Well it's not as bad as Hot Black Desiato sending his space ship into a sun to go super Nova to promote one of his Disaster Area metal band tours. From HHGTTG
Yes, show me how its all going to be paid for, and most of it will be contracted out. I'm all for going to Mars and sending someone there. Pushing people to develop new technologies or think differently will help drive innovation. But don't cut current programs and funding just because someone wants to get to Mars in their term.
Yes THIS. Windows reboots and nukes everything I have open. Then for a fun part it kills off Google, and since it probably rebooted several times in the night without saying, the Google Chrome restore option is gone and all those Tabs with stuff to read are all gone.
No Its not OK, and I have turned off the auto rebooting, but it still does it.
We are working for the computers again, not the other way around.
I guess you have never done any Human Subject testing. All testing in the US has to have IRB approval (https://www.fda.gov/RegulatoryInformation/Guidances/ucm126420.htm) and the scientists doing the research need to have gone through the IRB course and sign that they can't not use data that is not been submitted and reviewed prior to experiments so that they don't do something illegal and un-ethical, like the Stanford Prison Experiment. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment).
Yes maybe some good data came from that, but the means do not justify the ends, same thing applies when doing testing on animals.
Yes must have been on TV, maybe it was Sci-Fi. The First Moon Landing was July 20th, 1969. I doubt they got a show out about Neil Armstrong and his life in 5 months after that.
I will add to this. This was when the Keyboard vs Mouse was just starting. I was only keyboard back then, you learned some good techniques, but alas the Mouse is the way to go now.
Also I want to congratulate./ and the many great posts here, as this tread is what this site is supposed to all be about. Geeks and their technology.
And the people from the 70's-90's that were the real First Computer Generation, So many good stories from a new World and Industry that was just starting to happen, you will not see that again for quite a while.
Ah yes, I remember those days, we ran the SGI OpenGL version of Doom, you had to download the WAD file to run it, but it ran the whole game and of course Multiplayer DOOM, sound and all. We had 4 Workstations in the Lab all networked together on a fast network, and every night starting around 10PM, we would stop working / or working on thesis and then play Deathmatch for 4-5 hours. This went on for several months. There was nothing like it and nothing like trying to be on the top. I would dream at night of what it would be like 10-15 years in the future, but wow the graphics today in FPS and Multiplayer games is just amazing. I wonder what it would be like 20 years from now. We all went on to be successful people in the computer industry.
Nice to see your stuck in the 60's with your thinking and knowledge. Get back to me when you actually can contribute to conversations instead of being so negative and limited all the time.

I tell you, it was the Bugs!
It will be Buenos Aires next!
Would you like to know more?

When the Chinese are a funder for the movie, then they make sure there is a positive Chinese angle in it.
Yes there was a Star Trek TNG episode called 'Relics' where Scotty was frozen in a transporter that crashed into a Dyson Sphere. Was a good episode.

Yes and all music is just 7 notes. So a song is..those notes in different variations. but you cant copyright the notes.
It's a way to clean out the house on all those under performers, or people in positions that are not doing much. And all companies have them.
There is a new study that says the Gingivalis might be a cause of Alzheimer's.

Not sure if that runs in your family, but it's worth checking and trying to fix it.

So people are reading more then watching movies, listening to music or playing video games?
That's a good thing then, right?

I think your taking about Duke Nuke Em, not Doom.
It might be better to actually dig a very very deep hole and let the water go into it.
Once you start Taxing things, it doesn't stop and it won't ever go away.
I seem to have heard this somewhere before:
No taxation without representation...

So they are planing a plant to claim the territory?
Do they have another satellite? Because how are they going to get the signals back?
Also we have already mapped the whole moon, so what do they plan to find out?
