In the second short story in the collection of "The Man Who Sold the Moon". I forget the actual title but basically people are living on the moon and the story (only 20 pages or so) highlights why Mars sucks unless we have unlimited technology. Heinlien has been right about everything so far, so I trust his judgement
If every Slashdotter bought $100 dollars worth of non-preffered stock we could completely alter their business tactics... Imagine... Stopping the devil from within hell. I strongly suggest that all readers invest a minimum in their IPO if nothing else but to be kept in the loops on their shareholder information and future marketing strategies...
I've had that mouse (and the keyboard, although that is a new, larger keyboard, mine is TINY) for over a year and it works GREAT! I love it! I use it mostly on desk, not with the gyro, but when I want Gyro its amazing... I mainly use it for gaming with RTS and it doesn't work well with FPS. Wonderful product
completely off topic, but I just found a great site (in my eyes) and was wondering if anyone could tell me how to view a websites source code without actually opening it... http://meshier.com/fs/a/ is the site, but be warned, don't go there unless your prepared for a fight... Thanks
Yanno, the response and obvious lack of knowledge from everyone here is rather, well, disturbing. I realize it started as a joke ^^^ but, umm, still, shows real ignorance. All the people trying to explain (and succeeding) aren't trolls when it comes to something important damn it!
Has anyone here read any of Stephen Baxter? He makes the best case for the realities of infinity. More over, as stated above, he argues that the human mind, evolved from trees, meant for picking gnats from eachother's fuzz, simply can't handle such large ideas. When I first started reading his works (some five years ago) I thought that was simply preposterous. But now, as I learn more of the realities of science and our universe, I'm now so sure. Imagine being faced with the truth of something infinite, be it time, etc. We would sooner rot than comprehend something, IE infinity creates god. Perhaps our monkey brains and our base 10 mathematics (count those fingers kids) aren't meant to leave the forest of Planet Earth.
