Where are my mod points when I NEED them? This^(googleplex). There is a HUGE gap between the basic intros and actual useful (soph, junior & senior level courses) information. In fact, this is probably what is holding back ANY info. "revolution". Until then, there are no truly useful answers in the crowd.
Is reading SFF is a factor in the SFF Movie Industry producers such as yourselves? If so, what Science Fiction or Fantasy are you reading right now? Or What has been, so far, your favorite SFF book? And (Or) who is your favorite SFF author? Thanks for the great memories of watching your stuff the first time.
Don't travel abroad if License Plate Scanning bothers you. Google it, boys. Most countries now do it on all their borders, in the least. Users (countries) don't always advertise it but the makers of License Plate Scanning systems are all over the web. You guys need to travel more. Welcome to the rest of the world.
I think learning SHOULD be more like RPG's. The step by step approach in MMORPG's keeps me going.:) At least for the first few years of a subject. There used to be a reading program like that back in the 60's for 10-11 year olds in Ohio that used short stories. (don't remember the name) It had a range of reading comprehension where the level of comprehension was color-coded. I was SO worked up to become a PURPLE reader.
Your reply leads me to suspect that you probably have never stepped foot out of your own city, much less country. You have no idea how few rights people in most of the world have and how repressive the governments of countries like Pakistan, China, Iran, etc., are. I have to just laugh at your real ignorance of the rest of the world's situation. While the US has its problems, reporters aren't being shot down in "broad daylight" as in Brazil, Mexico, etc. I really do suggest you go spend a few years in just about any country not in NATO. Heck, even Europe is quite a bit more repressive than the US. Mouth-off to an EU policeman and he or SHE will beat the living crap out of you in public with no fear of reprisal. So, walk down the street when you want, yelling your hatred, and feel safe. This is the ONLY country (so far) in you can fairly safely do that. Go ahead. And have a nice day.
No, really. You should move. Besides it clearing the air considerably here, you really do need to go see that if you spout that silliness in a non-NATO country (and also IN some NATO countries) that you will not need a fair trial because the local police or military will have killed you in plain site of everyone. And all the witnesses will just walk away. It's sad, but true. So, good luck.
No, sorry, Your statement is akin to saying "Why hate on Ford (or GM), dudes?"
And, for the record, the dictionary definition of the word "cult" is simply any section of a genre of any religion. Only here in America have people mis-used the word to indicate what they regards as "whackos". So, , by definition, Catholicism is definitely a cult of Christianity. (And generally a group of "whackos" who have drank their own brand of kool-aid, their own completely unsubstantited "beliefs", which are no more substantiated than the belief in spaceships flying in the wake of comets. Just more "believed". Good grief.
I personally don't live anywhere near Wisconsin and really don't think anyone but those who live in that district should have any say, whatsever, what the FLYING FSCK the people of that community spend on their school system. What arrogance. this is my last post to Slashdot. Cya. Unbelievable.
There is no "Mass Transportation: in America, outside NY and Chicago. Washington, DC didn't add a line or track for 30 years and, surprisingly, adding a stub to Dulles Airport, which is about 40 years late, and is, as the Brits say, "Fsck-All" useless if you aren't headed for the airport. When I lived in London in the 80's and Stuttgart the last 4 years, there was a bus stop, always, within 2, max. 3, blocks of where I lived. In America, there is not even a bus-stop in my "sub-division" or neighborhood. I have to DRIVE to get to a bus stop.
Washington, DC is the size (in area) of London with the "Mass Transit" system of a city one-tenth the size. (And that would be denigrating all the European transit systems for cities that size.) So, Trans. Secretary X, I will happily give you my car when, and only when you arrange "Mass Transportation' in America, but not until then. In the meantime, it would be a good start to take all the current "Mass Transit Planners" out and shoot them. They haven't done "SQUAT" in the last 30 years.
Which is pretty much why Democracy works the best. It is the most ineffective form of government on planet. Lawyers trying to outwit lawyers at every turn. Leaving those of us, living mostly legally, alone most of the time.
Oddly the other reason Democracy works is that we (mostly) cheerfully pay taxes and on-time to get this form of government. Seems a fair trade most of the time. Hmm. Nap time. (Get off my lawn! Yawn.)
GM and Ford make ugly cars. The Taurus, the Fusion, the Focus, ugh. Same old, same old. Why, oh why? I would love to buy an American car but they all look goofy.
And asks for a drink of water. Google gives him a 5-course meal instantly, is utterly surprised that he doesn't really want that meal, just a glass of water, and is FLABBERGASTED that the man doesn't want to pay for a 5-course meal. Cuz the cost of meal is what they charged the advertisers whose logoes they stuck on every piece of dinnerware in the meal. May be time for that man to look elsewhere for his cup of water.
Good grief.
In the article, for pete's sake, the "expert to be quoted today", "Brian Weedon, a technical adviser to the Secure World Foundation and former orbital analyst with the USAF, " , actually IN THE FSCKING ARTICLE says, ""The X-37B is in a much lower inclination which means it can only see a very narrow band of latitudes, and the only thing that's of real interest in that band is the Middle East and Afghanistan.
"Is it spying on Tiangong-1? I really don't think so. [Emphasis mine.] I think the fact that their orbits intersect every now and again - that's just a co-incidence. If the US really wanted to observe Tiangong, it has enough assets to do that without using X-37B," he added.
"
Jeez, would it hurt the submitter too much to actually read to the END OF THE FREAKING ARTICLE? Headline-hunting much?
Actually, "Just get us self-driving cars already so that this and a number of related problems go away." is the REAL answer. The truth is that humans should not be driving cars or anything, if at all possible. We such at it. We kill hundreds of thousands of people every year. We NEED automatic cars, PLEASE. Thank you.

I dont know how to categorize the substance of God, I just can see how something can exist with no "physical substance".
Ah, well. My new definition of "God": Anything that is not ME. (The definition of "ME" is still under construction.)
Ah, apparently I have been saving this for YOU. SEE YA! lol

Isn't this the place that hates Anonymous Cowards?
Oh, NO! That "giant load off his back" means he's experiencing weightlessness which means he stowed away on the capssule! Abort! Abort! (Grats!)

Lovely. This was upgraded to "Insightful"? Good grief. There is a different between "screwed up" and "screwed over".

You keep using this term "We". I do not think it means what you think it means.

Amazing that '1984' would turn out to be due to marketing pressure, not the "evil Big Brother government" as was always assumed.
