Ohh yeah that definetly gets your point across, call me an idiot. You my friend happen to be the idiot who doesn't see the big picture.
You see trees but no forest. We aren't the richest country in this nation because we are doing things wrong, we happen to be doing almost everything right. Ohh and don't give me bullshit like how we are using 3rd world countries. What would they be doing in the first place without us? Yeah take a guess, most likely living in little villages doing nothing for the advancement of manking. We give them jobs to manufacture our goods, they get a richer country. Sure we end up staying filthy rich but their country ends up having their standard of living increased and they get slowly elevated to first world status.
You don't create wealth for your people by handing out free money to poor people. You create wealth for your people by building a working economy.
Exactly, My grandparents came here in 1991 from albania, and you know what, compared to they have been living here at least 50x better. Ohh and let me let you in on a little secret, they do janitorial work and don't make that much money, but they are still very very very happy. Much happier then they would be if they were still in Albania.
It's all relative, the "poor(not including the bums, im taking abotu the people who make 20k a year)" live better then almost everyone else in the world.
Umm, the fuel gets on the suits and once they get back into the station the stuff on the suits you know gets into the air?!?! Russian Rocket fuel is nasty stuff that you don't want to be breathing in or touching.
Holy bejeezuz you might actually have to think for a second like the guys at NASA/Russian Space Agency do!
AFAIK Virgin galactic will be taking people up to 140km+ and they will be in freefall for approximately 4-6minutes. It would be rather fun, and its a way of investing in Virgin Galactic so that someday they could send people 400km+ into space for a full orbit, Or maybe even get people to and from one of the Bigelow Aerospace Hotels.
The real question is, what would happen if someone took a dump outside on the space elevator. And the answer dum dum dum is you would have lots of poop in an orbit around the earth. Maybe someday we will have a ring of poop surrounding the earth preventing future space travel from ever happening.
The best way would most likely be to have a Doctor of sorts, or at least someone who is well qualified on the ISS doing research. When an emergency comes, bam the doctor is there to save the day.
EVE hah! *TheKidWho swings his nerfbat of doom doing infinite damage to Tekgno* *Tekgno's megapulse laser strikes TheKidWho's Imperial nerfbat thingie healing for 3000"
I mean like whats there seriously... Ohh wait, when we start running low on oils and other hydrocarbons on Earth(the ones we use to manufacture plastics and other industrial goods), we got a nice big giant "Hydrocarbon Planet" named Titan to visit for all of our plastics need.
Now to figure out how to get our ships to go at least.1c in a reasonable amount of time, VASIMR? Gas Dynamic Mirror Fusion? Or Fission Fragment Rocket? Or those lovely but slow Ion Drives?
The Grandparent was complaining about the FCC not the FEC.
Also correct me if im wrong, but isn't the FEC regulated payed blogging that is used for campaigning. IE placing limits on presidential/congress/other candidates for the internet too, just like they have for real world campaigning. I don't see much which is wrong there. As long as they aren't trying to regulate regular blogging that everyone else does, including for free campaigning.
IE they aren't going to stop me if I write "I love nader" 1,000,000 times on my blog, but they will try to "regulate it"(whatever it is they do for regular campaigns) if Nader's campaigning department is paying me to write it 1,000,000 times.
No way... The way the dual shock controller forces you to place your thumb to use the analog stick becomes a pain after a while. The Xbox/Dreamcast style controller is much much better.
And Bulky? Ever used the smaller X-Box Controller? It fits perfectly in my hands at least.
Anyways not like any of this matters I have no gamecube/xbox/ps2 anymore. Not enough good space/flight sims on those consoles.
It's a legitimate patent I would say. Just because your so damned used to vibrating controllers doesn't negate the fact that immersion had the patent before Sony introduced their dual shock controllers.

and are you speaking as a poor person in the US? Or are you just pulling shit out of your ass.
I think your just pulling shit out of your ass.

I'll be in it too!
Besides the scientific use of these computer thingies, what use is are they for everyone else?!
think of it as an investment. We get payed back by having a richer economy and having our standard of living go up. Its win-win.
ok, maybe .001c would be fine too. I just pulled the number out of my ass :-D
no, ms open sources windows under gpl
its as nano as my weener!!!!

ehh we arent going to be running low on hydrogen and oxygen anytime soon... At least I hope not.

Start small, and get bigger.

yeah right.
How about their intellimice or sidewinder pros? Those were amazing pieces of hardware.
X3...
If only it was Independence War 3 or Freespace 3 =(

just give the foundation series another Hugo!

back when they first invented it, it was most likely something amazing and kick ass.
