Oh don't go too far with specifics; it isn't a very good LEO booster at all, it wastes most of the launched mass on airframe. Part of the orbital habitat in question was simply designed to require Shuttle. And first grounding perhaps was a wasted opportunity...
When you look at actual fatality rates, subcompact vehicles tend to be average at worst. False feeling of security (what, say, the SUV appeal relied to great effect / sales) appears to end up more dangerous; probably it brings passivity... heck, maybe it's even a form of learned helplessness.
ISS is a synergy, not only a continuation of Alpha project (which was indeed planned in a way to give Shuttle a purpose...and it can be argued that the Shuttle stalled some grander things...), also of modules which were for some time in the making / were supposed to form Mir 2. And about those plans and direction... (almost a bit too bad they lost the Moon Race, I can almost see them maintaining small lunar base for some time now)
Thing is, the future probably can't be done via a crazy crash project in the style of Apollo. ISS does help us along the way
Decency is explicitly tied to particular morality (world view, etc.... you get the idea, a lot of things can be listed here) - so I'm not sure if such outright dismissal of how I personally see external conduct as also important, as tied, is warranted. I tend to see styles of governance (internal, external... how do you draw a line? Are different groups responsible?) as largely reflecting their societies, as one organism.
Even looking at just domestic rights... Dixie wasn't a shining beacon not a long time ago / that Chomsky link touches upon them, too, on underclass. And going through that list, "clear" Caucasians do seem kept in somewhat higher regard (even "enemies" - why Morgenthau plan was abandoned when the risk of it aiding in the spread of communism was realized? The German left could be simply targeted for outright destruction, like in Operation Condor...). Curiously, US is also a rare example of "one drop rule"... (an absurd concept, considering recent African origin of all modern humans)

Yes, yes, thanks for showing again how Apple loves closed non-standards, if there's a chance it pays them good; q.e.d. (which isn't changed by "1)"; & learn to read, nowhere did I say that I prefer filesystem access (quite the contrary, "which of course was non-optimal") while saying we do have open standard, in MTP, ignored by... guess who)
Exactly the point (though probably not "any other" but "most"); while some people seem to flaunt some supposed impressive openness.
(and if, beside that, you insist on pointless rhetoric... 1) could it be why the line about some Shuffle was so vague? (never heard of iLounge BTW) 2) don't twist it into something different - it's a fact that we have a standard way of syncing, MTP (and previously file access, which of course was non-optimal / but it's good to have), one which Apple doesn't want to use 3) you really managed to convince yourself / believed PR how that has anything to do with dismissing the possibility of licensing the DRM scheme to "competitors"? Apt nick...)
Which doesn't change the examples I listed and the conclusion... (plus - iPods were dwarfed by AAC capable (and where's eAAC and eAAC+, in "all of them"?) mobile phones long before Apple AAC joined real life standard, outside of one DRM-locked source; you might want to verify basics next time BTW, like this "few play MPEG4")
You can have a bit of a mess with various USB plugs, too. Most "legacy" devices and cables didn't present much more troubles... (when it comes to "standard")
Generally, saying how "nearly every USB peripheral that came out then had matching color for each iMac color. ~99.5% of all USB peripherals back then where designed for the Macs. Especially the iMacs" seems to come from a very local perspective, also (kinda like iPods "dominated"... if one looked at few markets. Like iPhone "dominates" and Nokia in general or Samsung & LG touchscreen "feature phones" (Corby, Star or Cookie) are nowhere to be seen).
iMacs practically didn't exist in most of the world (that's still largely the case, go through random countries in Statcounter). OTOH, IIRC, in the second half of 1998 new PCs adopted ATX en masse, with its two USB ports. Oh, and I don't think I've seen more than a few "translucent random color" peripherals around... (some categories of them weren't even needed much, in grander picture, like USB FDD drives)
Apple abandoned their "legacy" ports (different, here very much non-standard), which were sort of dead already / USB was how they could jump on economies of scale. Of scale.
That would be probably cost prohibitive - local dial-up most likely billed by the minute, and while cellular data access seems moderately decent (Part 4)...both of them will most likely be affected by night ban. Don't get into costs of direct dial to unaffected location...
But then, the last thing shouldn't stop MMO addicts.
iPod dock connector?... Some recent Shuffle with lockout of unauthorized headset controls? Lack of access to those players via file system or MTP? One-off DRM? (no, it isn't gone - look at, say, e-books; or generally "one appstore to rule them all")
They don't appear to have much of a very clear position when it comes to promoting open standards... just when it seems practical to them, I guess.
Well, Catholicism itself is more than half. That was the point.
Regarding heretics...depends what you include as "major branch"; are those "several minor branches" close enough to wrap them up into one?
Yes, the insiders of each would probably protest, point out their differences... but as far as witnessing them from the outside goes, it's less than semantics.
They would be likewise unable to do that if picking up a pretty much abandoned GPL + commercial Qt (or misdirected, but owned by somebody else; they would be barred from commercial one / with LGPL it can at least live on)
Pasting Unicode links can get tiresome on/., especially on random OS / browser combinations; new/. apparently even manages to have more often some hiccups. In the meantime it always awaits, handy, at url shortener, ready to use (it's a good image when it comes to cooling off wild imagination)
But that's the thing - 100 years ago somebody could write something analogous, likewise convincing; noting how present (then) efforts have become unreasonable. I was just trying to say...sharing such view, such argument, might hardly clarify things, not reveal much (not so much in your case, after the above post...)
Well, except that you could be possibly overoptimistic about present situation, you might be overlooking things. Now, I can't know how it looks at your place. I do know that my place has appropriate regulations... which are to a quite notable extent dead as far as their implementation, their goals go. And that's in one of more "enlightened" countries, generally. Which, while fairly small, is far from homogeneous - there are visible differences between types of employers or locations (small town, large city, etc.), pay grade, geographical region.

Well, I did play over cellular (GPRS / EDGE at that) in Diablo II and it was absolutely fine. Gotta try Quake Live...

And how is that different from any other company?

If Light Peak can form a network between machines - imagine a Beowulf cluster using it!

Tools that run periodic performance tests and continuous surface crawls will make a fool out of SMART every single time.
Tools, such as?...
Curious to hear that ending part, few days after one (long powered on) light bulb here basically exploded. ;p

Legacy ports which... were standard?
What Coren22 says; but why kidding @"intrigued and would like to...."? ;/ (well, ignoring for a moment that's something I must yet get around to)
And regarding the country of one major precursor...the horror, THE HORROR!
Rail roads were built on the backs of incredibly powerful and nasty monopolies.
...and of Chinese? (here and there...)
