What choice does the US have if the UK will not prosecute? We can't simply say that breaking into classified systems is "no big deal."
For all the whining that goes on about the bad public image that legitimate hackers have to deal with, you really don't have a leg to stand on if you're also going to argue that this guy shouldn't have to face any accountability at all or hasn't even done anything wrong. That's not acceptable to everybody else.
One reason more shuttle components are re-used (like the main shuttle engine) is cost - the shuttle components were quite expensive. Another is different design requirements, e.g., a main shuttle engine designed to run on liquid fuel and be started at 1 atmosphere is inappropriate for a rocket whose liquid-fuel engines have to be started in space.
I scoffed a bit at their description of the excess payload capacity of the crew-launch configuration as "free." I mean, you still pay for that capacity in fuel and delivery. You're not getting something for nothing. The Ares CLV has far less capacity but it should be far less expensive as well. And I'm not entirely persuaded that the costs of operating two launch systems will be that much greater than one combined system. We currently launch a wide variety of rockets for different purposes without it being cost-prohibitive.
On the other hand, the Ares CLV really seems to be cutting to the bone, to the point where they've cut land-based recovery. If your goal is efficiency, reducing your CLV capacity to the point that you can only ever do expensive seaborne recovery seems like a false savings.
But Windows is already capable of doing that. You can JBOD volumes together in the disk manager (at least in server versions) and you can mount volumes on arbitrary NTFS directories on I think every NT version going back to at least Win2K. The only requirement is that you must have at least one "root" letter for your boot volume, which happens to usually (though not always) be C.
1. Moot point anyways, as you can add arbitrary mount points anywhere in the NTFS file system quite easily. The only limitation is how many will show up under "My Computer."
2. It doesn't improve anything for anybody, especially as Windows already handles URI's just fine in most cases.
3. Good point. All of these things are pointless bitching about things that are almost completely arbitrary, with no real technical reasoning at all.
But I read every single "Adventures of Danny Dunn" book that my local library had, and enjoyed them all immensely. They are fantastical entertaining fictional stories, but with enough actual science to spark a genuine interest in the subject.
I would think that Apple's POW would be more concerned with escaping his corporate captors than whether their business fundamentals are sound. But maybe that's just my POV.
Yes, but, who exactly do you think actually builds all those weapons that the U.S. supplies to other countries? Hint: Answers do not include the U.S. government, U.S. soldiers, or evil robots.
If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it's because so many American men are obese - can't see their dick, let alone get laid, so they buy a gun and get a stupidly huge truck to compensate. But that's just, like, me opinion, man.
Hmmm, and here I was thinking it might have something to do with the U.S.'s armed revolutionary founding, or the historical significance of guns and frontier culture, or the philosphical importance of an armed citizenry. But no, you must be right, it's all about cocks.
I agree, and just want to note that while the decision itself may make gun control less of an issue for the upcoming election, the closeness of the vote on such a salient case will certainly make SCOTUS appointments much more of an issue.
I agree. Don't get me wrong, the base-building resource-gathering "simcity" aspect of the whole C&C series and its copycats is fun, I still enjoy it. But this style is a refreshing change and I was glad to see it done with some decent production values. It's more tactical and less strategic. But it's not SO tactical as to be needlessly complicated and unplayable.

I think he's talking about sending Earth bacteria to Mars to let them run around.
He didn't say "an optikon," he said "anopticon!"

But we've got to come down hard on people breaking in to Pentagon computers. Otherwise the WOPR is at risk!

Do you have a source for this number? It wasn't in the TFA that I could see.

For that matter, "xcopy /c" will accomplish the same thing, and that's been around even LONGER. OP is clueless.

One from the dear late Mr. Carlin...
Go into a gun store and buy a guy. Then ask if they have any ski masks for sale.
Buying a guy is prohibited by the Thirteenth Amednment.You also forgot a box, "jury," that goes between "soap" and "ammo."

What about the "rolling speed reduced" department?

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
This should make it much easier to spot imperial walkers on the north ridge.
And it radiates via what medium?
Luminiferous aether, of course. Ask a silly question...
