Yes, but the library would never use that information to try to sell you something, which apparently is the most offensive activity imaginable, if you are a librarian.
That's not correct. The SpaceX Dragon capsule launched into LEO and recovered certainly has the ability to put a man into orbit. A human would have survived the previous flight. This can be purchased for the relatively bargain-basement price of 50 M$. I think you'll have a hard time
Yeah, I play the violin, so hands-free would be a definite bonus. Particularly when sight-reading. Even with a 15-note buffer, that's less than one measure of sixteenth notes.
I remember when Best Buy had some kind of partnership with Rhapsody. Then they dumped Rhapsody and went with Napster. Now they're dumping Napster off on the company they originally dumped.
By the way, I think Elon Musk should henceforth be given the mantle of "Rocketman"! NOTHING (other than the heat shields) is used to slow down the stages AND CAPSULE other than ROCKETS; not parachutes or lifting bodies or airbags! He's got a LOT of faith that they will function in absolutely split second critical situations. WOW.
Still I say, go for it! If he can make the rockets work, maybe they can launch from that spaceport in New Mexico. (Maybe he'll have to give the FAA a destruct switch on a MANNED spacecraft in order to launch over populated areas). Has engineering gone so far as to really make these things that reliable?
Rocket engines are not substantially more complicated than jet engines (in fact, much simpler in some ways), and millions of people have no problem at all relying on nothing but those to keep them alive. Keep in mind that the man-rated capsule would still have emergency chutes in case the rockets fail. Where's your chute when you climb on that Airbus?
That's ridiculous. Are we supposed to believe that, without Apollo, nobody at all would have seen the value of the integrated circuit? A friendly reminder: correlation is not causation. The fact that Apollo coincided and affected the development of the IC does not mean that Apollo *caused* the development of the IC. Furthermore, even if Apollo *did* cause the IC, it doesn't mean that something else wouldn't have caused the IC if Apollo had not.
I don't think anyone would argue that Powershell is a different paradigm, but I don't think it's that hard to understand. The only bit of "magic" is that whatever pops out the end of the pipe is formatted to text before being printed to the console. You don't need to do 'awk print $4}' when you can just do 'select-object name,description'. How is this less powerful or open-ended? That's what I'm not understanding. Especially because you can pipe the text output if you really want to with a.ToString().
Well, for one, it would allow you to improve and add functionality to basic utilities like ls without adding dozens of options and/or breaking large numbers of script.
easiest example, do 'ps', looks sane enough, now, do 'ps|cat', and suddenly you see the hard-to-manage man behind the curtain that can crop up in various situations
I don't really understand your example. You piped a binary object to cat - surely this is expected behavior? The only reason it seems unintuitive to you is that you don't expect ps to emit a binary object, right? Why would you ever pipe to cat in Powershell, anyways?

I'm guessing they would focus more on the next clause:
"; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
But what do I know, I'm just a simple unfrozen caveman lawyer.

It appears you are posting a reply to a story about Microsoft. Please select one or more of the following unfunny references:
o 640 K of memory
o Chair throwing
o Blue something of death
o Microsoft Bob
Do not include a punchline.
I know who said that! It was Agent Smith!
This is the most insightful comment I've read in a month.
I just don't see the downside.
It's unsanitary.

What I really want is a large e-ink display with a foot switch, so I can stop dicking around with sheet music and frantic page turns.
Oh, they are there, but they are sealed inside the unit so that they cannot be observed.
Perhaps he had a long talk with Francisco d'Anconia or something.
That's because Microsoft Research is doing more or less "pure" research work, not product R&D.

You should not comment on this thread if you do not know the difference between Java and Javascript.

Granted, they seem to be less viscous without Gates
Yes, Gates could be awfully thick about things. Fortunately, in such fluid times, MS is better able to go with the flow.

Extensibility. By using objects, you don't have to worry about forward and backward breakage to nearly the same degree. Reflection is also a big win.
So grab the source and build it yourself, instead of whining that somebody else, especially Microsoft of all entities, isn't porting it for you.
