I keep a Yosemite partition my MacBook Pro to run camera control software on my telescope. It won't run on El Cap and newer and newer versions of the camera control software dropped support for my perfectly good camera. Catch 22.
While the comet mission is certainly worthy, Titan is is the most Earth-like body in the solar system, except for temperature. It has a thick atmosphere of mostly nitrogen. It has a complex "hydrological" cycle with methane as the analog to water. There are surface lakes, rivers, and seas of liquid methane and ethane. The Cassini-Huygens mission detected extremely complex hydrocarbons in the atmosphere. All of this makes Titan a really interesting place to look for life. If it's there, it will likely be Very Different from life as we know it.
Agreed. He was very well known back when he was writing. I devoured his stuff back in the early sixties when I was in junior high. The list of his works in Wikipedia is by no means complete.
Back in the early 70s when I was a grad student in biology, there was a lot of LSD around; also psilocybin, mescaline, and of course pot. Many of us used them as recreational drugs. It was fun, but it sure as hell didn't get your thesis written or your research done, even. For that you needed coffee. The few who took the "insights" of those trips seriously wound up going down the rabbit hole of "deep ecology" or some other bullshit.
The wave front of the first broadcast of Wayne Newton's "Danke Schoen" is now 54 light years from Earth. The alien extermination fleet is probably already on its way.
Right you are, Joe. It changed me too. Having access to one of those things and learning BASIC programming made me "the guy who knows about computers" before they were common in a business environment. It gave a huge leg up over the next few decades.

I do! Some of my friends and family are in countries without the freedom of speech protections of the United States and the United Kingdom. ThoughtCrime can get you in a lot of trouble in large parts of the world.
That's all well and good, but the sucker should be held to answer criminally. He should do five years or so in prison with the kind of people that actually use payday loans and such not some Club Fed with his fellow embezzlement artists and the like.
Seconding pecosdave here. I used Jawbone earpieces for years and they were great. They even gave acceptable performance in my sports car with the top down. They last one I bought two years ago was a piece shit, however. It was allegedly the sam model as the one i lost, but it had a reduced feature set, the audio sucked, and the bluetooth connectivity was troublesome. Frustration pushed me to be an early adopter of AirPods, which are greatly superior to Jawbone. They were the top of the heap in their market niche, but they tried to jump into a different segment and neglected their core business success. The end was inevitable.
At the time, Comes was a private citizen who shared his knowledge of the contents of an unclassified document. Please explain to me how that is illegal.
I have a series 2 watch, and I love it. I bought it for one reason only, I'm a serious swimmer. It's waterproof at shallow depths, and I can load complex workouts on it. I live in rural area without a masters' swim program, so it works great for me. The only real alternative is a Garmin device that costs twice as much.
When I started using these rides, I talked to the drivers about how they liked their job. All of them that had driven for both preferred working for Lyft. Universally, they said that it was easier to make more money working for Lyft. As a consequence, I only use Lyft now. From the passengers point of view there is little difference in cost.
This is no different from the drill for laptops. On your travel day, back up your phone, encrypt the backup, send through your by vpn to a server stateside, reset the phone to factory defaults. Download the backup when safely stateside.

In the fourteenth century, the rats were considerably cleaner than the humans.

So yes, they are lying. What did you expect?

These guys were a lock for the prize as soon as their paper was published. The only question was in which year would it be awarded. Awesome work.
I have no explanation, but I've noticed that this happens every year.

It's worth noting that except for the title two words, "Danke Schön", Newton sang the song in English. I too hope that was tongue in cheek.

Knowledge of the Hayes command set was fundamental to geek cred.

Nah! It was Rock N Roll in the fifties. It's been all downhill since then.
Nice try Anonymous Coward. I still see more posts from you.

Kill it with fire and pour acid on the ashes. It's only use in history is as a horrible cautionary tale.

Your checkbook.
What do they mean by 'nearby'?
They mean in our star system, near enough that we've already sent space vehicles there, travel time measured in months instead of lifetimes, etc.

Oh no. Whatever will Mike Pence do for a search engine?
