NASA had several designs that were larger than the Saturn V that never made it into production. Most of them were called Nova something or other. One of them used 8 F1 motors in the first stage (compared to 5 for the Saturn V).
Corporations would never stand for blocking of site sthat they could advertise on.
If such an asinine action were ever undertaken by the US government, I can only hope that the corporations wouldn't be needed to do something about it. Of course, this sentiment presumes that at least part of our government is still "of the people."
I actually use the submission port (with ssl turned on). An experienced admin might figure it out but since I don't really send that much email it's probably not conspicuous in the logs.
I have a web server that I also use as an SMTP relay for all my email addresses. That way there isn't any chance for someone to log the mail I send. This is a good setup if you know what you are doing and make sure to secure it against spammers.
I recently hosted a mirror of an image in one of my posts that got around 800 hits. This was what my stats were for that.

When the products the carriers promote have these capabilities, why do they not support them?
Probably because the marketing department often likes to rush features into promotion that the engineering department doesn't yet have ready for production.
I am waiting for a good reason to send man to mars. But so far, we got nothing.
How about because it is there and we are here, and if we don't find a way off this rock before we turn it into a smoldering pile of nuclear waste our species isn't going to leave behind much of a legacy.
Tires on a car don't last a year on a smooth road for example.
Tires can last much longer than a year. I know people who have had the same set for three years.
But relating to why the tires on the rovers last (and will continue to), it has to do with friction. Tires on car get very hot when driving at highway speeds, and abrasion occurs (when small pieces of it comes off and stick to the road). The rovers tires move at such slow speeds that the heat generated by friction is negligible and abrasion forces are very small.
There have been a continuing series of rumors that Apple is developing an Office suite with features on par with MS Office, and I think that is quite likely true.
However, I really don't see Apple releasing such a product at the current time, when they really need MS to continue development on OS X Office to attract potential switchers.
I think it is more likely being developed as a contingency plan in case anything happens with MS to cause them to terminate development of OS X Office or sour their relationship with Apple.
We saw this already with the browser situation. Apple promoted IE heavily over Netscape only while their agreement with MS required it. Then when development on OS X Explorer started to languish badly and it was clear that it was no longer a priority for MS, Apple released Safari. It is quite likely that development on it began long before then.
That's what I was saying. I could really care less which news network someone watches for hours a day. The fact that they can stand any of them disturbs me.
The media likes to discover a lot of things that were obvious for many years
I have seen this countless times. Most of them go something like "According to reports recently brought to light by [insert reporter here]" when all said reporter did was cite a document available for years at a public archive or pull out some obvious fact from an interview with an expert that anyone who was informed on the subject would already know.
I think this is because many times simply reporting news is too boring. If it doesn't involve controversy, scandal, or some time of politically charged topic, then such material has to be manufactured to keep the news entertaining and the advertising dollars flowing.
Wow, I knew some people had weak constitutions, but that is ridiculous.
Is that really of significance?

Leo was the only person giving TSS any semblance of watchability. When he left the whole thing spiraled down the toilet fairly quickly. Even before then, a lot of the unique tech content that made TSS cool at the beginning had started to be replaced with useless fluff.

Americans want to get out of school and into the workplace and Indians want to get out of the workplace and back in school.
Sounds like a fair trade to me.

Are you an American, or do you just share the same gene that tells you when something can't be easily fixed the best solution is to blow it up?
Well I limit access by IP as well, so they would have to connect from my system.
I actually use the submission port (with ssl turned on). An experienced admin might figure it out but since I don't really send that much email it's probably not conspicuous in the logs.
Except that all connections to and from your server are unencrypted
Nope. I use SSL with it.

Despite his admitted discomfort in speaking ill of others he did not have anything nice to say about Jef Raskin.
Well that's because Raskin is an arrogant prick.

That's not marketing, it's brainwashing.

why do we need to send astronauts
Because we can.

Even less bloat and unlike Appleworks and it comes with all copies of OS X.
The News Hour is quite good, but that's because I don't really consider PBS a "news network." I was referring to the cable news channels in that post.
That's what I was saying. I could really care less which news network someone watches for hours a day. The fact that they can stand any of them disturbs me.
I've called my parents "news junkies" no less than 8 times this week.
My mother watches at least 2-3 hours of Fox News every day. Sad really.

you'd think the editors would proofread a submission
You must be new here.
No wait, I see you have a 5 digit UID. In that case, you must live in a hole with a blindfold on.
Leo chose to leave IIRC. Probably because he was smart enough to see what it was becoming and didn't want to be a part of that.
Why do we care - Because /. says you should.
