But once you have your Created Open-source Construction Kit in your hand you should let it get in the Free Universal Construction Kit. Cause after all what good is a C.O.C.K if you can't use it with your other toys and F.U.C.K.?
This actually might not be a bad idea. If we could apply the miniaturization craze to printers that has been used on computers, maybe we could end up with a laptop that can spit out hard copies on request. Obviously it wouldn't have a huge reserve of blank paper, but for things like a boarding pass, movie ticket, or even just a quick print of the photo you just took, this could prove to be a useful idea. As small as current gen laptops have gotten I think you could combine one with a printer (and scanner too) without exceeding the 'reasonable to carry in a shoulder bag' size limit.
Just look at all the productivity gains over the last fifty years, where did it all go, not shared around at all, most of it went to feed the greed of a psychopathic minority. Reality is we should already be down to a 4 day 6 hour per day week but the greedy are never ever satiated, no matter how much they have and more importantly how little the rest of us have.
It continues to amaze me that NOBODY is talking about shortening the work day/week to fix our unemployment problem. The other thing we need to do is fix the broken overtime laws. At some point the corporations successfully lobbied to have anyone who has any decision making powers at all be considered a "manager" and as such not be subject to overtime regulations.
Yeah, that picture looks like it was pressed from a wood carving, scanned in, reprinted in a book at 1/32 scale, and then scanned in and blown up 10x for the article. The author could have done better copying the image by hand with a Wacom tablet.
On the other hand if you CAN do 3g you might as well. Sure, MOST people could handle 5 or 10, but practically EVEYBODY can do 3. And if you're trying to convince all the 80 year old rich dudes to invest in this thing, you better be sure they can ride on it without breaking a rib or having their heart give out.
I think he was maybe referring to the people on the ground in the area of the launch tube. I would imagine that you would have to build this thing on the ocean or in the Sahara desert to keep it from playing havoc with nearby electronics.
At 1.2 billion dollars for 250 users I would want artificial intelligence, direct neural interface, 2 months vacation in a tropical paradise, 2 months vacation in a winter paradise, and unlimited blow jobs (or tongue jobs, can't leave the female users out), as well as whatever the software was intended to do.
For 100 million I would settle for 24/7 live video conference / remotely operated tech support for minor issues, on site for major ones, natural language voice control, a week each on the nearest shore and the nearest mountain, and a hand job every time the software crashes.
Maybe it's a good thing it's not my job to negotiate software licensing deals, at least from the vendors standpoint. I'm sure the users would love me if I got half of those perks included.

Yeah, everyone who cites this case as frivolous seems to have the idea that the lady in question simply suffered some minor discomfort and a wet pair of pants instead of 3rd degree burns requiring skin grafts on her genitals.
Coffee should be pleasantly hot, not scalding hot. If you spill it on yourself, you should be a bit uncomfortable and maybe look silly, not have to spend a week in the hospital having your crotch skin replaced.
I'm not apprised of the situation at all except what I've read on this page, but the way I read that is that the company was fully aware of the sale, but didn't find out until later that the buyer was Apple, perhaps because they used a differently named subsidiary to make the purchase.
I would imagine such tactics are common for well known corporations and persons. After all, if Tim's Computers wants to buy your domain name (or trademark, or 500 widgets, etc.) you ask for $20. If Apple, Google, Microsoft, Foxconn, etc. want to buy your domain name, you'll be a lot more tempted to ask for $20,000 instead.
If by planned you mean considered and then abandoned..
The study of this proposed mission ended in 2007 with no further activities planned.
Ever since I heard about interferometry I thought we should put some satellites at far distant points (perhaps Earth's L2 and L3 points, with a repeater at L4 or L5 so the signal can get around the sun) and get some really impressive pictures of distant objects.
The only way to control crime is to lock up lots of repeat offenders and throw away the key.
Not necessarily, if you make less things illegal, by definition, crime goes down. We could lower our crime rate incredibly simply by ending the failed drug war. Unfortunately we have allowed prisons to become a private enterprise who lobby hard to keep business booming.
It's also impossible for a human to build a 747 from scratch starting with a pile of rocks and some sticks. We have this little thing called civilization that lets us coordinate on big projects.:-)
Yeah, after thinking about it for all of half a second, my sarcastic opinion is if someone says to you that they don't believe in global warming or climate change, ask them if they believe in your fist.
Punch them in the face before they have a chance to respond.
Yeah, our options pretty much boil down to A) Build fission plants. B) Figure out net positive energy fusion and start building those, or C) DRASTICALLY reduce our energy consumption, including using materials that require lots of energy to produce.
Of course this is leaving out option D) Kill a bunch of people so total net energy use goes down while keeping individual consumption up.
In the end we are going to need to go on to E) giant solar panels built in space, but personally I think we are going to need either A or B before we can get there, unless economics and politics change drastically in the near future.
This. I've spent my entire post-pubescent life telling girls this. Invariably they give me a quick grin like "aww, the geeky kid just gave me a clumsy compliment!" and then resume slathering on the glop on their faces. Of course then I hear "aghh, the universe hates me I keep getting pimples!" No, YOU hate YOU. Let your skin breathe damnit.

Well, I'm no expert on the issue, but I will say that this maglev only needs a single station instead of several along the line.
Personally I'm in favor of using a launch loop instead however.

...and I don't mean one or two contested elections...
At the risk of godwining the hell out of this thread.. well.. it only took ONE bad government to end up with the holocaust...
Or Anonymous's next project. Hack the MSC and have the DoD "lose cannon".

All your bosons are belong to us?
Why not plan for an array at one of the Lagrange points?
Just asking....
Actually exactly this is planned already.

Unless we both evolved from the same food yeast the former masters of the galaxy were farming on our planets!
Yes, I've been reading entirely too much Niven lately.

How exactly would one write such a law so that it wouldn't effectively ban the entire internet?
Or get together with your neighbors and petition your government to build a commuter train?
The failure (foam knocking off heat shield tiles) occurred during launch. Nobody noticed said failure until fiery disaster ensued upon reentry.
