But to just stand there and watch it burn? That should be criminal, what if people died? I think the firefighters should go to jail. What has his world come to when the people sworn to serve and protect decide not to? Sounds like anarchy.
My thoughts exactly.
Kinda reminds me of that scene of the fire in gangs of NY. All that's missing is the firefighters sacking the neighbor's house.
75k / 12 = 6250 $ per month, I guess that's the figure they're pointing at. Sure, the story title says 75k flat, but the summary clearly says 75k as an annual sum.
As for the picture of the coins with smileys, as i get it, suggests money + happiness, a good match for the story title. I can't see what is wrong with that.
A case of tabloid-like effectism at most, but which media outlet, big or small, isn't guilty of that these days?
Besides, the story is under the idle category. IMHO, it shouldn't be taken that seriously.
That's why i call BS on this. No player I know would risk such a ginormous loot on a T1 frig, no cloak, no backup, no insta-warp, no nada, on possibly the most wretched hive of scum and villainy in the entire cluster?.
The cynic in me could say this is a sort of publicity stunt/political smokescreen from CCP to deflect attention from that recent PR bomb.
For those unfamiliar with it: CCP years ago, after *another* PR snafu, designated a group of player-elected players to form a committee, called the "council of stellar management" (CSM) to allow players to elevate grievances and petitions to CCP's top brass, CCP supposedly even bestowing on them "shareholder" power or something of the sort (Pure BS if you ask me). Couple of weeks ago(last week even?), CCP essentially slipped that they didn't give a rat's ass about the CSM...
I agree.
Water presence? Temperature within habitable range? At least a primordial atmosphere?
Not sure if Kepler is the right tool to collect that kind of data, but to call them "earth like" seems premature. Granted, if the size approaches that of earth chances are they're rocky, solid planets, but that's it.
Considering that red dwarfs are expected to last trillions of years (no red dwarf has ever died. The universe is too young), we just need to move to a planet around one of them, assuming they have habitable planets.
Us having the ability to travel all those light years to a red dwarf and possibly perishing because there are no habitable planets?
If we can travel FTL by then, why not imagining that we're able to send unmanned ships to build a cozy sphere around the geezer star, and then moving in?
...the middle America just wants "science" in the dust bin and back to safe, faith based engineering subjects.
Can you even imagine a faith based engineer?:
- The Lord will split the river in two for us to build the dam, amen.
- Let's pray to Jesus Christ this holy bridge, made in the image of Moses' Ark, holds its own.
Might sound silly, but if some zealots have their way in changing education content, say, with stuff like intelligent design... who knows
who wishes us to believe dinosaurs could evolve to hold a basketball. the holy truth is of course intelligent dribbling, probably taught by 3 point all star jesus himself to intelligent basketball playing dinosaurs on jurassic half courts
... that he teached those dinos just before the tournament finals of 5500 bc
That said, looking at the intended use ("Denon-Link") it seems to be multichannel 192kbps PCM audio, hence $500 for 1.5m is obviously a total waste of money.
I feel compelled to call it a blatant scam, instead.

Ditto, WTF is the submitter smoking?
Back then it was cutting edge, and still today it looks beautiful in it's own kind of retro way

Boob pad...
Since MessedRocker beat me to "boob panel"...
Or is that more appropriate to a mobile pr0n device?
Call me a cynic, but doesn't this reek of fabrication? Like NCSoft concocting this for use as a marketing ploy?
Seriously, a kestrel solo in Jita?

Wish I had modpoints for giving you that last to get to +5, well said.

It certainly doesn't stop blasters or light sabers. What use is it?
or rocks, or ewok spears ffs.
but you got to admit, that armor looks l337
I guess the eulogy for that mouse was: he died because he had the cojones
I mean, it's a mouse. What did they use? A tiny version of the device they use on prize bulls and horses?
This got to be one in the top ten lousiest jobs ever: mouse sperm gatherer
A proven (or that will be proven) rocket design, with open specs, that's amazing.
Open source rules!
. . . Fusion power and personal scramjets are around the corner. YAY!!!!!
They are around the corner, right? right?
