You'd be utterly amazed how much you actually do exclaim your heterosexuality if you actually paid attention to your actions. People have very strong "normal" filters. You just simply don't notice a lot of stuff because it's "normal".
Depends on your precise definition of "cheap". Coal is cheap because, barring other forces like regulation, it can externalize most of the costs. No need to pay much for waste storage when you can pitch it into the air or bury it with common trash.
But we have a huge oil infrastructure which would have to be replaced.
Oil fields sure, but refineries and front end infrastructure would likely be re-purposed, as I doubt that liquid hydrocarbons are going away as a means of energy storage and transport anytime soon. The energy density is just so much better than other currently available means. By volume or mass, gasoline has over 40x better energy density than the best batteries we have, and hydrogen can't hold a candle to it by volume.
Like, have you seen the graphics man? You'd never be able to sell that nowadays! No one cares about all that strategy shit anymore, that's soo last decade, we're sophisticated now and demand photorealistic graphics!~
Cuts to NASA are completely and utterly pointless as far as balancing the budget. NASA's represents less than half a percent of the federal budget. You could run NASA at current levels for 4 years on what the F-22 project alone has cost.
Slashdot will eat any greater-than or less-than signs as it assumes they're used for tags. You need to use the HTML special entities codes for them to show up.
How are you going to determine who's junk is who's? Most of the danger is from anonymous little stuff like screws which can do an impressive amount of damage at orbital velocities.
Yes, and some of us remember the patent debacle with GIF. H.264 would be substantially worse (the incorrect popular impression of website owners being charged for GIF licensing would be correct for H.264) and there is a lot more time left on those patents (which won't expire until 2028) than Unisys had with LZW.
That definitely makes it clear, thanks. I see no difference on the 2nd or 3rd, but the first one of the Dali Lama is radically different when scaled vs. unscaled.
The Falcon 9 isn't very comparable to the Ariane 5. It's got about 2/3s to half the lifting capacity.
Falcon 9 will lift 10 tonnes to LEO or or 4.5 to GTO.
Ariane 5 will lift 16-21 tonnes to LEO or 6-10 to GTO.
The competitive Falcon 9 heavy (which will be one of the (if not the) biggest rockets outside the super-heavy stuff if/when it gets done) is still in development.
Also if you've seen the SAFER barrier in NASCAR, then you know it is possible to create cushioning to *absorb* the energy, rather than do nothing and blame the driver.
The barrier is only part of the whole system and would be nearly useless without the rest. You've also got a steel cage, crumple zones, multi-belt restraints, neck reinforcement, etc.
Once that guy left the track, no amount of barriers or cushioning would have helped at all.
Pillows or air bags would need to be of incredible size and compressibility to be at all useful. Lugers can hit over 80MPH and are practically buck naked aside from a helmet. Keeping people alive though that kind of sudden deceleration force is iffy even with a rigid steel cage, restraints, and crumple zones.
I doubt that not having the beam there would have made any difference.

The bit bucket needs regular emptying.
Actually, that should be whosyourmommy. Mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mother.
Here is the primary problem.
50%+1 to approve (and thus make mandatory) spending
66%+1 to approve taxes to pay for spending
Add in overly short term limits, current economic issues, and other miscellany, and you have a recipe for things getting screwed up.
Do you really want to restart the indent style holy war?
Though FTR, I personally don't like K&R style and prefer Allman.

Any kind of DNA damage done by the frequencies used by cellphones would be due to heating, but the power levels are much too low for that to occur.

Huh. I didn't believe you on that until I looked it up. I wonder why they don't use chromium.

It implements something vaguely resembling the specs, which is a damn sight better than 6 does.
Ideally, IE6, 7, and all sites designed for them should be cast into a fiery pit and wrought anew respecting proper standards.
But since that is not possible, we shall have to compromise and I will take some improvement over none at all.
That is why the the "industry driven" bit is there. It's an incompletely specified spec, which leaves it to be filled in with industry "standards".

Where are you getting that $10M figure from?
SpaceX's site says $44-49M.

Program files is privileged, but it does some automagic stuff to push config stuff, etc. to another folder (program data, IIRC).
It's sensible IMO and Linux also keeps configuration stuff separate from the binaries.
I've managed to get it by having office installed in a folder on the drive root rather than in program files.
There are the rare few who offer Tilley-like warranties. Read the fine print.
