Thousands of tonnes could (theoretically) be launched by something like Project Orion. The estimated cost of the fallout would be ~20 people getting cancer across the world.
Lets launch it from your home town, since it is your idea.
To clarify: an "adverse reaction" in this case means something which will probably kill you in a couple of weeks, as opposed to normal reactions to chemo which are unpleasant and fatal to some tissues.
Asteroids are a good target for missions because they are easy to get to in energy terms. There were plans to do it with Apollo. Doing something is better than doing nothing, and an asteroid mission is pretty much all NASA could do now outside low earth orbit. It is actually easier than going to the moon.
Oh definitely, but you won't convince my wife of that right now. One thing you could do is start the chemotherapy slowly. Give the patient a small dose and wait two weeks for adverse reactions to appear. If they don't then start the full treatment. But over the full population of cancer patients this may lead to worse outcomes.
Thats a pretty average school by southern hemisphere standards. My sons primary school in Australia has 100 students. A big secondary school might have 500 or so.
Its the same where I work. A rate is negotiated based on the number of systems (and in my case) vmware images running windows. But if we save on windows licenses it helps in the long term because future contracts will get buy with fewer licenses.
So basically devs are the 24 hr support crew as well as the developers. Needless to say, most devs don't want to be support, so leave the company very quickly.
Oh okay. I did that for almost ten years at my last job with our state road authority. We supported a lot of hardware as well as the software and for a lot of the time I was doing it two weeks on then two weeks off. It wasn't so bad but if you are the kind of person who expects to spend weekends pissed and unable to move then it might result in a few lifestyle challenges.
We got perks for being on call though. But OTH the perks and pay combined were less than my total pay in my next job.
The only real problem I have with tabs is when they get used other than for indenting, as a way of inserting three spaces because that was the distance to the next tab stop when the code was last touched. Then somebody inserts characters earlier in the line and bizarre things start happening over to the right. I think its that kind of thing which sometimes get tabs banned in some environments.
Also commit policies. Even if it leaves untouched lines alone you might have fiddled with the indenting of a line you didn't intend to commit a change to.
They are not rules. The poor teenagers are more likely to want something in return for passing on content they have got their hands on than to seed a torrent for the benefit of others.
An by the way I don't believe google and the internet mean that content has to be free. I am fine with creators who charge to download their works, but I don't download DRM controlled formats. But at the same time I can't really be bothered distributing free copies of stuff I may have downloaded. I have 5 gigabytes of CDs on my laptop which I am not sharing with others, mostly because they would pick on my taste in music...
Do you realize how quickly JK Rowling and other authors would be murdered if that were the case? Book publishers would end up with their own mercenary task forces to get access to popular works.
Heinlein would have loved that idea...

For some reason nobody is getting jokes today.

Yeah my guess of 500 could be too low. It has been a while, but schools here do tend to be smaller than overseas.
Wouldn't the vast sum of money required be better spent preserving the rainforests here on earth?
I would prefer to preserve the rainforests in orbit around Saturn.
Our hardware is too unreliable
Launching from Earth is too expensive to build something which will mass thousands of tonnes
Assembly in vacuum and microgravity by humans is too dangerous and expensive
I could go on. We are just not there yet. We won't be there in 100 years either.

They need to settle on a plan and stick to it!
A novel idea.

Doing something is better than doing nothing, and an asteroid mission is pretty much all NASA could do now outside low earth orbit. It is actually easier than going to the moon.
Is there also a false-positive problem here?
Oh definitely, but you won't convince my wife of that right now. One thing you could do is start the chemotherapy slowly. Give the patient a small dose and wait two weeks for adverse reactions to appear. If they don't then start the full treatment. But over the full population of cancer patients this may lead to worse outcomes.
But it is what I would do, if I had a choice.
OK, 4 racks * 48 servers/rack = 192 servers at new location
No wonder we are running short on IP addresses.
Server room gear tends to get smaller over time too.
The school only has 230 students.

Oh right, python.

Python always considers tabs to be 8 spaces regardless of what your editor is set to.
Well its not psychic, isn't it?

RAH would of course be the biggest, nastiest shark in the sea, so a policy of hunting people to cancel their copyright would only work in his favour.

Will your movie be free on the internet?
An by the way I don't believe google and the internet mean that content has to be free. I am fine with creators who charge to download their works, but I don't download DRM controlled formats.

Don't I at least get a "whoosh"? :-)
Oh okay Wooooooosh!
