Do the clean, renewable energy project get to pick up the bill for the clean up?
You mean: "do the taxpayers pick up the bill for the cleanup?" Renewable energy is not economically feasible so it's already a taxpayer burden in the first place.
So when the oil and uranium runs out we're all dead, right?
Here on the East Brunswick (96) route we have the Big Yellow Tram. Its too long for the stops but more worryingly it crashes. If it comes back up you get a nice informative display of firmware version on the internal LED sign which normally displays NEXT STOP, etc.
So far the version number hasn't increased. I hope a fix is on the way.
The big problem is when people decide to all hop into one location in the game and melt an individual server or node, which happens by default at launch time.
So why don't the clients communicate peer to peer in that situation? They can all handle the physics. The server should just keep track of who is where.
I have the impression that in Eve you are a ship, while in Wow you are something more like a person, and the modeling in Eve is easier because of this.
I spent four years riding my bike to work, then on July 30 I crashed on a tram track and broke my right humerus. So I have to spend three or four months off the bike. The tram commute is easy and direct (40 minutes or so). I started out buying books at minotaur but the laptop beckoned and frankly there is nothing else which can make 40 minutes go just like that for me.
My code is free and available on line. Using a DSCM tool makes it easy for me to push changes to other systems and to the web server. I am currently working on a simple MMO built around Java3D. It is the hardest thing I have done for years and it is a great way for me to exercise my aging brain cells. I feel sorry for people who can't write software. When I travel for work I can plug my laptop into the power and eat up the hours with ease. It makes the seven hour leg to Malaysia go that much faster.
Yeah also a lot of the cost of operating the shuttle is ongoing. You can't save much money by scratching a launch. And a rocket can launch in any direction, while a gun would have a fixed azimuth.
Then there is this idea that you could build a kind of linear accelerator by firing a stream of pellets in the direction of (say) Saturn. Your vehicle can be a toroid which rides the pellet stream, pushing them backwards.
My tram ride to work takes 40 minutes. Honestly, what am I going to do with that time? I have a eeepc 701 loaded with ubuntu. On the tram I write code. It makes the commute bearable for me,
Oh; but the poor baby wants it both ways: He wants google to index his stuff, and pay him for the privilege of indexing his stuff.
If this involved google ignoring robot.txt or something, and crawling him without his permission, I'd be rather more sympathetic. As it is, though, these guys haven't asked for that, because they know that it is valuable to them; but are still whining about how oppressed they are. Fuck 'em.

I suspect it is his personal assistant's direct email account. I don't think Rupert listens to James anyway, otherwise he wouldn't be diluting his older kids precious inheritance by spreading he genes around.
It is easy to mess with the internals of a brain by pulsing lights at the right frequency. 8 to 12 Hz is a key danger area. And guess what frequency bicycle tail lights flash at? Pulsing light sources are well known to cause seizures.
Ask yourself why nobody yet chooses to live in Antarctica. Its cheaper than going to Mars, safer and more comfortable. But nobody has started a colony. Until that happens I doubt that real colonists will want to move to the planets.

It depresses me.

The fundamental design flaw they all have is that servers represent space in the game, it's a flawed assumption about the best model to use.
I'll bite, what's the best model to use?
P2P.

$500 million US dollars is about the cost of one Shuttle launch.
Who besides me wants to forget the space thing and launch those projectiles against ground targets?
It goes so fast you would have to do a complete orbit to fire over the horizon. Don't shoot yourself in the back of the head.
Not only is it the loudest gun in existence, it is in fact the loudest noise anywhere at all.
O
The Mossad, uhh, "got" the guy who built the Iraqi super gun.
Ah thats good to know. I wonder if they can give me his email address....
I believe that there are laser and GPS guided artillery shells which have terminal guidance.
Then there is this idea that you could build a kind of linear accelerator by firing a stream of pellets in the direction of (say) Saturn. Your vehicle can be a toroid which rides the pellet stream, pushing them backwards.
And don't overestimate the sensitivity of some electronics packages -- gun-fired projectiles with electronic fuses are a decades-old technology.
And the newer ones are laser guided, I believe. So it has en entire guidance system in the projectile.
Dont get me wrong. The code I work on in my private time is my own. Come to think of it... a lot of the stuff I do at work is my own...
I have done a bit of that but I find coding to be much more compelling.
Yeah the article is a bit of a troll, particularly around here.

Who?
Yeah but people aren't saying gee I'd love to colonise Antarctica but its forbidden by this treaty.
Except there are many science reasearch stations in Antarctica. How would a space station be any different?

They are exactly like space stations. But they are not colonies, with farmers, children, etc.
