    I'd make arguments for it being more environmentally friendly. No materials to work, and nothing to ship.

    PKI can fix that for you... allowing the message to be open, but incapable of being spoofed.

    Why is it that so many people like you are aware of this but are not doing anything about it?

    I only speak for myself, but we don't have the energy (maybe just mental energy) for it?

    Logic, Reason, and Fact have come together for an intervention. They'd like you all to stop anthropomorphizing them.

    Which shouldn't factor in, since you're supposed to be paying that sales tax yourself if they don't collect it.

    I'm educated and I can't read either of those things either.

    Being educated and being able to decipher archaic glyphs have nothing to do with each other, unless one is educated in a field relating to such.;

    OCR support as well - if you mandate a certain font or set of fonts, you can tune your OCR systems for archival to handle them well.

    If you had to accept everything from Courier to Windings then it's going to have to be loosely set, which might cause transcription errors.

    Dejavu sans (or serif, if printed) or get of my damn lawn.

    Times (and helvetica etc) are so damn ugly.

    Conversely, I hate the way the previous generation was built, and the PS4 and One look much better, IMO.

    I don't think that's it - have a look at this photo. You can see the same kind of assembly between the two cupola shields, should be obvious what I'm speaking of. Looks like a brass/gold trefoil with a rod sticking out of the center, with what looks like a black and yellow target nearby. Down and right from the visible crewmember.

  18. Re:Won't they hit the ISS on a future orbit? on ISS Astronauts Fire-Up Awesome 'Cubesat Cannon' · · Score: 3, Informative

    Unlikely. The synodic period would be on the order of decades I believe, and it would only be the one intersection point - the other near-approach wouldn't intersect.

    So, every synodic period they would have a close approach, and it would have to happen at just the wrong spot.

    Yes, people with implanted electronic hardware exist. Remember when that was a dream?

    That's going to require either a few breakthroughs on ultra-low-current ICs, breakthroughs in energy storage (you know the batteries we already have can explode/violently-burn?) or devices with huge battery packs...

    Do you know what that antenna-looking thing on the back of the module is? Looks like a metal pole with three scimitar antennas around it, and some kind of marker nearby.

    I saw one of those on a photo of the cupola exterior as well.
