This is truly a great achievement, and congratulation to the winning team.
That being said, I keep hearing and seeing people remark about how this somehow embarasses NASA or proves the "wonders of the private sector". I feel that the people making these comments (including the submitter/editor of this story) fail to realize that, without NASA's taxpayer funded contribution over the span of its existence, what they did this morning would not have been possible at this point. The private sector was able to accomplish this on such a budget because of innovations by NASA that brought this technology out in the first place.
How funny that a nation of criminals cares about pornography.
Not only is filtering pornography an exercise in futility, their proposals would charge people for this ineffective service, as well as put many small ISPs out of business. Of course, they don't care as "30 are enough". Nevermind the entrepreneurs and their families harmed by this. We must protect the children!!!
You're wrong. It's their property. They can tell people what is acceptable behavior and what is not acceptable behavior. As long as a student is on their property, they must abide by their code of conduct.
Again, while the radio waves may be unregulated and under FCC jurisdiction, the action of setting up a wireless AP can be restricted.
Get over your geeky selves and realize your right to use a radio spectrum doesn't trump a property owner's right to tell you what to do while on their property.
Just because smoking is legal doesn't mean you can't be prevented from doing so on someone's property. There's no violation of your rights if they do so.
The college has a perfect right to restrict the use of those devices on their property. Perhaps the submitter/editor doesn't understand that you can tell people what to do on your property. You don't have a fundamental right to install a Wifi router wherever you see fit.
It's the same thing as when CNN Headline News runs a story about AOL, they say "Headline News is a subsidiary of AOL/Timewarner".
It's just to alleviate accusations of conflict of interest and be open about the fact that the story they're running is by a company they're related to.
Then we have Sherman Austin under the Patriot Act.

With the Patriot Act, there is the distinct possibility of people being silenced and no one ever knowing.
The point is not how many are being silenced now, but how many can and probably will be in the future.
First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. Pastor Martin Niemöller
I'm sick and tired of the continued assault on the public's right to fair use. It started with requiring the CD to play the game, and has progressed into preventing someone who purchased the game from even making a back-up copy of the software they purchased a license for.
What do we do when our CD's are scratched beyond repair, or worse yet, stolen? Go out and pay another $50?
When will our politicians stop looking out for the greedy few over the rights of the masses?
He's referring to the cost benefits of implementing file-sharing technologies in other realms besides illegal movie and music swapping, and how the entertainment industry is trying to squash a technology that has many more benefits to us than the ability to get free pr0n.
Because Shrek is generally accepted as a funny, quality movie packed into a tight 90 minute package. If you don't like the movie, it's a matter of poor taste, not poor production.
Episodes I and II, OTOH, are generally accepted as sub-par films in general, and horrible additions to the Star Wars franchise. In this case, it's perfectly understandable that someone would consider it to be the worst movie ever, even if they were wrong.
Anyone with a brain knows that Shrek is anything but a horrible movie. While it may not be an epic, it does exactly what it's supposed to do: make you laugh.
Why is Seagate bothing anyway? It's not like they have any real leg-up on WD anyway. Everyone knows Seagate is WD's and Maxtor's bitch anyway. It's highly unlikely that a Seagate employee would know more about hard drives than WD.

Ken Jennings gets an endorsement deal with either FedEx or H&R Block. It's the American way!
Sheesh.
but will they be slant eyes?
I never sit on my couch without it.

It was a joke based on a stereotype.
And fuck the person who modded my post as flamebait. You can suck my giant cock. That was a good comment.

If you're going to mod the parent down, mod the grandparent down too. This post is perfectly on topic with the grandparent.
If you keep reading towards the bottom, it brings up issues about McCain's involvement in a Savings and Loan scandal in the 80's.
If that's off-topic from the grandparent, then you've obviously wasted the brains you were given.
That's pretty retarded, seeing as you'll only ever have to have a CD Key for a Steam game one time: When you install it.
You do realize once you've linked CD Keys to your account, all you need is the login and pw, right?

You're half correct. He was pursued by the FBI under the Patriot Act, but charged under the Anti-Terror law of Diane Feinstein.

The example of Galileo was meant to show people being silenced throughout history, and he was indeed silenced by the church.

Get your shit straight.
We can start with Galileo.

Why mod anyone down for that comment?

The parent post is an obvious troll.
Mod parent up.
/. history that a post about this movie is NOT off topic.
This is the first time in
Some moderators.
Mod parent down as troll.

Methinks this was the point of his post.

Not only is your post redundant, it's wrong.
RSX=American Acura name for Honda Integra in Japan.
It's still called an Integra there.
You're a moron.
This story contains articles about TWO different attempts from TWO different teams.
The video is of the second one. The Armadillo Team.
The other one exploded in mid air.
Why don't YOU try reading?
OH SHIT!
TOU FUCKING CHE!
That's a three pointer for you.
