Kukulski apologized for the negative impact the issue has generated from news organizations and blogs around the world.' I didn't have any doubt this would be immediately squashed. Now I'm just curious as to how many personal accounts they actually went through!"
Certainly, no one can mistakenly attribute that thought to Kukulski instead of the submitter!
A simple "mcmoodle further contributes:...." would be too much effort though.
I suppose if your qualifying view that any successful mission must be "manned", then you're going to have a dimmed outlook on NASA's progress. To be blunt, perhaps you should check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NASA_missions (I'm going to regret linking to wikipedia...) for a refresher on the many successful unmanned missions NASA has run to the red planet and beyond, and also their invaluable work studying our own planet including their research on climate change. Sure, sticking a human onto a rocket is sexy but does it produce meaningful scientific results? The ISS alone draws approximately 50% of NASA's budget but its scientific contribution is negligible.
That was funny! And I didn't mean that sarcastically. But just in case your distilled point was meant to be taken seriously, I must inform you that the above was written as an interesting exercise in "what if?" rather than something that the GP thought would plausibly be taken advantage of.
Considering the recent stories about Apple disallowing certain apps on the store, I have a funny feeling Shadow Warrior would not be approved as well.:)
George Broussard, producer/designer of Duke 1/2 and supposedly involved in DNF, was in my guild in Everquest way back in 1999/2000. He was a nice guy. Played under the name "Hack Nukem"
He used to play every day / every hour. I wonder if an addiction to MMOs contributed to that:)
Unless I'm missing a video posted elsewhere, the video in the article is not that of the Alpha-680 as the summary implies. You can clearly see the Intel logo during boot.
I love the Simpsons, I never miss the Daily Show, Spinal Tap is the best movie ever, etc, etc. But I have to agree with the GP that Colbert is irritating and unfunny.
I guess that makes me a humorless twat because I don't share the same taste in comedians that you do. Sweet.
I agree with you completely. I hope you get modded higher. Virtually all the stories he posts contain nothing but a single link to a forum where the issue is described anecdotally.
At the time of my posting the parent was modded +3 Informative. Clearly, there is not an ounce of humor left in any of the mod's rickety calcium deprived bones.
This is the second time I've seen an advertisement for nerdkits on the/. front page. The fact is, you can't build any of their submissions unless you shell out $80 or so (I'd double check, but don't want to send them the traffic again) for their 'starter' kit with the necessary components. The videos simply show you how to make certain things above and beyond the projects initially included with their kit.
Do you read the/. comments often? Freetards are everywhere! I use Linux daily as well -- I just can't stand the blind evangelism certain outspoken members of the community exhibit. Most FS users are well mannered individuals in real life. The Internet brings out the jerks who can't tolerate a viewpoint other than their own.
And what is she going to come away with? A newfound appreciate for Free Software? Or the rants and raves of a bunch of freetard lunatics. I wouldn't bet on the former.
Oh yeah this is/., I need to mention that I am writing this post from a FreeBSD desktop otherwise I have no 'cred'...

Just a quick follow up, my point is that NASA IS doing a lot of great work, it's just not highly publicized because it's "boring" science.

Can you tether a phone with a data plan (similar to how I can on my laptop) to the tablet and get full internet access?

Because as we all know, personal anecdotes are indicative of the industry as a whole.

I'm interested too corporate spammer. A "TFA" reference makes you legit it does not. My apologizes for the lame Yoda reference.
How come Intel had to pay for their [banner] ad and Paragon didn't?
Criticizing someone's grammar on the Internet. That's hilarious.

Touche. I hadn't thought about that.

It's common on /. for people not to RTFA, but you couldn't even be bothered to look at the posted picture! The cats are clearly leashed.

In other news, the local Amoco that carries a large selection of tech rags just laid off 40% of their workforce, or 2 employees.
Why does reading /. always give me The Register deja vu?

Ever read the (now defunct) Linux Hater's Blog? http://linuxhaters.blogspot.com/ It's great.
Also, I hardly see how the one sentence in my original post is "rambling"

Oh yeah this is
All in all he demonstrates what a little honest communication can do, a lesson that all of us who advocate for free software can take to heart.
Quite a few of us were advocating this. But it got drowned out in all the melodramatic and knee-jerk responses.
