Am I the only one that thinks a nautical settlement is less likely for the future than space settlements? If I had to guess, the circumstances that would drive us to inhabit a new frontier would likely make the seas uninhabitable as well.
The report also estimated it would take as long as five years and cost $5 million to $11 million to recover the bomb.
Can anyone explain why the retrieval process would take so long if the bomb is supposedly "likely harmless"? I'm honestly baffled at this, and if we do not expend the money to retrieve it, are there any international accords in place to make sure our enemies do not retrieve/ reverse engineer it?
Excellent. Thanks a lot! No, my hardware is not obscure at all - SB Live 5.1, GeForce4 Ti4200, Linksys NIC, etc. I should think I will be fine, and if for some reason something wouldnt work, then I guess I could always reformat again. Thanks for the tip, and if you have any recommended sites to check out, please reply to this or email them to me at steveBIGMAChenderson@gmFRIESail.com_minusMCDONALDS
You don't necessarily have to support your "local" garage band, but rather support bands that are not on the radio (I recommend any band on the Militia Group record label). Do what you have to do to get their CDs sold, tours sold out, etc and when they hit it big, find a new band that wants your support. It's a much more gratifying cycle.
Wow, that is very interesting. I'd have to say with that sort of timeline/ budget, we will never see this happen in the forseeable future. At least until an engineer is president?:)
You make some excellent points, but I think that the global climate during the events you refer to is different than it is now. Now, people view NASA and space exploration with jaded cynicism, rather than with a sense of wonder. As sad as it is, people would much rather worry about the price of gas at the pump than interplanetary exploration. I think that given the world we live in now, increased space program funding would be viewed as a waste of money rather than good PR.
I think if people are going to get excited about space again, it will take a successful completion of X-prize trials, but then privatization might be encouraged.
Great sales does not mean everyone was happy with it. As for me, I used to buy Square games right away. Now, I might pay more attention to reviews or *gasp* rent the game!
There was a detail left out of the submission. The FA reads:
Asked how long it could be before astronauts land on Mars, Arthur Thompson, mission manager for MER surface operations, told Reuters in an interview in Lima, "My best guess is 20 to 30 years, if that becomes our primary priority."
If it is primary priority. Which I doubt it will be. And depending on who is our next president might affect how much funding NASA gets.
I agree with you on everything but the FFX2 comment. I love Square games, but hated FFX2. Sure, I smiled a few times, but there were far more times that I shook my head in disbelief at the sheer cheesiness of the story.
In the end, I think I was just upset at the case of squandered potential. Were it called anything but an FF title, I think my disappointment might have been milder.

Unfortunately, the government would likely hire "Bubba" but just pay the bill as though they were going through all of your steps...

Not really sure - I think in my shell/profile it is set up as a shortcut...im not a huge unix guy though...

Dude, tangible tickets are so 2003. :)
In this case, then, it also makes selling tickets legally for face value or below impossible then too.
Wow, hope I don't have to hang up on my agent to talk to those icky ticket collectors...

And apparently in this parallel universe I work for NASA too...

True, but it is failures like the Genesis crash that stick in the public's mind and make people cry out to cut NASA funding.
I mean the game sucked. Sales were great, yup, but it shook my faith in the "invincible" Square.

And, I think the chick's name was Lucretia? Been so long since I played that game...
I wonder if maybe the lumped ad means a demo will be released with the DVD...
