Because it's not in the summary and buried at the bottom of the article:
The orbital path of J1930-1852 spans about 52 million kilometers, roughly the distance between Mercury and the Sun and it orbits its companion once every 45 days.
Your problematic nostalgia is triggering me, harasses women, someone think of the children, contribute to my Patreon.
More seriously, the decline to shit here coincides with Slashdot Beta and the rise of Reddit. Of course, that place has spiraled into a corrupt cesspool of censorship and social manipulation.
Unless you're referring to garish shirts worn by scientists or - the horror - people who hold politically correct views, or may even disagree with you.
Aside from the whole organic-3D-printing-of-entire-humans angle, this isn't a new idea. Arthur C. Clarke's The Songs of Distant Earth features an extraterrestrial colony of humans descended from machine-grown progenitors.
While Sacramento's metropolitan area is certainly bigger, the city of Fresno now has a greater population. Silly point though, as pretty much all of the Central Valley is frequently shit upon by the rest of the state.
I wonder if the abuse would be mitigated if the software were released publicly while under the open source license. Evade taxes, taxpayers get access to your product.
Unreal is used for FPSes, as well as 2.5d side scrollers like unmechanical. People were building flight sims with the Quake 1 engine (Airquake). Simply having a 3D engine doesn't shoehorn you in to a particular style of play.
I have a pair of 22" monitors mounted in a vertical configuration using the DS-100 Vertical. It's a bit pricey (I did get it on sale at NewEgg), but it's ridiculously strong and sturdy. You can just install one of the monitor brackets at the top of the pole and have plenty of room for a laptop below. As an alternative, you can try their cheaper single monitor arms.
You're assuming that the drones will never be autonomous in a situation that requires low latency. While a human pilot may have better ingenuity and unpredictability in a dogfight, he cannot physically react faster than a computer. Connect that computer to the right sensors, and you'll have a system ready to fly an airframe capable of doing turns that will turn any human pilot into red jelly.
The perceived threat of an emergent-hard-bootstrapping-self-aware-full-on-singularity-in-a-lunch-box intelligence stems as much from from its supposed intelligence and influence as it does from the fact that its motives are inscrutable. We just don't know yet what it would "want", beyond the assumed need for reproduction or self-preservation. That assumption itself may be wrong as well...
Agreed - the most damage could be done physically if a hostile entity were to gain control of widely-deployed and/or destructive autonomous systems. But such destruction would be limited without pervasiveness. Barring some sort of AI-instigated WMD attack, it would require physically self-replicating machines (Grey goo? Rampant 3D printers?) or a massive infrastructure in place for that AI to take advantage of.
One such infrastructure is the Internet itself. If such a hypothetical AI were savvy, it could create a large measure of influence over social networks through impersonation and massed artificial identities. Were it clever enough, it could mask its own incursions into physical space - effectively remaining undetected while vulnerable to human interdiction.
This is all assuming we could comprehend the motives of such an entity...
Somewhere in San Joaqin Valley. Started right after the polls opened (0700 PST), there was practically no wait...though I imagine it's going to get much busier after business hours. Decent age cross-section, too.
The B-52 has indeed been used to drop many rocket-propelled aircraft, unmanned rockets and missiles from external pylons - including the X-15 and prototypes of the Pegasus rocket. When compared to civilian aircraft, it's quite expensive to maintain and operate at about $72,000 per flight hour. It might not seem like much compared to the cost of the launches themselves, but these carrier aircraft are flown often for testing/certification purposes. Those recurring costs coupled with the fact that these airframes are decades old mean that it's probably less expensive in the long run to go with a different air launch platform.
Regardless of how they started the fire, they should at least be liable for the taxpayer cost of containing and fighting the fire. That's the law in California and at least some other states with frequent wildfires.
Second, not to diminish your experience in any way, but what you're describing is a fairly well-understood psychological phenomenon. The problem with your argument is that the reaction you describe isn't limited to sexual abuse (or even actual abuse). A certain subset of the population reacts in this way because of bullying, physical abuse, serious financial losses, relationship breakups, and any number of other crises in their lives.
If someone lit your face on fire, don't worry. The damage and pain you feel is are well-understood physiological and neurological phenomena. People experience pain like this all the time, so your pain isn't all that special and you should really just buck the fuck up.
sexual abuse (or even actual abuse)
So Sexual abuse isn't actual abuse? Boy, better tell all those rape victims out there that they weren't assaulted.
Slashdot Mirror
Considering that there exist cheap ICs that handle analog video overlays that really only need a serial input...yes, your 8088 could at least render the overlay with less than $100 of extra hardware.
As for the video on CGA...I guess that's possible too.
...looks like something out of Kerbal Space Program.

In practice, it's typically 60-80 hours...depending on how much bilking^W practice your instructor thinks you need.
There are already laws governing harassment.

Part of that lag is the ridiculously long travel time of the left/right triggers.

Not just Quake. A little over a decade ago I worked on a vehicle-based total conversion for the original Unreal Tournament that centered on air combat.

The technology for the semi-autonomous fighters I described exists today, though politics and cost currently preclude the deployment of said systems.

Relevant - if facetious - commentary by Randall Munroe. Seriously though, I think a hostile hard AI would get away with much more damage as a software entity on the Internet than in physical space.

Here you go.
Case in point - the LOIC software stack.
In the case of games, the user is free to not play the game and thus not subject themselves to the developer's terms.
