They had way more soldiers back then today, and payroll did not seem to be a problem. Maybe the Pentagon should go back to using whatever system they had back then.
that's what they said about guided missiles. It's the future, guns are obsolete because jets are so fast now, all air combat will be beyond visual range.
Remote control drones are fine when your adversaries are third-world terrorists hiding in a mud hut. Hell you don't even need any fighters, they have no air force; air superiority is yours by default. All you need is bombers and tankers.
But what happens when you fight a more advanced enemy? Drones are useless without radio, and radio is vulnerable to jamming or spoofing.
white cloud reflects a lot of sun's radiation back into space. Yes water vapor is a strong greenhouse gas, but we're talking about more efficient trapping of [heat that has been greatly reduced by higher albedo before it ever hit the ground]. Net effect is reduced overall heat.
Just go out on a cloudy summer day vs. a cloudless one and feel the effect.
with 1 stone... put lots of rockets up and build something cool like a Elysium space city, or maybe a space elevator. And solve global warming at the same time!
their #1 fear isn't the rocket blowing up and getting killed, it's not fear of blacking out from G-forces, it's not fear of getting shot down, it's the fear of screwing up.
Same as the #1 fear from TFA. (fear of writing buggy code / messing up)
The official Pilot's Prayer (as handed to us by Alan Shepard) is "Lord, please don't let me fuck up".
Not "Lord, please don't let me blow up" or "Please keep me safe"
encrypted or the credit card companies won't do business with you. (PCI compliant or something like that)
That leaves social security number and email address/password, but really, you should not use the same password for your Gmail account and Oily Pete's V1agra Online. As for social security, never give it out to anyone under any circumstances unless it's a bank (real one, not a Nigerian prince bank) and you're asking for a loan or opening a checking account.
Just drill that into the head of the IQ challenged members of society and we won't need yet another gov't agency trying to control what people do on the internet.
and the other >1% market share phone manufacturers should get together and release phones that lets the user easily download and install Firefox OS or Android (the free version) or Ubuntu Mobile or any other open source OS.
Apple and Samsung and Nokia will never do it since they do not want to end up making cheap commodity hardware with razor thin margins. But you have zero market share anyways... a small profit is better than none, right?
I still use Firefox over Chrome because it has a much better array of options and is more customizable than Chrome. Even though Chrome is faster, has better updates, can save to PDF, comes with popular plugins built in as opposed to having to download them separately, etc etc.
Firefox devs please get a clue. Apple and Google need to reduce options because they have to appeal to the clueless masses. You do not. You cannot go toe to toe with the big guys by trying to be exactly like them.
It's not forbidden in the U.S. by the national (federal) government. Some local (state) governments do forbid it to protect a class of people called "car dealers".
Why you ask? Same reason the British forbid Indians from making their own salt: to protect the profits of a certain group. It's not unique to the U.S., I'm sure it happens all over the world. Is it fair? No it isn't.
they're just aping what Apple is doing. Oh Apple is dominating mp3 players with the ipod? Let's make the Zune! Apple has their own Apple stores? Let's open our Microsoft stores! Apple has proprietary connectors? Let's make proprietary connectors!
That would be like saying to Mark Zuckerberg (after he retires from Facebook), "Why don't you go work for my friend Joe, he needs someone who knows PHP to fix his Magento ecommerce website".
Private charter pilots make not much more than minimum wage, hell even airline pilots aren't very good jobs these days unless you're like 50+ years old with lots of seniority and you started decades ago under union contract.
Having a javascript backend would allow you to create jaw-dropping UI such as cool sliding divs and flashing banners... on the server console! No more boring command line text.
Oh so does that mean its now acceptable to use there they're and their interchangeably? A great many people already do so, perhaps a majority on the interwebs.
Maybe people should of paid attention in elementary school. Or is their a new rule that says if it sounds alike, it's the same thing? Should of and should've sound alike!
It's paraphrase of Einstein who said something like that at various times in his life, but not those exact words.
Here's an exact quote from Einstein:
"It can scarcely be denied that the supreme goal of all theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate representation of a single datum of experience." - From "On the Method of Theoretical Physics", Oxford, June 10, 1933.
You wanna write free software, write free software. You wanna make money, write commercial software and sell it. Should be this simple... but I suppose some people who aren't good enough to do #2 still wanna make money, so they ride on the coattails of a popular free software and do crap like "dual licensing".

wear white.
Give me a PHP programmer and I can tell you he isn't worth anything
Zuckerberg is worth billions. PHP was mentioned by name several times in the Facebook movie.
When was the last time you heard Python/Perl/Ruby/C++ mentioned in a movie?
Venus is a lot closer to the sun.
Put Venus in the same orbit as Earth and see what the temperature is.
water != cloud

GF: I have to go study.
Mark Zuckerberg: You don't have to study.
GF: Why do you keep saying I don't have to study?
Mark Zuckerberg: Because you go to BU
Egypt was a better place back then, center of culture and learning in the world.
Now it's just shit.

Start -> Run -> cmd dropped you right into a DOS shell.
To do this in Win 8.1, you need to:
Start -> Metro -> ???

that way I can get all my work done while I sleep
a 3-hour tour
