ANSWER#1: America is tired of sending all those Apollo Astronauts to the Moon, only to have them crash and burn, and litter the surface with lunar modules and body parts! It's time NASA did this SAFELY! Kapeesh?
Dissatisfied with #1? OK....
ANSWER#2: NASA knows, with the whole world watching, they cannot pull off one of those Hollywood sound-stage stunts anymore! This time, they really have to go to the Moon! Besides, it's only a matter of time before one of those 210,000 NASA engineers and scientists (or their sleazy apologist Phil Platt ) breaks their silence and confesses to the whole Apollo charade!
THIS time, NASA has to get it right, and do it right! Once John McCain is president, he certainly won't stand for any of their shenanigans! Like G.W.Bush, he's been tested in battle! ... Tune in tomorrow: How the WTC was knocked down by by the Mossad and the FreeMasons!
GREAT! I'll tell my my mom! She just lost a.doc letter she was writing to Aunt Gertrude in Peoria!
Mind you, it WAS in Windows' "My documents" folder, but I'll tell her next time to convert it to Linux, and use bash scripting and of course "grep"! She will be thrilled!
Thanx! Especially from a grateful Mom and Aunt Gertrude! ..
'nuff said on the above topic; why would any American wanna become an MOR engineer/mathematician, when TV has taught them that "America's greatest quarterback/dancer/singer/comedian/etc" is the way to go?
Hey- TV doesn't lie to us, does it?
Meanwhile such shows are also being played in China and Japan and India.
The interesting thing is, the performers (trained monkeys) are American.
This is what we expect of America.
Tomorrow morning, we will feel refreshed and go back to work to improve that auto engine, or rocket, or LCD television.
But we love those American trained monkeys! Such fun!
And those monkeys seem to enjoy it also. So what's the problem? .
Golly, can someone tell me what "C" is? Any good articles on it?
From postings here, I understand it is NOT the offspring of some large monopolistic evil empire like M$, thank goodness!
Please re-assure me.
And while we're at it, lets have a few words on "B"....
Years ago, I was the techie for a small ancillary "health" department of McGill U.
I had just recommended and easily converted us to a new system: "Microsoft Mail" - at that point it was only DOS, and was just acquired by Gates and co. from a small Vancouver firm.
Meanwhile big brother, McGill's I.S. dept were using the wonderful Pegasus email system (free and from New Zealand)
Admittedly, Pegasus was a pretty good system, if you are a small set of users, but I could see that MS obviously meant business, and that Email would grow.
As I did not have a PhD or an MBA, and lacked sufficient pretentiousness, no one listened to me.
Not sure what McGill is using these days... Hey maybe they're still using Pegasus! LOL!
Or worse: Lotus-Notes, but really IBM "Notes" (UGH! Double LOL!)
But anyhow, thankfully I'm past all that crap now-
Oops! I forgot! This is an M$-bashing site! Me bad!
Wel, of course every sensible person acknowledges that the "6000 yr old" Earth is a tad outdated.
Why, this scientific estimate was made almost 400 YEARS AGO!
Bishop Usher, for all his great knowledge, did not have our modern scientific tools for such precise measurements.
Today's scientists now have revised this estimate, and consider the Earth to have been actually created in 7730BC.
And on January 23rd. (And alas, it was a Thursday, we believe - Pope Gregory corrupted the days of the week).
So called "evolutionists" are ALWAYS quoting this "6000 year old" red herring, hoping to discredit our creationist science. But it will not work!
Darwin, Hawkins et al will burn in Hell! (perhaps Darwin is already there, now that Limbo has been abolished - good riddance!)
Please-
Try to use this new revised figure - 7730 BC.
You may use "BCC" or "BCE" - we shall tolerate it. .
Perhaps some dancing light that light you up on the dance floor the more you dance, the brighter you get
LAP-DANCING!
Much of this "dance" involves a so-called external power source, leaving you free to discharge your "capacitors".
You could probably compare it to the bees' dance for communication as to where the "sugar-substance" is.
Come to think of it, perhaps/. has an intrinsic source of power that could be harnessed in this fashion.
'Tho, true lap-dancing might generate more pleasing power to the average/. user.
As long as it does not involve eels. .
I wanna see the the replies to Jason's Grandpa! (above)
Who knows- maybe the ol' coot can generate several amps from his rectal discharges.
Don't be so quick to mod some of these gems as trolls!
I do believe Michael Faraday started out like this, and the snotty Sir Humphrey Davy modded HIM as a troll!
And please- no youtube videos of eels being sobmitted to anatomical indignities. I've seen 'em all!
Spamming US citizens?
Migod! They must be either furriners like that crazy Ahmadweebijab or Kims-Dong Ill, or possibly even traitors like Alec Baldwin!
Where's TEAM USA when you need them? Cleaning up other rampant muck runners?
Well, I hope you ordered the "tri" cycles, and not that cheap bi-cycle stuff.
Not many people realize that the third wheel on the tricycle is a parity wheel, and will detect any spoke errors.
And above all, stay away from those cheap unicycles being gray-marketed to newbies. They make no sense in the digital world! .
Screw all this orbital crap!
I'm too old and it would make me seasick!
I just want my flying car, the one that Popular Mechanics promised me back in 1968!
And I think Popular Science also said I'd be able to buy one by 1985 or so!
I'm STILL waiting, guys!
Don't worry about the power- I'll supply it with my portable Tokomak that they also promised me by 1995... .
Golly, once we have enough Hydrogen to power our cars, and have solved both the worrisome global energy crisis, and that nasty global warming, then:
We can use all our excess HYDROGEN to power our big rockets, that go "Vrooom Vroom" into outer-space!
They will carry these wonderful carbon "nanotubes", that will be, of course, made from all that excess carbon that we have not "sequestered"!
Toyota and Honda will lead the way!
Hey, I KNEW those Atomic Physics courses I took way back in University would come in handy!
Who needs to compress time, when all you hafta do is compress the video.
If I took a video of my cat, and then compressed it with this new codec, would the cat be...
Umm.. never mind...! . .
It's worse than just the H20...
Even Gasoline produces H20. That's the "smoke" you see coming out of the tailpipe.
Think about it: WHERE do they get the Hydrogen?
From a Hydrogen well?
No... they have to make it! And this takes a helluva lot of energy!
And still lots more energy to cool it to a gazilllion degrees below zero, and then compress it into a HEAVY tank.
It's a lot more efficient to just use a BATTERY, instead of this trendy hydrogen crap...
Helllooo! Ever heard of a battery?

Less than a minute of bash scripting!

Alas, it's worse than you assumed: I am an Ironic Maniac (or perhaps a Manic Ironyman... Mwa-ha-ha-ha!)
Sometimes I run through the streets with a hot Branding Irony, marking miscreant posters with a scarlet letter.
No ones dies. And no websites are shut down. But they do gain new respect for irony!
I say we HANG this "Mafiaboy"!
It's the only proper thing to do- his life is fucked anyhow- at least in the USA, where they still occasionally hang children.
So the kid was 15? NO EXCUSE!
If he cannot be hanged in Canada, then a special posse of /.ers, US marines and Texas Rangers should sneak into Canada and "extradite" him.
The li'l punk will be given short shrift in the glorious LAND OF THE FREE, I promise you!
It's the American way! The ONLY way!
NZ..!
And you do not use Pegasus!

Ibm has had Linux running on mainframes under ZVM9000 (or whatever TF they call it now) for the last ten years.
Just go out and buy yourself a mainframe!
