People live in large ships today which are much more of a machine and where there is decidedly less personal space, and, while on cruise, there is no chance for a change of scenery whatsoever.
People live in large blocks of flats today, and would anyone really prefer ugly, grey, and box-shaped over clean, high-tech, and pyramid-shaped?
You read someone's snail mail without permission - it is an action punishable by law. You read someone's electronic mail without permission - it should very much be punishable by law, because the punishable action of reading snail mail is not that you read a letter written on paper, but that you read information addressed to someone else than you.
And privacy is only as dead as anyone wants it to be. If you say, go ahead, here are my login and password, read my mail, fine. But you know what? Some politicians in Germany have argued in favour of the infamous law for mass data retention. They have done so on this exact argument, that "on the Internet, everybody gives away all private information anyway."
I totally agree. Pricing would also explain why so few Saturn V rockets are used for recreational purposes. However, it fails to explain why rusty spoons (for carving your heart out) are equally absent from the market.
That sentence of the last paragraph sums it up nicely. Technical detail was mostly absent, however, we are informed directly from the horse's mouth that "it simply flies". Thanks for clearing that one up. Not even a video for the visually fixated. Is there no better article on this?
To bring it further off-topic, the US will not stop caring about what happens in the Middle East as long as Israel exists. Not to speak out against Israel, just stating a fact.
It's not like they have some purely altruistic, over-arching mission statement that forbids them to have any kind of publicity, do they? First and foremost, they want to make and sell music. Unlike many other artists, they also happen to express strong views on politics and economics, but those expressions wouldn't matter much without any amount of publicity. The way they distributed and marketed "In Rainbows" was INTENDED as a strong statement (a publicity stunt, if you will) on the business model of the big labels, a proof that success in this business is possible without them. Even if they don't repeat this exact method of distribution with their next album(s), I'd be truly shocked to learn that they want to rebuild the bridge they have nuked in word and deed.
Then why not introduce a female quota in the gatekeepers? Let's see how that works out. It could be a way to decide this particular chicken-egg-problem. If the female-to-male ratio goes up by that measure, it could be because suppression was indeed significant; if the ratio stays the same, it could be because there really is no significant interest from females to begin with.
If you just introduce a quota for female professorships or whatever, the symptoms have been treated without treating the underlying cause or even finding out whether or not there is a (undesirable and amendable) cause such as sexism to begin with.
Well duh, a roller coaster is supposed to scare the living hell out of you. A geek might not be overly impressed by experiencing the effects of gravity and inertia (and might even carry a chess board with glued-on pieces), but knowing that thing runs on Windows 3.11! The horror!
As gas expands, it cools. Assuming the compressed gas has enough time to cool considerably before it's released again, couldn't this also be used like a reverse long-distance heating to save more energy during summer months?
We have Libraries of Congress for measuring data, furlongs and fortnights for distance and time, but mass was sorely lacking. Leave it to highly trained professionals to come up with a meaningful elephant analogy regarding weight!
Even if, and that's a big if, it's really a cosmic coincidence that the extra grease did not cause the change of mind, then every single one of those politicians is 100% guilty of dealing huge damage to their own image (that's their business) and that of politicians in general. Wait, not damage. Reinforcement.

Bullshit!

Thanks for the video; this is what the article should have been. It combined technical detail with moving video.
That's a little anticlimatic,

Couldn't you have put it as an analogy that does not involve "making out"? Something slashdotters can understand, like, a car analogy?
It was only a small step from NSF to NSFW.
that there was no XOR choice between mounting a monitor and mounting a friggin' laser cannon.

That was the joke, speeding past you in an internet-enabled Chrysler.
How about setting the thermostat in your house when you are 30 miles away?
Come on people! Dream big!
I'll let that stand on its own.
