    nope, that was a 8/16/32! basically 68000 with 8 bit data bus externally. sinclair QL used it

    idiot, there is no chicken meat that is 20% feces. on the other hand, it is impossible to gut and clean a chicken without parts per million feces. you write like clueless vegetarian (a redundancy)

    Costs for the things on Mars I discussed are nothing considering the weight of either amount of radiation shielding needed on mars, or the equipment to bore out shielded area. There is no such rush to make short-sighted and dangerous plans.

    The 68EC000 was a hybrid 8/16 bit design, while the 68000 was 16 bit bus and instructions but 32 bit registers.

    Easy for most of us, I discovered recently I even retain the muscle memory for rotary phones too; but the story poster must be an idiot-savant who somehow has the gift of remapping keys.

    Spin space station or ship to have 1G field, problem solved.

  10. Re:The best solution is.... on Vision Problems For Some Returning Astronauts · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We can have the astronauts in a 1G field for most of the trip, extend a boom with counterbalance and spin the ship with large radius. We can send fuel for return trip by automated ship very quickly, at much less cost than sending humans. The astronauts can spend some dual-pod centrifuge time in pairs on mars doing exercises, so they can have strength to be back in earth's 1G field. Such a centrifuge could be made to fold very compactly, using mostly two astronauts weight to counterbalance each other, and a sliding part to equalize any difference in their weights.

    Some people in south america eat the shit of animals that feed on certain kind of berries, but come on, we don't have to take every secretion that comes out of an animal and put it in our mouths just because it has protein, fats and carbs in it. You could give a horse a blowjob to completion too and get that.

    of course, breast don't fully mature nor give milk until later terms of pregnancy. Tell you want, I'll handle the tedious and boring initiating breast maturation part at no expense (if they're nubile and beautiful) and you can do the milk production end of things

    You have things exactly backwards. I don't know where you saw such lazy, filthy unprofessional dairy farmers, but I can assure you the norm is for family operations to want the highest ratings in inspections of farm, cows, and testing of milk. I have relatives and friends who are dairy farmers and they run a very clean tight ship and take supreme care of their animals. It is normally the huge corporate farms with underpaid help who have the problems because executives in a building in a city far away don't know farming and don't give a crap. Don't even get me started on massive chicken or hog farms (again, many friends and relatives in the business)....let's just say you definitely would want the small farm product rather than corporate swill.

    actually, it's that attitude among heterosexual men, being excited about seeing "pretty" young woman doing something, (in the beholder's eyes) that keeps the human race from ceasing to exist. Take your unnatural viewpoint and go to a planet where primate reproduce asexually, and get neutered too. This part of definition of "sexism" that includes normal male behavior and reaction, instead of the wrong acts of abuse and oppression, is nonsense made up by lesbian man-hating feminists decades ago. I can make a list of those stupid man-hating bitches if anyone wants to argue.

    Nope. Cell phones might interfere with devices or government security in some jobs, but that only means I would agree to not exercise my normal *right* to have one in such jobs if I held a job in say a hospital or military installation. But not at a "normal" business. So I reject your notion that in general some piece of shit HR choad can tell me my carrying cell phones at all times is a privilege. If they think they're man enough or butch enough they can try to take it from me and see where that lands them.
