Standardisation of grammar and spelling is only recently an attribute of English. Indeed, if one wishes to be clear and unambiguous, one should not use such an illogical language, such a language of overloaded words, as that confounded mishmash known as English.

False, your home cell phone or home computer or hobbyist robot can not function in a high radiation environment. It's called "ionizing radiation" for a reason, the charges produced when striking electronics makes gates flip, makes memory cells change state. In short, your home PC would go apeshit in a rad environment. Many here in Slashdot were wondering why Japan, the land of robotic technology, did not have devices to send into the areas around the failed reactors and the spent fuel pool of Unit 2 with cameras, and had to import machines from Germany and the U.S. Now you know the answer.
Why are you so fixated on U.S. capabilities, it only matters that mankind can put people into orbit, and the U.S. space program has a large number of useful missions in progress or soon to launch, and many as collaboration with other nations. Patriotism has no place in science.
some cancers can be cured with high success rate, others not though in the last fifty years rate of cure has gone up. You are saying there will be no more progress in the curing of various types of cancer?
you must be one of those people who think "space program" must mean astronauts in a tin can going somewhere near earth. NASA still has a number of amazing programs in progress and soon to be launched that will vastly increase our knowledge of the universe. Some of them are in concert with asian and european space programs, but patriotism in big scientific research is a disease that limits acquisition of knowledge.
oh silly me, I thought the primary benefit of the space program was scientific knowledge. but here everyone is talking about production and jobs, clearly my priorities are messed up.
"Roll out the rest", to all fail in a pile at the boundary of a high-rad field? Triple the price? haha, having done prototypes for manufacturing, I can assure you a military-grade hovering electronic sensor probe would indeed take millions of dollars to prototype. You remind me of the people who complain about the poor performance of Mars rover's computers and bandwidth of NASA's communication system for them, compared to their home pc and home internet connection.
of course a slashdot reader would think anything of the "molecular biology" type of sexual entertainment would involve high bandwidth and looking at a monitor. I could think of another way that involves another person.....
the spins of earth and mars should present no problem just as long as we remember to unwind the cable periodically, I see no big obstacles to your idea. We can save money by only unwinding the Mars end and giving the cable a big up and down shake to undue the earth end.
How very quaint, you must be old and thinking about that obsolete trial, warrant, probable cause nonsense. That's all out the window now, citizen. This is the New America, where the government can declare you a criminal or enemy or terrorist.
haha, what a hoot, since we now allow the government to unilaterally declare someone a criminal, and then harm and/or incarcerate and/or kill them without trial and without warrant.
Sure, there are mach ports, I had a NeXTStation back in the day. But HURD on the GNU/Mach specifically is another matter The current GNU mach hasn't any working non-x86 ports, the ppc one had some activity up to 2004 but was never usable. Someone had happy thoughts about an alpha port 2002 and before, but not much other than couple headers in the CVS area (just looked). So there's my specific example as a yodda observation, exists it does not
wasn't such a big deal back then, then most workgroup's traffic was very bursty, loading a few hundreds of kb documents or (in the case of a couple of my employers) CADD file of a couple megabytes from the server at "load" or "save" time...most of the time the network load was almost zero. A couple places I worked had Arcnet, 2.5 mbit/sec, and even that was ok because of the very sporadic and infrequent use of network by workstations for any file transfer.
that "easy portability" iine is of course nonsense, else HURD would run on something other than 32 bit wintel x86 pc, which of course it does not and can not. compare that to the dozens of architectures (more than just a cpu) that linux or bsd can run. Linux and BSD *are* portable.

This is an internet forum; I should therefore enjoy the liberty of using a joining word to continue other's sentences.
No, socialism is a national and patriotic thing.

Also not quite as bad as that curious predilection those in the UK have of ending a written sentence with a preposition.

something made of consumer grade electronics couldn't function in a radiation field, nor in extremes of temperature, humidity, etc.

I prefer an oilstone myself
plenty of shops on e-bay with high volume have 8 port 10/100 switches and the like for less than $10.

no problem, I still have adapters AUI to twisted pair and twisted pair to thin. they're still stocked by some stores.
in workplace I only find it annoying if I also don't get one
right on, my particular motherboard is two years old but also has IDE, parallel, and even a fucking floppy port though none of that hooked up.
serious servers and big iron have them for their management cards, as do routers. Had to get a usb to rs232 for my laptop for those reasons
