was in the men's room drying my hands and I asked my Republican congressman that question while he was taking a dump in the stall, he said "well we can't have hydrogen fusing with hydrogen like a buncha goddamn faggots, now can we?". Then a young man sat down in the stall next to him and he started to tap his foot.
haha, what industry is that company in, we deal with government (city, county, state) and there is mountains of required paperwork, electronic version is NOT an option. bet the contracts your company signs are on paper
ignore the small effect / tidal forces??!! that's the whole point, they're there and that's why a person *can* distinguish being on planet earth (g field from a nearly-pointlike center of mass, radial vectors) from being in an elevator (g field of perpendicular vectors) at 1g, and why there is distinguishing being weightless and being in microgravity!
and GNOME has become the bloated pig just like Microsoft wares, I'd get rid of him for that reason. I changed over to KDE because now it is the best of the two for my limited memory older machines.
that would be true in a uniform gravitational field, but around a planet there's a gradient to the acceleration due to gravity and thus a net small acceleration on object (we're back to microgravity)
and they're at almost 1 g, force of gravity is just about as strong where the ISS is as it is on the surface of the earth. they're just falling around the earth is all.
sounds like the Diamond Age, pipes of common elements to molecular assemblers in each house. You know the current batch of patent and other IP laws will have to be scrapped before any of that is allowed
that movie isn't too big, images don't change much frame to frame so there's high compression. But the chair flinging has rapidly changing background while tracking chairs, so that movie is huge.
I'm not trusting any newfangled self-powered tin can that isn't pulled by a beast with a brain, any horseless or muleless carriage is a danger and let's stuff that kind of nonsense talk immediately!
oh, you want to talk seriously about my wise-ass joking. In that case there can be the classic replication danger, that there's newly corrupted data that gets copied to the other disk. Sure, can have multiple incremental backup sets on that other disk so there's hope of going back to good version just as with stack of tapes, but that's getting hairy for the average home user. If storage gets cheap enough, maybe ISPs could just offer encrypted backup storage and async replication with point in time recoveries.
actually, no, we're going to change to "look at the colossal amount of largely useless unimportant data those schmucks will lose; look at the colossal amount of data they'll have no means to back up within the budget of the home user, hahahaha!"
I trust this will make you feel much better.
how dare you, a big mac is not flavorless mush! Within seconds of packing, it takes on the flavor of its honest-to-gawd 'merican McD's box! you're probably some foreign weirdo that uses stinky spices other than proper salt and pepper on their "food".
but it does make a problem when talking to younger generations. Like if I try to talk about the Grinch cartoon to my daughter, she'll be thinking of a manic-depressive on LSD in a costume with cgi effects. This hurts.

sorry but the ISS is gyrodine stabilized to keep desired rather than natural orientation

ah, just in time for the Year of the Linux desktop, you mean. I look forward to using them in the Paperless Office we'll all have.

I've never been to a pay porn site either, what with the internet being a free porn spigot and all

of course, they're actually 50+ year old Republican congressmen.
once every million years is nothing like a lab cranking out dozens of naturally impossible mixtures a month.
that and a few other applications make me wonder if e-paper is really better:
can I wipe my ass with it?
can I wrap fish with it?
can I spank the puppy with it?
will the puppy poop on it?
can I roll a doobie with it?
until these technical obstacles are overcome I think we should hold off adoption.

no, it's fucking funny. the dullness is between your ears, just as with the mods.

not to mention expensive wide-angle optics needed to get all his potbelly in the frame
and some of us would do just fine with a 8gb storage device in our laptops.
in 50 to 100 years we'll just teleport around, flying is for the birds
