It's not just the recording, it's the fleet of Ferraris and Porsches that are needed to cart the producers and execs to and from the studio. Remember, the quality of the recording is directly proportional to the value of the car that the producers drive. You want the best possible sound quality don't you?!?
Why can't they just "target" Mars? Once you are in space, you should be able to always "see" Mars. It's not like it's going to be daytime for 12 hours a day. Just get some targeting computers to lock onto Mars once you are in space, or even humans down at mission control, and start going in that direction. I'm sure there must be signatures that Mars has that could be used to distinguish it from other debris or bodies that might temporarily enter the field of view. As Mars moves out of the target line, you adjust in realtime. Once you get close to Mars you could switch to more precise calculations, but I don't really see the absolute need for predetermining the EXACT course the spaceship will take from Earth. Am I crazy?
When I think of a helpful software company I immediately think of Claria. They help millions of people to fuck up their computer and get useless shit shoved down their throats over and over and over again until it comes bursting forth from their split, bleeding rectums. God bless Claria.
Man: I came here for a good argument. Mr Vibrating: No you didn't, you came here for an argument. Man: Well, an argument's not the same as contradiction. Mr Vibrating: It can be. Man: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a definite proposition. Mr Vibrating: No it isn't. Man: Yes it is. It isn't just contradiction. Mr Vibrating: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position. Man: But it isn't just saying "No it isn't". Mr Vibrating: Yes it is. Man: No it isn't, an argument is an intellectual process... contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says. Mr Vibrating: No it isn't. Man: Yes it is. Mr Vibrating: Not at all. Man: Now look! Mr Vibrating:(pressing the bell on his desk) Thank you, good morning. Man: What? Mr Vibrating: That's it. Good morning. Man: But I was just getting interested. Mr Vibrating: Sorry the five minutes is up. Man: That was never five minutes just now! Mr Vibrating: I'm afraid it was. Man: No it wasn't. Mr Vibrating: I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to argue any more. Man: What!? Mr Vibrating: If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five minutes. Man: But that was never five minutes just now... oh come on! (Vibrating looks round as though man was not there) This is ridiculous. Mr Vibrating: I'm very sorry, but I told you I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid. Man: Oh. All right. (pays) There you are. Mr Vibrating: Thank you. Man: Well? Mr Vibrating: Well what? Man: That was never five minutes just now. Mr Vibrating: I told you I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid. Man: I've just paid. Mr Vibrating: No you didn't. Man: I did! I did! I did! Mr Vibrating: No you didn't. Man: Look I don't want to argue about that. Mr Vibrating: Well I'm very sorry but you didn't pay. Man: Aha! Well if I didn't pay, why are you arguing... got you! Mr Vibrating: No you haven't. Man: Yes I have... if you're arguing I must have paid. Mr Vibrating: Not necessarily. I could be arguing in my spare time. Man: I've had enough of this. Mr Vibrating: No you haven't.
Apple was so enamored with absolute pure, minimalist design that some designers may argue that ergonomics were compromised.
I'm sure the head of the iPod department will really give two shits about ergonomics when he goes for his daily swim in his pool filled with crisp $100 bills...

but doesn't.
many hams enjoy the challenge of low-power communications of 5W or less
;)
Well then they should love the challenge of trying to communicate with a higher "noise floor"

Windows, which is really a great OS
Uhhh....
Isn't this like, 15 years too late?

Touché
I teach an online course in this. Tuition is only $5000.
Flamebait. All's fair in love and war.
No national health care on Mars
They come with a rusty spoon for you to gouge your eyes out with. Clever, really...
It can't force you to walk anywhere
That's why they have a midget follow you around with a sharp pointy stick.
On other note, I always thought holodeck was used in ST when the writers ran out of space related ideas.
If that were the case then the holodeck should have shown up around 1968
Or how many Road Runners we could catch with this technology.
the small rocket for astronauts would be at least 10 times as safe as the shuttle, whose odds of disaster are estimated at roughly 1 in 100
Is it just me or does 1 in 100 seem pretty high?
I'd be more interested in more security than faster speeds. I could download so much more porn if my neighbors weren't stealing my bandwidth...
Hmm..depends on what kind of cookie
I think they all moved to the moon to live with the Amazon Women
That's just more ransom money in my pocket when I complete my sun-blocking machine...
I pretty much assume anything Sony does related to videogames is going to suck. They should really just stick to AV equipment...
