The Web sucked in 1996 compared to today.
Now get off of my lawn.
Should have used it back in 1988 when it didn't exist. I was at NASA Langley then and all we had was telnet and ftp (and had to manually select ASCII or Binary mode).
If that was an astronaut up there this would be resolved in a minute, not a month.
...Astronaut samples the water, "Hmm, tastes pretty good...gack...gack..." Cue any number of "Martian Zombie" movies... Now do you see why we just send robots? Sure their programming sometimes goes bad and they start killing us, but don't EAT OUR BRAINS!
Primarily to keep track of nuclear waste & simulate explosions of nuclear munitions, but also for research into astronomy, energy, the human genome, and climate change
And determine the correct response to the question: "Does this dress make me look fat?"
[Though it may need more processing power for that.]
...about a guy name, say, Jack Thompson (purely fictional, of course). The goal would be to hunt down this character while he's going around trying to sue people and getting legislation passed. Higher points the sooner the character's dead, points off for each successful suit and/or bill passed.
expecting real change on a ship the size of the Federal Government in ten days is pretty unrealistic
I think I saw that movie, with an iceberg, violins and Leonardo DiCaprio not dying nearly soon enough (like 5 minutes into the film) - or something like that.
Except in this version, I think the Captain responsible has just managed to escape on his own life raft... The next reel should either be very exciting or very, very sad. I expect popcorn sales to sky-rocket.
Getting a program to run on all of them, and then to gain access to data and transform it all in a single virus would be a great piece of programming...
You obviously underestimate the power of VB script my friend.:-)
The problem is that Cox, COMCAST & others have been misleading customers into thinking that they must upgrade to all-digital service, or their TVs will go dark. That's just not true.
I've been told that the cable cos must keep broadcasting analog for at least three years after the digital change over. After that they can drop analog when the percentage of digital subscribers goes over a certain percentage (or analog goes lower - same thing).
In the some areas, the cable cos may never drop analog as several large customers may not be able to switch (like school districts) to digital for obvious cost reasons... [This I heard from a Cox rep in Virginia.]
but there is a difference between "including such protections" and "has such protections available in an add-on"
Great. Microsoft is bundling something else with their browser/os:-) Seriously, your point is good, but plugins allow someone to not install something if desired - even NoScript.
Hopefully the same will soon be true of gas guzzling SUVs.
And most pick-up trucks and many mini-vans and luxury cars. SUVs aren't the only evil out there and many of the smaller cross-over type SUVs get better mileage than the vehicle types I mentioned here.
Watch the law get passed, but fail to specify a minimum volume limit. Technically, the camera goes "click", but everyone will turn the volume all the way down... It's not disabled, just very, very, very quiet.

Now, get your lawn off my lawn :-)
Does Futurama count?
Furthermore, sharks can't live in space - duh.
Remove? Um. Simply turn them off.
No, dead produce.
...or STDs - yikes!

Proposed game name: Off Jack Off.
Of course, there's no way Iran could have faked this (again). :-)
My NetBSD toaster was lonely. Getting him a friend will be nice.
Worst yet, we'll all have to get new t-shirts that say "There are only 100 types of people..." And my binary one was just getting comfy, sigh.

The delicious irony being that they're both free...

Samuel L. Jackson, is that you?
Yes, yes. Instead he would have set up shop in a different state that offered him tax breaks. All things being equal... well things are never equal.

Simply get one of those Visa (PayWave) or Mastercards (PayPass) cards and tape it to your cell phone. Geesh, was that so hard?
