Let's waste half a billion. Why not crowdfund for something meaningful and useful to the world? There are people dying and these jerks, anyone who supports this with effort or funding, are masturbating.
Wrong, bucko. Worked for HP during the 90's where this kind of thing went on. Worked for General Dynamics, where this kind of thing went on. I've been dealing with it since the 70's. But...It does not make it right. Don't try to justify it.

I have a Kindle. I purchase books from Amazon, paper and e. However, I find other books from other sources. I'm leary of Amazon reaching into my Kindle to remove books I've purchased, so I regularly crack the AZW and convert them to MOBI. Calibre is one of the best tools for managing this.
Yes, I have found digital copies of every Heinlein book I've ever owned.
What is Amazon going to do about "Lord Foul's Bane"?
Granted, I'm working in a highly secure environment with secure images, so we are all over the VDI for development. It allows my dispersed developers world wide organization of death and destruction to work in a large team environment while being in Europe, Florida, California, Washington, Japan, Hawaii, and Singapore. And yes, I am being completely serious.
It does allow us to provide a central pool of tools that make changes without dealing with the local machine that is controlled by another agency.
I bought a NEC DVD burner a few years ago. There was a flash mod that upgraded it to a DL burner. Worked great. Basically, same hardware, just a BIOS change.
This seems to be the easy way out the critics took to unite in panning Tron Legacy. Tron 2 was just gutsy by Disney,
I walked out of Tron Legacy last night. About the point where we started to get more exposition instead of show. The 3D was horrible to non-existant. I found myself hoping the kid would get killed. It was friggin painful to watch. I was awed by the original Tron, even when it was light in areas of story. This was a LOST opportunity, much like the sequels to Pirates of the Caribbean and Matrix. Except this one actually induced me to WALK OUT. The last movie I walked out on was Kevin Costners "The War".
The way I see it, there are several reasons why the USA would want to build Railguns:
- They have info that aliens exist and can come to Earth.
- They have confirmation that someone (e.g. China, Iran, North Korea...) really plans to attack the Western World (or only the USA).
- They are planning to conquer the World in the next 10-20 years.
- Or they are really just being careful and making sure they can face the unexpected.
You're an idiot, but you know that right? You're list shows you have no real critical thinking skills beyond what you learned from apocolyptic comic books, movies, and video games, but that doesn't stop you from trying act like you have deep thoughts.
The reason I am assuming you know you're an idiot is because you post as AC and have that little scrap of pride.
Try this: They've been working on railguns for ages, as a launch system for ballistic missiles, manned spacecrapft, projectiles, and other purposes. Electronics and triggering systems from that research make their ways into other areas.
Also, you always want to make your systems portable, safer on home turf, and easier to handle.
"Safer on home turf." The problem with explosive delivery systems like cannons, rockets, and guns is that their is a risk of blowing yourself to smithereens. If you can eliminate that from projectile delivery, you become more effective.
...A half dozen 30-year-old frigates. Note the distinct absence of "enemy" aircraft carriers.
The US is clearly still in an arms race, but no one else is running.
Bullshit. Your willful blindness to China's continuing Naval research and constant deployment of newer systems, to include an Aegis-like system just goes to show how much of a bloviating agenda loaded crap bucket you are.
It started with the first commenter on the TechDirt article who "corrected" Mike Masnick. It turns out that Mike was correct and the poster inadvertently caused all kinds of problems for EasyDNS.
So, in order to punish those that did not support Wikileaks, the attackers effectively took out a DNS, thus denying access to Wikileaks.
There's something on the end of my foot!!! Shoot it!!!
Remember, when it comes to mobs, all you need is the whisper that someone is guilty and the mob whips into a frenzy and lynching begins.
To the mob, the whisper is proof.
I'm waiting for Lisp# to use as my asp.net codebehind.
It's like the 70's and 80's

...its like the era of near anonymous sex, eventually people started dying after hooking up. How long before we see people killing their computers, or going to jail because they plugged in and xferred something really illegal?
Is this like you go into the grocery store and eat a few twinkies and the manager bum rushes you and makes you pay? Or, is this like picking up a discarded paper on the ferry and the guy at the news stand demanding you pay him for it?
Slashdot Mirror
To prove this, the Chinese news agency used clips from the movie "Airplane II".
That was highly racist!

So, this will eventually create a class of citizen who doesn't get sun exposures because the rich will get the buildings that move to face the sun.
Boom chicka wow wow.
A huge list of Meh. 80% will be non-starter or failures on Tech Fails of 2011.

The makers of that wonderful Daylight Savings Time are saying that the next version will include the ability to add hours to the day.
"24 hours should be more than enough for anybody" - God
Or, were you refering to his prioritization?

Or when BAD programmers, think they are good, and label other programmers as BAD. Which one are you?
The market decides. In this case, Amazon would have suffered a bad Christmas quarter if they continued hosting.
I think the U.S. Coast Guard should sue the U.S. Copyright Group.
