Who cares if the first 10 groups die off? Mankind should expand to multiple planets. Systems, Galaxies and Clusters, too. But planets is a good start.
We'll need to bring a fabrication chain online to have any chance of survival on other planets. Flying out spare parts from Earth isn't a reasonable option.
What else do we have to do? People will sit around on Earth squabbling over it's control and resources whether or not we send out colonies to squabble over control and resources on other planets as well.
Doom and Doom II never tried to "scare the user". They tried to "be awesome". Evil, broken, melting, fireball belching, rocket spewing, half-machine half-demon hybrids, crushing ceilings, innumerable vats of toxic waste, erratic lights, and tons of bad guys. Everywhere. And when all of them were finally vanquished, and you got to finally climb the steps and pick up your key, the walls dropped, and there was a whole other wave ready with fireballs flying.
Cue Beethoven's E1M1.mid
While I'd never wish to submit to the invisible hand of a free eldritch abomination, the idea of a regulated abomination, it's hands carefully controlled, might be something I'd be interested in entertaining.
They're at work right now. You'll hear about their accomplishments when some historian writes a popular novel detailing the incredible inventor of X, savior of mankind.
The titles a work in progress of course.
I assure you people killed any puppies that were malformed, disobedient or dangerous to their owners. _We_ were the environment the animals had to adapt to.
That said, I do not think this was wrong of us, nor do I think we need to forgo our animal husbanding ways.
Except Mr Perens of course. Your dog is not a love slave, Mr Perens.
When priests figure out how to miracle me some robotic prosthesis on demand we'll talk. Third hand stories ending in "but if you ask its testing god so fuck off" don't really cut it.
When you're in the military, you're always on call. Being on vacation in another state means you aren't available. Hence, the requirement to spend your vacation time for weekends.
I get it now. Slashdot swapped the Insightful and Troll tags at some point.
I'd say you're mostly correct. Except I would say hacking is creating a hack, where a hack is something ( ( unexpected or unforeseen ) and ( useful or technically interesting ) and ( impressive or amusing, to include schadenfreude ) ).
Create interthreading a switch statement and do while loop to manually unroll loops where useful? clever hack.
Using a "Pringles" can for storing chips? cartridge snack.
Using a "Pringles" can mounted to a rifle stock as a long distance phone hacking antenna? clever hack.
Processing an xml file into a sql statement to derive a json element that parses to an HTML widget? boring, that
Write a program that blasts the stack on a remote process, opens a shell and calls home to hand you the box? clever hack.
Download a VBScript program that takes a server and room option and floods an IRC room? kiddy crap.
Use a mostly ignored holdover feature of the x86 processor to create a sandbox environment for native compiled apps? clever hack.
Use a gyroscope to carefully balance a two side-by-side wheeled vehicle steered by leaning? clever hack
Drive one of the damned things off a cliff? Holy crap
<NES> lol
<NES> I download something from Napster
<NES> And the same guy I downloaded it from starts downloading it from me when I'm done
<NES> I message him and say "What are you doing? I just got that from you"
<NES> "getting my song back fucker"
Mitochondrial DNA is separate from the DNA of the host organism. It is inherited through the colony of mitochondria living in the egg the mother forms. No Ibex mother, no Ibex mitochondria. The mitochondria reproduce without interference from the hosts nuclear DNA. I don't know that this qualifies the animal as a hybrid, but as an environment its cellular flora have been replaced.
He was anthropomorphising them to "feel safe". What he meant was their `wriggle program` is interrupted by their `cling to shit` program when activated in that order. The thing just grabs when it detects leg contacts. Apparently they only have enough RAM for one program to run at a time.
Don't waste your empathy on base stupid creatures. Go love a puppy, or a gorilla or just about anything else. Insects and their aquatic brethren are mindless automatons. Nothing more.
Just because a system presents more memory than it has available in RAM doesn't mean it needs a swap. Empty pages don't need to be stored anywhere.
Thus Disk Space isn't required for virtual memory.
However, without disk space, once the running programs actually use all of the available memory pages, the system will have to implement its emergency out of memory conditions.

Do insurance policies pay out for death due to acts of war god?
Unless they see they can make more gaming the system than facilitating it

You underestimate the effect that hats will have on the linux economy.

I was wondering how to pronounce that until I realized it's just a clever bit of german with an outrageous french accent.
All these comments and not a mention of Alpha Centauri's beef vats? For shame, nerds. For shame.

Psychopathy, or diagnosed psychopathy? Perhaps most of them do well enough to avoid such situations.
It's not on your lawn. It's just over it.

Fucking shrink wrapped supercomputer apps.
So, I guess our planes suck because you suck. Thanks a lot, guy.
et cetera.
If they don't like the new organs, we offer a generous return policy.

This is no time to bring up the linux kernel response to out of memory situations.

What was virtual about it? I am genuinely curious what. A single address space the size of RAM sounds like direct memory access to me.
