Maybe we should wait until the "private sector" can manage to do what the US government did over half a century ago...put a human into orbit.
The "private sector" can't find it's ass with both hands, tax breaks and a Federal Reserve subsidy in the form of 0% interest rates. How is it gonna make it anywhere near Mars?
touchscreen blows away a gamepad for accuracy and speed
But not my mouse and keyboard.
Fuck mobile games and consoles. Give kids a decent gaming PC, a Steam account and turn 'em loose.
In a year, they'll have figured out how to install a new video card, how to overclock a CPU. They'll learn the importance of power supplies and of cooling and how to calculate clock speeds. They'll learn how to benchmark and what "frames per second" and "FOV" mean. They'll know what a driver is, and why a good one is important. They'll own at Battlefield 4. They'll be the boss of their console friends.
Once they're maybe 14 and have their own tech startup, they'll be able to afford their own console, should they want one at that time.
The only warning is that if you hear them complaining about "feminism" and "ethics", just feed them to the wolves and start over. You have failed.
I am sorry but the Pope is largely ignorant about most of the 'issues' he talks about.
Unlike Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Donald Trump, Carly Fiorina, let's see, who'm I leaving out?...Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Bobby Jindal, John Kasich...
It would have been wiser to arrange a CIA hit, than invite him to speak to congress.
If someone had said that about another religious leader and dangerous propaganda spewing fool, say, Benjamin Netanyahu, you would piss yourself in fury.
In the same way that the Federal Reserve is the "foremost expert" on "managing" banks. When the Federal Reserve is run by the banks, for the banks, and staffed almost entirely with bankers.
The IAEA is run by the nuclear power industry, for the nuclear power industry, and almost entirely staffed by execs from the nuclear power industry.
You're comparing the IAEA to the Federal Reserve as if that was a good thing?
You're acting as if functionality is being stripped out when that's obviously not the case.
If parts of your app are being stored in the "iCloud" and you happen to lose your connection, then functionality is most definitely being stripped out.
For those who don't know, it takes the traditional idea of open source software development, but infuses it with concepts from the social media sphere.
This, however, will not solve the problem of why these people are fleeing their countries. Indeed, it will only allow the political / religious forces that are the cause of this mass exodus to take permanent root.
Talos in Greek mythology was an animated bronze colossus who was charged with guarding Europa, so it seems appropriate in this context.
Yes, that was my point.
You see it pop up a lot in fiction and when naming programs that deal with anthropomorphic robots, particularly military ones.
You apparently don't know the whole story. This is where a classical education comes in handy: Talos was killed when Medea drove him crazy by giving him drugs and then pulling the plug out of his heel.
Talos was a failure whose vanity made him want to become immortal.
Thus, my statement that Special Operations Command is trolling us.
So, Apple comes up with a strategy whereby you can avoid the ever-increasing effects of "App Bloat", by on-the-fly delivering only the pieces-parts of the App that you are actually going to USE at that time, and ALL you can think of is how Apple MUST have some nefarious plan to SOMEHOW fuck you out of the "rest of the App" that will do NOTHING for you but WASTE MEMORY?
Why doesn't Apple do that "on-the-fly" delivery of only the pieces of the App that I'm actually going to use from the 128gig SD card I put into the slot on my iPad?
Oh wait, I think I know the answer to that, macs4all. Never mind.

If you're plans for tonight's Super Blood MoonTM don't involve entheogens, nudity and a pagan ritual, you're just not trying hard enough.
Sounds like you've never seen a credit card statement in your life. Do your parents pay your bills?
Yep, you're parents are paying the bills.
But not my mouse and keyboard.

Here's proof that is not true:

I for one welcome our churro-having overlords.
As long as they share.

Their charter is to manage nuclear weapons and to promote nuclear energy.
Let's not pretend that the IAEA is run by scientists. They're a political organization.
No, not "freakishly" tall. Not at all. Still, 6 foot 6 is still pretty tall. He could rest his nuts on top of your head.
Michael Jordan was two inches taller than the average player for his position.
When you put it that way, it sounds pretty awful.
They are the foremost experts on promoting nuclear energy. It's part of their charter for goodness sake.
Just in case you missed it:
From the very first line of the IAEA's Wikipedia entry:
See that? "Promote"?
Look at the membership of the IAEA. Do you see anything that sticks out? Maybe the fact that each and every member is a politician?
Not one bit.
So, you're saying that the International Atomic Energy Agency says that accidents at atomic energy plants are safe as milk?
What a surprise. In other news, the North American Society of Homeopaths says that homeopathy is really effective.
The US has already taken permanent root.
Thank the gods, somebody gets my reference.
Yes, that was my point.

The US promises to just put the head in.
"Talos"? Now the SOC is just trolling us.
And death adders.
That's not all. There are people, many of whom post on Slashdot on Fridays, who really believe blocking someone on Twitter = Censorship.
