It's part of the subliminal training they give parents in the waiting room at the OB's office, and in the hospital waiting room while you wait for you baby to be born.
A parents innate love of their children is probably the only thing that keeps us from flushing them down the toilet right after they "pop out" of mom. (Anybody who has seen a "Fresh" baby knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about. ICK!)
Hey, if
Eric Rudolph (The Olympic Bomber) can hide out for 5 years in North Carolina, then I have to admit that Bigfoot could stay hidden in Oregon or Washington state for a lot longer.
I hate to say this, and I know my Karma will suffer for it, but as an old-timer, and with Karma to spare....
LIKE I CARE?!?!?!
SW went downhill from Episode 1, and I can see no way to revive it. I don't care anymore about it, and I honestly believe that most of us here could really care less about what happens with SW.
And of course, somebody is going to mod me down as off-topic or as a troll, but I needed to get that off my chest (keyboard?)
Actually, I think it was that half-twist on the quote that threw me. It originally was "two foundations at opposite ends of the galaxy" (or similar), but your twist to "opposite ends of the earth" threw me into thinking this was a reference to another book that I hadn't read yet.
Nice reference though.
And, BTW: "Canticle..." is worth reading, and it's not that long of a book either.;-)
Courts tend to consider that type of issue rather more skeptically. You can dick arround making the other side perform makework for only so long before the court tells you to stop with the games and to start behaving in a manner that will allow the case to be set down for trial.
Kind of like the way my soon-to-be ex-wife is behaving....
If they had an AI onboard, I can imagine what these little fishies would be thinking...
Ooooooo, look at all this water. What am I doing here?
Hmm, I have this strange urge to travel...I wonder why....
Ooo, I know, there must be more fishes like me where I'm going... (Checks WWW for information on migratory species...) That's it! I must be migrating. There must be other fishes like me there.
swim swim swim...
Three months later....

Hmmm, this is where I'm supposed to be... Now how do I find other fishes like me? I know.. I'll go find something that smells like me. (What do I smell like? I smell like METAL!!!)
That's it, I'll go find something that smells like metal, and give it a kiss!
I have trouble finding my CDs, what makes them think I'm going to go to a SMALLER format that I'll lose even more easily, or lose permanently as my cats/dog/Roomba eats it?
Actually, the scary thing is that this is an excellent first step to the Moon and then onwards and upwards to Mars.
In fact, a conservative estimate would be that they could land on the moon in less than five years. Part of what took us (U.S.) so long was all the groundwork that needed to be done. Heck, now you can go into Barnes and Noble, or any other reasonably large bookstore, and buy the official NASA documents on the space program.
And considering the how much electronics have shrunk in the past 40 years, they won't need to put so much weight into orbit, or they could use that weight for more passengers or supplies.

The Japanese don't really have battle robots and stuff like that.
But Americans sure do!
Something else for the hypochondriacs to buy to make sure they aren't sick
Something else for the Tin-Hat crowd to complain about
Something else that has a reasonably good medical use
High tech
But does it run Linux? And if so, which distro?
I'm so confused as to whether I like this idea or not.

Forever Peace, by Joe Haldeman explored that idea (among others) in this book. Quite well written too, IMHO.

Mandark, but that's probably trademarked too.
I hate to say this, but the last time I looked, Cadence only last month was ported to 64bit Linux
Now maybe in a year or two my company can start running Cadence on cheaper boxen.
Does that mean I have to take these pictures off my web site now?
It's funny, laugh....
Well.....
I, for one, welcome our new....
Oh.... Never mind....
It's a joke, laugh!
My high power rocket will never carry live animals (except insects) or a payload that is intended to be flammable, explosive, or harmful.
They'll lose their certification for SURE!

I'm Sorry....
I don't get it....
Canticle for Leibowitz was the second reference, but I don't get the first.... Foundation by Asimov?
Kind of like the way my soon-to-be ex-wife is behaving....

While putting people in orbit is tricky and expensive, there is a way to put food and water into space very cheaply: Superguns!

I do this everynight to thousands of machines...
The software I use is Kazaa-lite.
Oh, you mean files other than my MP3s/jpegs/mpegs? Sorry, I can't help you there.
By treaty, satellites have no defensive or offensive capability.
