Addictions and hoarding behaviour too - knowing when we have enough and looking for more will bring no additional reward (huge, über-complete MP3 collections?). Go read it, it's worthy.
I understand why they omit punctuation, but It'd be nice if you could ask it to search including punctuation easily
You can. Try +sig.ma as opposed to sig.ma and sigma. You're basically telling it to be strict-er about that search term - less fancy stemming and all that.
then the soon-to-come high-def photos of the moon should answer that by showing the trash we left behind and that should still be there, the Lunar Landers
Unless you also posit that (a) the pics are fake too, or (b) automated probes were sent later to set up the equivalent of the New Mexico stage. They'll believe anything in order to disbelieve.
The half closer to Earth drifts apart from the other. It's the same phenomenon behind gravitational lock - the gradient along the Moon's nonzero diameter as opposed to a point-mass.
Well, it's not so much about linear spacing as angular elbow-room. Considering the 1-dB beam width at 14 GHz is around 0.7 degs, you could have ~500 orbital slots assuming they're all on the same frequency (no reusage). Still, you'd have some 500 km for each, enabling you to can cram some more with the reusage thing-y.
AI was about to say that at roughly 264,000 km in length the geosynchronous orbit is not likely crowed, but I did my homework, and unbelievably in densely populated longitudes (yes Europe, I'm looking at you), there are disputes on orbit allocation. Since a lot of satellites are operated by private companies and leased internationnaly, I guess the issue lies mostly with government agencies.

It seems pretty inefficient to carry the fuel mass for the retro rocket braking all the way up out of the gravity well into orbit and then back down into the gravity well so you can use it in the last kilometer of the flight.
In other words, spend additional energy to take more energy up with you, which you will spend dissipating all of the energy you gained going up.
That, or to keep taking advantage of the viscous gas you'll find on the way down to brake, where available. If you want precision, then you add a bit of chemically-generated thrust to steer. Where there's not enough gas (Mars and smaller), gravity may be weak enough to make the DC-X approach add up.
That is NOT what he's saying at all. He's saying that 'high end' will be reasonably priced.
But there will always be games like crysis that will allow you to make use of your cutting edge 500$ card.
I concur, and the two statements together mean that your $500 card will produce fluid, jaw-droppingly realistic video on the 1920x1200 panel in your laptop. I can see myself enjoying that.
Paying attention to their readers is pandering, and it results in a feedback loop with predictable consequences.
Yes, such as leaning so far towards one (stereotyped) position as to become anathema to persons of contrary opinion, and sometimes not even to the moderate readers on their own "side" (Fox News, HuffPost, ring any bells?). One would think that's not too wise, as it narrows your potential readership.
OTOH, the comments section / forums become an ecosystem where loyals reassure each other and bark together at the moon, and trolls give them something more to bark at in exchange for the thrill of being complete jerks from the safety of their keyboards.

Maybe the source of your grief is not so much the blue hue as the intensity of the glow - the halo would contribute to the eeriness. Ever tried to tame them with something translucid, like window film or magic marker? You could also change the series resistor, if available.
Then again, maybe I'm all wrong and there is something about blue light that stimulates us humans the wrong way.

If the results had been real, by now cars would have evolved to have faces painted on them rivaling the toothy grin on the Curtis P-40s of the Flying Tigers.
Shark teeth painted on a war plane are surely acceptable, but in a civilian car you need a measure of... discreetness? So you have headlights, hood and grille as surrogates to play with.

That (the issue of trust) is exactly what happened in Venezuela not long ago - besides the government refusing to make the code available for inspection, when the opposition cried foul and insisted in auditing random machines+boxes, the government was adamant about using the random sample generator provided by... ahem... the government. I really won't say that there was a fraud, but trust was seriously undermined from there on.

So... they made it more efficient by giving it a smaller battery? That is so obviously backwards... They can give it a smaller battery because it's more efficient, but not the other way around... Or did i miss something? The article certainly doesn't help explain anything more if that is really come clever something-something going on... Yup, real dumb. Closer to the proverbial horse's mouth:
There's nothing special about its size [...] But Phoenix is the same size as its thin-film battery, marking a major achievement.
In most cases, batteries are much larger than the processors they power, drastically expanding the size and cost of the entire system [...]
"Low power consumption allows us to reduce battery size and thereby overall system size. Our system, including the battery, is projected to be 1,000 times smaller than the smallest known sensing system today" The article goes on to the potential new applications with really tiny sensors, mostly embedding hordes of tiny bugs into the target organism/structure for distributed, robust monitoring.

That's a non-compete agreement. Not quite the same.

That's why I said "issue of trust": I won't put my money on the allegations of fraud, but the attitude taken certainly hurts confidence.
Also, the final, box-by-box report for the referendum you mentioned (Dec. 02, 2007) has not been published yet.
(There's all sorts of talk about that defeat having been negotiated beforehand, including the slim margin, but again it's just talk).
I attribute that up to bias against expensive cars, due to the [assumed] arrogance of their drivers.
Also, everyone evaluates cars as faces, rather than as machines or butts.
