  1. Ripley didn't make it, and the ending was tragic. There was an xenomorph onboard.

    She made it the first time.It was at the end of her second encounter the xenomorph was on board. But she did come back with super human abilities.

    Not an expert on Marvel but I didn't see the link between marvel's current set of characters (batman, superman...blah blah ) and these ones so maybe with time when people noticed the lack of the link between them they slowly gave up. Perhaps its that lighting man black dude which I really laughed at and was so stupid. Too much clichés were used and I found it cringy.

    You don't see the link because those aren't Marvel characters. Batman and Superman are DC comics not Marvel Comics.

    It also takes more man power when you are still learning the efficient ways to do something than it will once you have learned those ways. So if you haven't expanded enough at that point to employ all your original staff you need to cut some.

    Unfortunately, fission is how we get many radioisotopes that are extremely useful, especially in the medical field. technetium-99; iodine-131; cobalt-60; americium-241; californium-252; even plutonium-238, the only practical energy source for lengthy space probe missions.

    Only a very small percentage of reactors around the world (none in the U.S.) are used to produce medical isotopes. The Canadian one being rebuilt caused a under supply of some of the medical isotopes for several years.

    C: is for CODE
    D: is for DATA

    When I was still using Windows as my home OS it was:

    C: Windows

    D: Swap

    E: Applications

    F: Data

    I found that programs on the same partition as the swap file were interfering with it and causing a significant part of my crashes. Crashes diminished greatly after that. Windows itself fragments the C: drive so by isolating it as the only thing on the C: drive I greatly decreased the amount of defraging I had to do as the other partitions rarely reached the point where it was needed. Of course separating apps from data meant that backing up your data partition alone was easier and more frequent.

    Well they claim if you have nothing to hide you don't need privacy so they should be leading us in surrendering theirs instead of doing the opposite. You know like Trump showing his tax returns.

    I would add in Churches, Church leaders and the leaders of any organization claiming great moral standing as they obviously as great moral leaders have nothing to hide too. Right? Judges and Lawyers as well just to prove that they aren't taking bribes as of course they aren't.

  15. Here's a relevant quote: ...even if your business doesn't have a large loyalty program, you can still measure store sales by taking advantage of Google's third-party partnerships, which capture approximately 70% of credit and debit card transactions in the United States. So, more than two thirds of your non on-line purchases are tracked by Google and sold to all and sundry.

    Why stop there? All senators and congress critters, state legislators and senators and governors. Go for it. These are the guys pressing forward on their surveillance society under the "If you have nothing to hide why do you oppose losing your privacy?" banner.

    1) If a user has a wierd problem, a professional developer has to fix it promptly or give a refund. An open source developer doesn't have to do anything.

    Oh really? So why does Microsoft have this long history of "Reboot and Reinstall"as their solution to so many problems? Guess they aren't professional developers. Hell I've had problems that our company IT person took to MS and found that "solution" only to have me say FUCK THAT and work through the logic to solve the problem (for example a keyboard error that would only allow it to work for a couple of seconds at a time - Win10).

    You mean more than 2880 - as US Steel plans to add more than 800 jobs this year. I'd say that's close enough to 3000...

    Personally I don't trust the word of U.S. Steel. They bought a steel company in my home town and part of the deal was keeping it open. They closed it.

  23. I don't know why that is being classed as funny. I've had Americans tell me that nations other than the U.S. can't be allowed to have nuclear weapons because only the U.S. can be trusted to NOT use them. The fact that ONLY the U.S. HAS used them seems to escape their notice. Screws loose or missing entirely.

  24. I am sorry, did you not hear? We landed MEN ON THE MOON almost 50 YEARS AGO.

    what did your country do in space 50 years ago? Did you even launch a satellite (aboard one of OUR rockets?)

    So what. You can't do it NOW either. A private company or two might be able to do it in 5 to 10 yeas but not your nation unless they pay those companies to do it for them.

    Our first satellite? 1962 on one of your boosters. It was operational for 10 years (designed for 1). We are a much lower population country and didn't get all the WWII German (NAZI) rocket scientists you did to kick start your space program. Not to mention the actual V2 rockets to start the program with. Then you lost the will to do space in a big way.

    Much as many hate Elon Musk he has done more to kick the U.S. space industry into high gear since JFK did it. Now just wait till the Chinese start cloning the Falcon designs.

  25. More likely every other nation will stand by and laugh at the USA pouring money into space defence, and not follow suit. Lol, remember during the presidential campaign when Trump said he'd pay off the deficit in seven years? How's that coming along?

    I'm sure his deficit is being reduced quite nicely. You didn't think he meant the national deficit did you?
