This is an example of exactly why I don't subscribe to electronic subscriptions. Your purchased product can be taken away at the whim of the supplier.

So, it's half the length of the Hindenburg, am I supposed to be impressed? When I read the summary I was expecting something new, something that broke the mold on rigid airships -- and then I saw that it was just a pint sized Hindenburg. [sigh]

This is not about forcing the lowest common denominator of users to change, simply about allowing them to if they choose.

And when my Bank's app requires being sideloaded because they don't want to abide by the rules?

Did he find that ChatGPT has a left-wing bias, or simply a bias for truth that doesn't align with right-wing talking points? For example, posting the truth about the effectiveness and safety of vaccines isn't a left-wing bias, despite what those on the right might claim.

I remember all the slashdot shouts of, "that's impwossssuble!!!" when this technology was first announced.

And it's still impossible -- if it worked it would involve the creation of previously non-existence energy / matter. I'm not ready to throw out the First Law of Thermodynamics and accept as reasonable, the idea of perpetual motion machines until there is a lot more proof offered.

And while you're at it, give us back our rotary dials!

We get it, you love Apple products. But at some point you need to realize that people with different use cases exist and are better served by other products.

You're the one complaining that other people have requirements that differ from yours...

"Thanks for buying your new car! By the way, would you like gas with it?"

If you buy a car without wheels, isn't that's on you for not reading the specifications before paying for it?

The SFPD will be announcing their first model at an event next week. They will be demonstrating the ED209.

Even though he gave them the Supreme Court.

Mitch McConnell gave them the Supreme Court.

The earlier post compared launch costs of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy with four other launch vehicles -- so a direct apples to apples comparison. Admit it, you just don't like the results.

Your whining about "refurbishment costs" is beside the point. Here's a little nugget of info for you, ArianeGroup has no refurbishments costs -- because the entire rocket is thrown away during launch. Space-X has six individual boosters that have launched ten or more times each.

Your question of SpaceX's costs is only applicable after you detail ArianeGroup's costs, how do we know they aren't undercutting their costs?

They're taking a whole bunch of tech that was invented for them by taxpayers along with a whole bunch of engineers that were trained for them also by taxpayers and then a whole bunch of money paid for by taxpayers to do what used to be done at cost by the federal government and is now done at cost Plus whatever profit gets tacked on for the owners.

And yet, they're doing it for a tenth the cost... go figure.

Big Meat Companies Want To Treat Employees As Machines And Not As People

This is just an attempt by the ISPs to make an end-run around Net Neutrality laws.

Complain all you like about Apple being dicks, Google aping them is 10 times more dickish.

I wonder what other childish acts google has planned...
