Dude, you got ripped off. They probably gave you the "foreigner price". Normally these are about $2 and if you buy 10, you get 1 for free.

The crater is a mormon, it does not consume earthshine.

Most people probably won't know what to do with it anyway and it will end up in the bin. The average person will need help installing and configuring linux.

Even if they try installing it they will end up being frustrated for not being able to get things to work. They will end up scarred by the experience and fall back to Windows.

Much better to spend their efforts educating students at universities or school. Even better to get universities and schools to convert to FOSS. This way children are forced to learn and work with FOSS. When they grow up they would be able to use the experience to promote FOSS at home/work.

What about craters in kuiper belt objects?

I would have thought these to be colder due to the distance from the sun.

What's wrong with calling it one Exabyte?
This is slashdot after all.

So, are you saying parliament is full of zombies who splatter each other's guts.

Considering the price of gold nowadays, that 2 bars would be about $800K. Gold Bar

I would bet that the first generation commercial incandescents and CFLs probably cost about the same if not more in real terms.

Like any other technology, LED bulb will go down in price as they mature and economy of scale effect kicks in.

What happens when we have flying cars?

You will need to adjust the funding slider on your empire to reduce military spending and increase technology spending.

Alternatively convert some of your citizen to scientists, that ought to get you the space flight tech quicker.

As someone who is doing it alone, patent costs can be quite significant. Not only for the filing fee but for the annual "maintenance fee".

Failing to maintain your patent means it will lapse and becomes public domain.

Actually, they showed Commando on TV over the weekend.

It amazes me how the bad guy had to run to the public phone booth to call his boss when he saw Arnie in the mall.

Nowadays I hardly ever see anyone using public phone anymore. I know there are laws on phone companies to maintain public phones but I wander if it still makes sense economically.

I would call their bluff.

If they don't use it, they won't be around either after the asteroid hits.

Dont forget, when you have expended all your ammo/missiles you can always use your drone to hit an enemy plane.

At the end of the day, a $5mill drone killing a $30mill enemy plane + pilot is still a good trade.

I can imagine the drone pilot screaming:
"Prepare for ramming speed" or
"Perhaps IT IS a good day to die"
