I would do a lot harder work than just fucking voice-over for $14M for just two years.
It really pisses me off when I hear about people who turn down so much for doing so fucking little
So you are saying that rather than being able to make a choice, he should of been forced to dance like a monkey for you or other peoples benefit?
Why hackers are stupid. Stealing somebody's coffee money is one thing. Putting a $2B industry at risk will probably get you killed.
Maybe they really like coffee!
You do realize that this is Starbucks we are talking about, don't you??????

Slow down skippy, you'r projecting there.
but I want to know what the other properties of this material are and I assume many others do to. Why write an article and leave out so much potentially interesting information? Laziness, lack of thoroughness?
While the first FA looked like a frat boy wannabe reporter, the second FA was a link to the published paper about the material properties of this foam. And if that isn't enough of you then there is always google - or a materials science degree at a reputable school.
ANd what are its other durability properties, like brittleness/flexibility/fracture toughness? . Ability to withstand piercing? Just because it can withstand tensile or compressive stress doesn't make it a good solution for ships.
Given that TFA says that the Navy is using this foam for the deck of the USS Zumwalt, I'm betting that they have already thought up and answered more questions that the average slashdotter could have envisaged - and that they are happy with all of the answers.
Captain Scarlet had it right
This is not a spaceport.
It is actually a secret ICBM (Intra Continental Ballistic Missile) base that is being built to defend Texas* from the likes of the Jade Helm 15 plans**.
* Although if Texas has Chuck Norris, why would they need a secret ICBM base for defense?
** Jade Helm 15*** being the plans that were dictated to the chief KIO (Kenyan-In-Office), by the UN in order to suppress opposition when the veil is finally lifted off the global climate change deception. And I am pretty sure that the Illuminati dictated those plans to the UN.)
*** 15 in base 23**** is 28 in decimal and Texas was the 28th state - so Iowa better watch out for Jade Helm 16!
**** 2+3=5 and there are 5 permanent members in the UN security council.
This poll scared the shit out of me making me think Mother's day was today or very recently and I'd forgotten. Screw you
Uuhhh? As far as I know in the US it was yesterday.
Which shows that you don't realize that mothers day is celebrated on different dates in different countries. (and screw any ideas that
I'm not sure why a simulator would ever want to bash people that hard. You'd think it'd be almost more jarring to have the simulation just stop completely -- lights go on, screen dark.
Sometimes the bashing part IS the reason for the simulation HUET Train to Survive (although in this case there is no actually bashing
Same as with real property (house, boat, business office complex, etc.). A trust account, a trustee, and the keys in escrow (envelope in a box at the bank or the lawyers office).

But it's with a 3-D printer! That makes it novel and non-obvious, right?
Wait until I incorporate a drone in the 3D printing process

Indian and Chinese tech workers are often excellent technically, but run into road blocks trying to talk to Americans over the phone, because their accents are sometimes horrendous.
Aside from the accents there are also other cultural issues at play*. Last week I had an Indian guy leave both an email and a voice mail saying "I've got great news for you." And didn't tell me what the effin "great news" actually was. I had to call him back in order to find out what he was actually talking about. And when I did get on to him he then had to lead me along this extremely verbose description of events leading up to why he called me (a series of events that I was well aware of as it had been developing over the last 2 weeks and I had been involved in them.)
In his case I felt he was suffering from a major dose of 3rd world bureaucratic empire building, and couldn't come straight to the point even if it he had to do it to save his own life.
* EG The classic Asian personality of not being able to say "no" to something.
Perhaps for IT monkeys. However, the security engineers (level 3 or 4) I hire in the DC area are in the $150-200K range.
How does that compare to non-clearance people of the same level? DC is not exactly a cheap place to live, so I expect salaries to be higher there.
If you have polygraphs....15-20%.
Sigh, when is the belief in magical things going to end?
