Its the year of the bitcoin wallet
Stallman has announced that it should be called gnubitcoin.
Makes sense, I've heard that the gnu is very protective of its bits.

to build three massive, 1,000-foot high, 165-foot thick walls
For example, in Philadelphia, the newly completed Comcast building has about 300 meter height. The wall with similar height as the Comcast building should be much easier to be constructed.
But the wall is not similar height, is it? it's 3 times that height. Also, it may be 165-ft thick, but how wide? all the way around the city is how many times wider than said Comcast building? a few thousand? so 9000+ times larger structure is somehow easier to construct?
Some points to consider
1000 foot = 304 meter.
It is easier to construct a 3'x3' cube of concrete than a CPU, so size does not seem to be the only factor determining difficulty.
Or that attorney who tried to sue "the oatmeal" I forget his name...
You mean that carrion dude right? Witha a name like that, perhaps there is some connection to Barry's VitaPro textured protein meat replacement?
Ah, the ancient trick with registering yourself under a relevant nick ten years before I make a comment? Like I'm going to fall for that!
Some people will stop at nothing, not even time travel, to pull someones leg.
HP is well onto the course IBM was 25 years ago, shoot yourself in the foot, and repeat
Someone should show them the AA12, its the perfect weapon for this
I thought we were supposed to use C++ for this.
Twodrive, Threedrive, etc. The possibilities are (literally) endless!
Well,at-least until they hit Googolplex-drive and end up in MAD patent battle with Google.
Actually, many similarities: airships float in a sea of air, using buoyancy just as a ship does. Perhaps more like a submarine, but those are boats too.
And the loss of the Hindenburg certainly put a crimp in airship travel!
So if I understand you correctly, you are saying that the statement:
'Hindenburg stopped boat traveling' is correct then
Hindenburg would have been a better example.
Except the Hindenburg wasn't a boat
I thought they invented polynomials.
No polynomials were invented by the Bhinese.
0.1 Earth radius !! Here we come!!
Well, I don't know....
I would imagine You'd have to crash pretty hard to achieve that.
Insightful? Informative? Underrated? Anyone?
I don't have mod points today, so I'll guess I'll have to go with.... 'Anyone'?
Srsly though, the dude is right.
What do you mean by ITER having a good head start? ITER is still a giant construction site! Here's what ITER currently looks like. Yes, it's that hole in the ground.
I meant that ITER the project was initiated in 1988, thus giving them a good head start. I didn't say that they were still ahead.
This place just isn't big enough for all of us. We've got to find a way off this planet.
