There will never be a Delta IV Orion with humans on it. Even ULA is planning to sunset Delta and Atlas for a new rocket to replace these. Probably will somehow manage to make it even more expensive for taxpayers and a way to keep retired Air Force colonels employed.

This would still be cheaper than paying Boeing to do the launches.

The sidewalk technology I want to see are automatic tire deflators on cars that park on the sidewalk.

"Upload scanned PDF"

I would say this is more of a step to the side than a step forward. Though when I cosigned a student loan for my brother they were fine with me uploading a cell phone snap of my paystub as proof. I have neither a scanner nor a printer, and have no plans for either.

I worked at a company pre-tech bubble and pre-mortgage bubble. We were working on electronic vendor management, but a related project at another vendor was working on doing fully digital signing. It was mostly a disaster because the client (Freddie) simply wanted everything to work like it used to, including all the paper bullshit.

In the end they scrapped that part of the project, and scrapped all the "money saving" parts of our project. Freddie and the banks simply did not care about saving money, since it was all being passed on to the buyer anyhow. Hell, they didn't even care if the appraisals said the property were worth what the loan was for. Early 2000's were the wild west of the mortgage industry. I got out before the crash, but I was not surprised it happened.

Just looked up that Sabertooth motherboard. Damn, that thing is a work of art.

I always though it was the 98% of bad lawyers give the 2% of good ones a bad name. :)

A lot of companies work this way.

Also, when raises come around, managers are given a fixed pool of money to give out, and told to shrug and say the company has hit hard times when people ask to be compensated.

I seem to recall a 10 year anniversary post on that some number of years ago? Even that must have been, what 2009?

Fuck it, don't tell me, I don't want to think about it.

And most politicians are lawyers too, so good luck getting any laws passed that are harder on abusive lawyers.

Some people are still wondering why none of this pattern of deceit, lying and abuse of the court system has not resulted in anything more serious

Remember, Judges and prosecutors are lawyers too, and lawyers protect their own.

They injected code into his blog. So they made a derivative work of his, the code belongs to him.

Right then, all of you that attack people using adblock as "stealing" content.

This is why we do it.

Only if your cause is two chicks at the same time.
