Mission control, 1960's, shall forever be the exemplar of true nerd fashion. However, in a bow to modernity, the pocket slide rule could probably be replaced with a smartphone.

The difference is how much rendering is done by vertex and pixel shaders, and how much is pre-rendered by the CPU and blitted to the GPU as a texture. Ideally you want as much of the former as you can.

[string]::join(" ",(get-content file.txt)) -replace "[^[a-z]"," " -split " " | group-object | sort-object -desc Count

Or, if you want to get really crazy sci-fi, a kind of jet-powered "superbus" made out of lightweight materials like composites and aluminum, that travels above the roads and doesn't require any infrastructure between the start and end points at all! It could go much faster and could travel in direct routes, disregarding terrain altogether. Maybe someday...

Salt? That goes on the fries, of course.

It's FL Studio now, but yeah, it's amazing how powerful it's become. Oh and by the way, free updates for life! Though they do sell harder/better/faster/stronger plugins as well.

That's like saying 4-door sedans are overdone! Ridiculous!

They renamed table-Surface to "Pixelsense." There's a link at the bottom of the new surface page.

Not mention, rockets don't even work in a vacuum! I read it in the NYT!

Not to mention, (I can only speak for North America) we actually have a long tradition of prefabricated housing, even from before modularized building was possible. E.g., Sears Modern Homes

I think Bigby was referring obliquely to the kind of "manufactured homes" that seem to attract tornados at an alarming rate.

It would be more accurate to say that Saturn technology was based on Nazi technology. But the German technology was based on American technology, specifically Goddard's.

Dragon is a private space vehicle and rides on Falcon 9, a privately designed and operated rocket.

Well...CO2 is not really "dirty" as far as plants and animals are concerned, at least, not at anything remotely like atmospheric levels. If global warming is in fact not as big a concern as believed, then reducing atmospheric CO2 has at best almost no beneficial impact on air quality, and in fact to the extent that CO2 mitigation takes priority to other air quality priorities, like sulfur and nitrogen oxides, it actually decreases air quality.

Yes, but NASA doesn't actually do either of those things.
