Comment SpaceX Will Beat NASA at this Game (Score 2) 75
Part of me is happy to see NASA doing this kind of development.
On the other hand, I suspect that some version of SpaceX's Dragon will carry men into space long before Orion.

Just musing out loud that a mission planner apparently never been on a mission himself.
Ah, but you have no idea what kind of jet I plan for (or for that matter if it's even a jet, because before now, I haven't said), or what my background with the Air Force is.
For example, it is very possible that before retiring from the US Air Force, I could have been an Engineer on the C-141 and then a Loadmaster on the C-17 after the C141 went away (the C-17 does not have Engineers, computers took care of that). It's very possible that through that experience, I have a great deal of knowledge that applies directly to C-17 mission planning. It's possible that in addition to my database experience post-Active Duty Air Force, I spent a significant amount of time in various capacities with the Operations Group with a particular Reserve Wing before moving to Active Duty Current Operations (otherwise known as the "Barrel") as a civilian on the Active Duty side.
Quite frankly, your comments show your complete ignorance about how flying wings operate, how missions are generated, and the different pieces that fit into the mission planning pie.
I know you're trying to imply I'm full of shit, but you're only making yourself look more like a completely ignorant idiot. Such is to be expected from "Anonymous Cowards" such as yourself.
Air Force mission planner huh? So you have multi-engine jet ticket? At least 1,000 hour in high performance aircrafts?
I said mission planner. Not pilot. Clearly you are an idiot.

according to the ruling, which I have read most of, you would have to prove the data on the phone would be an imminent threat, which is impossible to do
Here's what will go down:
We had a "reasonable" suspicion that data on this phone would reveal plans for heinous crime to be carried out imminently, your Honor...
And the judge will allow the search and seizure.
Folks, illegally obtained evidence is allowed after the illegal search all the time . It is *VERY* rare for a judge to throw out evidence that was illegally obtained.
But if you want, Frosty Piss, tell us what job you do?
I used to be a Database Admin. But for the last 8 years, I've been a mission planner for the US Sir Force.
I'm not sure what this has to do with your argument, though.
Why do the neighbors take exception to it, though? How does it affect the neighbors if someone else messes up their lawn and flower bed?
That's like asking, "Hey, what's the problem with letting the garbage pile up, having 6 cars up on blocks, and well, that heavy traffic from my crack sales? it's not in your yard..."
Sure I don't expect 2000 permanent full time jobs, but injecting $2 billion into a community ain't so shabby
The problem with your argument is that "2 BILLIOB" *WILL NOT* be "injected" into the Local Economy. Much of the design, contracting, and building supplies will come from elsewhere.
Sure, there are the shit wages that will be paid to the Paper Factory Serfs, but just about everything else will come from elsewhere. And by all means, let's not discount jobs in the South that pay little more than Dairy Queen...
This is what you get for living in an overpriced shit-hole like SF.
For the majority of consumers in the first world. If you ever traveled more than 10 miles from your house you might find that other people live differently than you do. A 10 year old TV in some communities in India is a luxury!
Been all over the world, Mr. Elitist Asshole.
But as it happens this discussion *is about* "first world" e-trash, so put your head out of your ass.
My current main television is about 10 years old, and I bought it used two years ago to replace another that was 14 years old and needed an expensive repair.
You are not the "norm". For the majority of consumers 2 years old is obsolete.
As essentially a paid review publication, "ComputerWorld" ceased being worth paying money for long ago.
Plus in this you don't have to wear stifling leather clothing, and you can drive in the rain without getting soaked.
I think there is a market for this.

And it doesn't require touchy gyros, can fit a passenger, and a little bit of cargo.
Hipster Mobile for the Glasshole crowd.
Dice killed it, just like they killed Sourceforge and are killing Slashdot.
...As has the number of chars allowed in the Subject Line.
but also the hundreds or thousands of acquaintances you have online?
I have never used Twitter. I have a Facebook account to keep track of people I actually know, mostly old frieds, mybe 50 at most. I do not Facebook with people at work.
The definition of "acquaintance" seems to have changed since I grew up. To me, someone I have never met in human form, nor had any significant conversation with either in person or "on line", is not an "acquaintance".
Luddite Rube, you say? OK, as you say... Involved with professionally "IT" since 1988, high in the IT food chain at a major US Air Force Base...
Yup, I'm a Luddite Rube...
Don't panic.
