Adam Steltzner, the lead engineer on the NASA JPL's Curiosity rover mission, believes that to send humans to distant planets, we may need to do one of two things: look for ways to game space-time—traveling through wormholes and whatnot—or rethink the fundamental idea of 'ourselves

If he's that confident, then he should send himself first. If not, then he should shut the fuck up.

If you're this fucking stupid, you deserve what you get.

"Except Wal-Mart's prices are damn low over time."

Funny you should say that. More than half of their stuff instore can be bought for cheaper at smaller places, quite often.

I saw a guitar, clearly labeled as $129 on the package (First Act guitar) and Wal-Mart had a $169 price tag on it.

No, the $129 was NOT labeled as MSRP.

Well, if the PULP lawyers see this, why the fuck aren't they filing suit for the American People?

I was just joking, partially. The same vulnerability that allows repeated posts also happens to be linked to the username registration filters. The first L in his name is actually a capital i.

The exact same vulnerability.

You must be new to the planet, because Google overtook Apple as the most valuable brand a week or so ago.

"Also, how the fuck did that fuckhead spammer BillTheEngineer get to post zillions of copies of his spam, all at 16:04, while us regular users have to wait 5 minutes?"

A vulnerability in Slashdot's beta code that I fond and sold for $250. Fuck responsible disclosure, you force this shit upon us, we force some shit right back.

This vulnerability is also present in the last released version of slashcode, so it will work on other sites.

Gotta thank the SoyentNews crew for making that VM. Made my bughunting life so much easier.

Both not very challenging to any suspension on the planet.

XP and 2000 have been around long enough that if you don't know how to modify/hack it by now, you should give up.

"That someone thought making a cash register run WindowsXP was a good idea scares me, though."

I've had no problems with the four XP-based machines I've used as POS systems.

Never needed to reboot, hardware issues got left to me to fix since I typically lived right around the corner so could grab a spare piece of XP-compatible hardware and toss it in and be back in business within a smoke break.

"Or it could be be you know more about suspension setups then Honda, who won the Indy 500 yesterday."

Considering it's all turns in one direction, uh, no. Honda still knows jack shit about suspension setups. Their FIT is top-heavy and will roll on a whim. Their old 4x4 WAGON had one of the most horrible suspensions I've ever dealt with. The old CRX was like trying to ride a fixie on a garden gravel road. Even their motorcycles (like the older shadow 500) had shit suspensions and shocks.

If you need a negative camber for stability and you're not on a race track, you've fucked up design somewhere.

I've been working on vehicles for roughly 15 years and I've got roughly 400+K miles flawless driving record. The idiots with cambered tires tend to perform very poorly on drag race strips and drifting tracks, and lose control because of the reduced contact between the road and tires. It's the dumbest thing to do and the PROPER way to alleviate this is an a-frame sway bar with MacPherson (or similar) struts attached.

Don't worry about the lenses being square. Just rotate them 90 degrees one way or another to get the proper polarization. Anything else is a secondary concern.

ASM makes R possible.

Henceforth, ASM is king. R is just another pretender.
