One company gouging you is a thief. It takes two to make for a price fixing conspiracy. thus AntiTrust, thus the Sherman Act.

That's why the FCC is up in arms about the whole ordeal.

It's time to shoot the torp that blasts their little battle station out of the sky.

Well do you? That's the Fat Lady tuning up to sing the funeral dirge for the telecoms death grip on the wireless industry.

Let the blade of the guillotine fall and fall again! Make them feel the icy bite of the steel on their flesh, realizing the cold hard fact: Don't piss off the paying public, you may wind up in the ditch.

Fine, we'll shoot the hoaxers to the moon. That should settle their hash once and for all.

Please keep the rovers away from the actual landing sites and the trails the astronauts made. Those are a piece of history, why ruin them?

The main reason why you took manual control of the vehicle.... XEROX built the on board computer! And it broke... (tisk)

That's one of the things with finding and deploying cures for the effects of a nuclear event. It might have the effect of removing the political aspect of using nuclear weapons, to actually encouraging terrorists to actually deploy IND or the Real Thing.

This would help people, but what would clean up the contamination of the surrounding environment aside from dozers and dump trucks?

There were a lot more factors involved than just the shuttle program. There was the war in Southeast Asia that was eating up the fiscal budget. Then you had the flagging public interest. The general consensus was that we made it, we accomplished Kennedy's Goal, we beat the Russians to the moon, why should we go back? The lunar program was one of the few "Blank Check" programs that was approved by congress. And boy did NASA gobble up the funds. The evolution from the IRBM Redstone and Jupiter missiles converted to launch vehicles to the scratch built Saturn family created major milestones in R&D as well as fabrication processes. And that took a lot of money to do.

As for the tapes, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the quality of the image. You see, the data stream being sent from Honeysuckle back to the states was being compressed so it could be transmitted via the SPACETRACK network at the time. NASA corrected the problems for the remainder of the landings but the grainy, streaked image is still part of history.

Burn ban was in effect and could not shoot off the Good Stuff, so I watched movies and played games.

AdBlock... *Grovels before it.* You have saved my weekend from the nasty, nasty, nauty ad services.
To the masses that do not use AdBlock; get it, use it, pay the poor programmer for his diligent work.

They got that million dollar touchless scanner that can digitize the papers with ease, then put them into either Open Source or PDF formats.

Clothlike photovolatics. You'd be quite literally wearing a patch of solar cells on your jacket, powering your appliances. Self-charging power cells, when it runs low, it'll tell you through audibles or a simple electroluminescent indicator. Just set it outside and it'll happily charge itself.

New processes for PV's to be built. Self-charging billboards using LED's or other low voltage lighting, eliminating high powered spots that pollute the night sky. I don't know how they would stand up to the rigors of space travel, but I'll bet they'll come up with something, perhaps laminating BB PV's in Lexan or a similiar transparent material.

Maybe a paint using them, making once again, self powered equipment, or hybrid wind generators that keep generating power even when the wind is calm!

How are they at being a wearing face? New generations of bearing materials that have an even lower friction coefficient than the current materials.

Also, new formulations for fuel using polymer chains of BB's maybe in order, making it an excellent replacement for sulfur as a lubricating additive.

Ditto. Good Macadam roads are tougher than standard asphaltic types, but the dust will kill you until it stabilizes.

Oh that person has every right be crass. If someone's life is on the line and the medical staff is doing 9-5ers without regard for that person's life, then they need to be fired. The majority of the good doctors are detectives. The ones that are not are the ones that oftentimes get patients in trouble, or worse. This girl had a difficult-to-diagnose disease and her caretakers did not take the time to perform a full grid search of her biopsies, or the time to actually make ANY effort outside of what they are being paid for, to resolve this mystery.

Bottom line are the morons didn't think outside their little boxes.

I'll bet their post-it notes are an inch wide! (Meaning, closed minds.)

Albert:
Tried to gain admittance to college several times.
It took over a dozen papers (including the photon concept) for him to gain admittance to college.
He intensely disliked rote learning, clashing with instructors and administrators over it.
Had a reputation to goof off (He was actually having some lovely brainstorms, one storm on space-time coming to him as he was riding a bus.)
Was a ladies man (They really wigged out when he broke out his violin).

The kid had better get used to failure; poor Albert was rife with it throughout his life.

You are not logical HP 15C. Polish notation you are.

Poorly designed for 3d applications, borderline for the rest, and leeching off of the system memory to boot!

Banging the gong on this one, for those onboard GPUs are the main reason why the 3d club are buying upgrades.
