I have to wonder why we're trying to get three services, each with historical antagonism towards the other, to work together rather than simply have a force with ships, planes and armoured cars.
We do!
They are called the Marines...
Ta Da!
Even more blessed is the mind who can spell correctly.
So you don't think there are people who shoplift out of designer stores to resell?
Biggest problem is getting someone to haul the equipment over to the moon.
Of course not! We'll just print the printer when we get there!
Oh, wait...
And what is your point? Any file that is not written to the hard disk will be currupted on power loss. And, in case you didn't noticed, all files on a computer are binary.
And a human brain can make some sense out of a corrupted text logfile that no program ever could.
Pretty soon even the guy who drives a train is going to want to be called an engineer.
Only in the US. We call that guy an "Engine Driver", a "Train Driver" or even a "Motorman".
The engineer is the guy who builds trains.
You'd have 10000 pages on how to eat a peanut legally if that were so.
You haven't read much EU legislation, have you?
I wouldn't be surprised if such a document didn't already exist, and no, I am not joking.
Not such a funny idea. It could be somewhere like this place. This is truly remote, with only a ship every three months or so to bring supplies. NO airstrip, not on the slopes of a dormant volcano.
Funny that. I'm typing this on a D2700MUD with an Nvidia PCI GT620 card in it - at 1920x1080.
Just because they are not easy to find doesn't mean they don't exist.
I thought this was a story about an isotope...

So, they are not planning to run any industry at night? Or during the monsoon season?
Yep. I have different degrees of long-sightedness in each eye plus varying amounts of astigmatism. How is a gadget like this going to show each eye what it needs?
Since I'm already wearing glasses to drive with, my eyes would have to adapt again to view whatever this gadget is displaying. They're already doing that without spending money on the gadget. FAIL.
Cables for USB headers. Usually flat 4- or 5-pin connectors with no keys, although these days the 8- or 10-pin versions (2 USB ports) are (sometimes) keyed.
Plug one (or two) in the wrong way round, or worse, one of each, and I can tell you from experience it doesn't end well. Expensive, but not well.
Mars' atmosphere is about 1.5 % of Earth's atmospheric density. It's around 20 mBar, or eight times too thin for sustaining life even if it was pure dioxygen. For all practical purposes it's near-vacuum. And vacuum makes for a very good thermal insulator.
Well, yes, but then the thin atmosphere doesn't interfere as much with radiative effects. If this were not so, Mars would be hot because of the continuous radiation input from the Sun, retained by the rock.
