Comment I did the math... (Score 4, Interesting) 285

...and got a divide by zero error. I kept cable internet and dropped cable TV service for a year. I reconnected last night. 1000 channels including HD service. Searching for "Nova" returned no instances of the PBS show; if I want to watch my favorite show, I still need to buy it from iTunes and download it. Jury is still out on the other reason I dropped cable TV; I want to watch WWE Summer Slam in HD, live when it broadcasts (not three months later on DVD). It's not showing up in the listing yet; I'll try again two weeks prior to the event. Haven't tried to find a 2012 BBC Top Gear; had to 'torrent last winter's shows because they won't even sell those to us yanks. The funny thing is, Comcast never asked why I dropped TV service in the first place.

Submission + - Petition to ask President Obama to veto NDAA over (whitehouse.gov)

Foundling writes: "Yes, the Senate and House don't mind the idea of being arrested and held without trial, but the President has given U.S. citizens until tomorrow (December 30th) to weight in on being held without being charged or tried. If going to jail without trial just isn't your thing, sign the petition!"

Comment Mammoth launcher (Score 1) 213

Article says it's a mammoth launcher. Unmanned, yes, but the astronaut is clearly a mammoth. Presumably, this could easily be adapted for elephants, too. //I'll be watching another Delta 4 Heavy launch in January from my balcony. Haven't asked who the pilot is, yet.
