Do you work in the fields at a farm all day? Do you have more than one TV/video device in your house... or even on your person? Can an average person afford to buy a car?

Note most of these things apply to Americans or Europeans... but to suggest that automation does society no good is silly.

Then the submitter and editors are the morons for simply copy-pasting the summary.

But then, that kind of goes without saying here.

These guys did not launch a satellite, ULA did. Basically LightSale simply took a ride on an Atlas 5 that was deploying the X-37B and was thrown out as a secondary payload. Pretty much anybody can do that. A lot of CubeSats are often made by college students.

Also, describing CSV and measuring files in songs makes me want to punch Bill Nye, and I love Bill Nye.

Too busy making comments, probably.

We could challenge them to a dance off.

It generated tons of jobs for Halliburton and Blackwater, which was exactly the point of the war.

You are thinking of X:Rebirth.

But X:Afterbirth is just another shining example of why you should never ever preorder games.

That is a good point, Orbital ATK was more of a vertical integration move. This seems like it is more possible to create efficiency instead of trying to screw the customer (the US government) out of more money.

Though it is a nice system. Thiokol got government contracts to build way too many ICBMs, and Orbital gets contracts to turn those ICBMs into satellite launchers.

Either way, they understand the future is their own completely new rockets. Antares will be flying again soon.

ULA was the result of exactly this. The four biggest aerospace companies all merged into two, Boeing/McDonald Douglass and Lockheed/Martin, then those two formed ULA as a joint venture. This is why ULA's Delta and Atlas are entirely different systems. They were created by different companies. They realized it was smart to not compete since they had nearly all big military launches.

Presumably their next rocket, Vulcan, will be a replacement for both Delta and Atlas.

Also, Alliant bought Orbital to form Orbital ATK, doing the exact same thing.

I think the union just acknowledged that nobody is safe with their drivers, no matter what. Shameful that they are pressing the attack in light of the fact that one of their drivers is responsible.

No I am using the term "drivers" divisively. If they truly were engineers, they would be demanding safety protocols to be implemented and equipment to be installed.

Jimmy Fallon?

I keep reading AI (A.I.) as Al (as in "Weird Al").

Completely changes the tone of the summary.

This makes it seem like they wish there were more female serial killers.

Well.. as long as they were killing men, of course.

Let me guess, you and GGP write Python? Starting out in C, I can't get my head around any language that doesn't have a bracket system.

I am not saying you can't do dumb things with {}. (I am not sure what the term for the brace style is called.) In fact it makes it easier to do dumb things in some instances. But it also lets you do one liner things to make the code more readable. (such as the parenteticals in this paragraph (of course sometimes they make it harder to read such as this one))

What do you suggest as an alternative?

I had a spherical reference once...
