I'll believe in this when the car flys.

This is one of the few times I think that there might actually be a justification for a national security classification. Just because I don't think we should give what is arguably one of the longest range missiles ever proven to work to every country that can hire an engineer who can read English. I mean do you really want to give Iran the the ability to nuke the moon.

It's pretty ambitious when the country you are taking territory from has specifically signed a treaty with you in the past where you agreed to respect it's boarders if they disarmed all their nuclear weapons. Then to top it off the only other large nuclear power signed on the treaty backing the move. Yeah that's pretty ballsy. Source I don't think any other country will be dumb enough to give up there nukes any time soon.

They didn't beat the US. The US got a sample back first with a maned mission. However, they would have beat the US had the first Luna probe they send not crashed. Like a lot of things with the space race it was all pretty close. Also, the USSR could have beat the US to the moon had the N1 not failed it's first test launch. They were ahead of the Apollo program in terms of the command module and lunar lander testing. But without a rocket to get to the moon it didn't matter.

If you can get the waste to break orbit why not just point it at the sun. Landing it on the moon seems unnecessary.

Yeah the guy who backed those films is a nut job. I read a few of his "papers" from his website and he is totally off the wall. He was using Jews as an excuse for NASA covering up the "truth".

Another one of his "articles" was arguing that the Catholic church is in league with the Atheist's and Jews because they came out at said that there is no conflict between the Catholic faith and evolution. He just seems fixated on one issue. I stopped reading once I had a clear picture that the guy was crazy and more inclined to present personal attacks then actual science.

This man should be ignored.

Why have a crew at all... we have self flying plains why not supply ships.

Since the navy already runs nuclear reactors on ships I don't think they are that worried about them. However, the capacitor bank exploding could be interesting. I guess they would have to put it somewhere armored on the ship. I would also think that they might have trouble providing cooling for all the electrical equipment as well.

I'm just sad that M$ has basically made it clear that they are giving Windows Media Center the shaft. I mean how hard would it be for them to update the WMC so that HDCP works over DisplayPort. (If you didn't know it only supports HDCP over HDMI and DVI-D)

I personally love my HTPC and the cable company can pry it from my cold dead hands. It has WMC, Plex, Netflix, Amazon Prime On-Demand, and Hulu. I can watch cable and even HBO/Showtime or other Premium channels on it through my HD HomeRun Prime (With Free Cable Card). I have all of the DVR features and through some folder mounted drive magic a ridiculous amount of hard drive space to record on. (6TB if you are wondering. 3x3TB WD Red's in RAID 5 in a server in my basement.)

The best part is that with a few plugin's I've added to my computer once a show that isn't marked "Record-Once" is downloaded it has it's commercials ripped off, and is then transcoded from WMC's format to H.264 in an mkv container and added to my plex server. I don't have to do anything but open my HTPC and schedule a recording and I have the show forever.

This is the kind of utility that the cable companies and other media providers will never let us have easily. I'm not doing anything illegal. This level of convinced is just a service they don't want to provide and that's what's really sad.

Holy crap Idiocracy got it right!

To be fair most of the review is graphs and to answer your question sometimes. I'm just hoping some 3rd party vendor will release this card with standard attachments for hose barbs so I can just drop this card into my already watercooled computer. I don't want another fan/pump/rad assembly when I can just add this card into my current loop.

This statement may not apply to actual lawyers but I cannot confirm as IANAL.

The scary thing about Russia is that they don't need guided missiles to burn the world. They have enough nuclear bombs that they can just point all of them in a general direction and assume at least some of them will hit there targets.

The bell thing is interesting. Care to provide links. I tried googling but the results were useless.

Politics, Diplomacy, Empire, War they are all the same game. And the game has existed as long as humans have realized that someone must be in charge.
