And wondered was M$ chipping their employees now

The early A2000 had bugs, but the B2000 was a great machine. Very upgradable.

I had one from early 88 until I left the country in july 2002

eventually I had a GVP '030 board in the CPU slot, with 12 megs of RAM, running the SCSI hard drives (biggest was 1 gig) and a CDROM, a flicker fixer in the video slot, and a GVP I/O card with faster serial ports (to run the BBS) and an extra printer port. THe original parallel port was used to PARNET to the A1200

Most military assets are not in geostationary orbit. You get a better view from closer up, and you move around to cover more area.

"Exercise should be fun - you just need to find a sport/activity that you enjoy enough so that it doesn't seem like a chore."

Exercise that has a reason is good. Walking or cycling as a form of transportation (like to/from work or the shops) is a good example, plus you save on CO2 emmissions and cost of gasoline. Of course cycling may not be possible in winter if you live in a northern state, but walking should be. Of course if you live too far away from your work maybe you could just walk part wayu and use public transport for the rest.

"4) Happier plants since they need CO2

But plants don't vote. "

And I am sure plants in Australia don't want it any hotter. Neither do the animals living there. But they don't get to vote either.

But the Antarctic area claimed by aussie will become habitable eventually
 

It means that if you have 2 objects, one of negative mass and one of normal mass (and nothing else around) The negative mass object will fall toward the normal one, and the normal one will be repelled by the negative one. The negative mass chases the normal mass and accelerates.
As the speed increases, the acceleration increases (once you get to a significant fraction of the speed of light)

It makes a good 'space drive'.

I wish I had patented the idea back in 1976 when I first thought of it when I was taking physics 101

20 knots isn't that fast, when the marines already have the LCAC that does 40+ knots and can carry an Abrams ashore and across the beach

Who are we planning to invade anyway?

The place that hosts my domains sends me an email, and then charges my credit card automatically if I don't respond.

"Yes and no tsunami will hit any reactors on a mountain!"

No tsunamis, but lahars, pyroclastic flows and lava are probably more dangerous to a reactor
