As Randall puts it, getting to orbital height isn't the hard part, it's getting to orbital speed.
things stay in orbit because they're going ungodly fast. That whole centrifugal force thing, our stuff up there is constantly falling toward the earth, and constantly moving so fast laterally that it's missed hitting the earth.
same for the sun, but bigger. the problem being, you shoot something out of orbit of earth fine... it's still moving ungodly fast, fast enough to miss hitting the sun though, and from what that guy up there is saying, the sun is actively pushing stuff away.
:)
yes, not paying taxes will do that.
i'd wonder at the purchasing power of the average income. i'd also wonder at the distribution of income, with greece's current 25 percent unemployment rate.
the US rail is pretty functional too, but that corridor actually turns profits occasionally.
wait, greece still has TV's?
also, i hope their commentary goes something along the lines of, "this tragedy occurred on an actual functioning, profit-neutral rail line" because, you know, greeks probably have never encountered that scenario.
I think the truest definition of AI, the endearing one that we've feared ever since the inception of the concept, is something capable of supplanting us. Both the capacity and potential will to do it. It can't be a tool of ours, it must have its own agency.
ever try playing cards in the back seat? the stability of most roads is a nightmare unless you've got the best shocks made by man... and the turning. The magnets might work, but not for dice, and cards.
... tabletop game... how much room do you imagine they have? with what kind of stability.
this is why the best option is to strap the safety crate to the roof of the vehicle, and let the dog fear-poop itself while getting its fill of the 60mph scent-hurricane of highway travel.
no simple about it. it sounds like monumental, epic dickery.
i'm saying, just convince people to stop watching TV altogether, you've always got that option. but ESPN is betting that they can dictate these terms because, at the end of the day, the people that want it, really really want and would stop watching TV without ESPN, and the people that don't want it, don't care enough to stop watching TV over it.
nope, you can still vote with your wallet. just convince enough people to make verizon's financial burden more costly for keeping ESPN and losing you than the other way around.
Just stop using verizon unless they drop ESPN.
People realize that 111 million people tuned in for the superbowl in the US right? out of a population of 320 million? a good portion of that 1 in 3 americans loves the hell out of their cable package with sports.
wow, go figure, slashdot is full of people who have no fondness of hand-egg ball and ball stick throw, and run run kick kick net.
:) depends on the business you're in. but it's how it's done in at least one fast-paced industry... trucking... and probably a shit-ton more than that.
you get a relationship, you forgo the contract. payment on delivery, and you don't quibble over the small stuff. establish terms, and if the other guy delivers on time, you pay him, if he says you owe him money, you verify it, and you pay him. If he fucks something up, he gives you a discount on the invoice or he pays for it. You don't fucking jeopardize your relationship over... what certainly amounts to less than a fucking percent of your operating costs.
and yes, you get pay, because the other guy delivered on 30 things, and if you quibble over one, you quibble over one. But you do it above board, because you're both making money out of the relationship, and it's retarded to jeopardize the future profits for... a pittance.
it seems it was 1 exploit that affected 30 systems. so the point is moot.
as an exercise though, yes, yes you do.
if this were a business decision/transaction at all you would.
if it were 30 separate exploits, you would pay him for 30 exploits, and charge him damages for the 1 that got away. Penalties or what have you. And you do this because it's more orderly that way, and you're trying to be aboveboard with this individual and with the community as a whole. For future collaboration.
You do it so the guy has no story to spread, about how you don't honor your agreement... because again, it's business.
In your example, this is one of the only guys that mows lawns in your area, and guess what, the lawn mower's association is pretty fucking tight-knit... and it's all illegals, so that 20 buck sounds about right.
You've asked around, and anybody else that you want to do it will cost 40 buck a week to do the same thing that these guys wanted 20 buck per mowing wanted. and they only had to come around every other week. Oh, and guess what, you're in california, and this grass is dry as fuck. And if fire ever comes back and you've got an unmowed lawn, your headquarters is going to burn the hell down.
this would be a parallel situation. you suck it up, and treat it like business, and show that you'll pay for work done, and honor your word, otherwise you're out bigger money one way or the other.
HELP!!!! I'm being held prisoner in /usr/games/lib!
