Looking at it's Desktop environment (lumina), there is no way in hell PC-BSD will ever become widely adopted. It's a jarring shitfest of Windows-95 wanna-be hell designed by amateurs. If any OSS *nix has a shot at becoming mainstream by 2020, that would be Ubuntu. While they have their own issues, at least they understand how to put together a good looking UI, and their installer works quite well on consumer grade gear unlike most OSS *nix distros.

How is this news? Lets all submit stories about the sky being blue

Battleships went out the same reason the Presidio and it's coastal batteries protecting the SF Bay was decommissioned -- the days of cannons for Naval warfare are long over.

Why bother with a floating artillery garrison that can only attack targets within a dozen miles when we already have superiority with a Carrier Group consisting of a floating air base accompanied by floating missile platforms that can take out the major military targets of a small nation several hundred miles away all by themselves? A Battleship serves no practical purpose in a carrier group, nor could it ever hope of attacking a hostile carrier group -- subs or guided missile cruisers would take it out before it ever got anywhere near it's intended target

Communism has always been about the redistribution of the wealth held by the few into the hands of even fewer while claiming to be about liberating the "people", who wind up with even less wealth than before and little if any actual freedoms. Communism is a lie told to the ignorant and the poor to convince them to help tyrannical autocrats and their cronies to power.

When the shit dries, it can be used as fuel.

Warning: Nutritionists, Doctors and Scientists don't know jack shit about what constitutes a healthy diet and anything anyone says about calories, fat, protein, carbohydrates, cholesterol in your diet is pure bullshit

Hmmm ... I don't think WASP means what it think it means. White Anglo-Saxon Protestant is typically used to describe lacoste clad and teeth whitened mcMansion types, not bible banging NASCAR fans

Assuming that the concept of the "multiverse" is indeed correct -- and presently, current scientific theories do point to a strong probability -- why would the other Universes be COPIES of this universe? Why wouldn't they be similar, yet different, such as cells in a body? Sure, cells may have all the fundamental parts in common, but the atoms and molecules that comprise them are entirely unique. You and I are frankly of no significance nor would there be even the slightest possibility of a copy or alternate version of ourselves in any other universe. However, if you want to talk about alternate versions of THIS Universe, well, we might have something to talk about.

And for the record, I do not think it so preposterous to posit that the multiverse concept is too wild an idea. Have we seen anything entirely unique in this Universe? Have we seen were magnification or division ends? Why should we not have a multiverse where thousands, even millions or billions of Universes exist? And what contains those? How do you propose we ever find out if we shit all over the very idea until we actually have "proof". Frankly, I find the notion of a singular Universe too close to the notion of a God to take seriously, the multiverse concept seems more in line with what we see in nature

That mistook the headline's mention of RU Sirius for Yahoo Serious? Same era, same stupid sounding name, same flash in the pan. I wonder if they were separated at birth

Nice first step, but I'll be more impressed when the results are in agreement with predictions from the 1890s

Maybe that was my point -- that the "hanger" was putting it back inte Rutan's capable hands. Sorry if my humor was too subtle.

Is that what they are calling Burt Rutan's Garage these days?

Can it turn your toast back into bread again?
