or the show's off.

And they should stop all the calling. Not telephone calling, but when the TV news people "call" an election for a particular candidate. We don't have that over here in the UK, and I think we're better off for it.

That's a great way to encourage investment. This company has spent tens of millions developing this technology. Sure, that pales into nothing compared to billions, but it's still a lot of money, and denying them any return from it is ridiculous. Also, the ISS is not the USSS. If the ISSP gets some of the money from this company, then great, and they probably have already paid them a chunk of cash.

...and this.

The ISS goes around the earth at something like 20 times the rate of the Earth's rotatiuon, so you couldn't really show the Earth rotating from the ISS, the natural rotation would be swamped. Someone else does that kind of thing, anyway.

You can particularly see it in the shape of the London Eye, the big wheel at the top of the London video.

So all boycotts are pointless, because no single individual is significant? Raindrops are really really tiny, yet floods happen.

Agreed. I will start taking notice of polls once more when they go back in the sidebar.

I'm prettty sure his heart is the same as everyone else's. TL;DR: it's an organ that pumps blood around his body. Unless he has an artifical heart, but would that really exonerate him of responsibility? It's his brain that made the decisions, and that almost certainly isn't artificial.

Too lazy, didn't run. What's the conclusion? Does this mean that nuclear power is awesome or awful?

We use RMsis; it's not the slickest interface in the whole world but it does everything we (medium size engineering company) want to do so far.

The people who support it are very good, and seem to be very amenable to requests for features and support.

And when the last new woman born runs our of eggs, we end up stuck with the existing population and no more humans can be born, ever. As we die due to accidents, the population dwindles to zero. Good riddance to us, I say, for being so stupid!

The old have to make way for the young. Stop desperately grasping hold of the dry, dusty moments of increasingly stretched existence. Step aside and let the next generation have their turn. Upload your consciousness into a computer, and believe the illusion that that's still you in there, if that makes you feel happier, but get your corpse underground you selfish old coot.
