The Koch brothers don't have a share of a Nobel prize for making a PowerPoint about climate change, nor do they pretend to tell everyone how to be more eco-friendly while zipping from venue to venue on a private fucking jet.

Apples and Oranges in this context.

Here's how you fix NASA:

1. Tell Congress to fuck off, and that they should get back to passing laws, and get out of rocket and spacecraft design. You don't need to build rocket parts in 47 states in order to go to the Moon or Mars.

2. Every President that steps into the Oval Office needs to get it through their thick politician asshat that they don't "need to make their impression upon the space agency". How is NASA supposed to finish any 10-year projects when their priorities get changed every 5 years?

Because the current government in Moscow gives a shit about what's legal?

It took Apollo flights 3 days to get to the Moon going Mach 32, and they had the ability to do course correction burns while in trans-lunar flight.

You could probably figure out how to get something from there to here at the lower speed of that railgun; it sure would not be easier, faster, nor cheaper than just launching a 1950s bomber from New Jersey.

Because clearly there is exactly no difference between shooting a robot to the moon, and then coming back with a rock or two, and sending multiple humans to the moon, having them explore a bit, and then bringing them back safely.

Which is exactly what the article is talking about doing.

Still smug now, moron?

Or, go to a building material recycler where you can find solid doors, pre-hung.

Should be with, rather than without. Damn no comment editing...

Well, for one, if you have an app on your secondary display, you get that app's menu bar on the secondary display. Each display has an independent set of virtual desktops (spaces) which you can change without affecting the other (example: display 1 has your email and chat client, display 2 has web browser. You can go to "space 2" on display 1 which has a code editor, without your web browser still on display 2.)

Also, you can now use an AppleTV as an additional display via Bonjour - easy wireless display without depending on other manufacturers and software (Intel WiDi, MiraCast, etc)

Funny, because a guy that worked at both PARC and Apple says you're wrong.

Yeah, when they bought CUPS and then hired the guy they bought it from in order to have him continue maintaining it, and then kept it completely open, they were clearly forced to do so. Oh, and CUPS clearly only runs primarily on OS X.

Are you cracked?

On slashdot, it's exactly the opposite. You seem to have forgotten that Apple is the new evil around here.

Haters don't care about little things like integrity, evidence, or consistency.

The point is that the support for multi-display hasn't changed much from 1987 until 2013's release of 10.9. It's now better than it was, and still vastly superior to Windows.

But I guess that was hard to decipher?

Does this article exist for any purpose other than fanning the flame?

Yes, Apple should probably throw some cash at the Apache foundation, but that's not why this was posted to Slashdot.

Being 100 miles away, it is likely difficult for a truck full of [assholes|explosives|fuel|supplies] to know that there is a 10.5kg tungsten lump flying at them. You can't do evasive maneuvers against something you don't know is there.

Also, bridges, runways, radar installations, and electrical infrastructure don't move a whole lot.
