Pro-tip: Everybody is 100% guaranteed to die.

You know what's really sad? The USA spent $1 trillion on the war in Iraq. How many Mars colonies does that buy you?

Having your brand attached to four funerals is *outstanding* publicity when the funerals are those of the first 4 people on Mars. You're naive to think otherwise. Imagine an alternate universe where Coca-Cola put the first man on the Moon. Even if they were stranded there Coca-Cola is in every history book in the world until the end of time.

One problem: woodpeckers also peck in order to communicate and claim territory. The kid made a guess and got lucky on part of it. He did not make further observations or improve on his theory. He blurted something out which was half correct and his teacher did nothing to improve his answer. Where is the guidance? I would have asked the child why he thought that and how could we be sure and why else might the woodpecker be pecking at the wood? There's no critical thinking there; no learning.

"It's unlikely they's [sic] want to build an entire car themselves"

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that that's exactly what Apple wants to do.

In this construction it would be "fewer" not "less."

Headline should read "Thanks to Dijkstra's warning, GOTO in practice not harmful."

Also implies that it's in my pocket when I'm about to go for a run and it most certainly isn't. They're too big, too heavy, and too fragile to take with me when running. They flop around in your pocket (if you even have a pocket) and they get covered in condensation. A case won't help because it only adds to the weight and condensation occurs inside the case anyway.

What's the problem? I often have my 2 year old toddler housesit when my 98 year old grandfather would otherwise be home alone. It works well. If anyone asks I just tell 'em the big one is watching the little one.

Why do you need the ticket to dream though? You can daydream all you want for free.

For every character that's added to the Marvel Cinematic Universe you get one more reason to ask "Why doesn't "X" get off his ass and help out?" For example, what is Thor doing during any of the Captain American movies? He doesn't even physically have to be there; just blink your eyes and the bad guys disappear. Marvel is for children.

I would have agreed with you but the current enemy doesn't care if he gets "nuked." You can't reason with them and death isn't a deterrent but a reward.

I think he means "quashing dissent."

Seems like this is more of a PR move. Netflix grabs a few headlines courtesy the MSM and Cuba gets Netflix in theory but not in practice.

You're right. That *is* the reality. So why is this Ubuntu phone trying to pretend that it isn't? Maybe this approach would work if Internet access was ubiquitous and cheap. Unfortunately it's portioned out normally in packages of less than a GB a month and costs a fortune.
