Mars takes ~260 days to reach, with a payload that could theoretically bring humans...maybe 130 if we do some pretty crazy stuff. Europa takes three years minimum for a much smaller payload. Actually getting humans to Mars is already a big technical challenge, let alone living once we get there...it's going to take a heck of a lot more practical experience before we can get them to Europa.

Say what you want about the pointlessness of living off-world, but Mars is great practice. It's closer, it has more solar power available, and we can send bigger things with our current technology. Same with the Moon...great practice, but even less practical reasons to be there than Mars.

The moon is even closer and a better launch point for exploring anything in our solar system.

Much though I enjoy the multi-hundred-comment threads where we all scream at each other about politics, why is this here?

How is this 'news for nerds'? I mean, even the summary has given up on trying to even mention technology/nerdy stuff.

Just realized I have some good tech new for ya instead.

First 4 episodes of Game of Thrones current season (5) have been leaked. You can find them at your favorite torrent sites, or on usenet.

Slow News Sunday is my guess. Though the new rulers can of course be doing a check to see where people are in the political beliefs to file that info away to be used against us later.

Lol you forgot Sandy Berger the Clinton Stooge who was stuffing classified documents down his freaking pants

Really their whole administration was like a bad episode of Bewitched.

And yet, the 8 years Clinton was in office, shit was good in America. Really fucking good. Then Bush came in and fucked shit up. And shit has been fucked up since Bush was in office. The only "Change" Obama brought to office is the loosening of the Marijuana laws.

It will be nice to see a Clinton in office, someone who does give a fuck about the people also, and maybe we can end the Twenty10's in decent economic shape for the first time since the 1990's.

What corruption has she done? Going to point out that way the republicans hate the Clintons, if she did anything illegal, they would have her up on charges so quick.

The email stuff? With the NSA spying into everything, and you know she knew about it before we did, it suddenly looks smart to keep your email server private from the government.

  Benghazi was a tragedy that the Republicans used to try discredit Clinton, because she's a threat to their plans. Benghazi was horrible and the Republicans with no respect to the people that died, used to as part of their witch hunt on Hillary.

The truth is, the Republicans are scared to death of Clinton.

I certainly hope you don't take an ambassadorships under her. P.S. Funny how her brothers got that Haiti mining contract.

Ya, it's funny how when people get in positions of power they give people they know contracts and other positions of power. Too bad this is something that every administration does, so by trying to call out Hillary on it only shows how limited your knowledge is. While it may not seem fair to us, then why haven't we gotten our Senators to write a law limiting that sort of useage of that power?

In other words, this is along standing problem, longer then the last 10 years, longer then 100 years. If you don't like how the system is, then try to change it, but to use it to blame 1 person, when it's all the people who do it is just stupid.

By all means, you may vote for whomever you choose but please don't lie about it.

Hillary Clinton is one of the most corrupt politicians who has ever been on the national scene. Her job during her husband's administration was to orchestrate the harassment and character assassination of the women who were sexually assaulted by her husband.

You got an proof with that? Because what I hear is the same old bullshit I've hear republicans say since Clinton was in office. And I don't actually care much, because the sex shit with Clinton was no fucking big deal at all, it's like when you are arguing with someone and they start picking on your grammar. You have nothing else on the Clintons, 'cept this one minor sex shit and it's blown out of proportion. Fuck, the VP is way the fuck more creepy then Clinton ever was, at least Clinton has the decency to not hit on women during their husbands speech.

So unless you have some real proof of bad shit, fuck off. I'm tired of the weak excuses you people bring.

You can't pirate free apps. The question for these become; how rampant is piracy or hacking for getting the in-game stuff for free.

If you put out an app, it will get hacked. It has been this way since the 70's. Nothing has fucking changed, 'cept the Twenty somethings that do NOT know computer history at all and thinks everything is new.

If you are a developer, the app you put out will be hacked. Always has been, always will be, nothing will change that. The question is, as the developer and knowing your app will be hack, how do you respond? Do you then fuck over your paying customers by putting in draconian DRM, or do you make a program that rocks because you know the word of mouth is probably your best review system?

The choice is up to you, the developer. Do you harvest good will with your customers, or do you be a EA/Ubisoft and shit on your customers?

LA resident here. We're in a middle of a drought that's worse than the great depression dust bowl. My house is basically surrounded by kindling right now. the risk from wildfires is extraordinarily high. there were really bad fires last summer and there was a steady drizzle of ash onto the entire city. I would say that climate change is threatening my health.

No, your stupid choice to live in a Hot area that has a history of water problems.

I live in Seattle, I am not surrounded by kindling, it's nice and green around here. I choose to live in a place that doesn't have a rich problem And by rich problem, I mean have a small portion of the population wasting most the water, either on lawns, pools or stupid products like Almonds that use a large amount of water and give a better profit then real food.

See I choose not to be a dumb fuck and live in a state that is going to fall in the ocean if it doesn't burn to death before then. And because I choose better then you, I am going to make fun of you for your stupid fucking decision. Granted we did a shortage of water this year, it's not going to affect me or my neighbors at all. Why? Because we understand that there are times when having a green lawn is stupid, mainly during water shortages.

But whatever, you choose to live in LA and now you are paying the price. And by paying the price, I mean the rich are fucking you in your ass so they can use your tears to keep their lawns green.

Wow, I can't believe this is even worthy of a post.

This is bullshit, just someone looking for more money.

First off the NSA is tapped into everything, they are already spying on all of us.
Second, the NSA can hack into any computers across the world that is storing the biometric data and change the data.
Third, you rarely have spies that no one knows about, and honestly, it's easy enough to make those. You can find someone in the twenties/thirties that have never worked for the government in anything, make some fake data about them, and suddenly have a new spy. If you keep going to the military or FBI, or those sort of people for spies then yes, it a lot easier to figure out.
Fourth, It's election years.
