Read the reviews... Beats might be the Hipster headphone du jour, but on the quality vs price curve, it doesn't work out. Sure, if you want to look "hip" and "happin'n" and "young, dumb, and full of cum", buy Beats. Or you could buy a decent pair of headphones.

The real question is how low will Timothy go to place Product Placement AstroTurf on the Slashdot front page... And how many of his Flying Chimps will he call in to mod me down?

With search engines, you simply start out with a simple "global" question, and narrow it down. If you can't ask the "big question" and narrow it down based on search results, that you really don't know what you're asking in the first place.

This trend is not just with the "Ask Slashdot". Dice decided that they wanted to expand the Slashdot Audience to the variety store magazine rack PCmeg crowd - Slashdot Beta is a part of that project. It's all about maximizing page-views before flushing the whole thing down the toilet.

I've been fucking your mother, and we've been talking about throwing you out of the basement so we can make it into a sex dungeon. What do you think?

Try it and find out?

On a different note, I notice that absolutely no national news (besides Wired) is covering this, so what's the point?

By the way, yes, I very possibly had enough time to do these things, as I joined the Air Force in 19-fucking-85.

Have a nice day.

Part of me is happy to see NASA doing this kind of development.

On the other hand, I suspect that some version of SpaceX's Dragon will carry men into space long before Orion.

Ah, but you have no idea what kind of jet I plan for (or for that matter if it's even a jet, because before now, I haven't said), or what my background with the Air Force is.

For example, it is very possible that before retiring from the US Air Force, I could have been an Engineer on the C-141 and then a Loadmaster on the C-17 after the C141 went away (the C-17 does not have Engineers, computers took care of that). It's very possible that through that experience, I have a great deal of knowledge that applies directly to C-17 mission planning. It's possible that in addition to my database experience post-Active Duty Air Force, I spent a significant amount of time in various capacities with the Operations Group with a particular Reserve Wing before moving to Active Duty Current Operations (otherwise known as the "Barrel") as a civilian on the Active Duty side.

Quite frankly, your comments show your complete ignorance about how flying wings operate, how missions are generated, and the different pieces that fit into the mission planning pie.

I know you're trying to imply I'm full of shit, but you're only making yourself look more like a completely ignorant idiot. Such is to be expected from "Anonymous Cowards" such as yourself.

I said mission planner. Not pilot. Clearly you are an idiot.

And the judge will allow the search and seizure.

Folks, illegally obtained evidence is allowed after the illegal search all the time . It is *VERY* rare for a judge to throw out evidence that was illegally obtained.

I used to be a Database Admin. But for the last 8 years, I've been a mission planner for the US Sir Force.

I'm not sure what this has to do with your argument, though.

That's like asking, "Hey, what's the problem with letting the garbage pile up, having 6 cars up on blocks, and well, that heavy traffic from my crack sales? it's not in your yard..."
