not true, firewalls can do wondrous things nowadays to isolate

Not lack of skill, things are very nice when you can use real addresses for everything. I worked at national lab that is still that way even now

My pet Dalek sounds like that when he has a stuffed proboscis

that sounds like...MOLE TALK! *blam* *blam!*

Sure 16 cm of borosilicate glass could do the job of holding back 1300 PSI but where is the air conditioner going to dump the heat? And people will go outside through a "lock" in a "suit" to do what on plains of hardened lava? That's a weird kind of hot loving robot's job, exploring the surface of venus.

No, some of the Soviet Venus probe lasted more than an hour, some less https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I would argue that a slashdot article with question is one way to "go check online", one may learn things that do not appear in the first couple dozen ines of a google search.

Bad news, manufacturers found some of those parts got too hot and cracked in the late 90s to mid 00s, so had to redesign some of those parts to have metal areas in them at higher cost

yes and as I mentioned some of that stuff had problems cracking with age and so manufacturers had to redesign putting metal in certain areas of those parts, e.g. Fords infamous ABS manifold problem of late 90s to about 2004

As manager of engineering group that did rapid prototyping as part of our design process I had such working for me.

Nonsense, old people with heavy industry experience (insurance, trading, e-commerce) who know the Java or C++ can make serious coin.

Also former pure developers who can bridge development and operations and architecture can make big money; that's what I'm doing and I'm over 50. Yes you have to keep current.

I was thinking of everyone should send each other 160 characters of spaces, texting silence
