You'll only get fireballs inside the atmosphere. In space, you'll get jets.
And bodies. As atmosphere is vented it will take the crew in that compartment with it.

who cares if you lose ten fighters at a milliion credits each if they take down a capital ship worth a hundred billion.
The pilots of the fighters? No pilots? Then it's just a missile.
Which, interestingly enough, a one-time-use, generated-on-the-fly, disposable credit card number would ALSO protect you against...
Which kinda suck for use as a recurring payment method.
The only good news in all of this is that there is no indication that the jQuery library was affected.
Kickstarter isn't a random third party. As the great-grandparent said, they're essentially assuming the role of the stock exchange - as the middleman and facilitator of the process. Thus they have an interest in seeing that the process is transparent and to some degree regulated.
I disagree. I see Kickstarter as just a middleman that facilitates the introduction between idea people seeking funding and a pooled collection of small angel investors. Like all middlemen, they take a percentage for making the the introduction if it works out, but after that they are not involved.
The issue that I have with this model is that most people throwing money at projects don't understand the amount of risk they are assuming and probably don't have the necessary background to even evaluate that risk. They just see a chance to get in early on some new game/gadget/service without realizing that their prize may never appear.
It's called 'Ask Slashdot' for a reason. What better group of people to ask than a group of geeks with diverse backgrounds? It's attitudes like yours that keep people from asking for help when they need it.
Wouldn't it be great then if Timothy would post it into the "Ask Slashdot" section?
I served papers on someone by email when I couldn't do it in person. This isn't particularly surprising.
And? Was it challenged in court and the judge found that such a process was legally binding? If not then I guess you got away with it.
wrong, proof of posting is not proof of service: someone has to sign for it.
The GP was talking about procedures in the UK. What country are you talking about? The rules are going to vary.
And, if you want to look at the causes for Visa and MasterCard's decision... the biggest single factor was almost certainly the deployment of Google Wallet, which moved NFC payment in the US from a "someday" possibility to "people are using it now". At the end of the day, Apple Pay will owe most of it's success to Google.
The biggest single factor was the shift to chip and PIN in Europe. That drove a large volume of card fraud to the US where card swipe and track 2 authentication was still the norm.
I buy damn near everything over the internet. I get exactly what I want from a competitive marketplace. Why can't I buy a car to my exact specifications direct from the manufacturer? If Amazon can deliver almost anything to my front door, why can't GM, Ford and Toyota deliver a car to my door?
In your scenario your going to hate it when you need warranty work and the dealers tell you that you need to take it to an authorized warranty repair center for directly purchased cars. BTW that service center is three states over.
The only problem i have with this tech is that there are already states having laws that say that when this kind of tech is widely available that it will be the ONLY kind of gun that it will be legal to buy
Next they will require a 3g connection and a "kill switch" that will allow the "authorities" to disable a firearm as needed. I guess that would actually be a "no kill switch".
unique for its optimistic vision of a future where men and women of all races and ethnicities, not to mention non-humans,
Obviously created by a man whose "optimistic vision of a future" includes women wearing mini skirts and gogo boots.
I remember learning to drive on my grandfather's farm in his old Willy's truck. You had to double clutch because there was no syncro-gear and if you hit a deep dip or ditch the wheel would spin beneath your hands. It was vital for the survival of your thumbs to ensure that they were NEVER curled around the steering wheel or risk having them broken or torn off completely.
I was taught the same thing in the Army while learning to drive off road vehicles at high speed. Thumbs outside the wheel always when off road.
Stellar rays prove fibbing never pays. Embezzlement is another matter.
