Just for the record, the "Obamaphone" program has a name. It's called the "Lifeline Assistance Program" and was started in the 1980s by...Ronald Reagan. It has nothing to do with Obama.

I'm all for those guv'mint subsidized chastity belts.
Yeah, but the trick is figuring out a way to get the Duggars to wear them.
When people talk about "we haven't returned to the moon" [bfy.tw], it refers to the end of the Apollo program.
So, the trips we've made to the moon SINCE the Apollo program (the most recent was in 2013), just don't count? Why is that?
Further, you apparently posted that "Let Me Google That For You" link without looking at any of the search results that Google provided you. The first link is to a Quora discussion about manned space travel, the second is a CNN article about whether we still need to have men on the moon.
So are you suggesting that only manned missions count as space exploration?
But then... your somewhat hastily provided Google resultsreally start to get interesting:
We get a YouTube video about extraterristrials, two pages from "Above Top Secret" and a website that suggests, "NASA is hiding a very dark secret from us" and that's why we haven't been to the moon. Then there's a link to a young adult Transformers novel on Google books and then a site called "Educating Humanity" which tells us the reason we haven't sent men to the moon is...aliens.
The next time you think to post a "Let Me Google That For You" page, you might want to actually check the links it provides to make sure they don't make you look like a complete schmuck.
I reallize the a person is going to take what the market will pay them, but it is seriously difficult to imagine that they are worth that much.
Then you really won't want to read about David M. Zaslav, from the Discovery Network and The Learning Channel (former home of the Duggar family and Honey Boo Boo) who's total compensation in 2014 was...$156 million!

It is good to be an oligarch.
The fact that we went to the moon in "fucking 1969" is exactly the problem: it was a colossal waste of money. And the reason we haven't returned is the same reason: it still would be a colossal waste of money.
Um, we DID return, and multiple times.
Do you have any of your facts straight or do you just type with the seat of your pants?
First, you believed Columbus' voyages were "privately financed" and then you think we only went to the moon once. Give us a reason why anything else you say should be taken seriously if you can't get basic facts right.
For example, Columbus' Voyage was privately financed
And where do you think Queen Isabella got that money? She wasn't a tech billionaire. The funding came from the Spanish Royal Treasury. That means Spanish peasants paid for it and spoils of war paid for it and outright theft paid for it.

You think that solid gold throne Queen Elizabeth sits on when she's wearing her Imperial Crown that contains 2,868 diamonds, 273 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, and 5 rubies was paid for by the money that the House of Windsor made through honest labor?
danger is that the US government is going to interfere with private space exploration through ridiculous regulations and restrictions.
That US government you speak of derisively got us to the moon and back in fucking 1969. While the mighty private sector is barely replicating what the Mercury Program did over half a century ago. It appears John Galt is not only unoriginal, but he's kind of a fuck-up too.
Anyone who argues against things that people didn't say is wasting their own time. You are one of those people.
That is true, I am wasting my time, since you don't even understand what you are saying, you think there is a consensus, but you don't know what that consensus is.
If you understood what there is consensus on, then you would be more interesting to talk to. Instead you're just ignorant to talk to.
Make it 440Hz; then I can tune my piano from it.
You can try tuning middle A to 480Hz, which is a harmonic of 60Hz... but in practice this does not lower the noise floor when multitracking, and sounds like poop.
Why do you use a pejorative to describe
Awww, Pookie
If that isn't the case then its a broken business model.
That simply is not true.
The viability of the business model isn't how many servers you have to buy to be a cloud
Gouge enough, and it's profitable. Don't gouge enough, and then it's a broken business model.
Pretty much like anything hired as a service.
I think it should be written like:
Cloud. Boom.
Drives Sales. Boom.
For Physical servers. Boom.
Throw in some wikiwiki noises, a phat beat, and some sampling, and you've got a hit record.
Put another way: if you get a degree in computer science, or you are self-taught using common resources, you probably have a skill set that reflects that reflects the bare minimum that a company will accept and you have a skill set that the market is flooded with.
If you have a CS degree from a decent university, you're competing with entry-level grads who just barely took an eight-week-course in programming from some coding bootcamp.
Somehow those guys manage to find jobs, and a CS degree is already more skilled than them.
Scientists will study your brain to learn more about your distant cousin, Man.
