I'd like to see the settlement and methods for refueling a return rocket all done with robots. Once the mission has been successfully completed robotically, then start sending people in the next launch window.

Yes he has kids. His kids are even worse than file sharers. His kids copy other peoples work and sell it as their own.

You can also do a Google search for Nick Simmons plagiarism and you'll get lots more on the story.

This will happen in my lifetime, we aren't there yet but it is coming.

That blog is awesome. Although he doesn't every mention why all those characters would be mirrored. Tattoo artists sketch the proof on paper and then press it onto the skin leaving the mirror of whatever they are about to ink. Apparently most tattoo artists aren't smart enough to realize that they would need to do this technique twice in order to keep the characters from being mirrored on the canvas(skin).

Also, as someone who has worked on the technical side of the a large telco's billing department; I can guarantee that it was in fact a mistake and not malice. Our billing system constantly had errors. We weren't as large as Verizon, but we did have to issue refunds of maybe $100,000 every couple of months. It was usually do to some regulation and taxes being improperly applied. Telco billing changes so much so often it is hard to build a billing system that can change to any and all ways the government decides to regulate and tax it. Also if you add a new switch to your network it can log and parse billing files differently causing an error similar to what is being described by Verizon.

So as someone who as actually worked on Telco billing systems, I'm on the "it was an accident" side.

You mean like Y2K? As I recall it become a non-issue because people fixed it, and the places it didn't get fixed in time didn't cause as many problems as people thought it would. The IPv6 transition isn't any different. Once it gets in the way of business it will become priority number one and then teams will be assigned to fix it. Also anyone who has an IPv4 address isn't even affected by the transition, it only affects new people trying to register. It won't be an issue until after all addresses are used and then it won't be an issue until there is enough new and usable content on IPv6 domains. Only then will it be enough of a priority for businesses and consumers to switch to IPv6.

I remember the last time I flew on an airplane. I was flying back from China and had a huge duffel bag full of tai-chi swords and other arms. We carried them all through the airport. Then again the year was 1998 and people weren't batshit insane.

No it was a fine example. The same person could have an airplane land on their house and the person swerving from debris from your wreck could have just as easily had to swerve from an animal or piece of tire from a semi truck. Speed and safe driving do not exclude each other. It is amazing how even though more people are driving traffic accidents and fatalities are dramatically decreasing year after year.

If you want a better example, try growing one marijuana plant in your back yard, using a vaporiser to ingest it on the first day of a holiday where you will be home, not driving anywhere for a week and tell me how that is wrong? If you can tell me that is wrong then I hope you've never had any alcoholic beverages ever in your life.

I left him a million supporters...
