Wouldn't it be great if people learned foreign languages ? If people would allow foreigners to puplish in their on language ?...
Yeah too much to ask, I guess.
IMO everyone should be allowed to puplish in the language of their choice, so long as they do it in the privacy of their own home.
Or during an eclipse.
It's a pity Neil Armstrong did not explain about the remark he made to Mr.Gorsky.
It's a pity you can't afford a computer that uses proportional fonts.
If we had told these men that it was near certain death: that there was almost no chance of survival whatever but we might learn something from their ashen corpse - it would not have made any difference. They were ready to GO. They would have strapped in with a smile on their lips. Once upon a time we were made of sterner stuff.
Actually, I suspect that the fraction of the population who would sign up for a job as a test pilot has been pretty constant since the invention of the airplane.
The notion of "the right stuff" is just propagandistic idol-making. Governments love to offer the public a hero.
Indeed. If Osama bin Laden hid on the Moon you would be there by now... for about the same money and with fewer people killed in the process.
I doubt it. Only tiny amount of the USA's post-9/11 security spending went toward I'm gonna git that bastid!
Most of it went toward pointless wars and security theatre.
You need to work on your tail-recursion.
I'll get on that as soon as I finish working on my tail-recursion.
Case in point: Obamacare
I giggle when I hear it called "Obamacare", because he didn't exactly work up a sweat pushing for it.
And what little he did do, was almost entirely after the Democrats in Congress had already caved on practically every point, to appease Republican committee members who didn't vote for it even after they got what they wanted.
Democrats are stupid. If they had 1/3 of a clue they could have destroyed the Republican party after 2005.
Isn't that reason enough? What happened to ambition, curiosity, and doing things "because it's there?"
Actually, the US space effort was motivated by "because Sputnik's there".
Don't worry; it's just a matter of time until someone provokes our latent inferiority complex again.
ahh, but did he forgo sex to be a better inventor?
No, that was long before the invention of Slashdot.
It should be BAD-Dan, as in "Be A Dork".
Don't worry if you're a kleptomaniac; you can always take something for it.
