Comment: Bored in orbit ??? (Score 2, Insightful) 464

I'll likely remain Earthbound for my entire life yet I usually find plenty to do before I'm tempted by mass media. Spare time or not, I can't imagine being so bored during a relatively short Shuttle mission that I'd want to fire up a movie. Instead, why not grab a camera and inspire other people who won't ever get the chance to orbit our planet.

Time to Merge the Sirius & XM Infrastructure->

Lexor writes "Now that Sirius and XM have finalized the merger, it's time to focus on the problems of limited bandwidth:

"There's the loud imaging spots played on most of the "mainstream" music channels. There's the tight playlists. There is the (perhaps mostly unnecessary) DJ yammering on music stations. And worst of all for the tech geek, there is that vicious digital compression, ruining any stereo imaging and nuking masterpieces into monstrosities by way of digital manipulation."

This blogger's solution: Merge the technology as well as the companies, and replace all of those obsolete radios stuck on one system or the other."

In reality, generating energy by nuclear fission exposes mankind's gross negligence.""
