Comment You can now buy Stephen Hawking parts (Score 4, Interesting) 100

Took up laser eye tracking pointing devices & maybe a large-font/maybe Dvorak keyboard. I'd try but avoid a webcam solution-- they tend to be more pain than they're worth but you can't beat the price. Alternatively, simply take the mouse apart & superglue in a lead weight.

1). Question EVERYTHING 2). Question authority 3). Elaborate on how to do #2 responsibly but also stress its importance for the rights of humanity 4). Tell her to push for self-betterment & happiness, through whatever path she may choose 5). If she succeeds, tell her she's responsible for at least trying to help better humanity, another species, or life in general

Not for mars & definitely not since the soviets started not being dicks. Have you LOOKED at NASA's leadership, funding, projects? PROJECTS? Once the ISS deorbits SpaceX'll be the only reputable thing we have, unfortunately. I'd like to remind you that the Space Shuttle Program was supposed to be shuttling TENS OF PEOPLE to HUNDREDS POPULUS SPACE STATIONS WE"RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE BY NOW.

Replacement memory, batteries, HDD's for the 20% that approach EOL from overuse around this time, plus the labour to clean out all the fans. If they didn't factor this in, half their fleet's going to be dead within 3 years. This can still be a venture of savings, just not what they expect.

There are 2 Acer C710's in the house right now. My own spec-upped one w/ a custom seabios booting directly to ubuntu, & my little brother's friend has a stock one. I bolt in all OMG go to the app store go to the app store! You can download Google Play! He's all what's Google Play? "The app store!"

Comment I have a story to tell (Score 3, Interesting) 462

My little brother had a gig at an auto rental place built into the side of a hotel. Once, they had to pick up a punk concert booker from the airport & they got pulled over by the 5-0 PO. There goes the $9K USD roll he needed to book bands in the city. They may have said something about picking it up from the evdience locker in a few months or something?
