Yes yes, no need to grind it in .. You win, he knows !!

Ill take 2034 over ???? though.

So what you are saying is .. Worst case, absolutely worst case, its business as usual? Good enough for you, me, corporate america and the rest of the "free" world. Whatcha whining about? Still a shot at mars, chicken shit .. you could, like, you know, not sign up.

can you be sued for being a net negative for the prosperity of humanity? Sure you can .. I problary wont win though'

you guys, we guys, are fighting a war... and your suggestion is to go full-bureaucratic on your own ass? Everybody knows you never do a full bureaucratic on your own ass. Specially in times of war. Wanna count the daisies? Maybe Putin will join you on the field of forever peace love and eternal cannabis. God damned hippies.

Its a texture glitch, i am sure it will be patched in due time.

I assume you refer to ads ?

yes, conditioning of the mind in every aspect imaginable. what could possibly go wrong..

So, lets boil it down, in essense for the game of holdem, a game of incomplete information, they have shown than holdem fits in the space of P = NP ? Yea if that was the case then *that* would have been the headline. I did a little poker robotting with a coworker some years back and instead of monte-carly'ing the probability matrices we right out permutated them all so it would be a simple table lookup instead of a costly approximation each time. Data was big, many many gigs. In any event there is so much else going on, besides the numbers, at a pokertable, that unless you pair it with playerhistory, datamining and some AI your "robot" will only ever be successfull on lowstake tables.

Just trolls ... /. should really autohide anything that is voted negative AND is AC.

What sequels?

I think that planning a mission like this is about backup, redundancy, contingency upon contingency eliminating single points of failures as much as possible, and I am sure the scenario where harpoons AND the cold gas thruster both failed were not worth a tertiary backup plan. Thats what I think. But hey I bet they didnt think of "better harpoons" .. you should write them with your thoughts on the subject.

So a geostationary orbit over philae is out of the question? It wouldnt take an enourmous amount of material and a little optics to focus some photonics down on our little lander. I wouldnt be surprised if such mechanics was proposed back in the planning stages.

one plot is a dot, two plots is a statistic, so scrambling to the top of my mind is 'sabotage'. Who would stand to gain, on a larger scale, from these 'anomolies'. When is spacex'es next launch? Sure hope it is not tomorrow and sure hope they'll be checking everything an extra time or five.

Or John. John Doe. Or Smith, A. Smith. Or ......
