I don't care what tech level you're at or what you look like: there's still an m in the kinetic energy equation. Whatever your transportation goals are, they get more difficult the heavier your vehicle is.
Perhaps they've found some way to produce energy from mass.
When Curiosity was in the planning stages, 2gb for a comp was a major improvement. At some point they had to freeze the specs. If they had tried to keep up with Moore's Law, I doubt we'd have a functioning vehicle.
As far as bureaucracy goes, I hate it as much as the next person, maybe more. I wish humanity could come up with something better to ensure the success of complex projects.
It's a dog eat dog world.
Interesting studies. I gotta go take a nap, er, 1st sleep.
... it's pretty interesting to witness scientific findings, with all rigor and instrumentation techniques etc. rediscovering something your grand-grandmother could probably have told you.
Yeah, every now & then something spectacular comes out of studies of "common sense" things that everybody could have told you. I can't think of any at the moment 'cause I'm too tired.
It's called an analogy, genius. How much of your brain did you have removed?
And it's certainly an analogy that would connect w/ the
Disproof of the AC's hypothesis. Do a gedankenspiel comparing the AC's brain and a disk drive.
Throw a feather at it, it won't break.
Hit it w/ a sledgehammer, it will break.

Greek, thanks. That's the great thing about numerology (and asstrology)...one can make up whatever one pleases. Nero was pre-ANSI, though, so no ASCII back then. EBCDIC probably.
"ASCII silly question, get a silly ANSI"
Actually, it seems that most historians believe that 666 referred to Nero. Remember the scope of the New Testament. They expected the 2nd coming to be "right around the corner...all the signs are there". In the meantime, the faithful needed to be warned about Nero and what he was doing. Apparently 666 encodes "Nero" in Hebrew, or something like that. They were big into numerology back then.
I went to Wiki and found no ref to ipad or ipod in it, but found a ref link to AppleInsider...

Corning's third-gen Gorilla Glass could be bound for next iPhone, iPad
By AppleInsider Staff
Glassmaker Corning on Thursday announced Gorilla Glass 3, a stronger, more scratch resistant version of the current substrate used in the display of Apple's iPhone and iPad lines of mobile devices.
Gorilla Glass? I don't think Apple would do that. A broken screen just gives the tekkiddies an excuse to buy the latest iteration.
... but try threatening people with a netbook or a Mac and they just laugh. When they see my G40 whistling through the air they fucking run.
Hah! Ninja Notebook.
Yes! Dondi! I barely remember that. As a childster I got my hands on a really old copy. Fascinating.
Good stuff. Well drawn.
Terrific! Doonesbury for the right! Hope they don't use big words.
