When the astronauts get out and begin their work, they can flip a switch to turn the vehicle into an autonomous robot that goes off to undertake projects on the planet.
This is how the sequel to "Dude, where's my car?" begins.
I find Slashdot far more tolerable with Funny set to -5 as well.
Mod parent +5 funny. I have mod points, but I can only use one on this post. It's going to take about 10 to under-rate and +funny this post the way it's begging to be.
Please! For the love of irony, please, mod parent +5 funny! Think of the children!
The truth is the 3½-inch, 1.44 megabyte floppy - the disk that made it big - has always defied logic. It's not floppy for a start. The term was a hangover from its precursor, the 5¼-inch floppy, which had a definite lack of rigidness about it. However, its smaller successor held 15 times as much data.
1) so, what is the proper term for this then? "hard disk"? ARGHHH
2) 15 times as much data in a 3.5"? ARGHHHHH
ok, fine, i didn't stop reading. i only continued reading, but irritatedly.
One cow can produce about two kilowatts of electricity, enough energy to power four milking machines.
The real question is: Does it make the Milk tough?
No, the real question is... how does 2kw of electricity compare in units of bio-electricity? Say, to a 120 volt battery that is capable of producing 25,000 BTUs of thermal energy?
And if it compares favorably, what would be the costs of constructing a virtual reality universe to occupy the cattle's minds - a universe modelled after the late 20th century, arguably known to be the peak of cattle civilization?
'"We will tell you that in the world of the exciter, the holy grail is to get a universal design that can generate all the waveforms that you could possibly imagine," says Falco.'
Its pretty clear what they mainly want: Inject any analog waveform in any band to confuse radar with arbitrary objects. If the enemy radar gets a software upgrade which detects you last attempt, you just change your software.
Sweet. Sounds like we're only one step away from: "remodulate the waveform of the main deflector dish! Off phase of the Romulan..err, Russian signal by 29.5 degrees to create a simulated beta-tachyon pulse!"
Those same five paragraphs in Century Gothic 12-pt take up 12.75" vertically. That 15% increase in space could easily lead to savings in ink being offset by additional paper waste.
Ok, sure, we can save the trees, but then we're back to the first problem of using too much ink. Ink doesn't grow on trees you know. Won't somebody think of the squids? ANYBODY?
I hear that square-wave signals look WAY better when they travel through way-overpriced copper rather than inexpensive copper. You can totally tell the difference!
Why stop there? I only use copper mined from a small mine in the amazon that has been blessed by a local shaman. You think your picture looks better on expensive copper? Mine comes from the freaking amazon. Like acai berries. Ever heard of them? Yeah.
My TV signal is freaking sweet.
An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
