Not really. Considering that the Martian atmosphere is something like 0.5% of the thickness of earth's, while the gravity is only lower by a little over 60%, it would take so much energy that it's really not possible with our current energy budget for spacecraft.
However, blimps or even zeppelins would be damn near ideal because of low gravity. Simpler and cheaper, too.
Of course, you could mean that technology will push the price of fixing hunger so low that a relative minority of charitable individuals could solve it, which I would find believable.
That is indeed what I mean.
By the time we have the technology to extend a human life past 150, I don't think feeding the planet's going to be a major issue. Of course, it shouldn't be a major issue now, but that's another topic entirely.
Greenpeace. I might have known.
A wise man said that the only way to save the Amazon jungle is to spread nuclear waste all over it. I say he was right.
Considering how comparatively well the environment is doing near Chernobyl, I'm inclined to agree.
There are people that oppose ITER? I have never heard this before.
inventor of the geosynchronous satellite
Actually, that was Arthur Clarke.
Not to mention that Argentina is hardly third world.
Some years back it was quite tricky to get working in distributions that didn't pre-configure it, required equal proportions of skill and dumb luck. If you stuck to the more user friendly stuff like ubuntu, mint, etc. it's likely you never would have experienced issues. I remember a great deal of frustration before finally just going back to alsa with arch. Damn thing was impossible...
But, like the former difficulty of wifi, it's mostly a distant memory. Mostly...
You ought to be able to see that from a long way off if it's pointed at you.
Yeah, but directly?
The problem with that, probability-wise is that space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space, listen...
If you could reason with religious people, there would be no religious people.
From the article you linked to.
It was recovered in 1900–1901
Babbage died in 1871, before these were discovered.
Babbage and Turing would like to have some words. Though I'll not deny Zuse was a big contributor.
Hahahahahaha! Oh, you were serious? Let me laugh even harder!
When the result of fracking in your backyard is making your drinking water flammable, they're damn right to not want it there.
I'm just saying that it's a bit early to call the 9600 an obsolete piece of shit when, despite what you have convinced yourself as I doubt you own one, it runs newer games fine on medium settings (though admittedly, gamebroyo isn't that intensive). Besides obviously low end cards, I think it's a stretch to call anything in the DX10 generation obsolete.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
