Yep. Please keep flying over us.

One of the restrictions was that Artemis had to be build with off-the-shelf technology. That's why they're using shuttle boosters, and apparently, Outlook.

Another bit of added value is having all the versions of the paper out in the open. Future researches can see the effect of peer-review itself: what did the authors put in or leave out for approval?

I remember reading a quote from a researcher who said if you want a copy of a paywalled article, e-mail one of the authors and he'll probably send it to you. If the authors are in academia (most likely), you can find their e-mail addresses from the university website.

The play was "R.U.R," which stood for "Rossum's Universal Robots."

I welcome correction from anybody who knows more about the play or isn't too lazy to look it up.

Watching the video, I was thinking I wouldn't put it close enough close my laptop or reach my hands.

And the vim users laugh and laugh.

I've done it on occasion. I prefer reading to listening, but I've gotten behind on books I was reading for a book club, so I would listen to the audio-book during my commute and read when I was home. This service would've been pretty handy.

The book was in the public domain, and there was a LibriVox recording, so it didn't cost me anything. I'm pretty cheap, so I wouldn't pay a lot for it.

The article says 73% of trade books are dead tree.

I'm curious what percentage of book sales are indy-published works, which are mostly e-books.

Regulations on "therapy" and "counseling" vary. It's not considered practicing medicine everywhere. If those are regulated, you can always call yourself a "life coach."

There were pics of the camouflage in action. You just couldn't see them.

Just get an iron-on for the "NO" symbol, the red circle with a slash, and put it over the disagreeable logo.

They've had coin-operated heaters in England for years.

When the Spanish started taking massive amounts of from the New World, Europe experienced inflation. Aluminum was a precious metal until it was figured out how to extract it cheaply. Nothing is safe!

No, it can behave in unpredictable ways. Hell, code I write does that, it it would never make anybody think it was conscious. (That doesn't keep me from yelling at it like it was, though.)
