I don't see us living there for extended missions either. I do see the importance of what we learned and the inventions that came out of the Moon missions that have positively impacted our lives on this rock. The journey thing. What I

I'm not degreed so this is just my off the wall thinking but asteroid mining yes, definitely. I still think we need a Moon base, need to show we can run it successfully for around 2 decades then start seriously planning a Mars mission.

We aren't close to ready for Mars. We need a base on the moon.

You had better back that claim up. I've seen slow Assembly programs; operating close to the hardware is not a guarantee of better performance.

You're comparing today's Minecraft with all the bells and whistles to Minetest. The original comment about trying to extend it in C++ compared to Java is perfectly valid. It's why Java rose to power and remains. It's why

That is a wonderful site, so much information, they even had full emulators for favorite old programs and games that run in the browser. (Curse JavaScript for working so well.)

I'm liking my Nexus 6 but it feels a bit big at times so I think the trend towards 5 or 5.5 is a good thing. Not sure about the price though, my 6 would have to completely croak before I upgrade from it.

JavaScript has been around since the 90's; a quick scan of this page reveals around 2 dozen JavaScript technologies. The only solution is to remove JavaScript from all browsers and replace it with Java.
