I agree. (Of course Mars is just an example.) Inexpensive structures will be useful in lots of applications. I wonder if there might be ways to do something similar in micro-g, such as nearby or built onto a small asteroid?

I think you hit the nail on the head! Oh, sorry... But yeah, lots easier to skim slop with practice. Finally I noticed how much there is.

OMG, yeah, that made me laugh. Then cry.

I think the argument for autonomous is that human intervention is, generally, wrongly rather than rightly. At this point, I won't agree or disagree, but it's getting more interesting all the time.

I expected this to happen a few years ago, but I think I was over optimistic. Now, who knows? Maybe it will finally start to make a difference.

Unfortunately, if you make (or are born with) enough resources, you might skate for quite a while. Eventually you might get a lot of fines and even some jail time, but afterwards, some people just take their chances and drive anyway.

I know I'm just paranoid, but when I see LG and these big advertising companies taking bad press from Gamers Nexus, I can't help but think the reporters need to be concerned about their safety.

Love these articles. Need a little more cash, a little more time. A little drop in ram prices...

It's hard to write this, but before my grandmother died about 45 years ago, it felt like she'd lost almost all her memories, but was easy to take care of. She was in her late 80's. My mom & aunt took yearly turns keeping

Wow! That's in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon now. Xe-124, half-life 1.1 * 10^22 years. That's crazy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LWN.net I was guessing Linux World News, but TIL it was Linux Weekly News. But currently, they say it's just LWN, a tech news site, etc.

OK, sounds workable. I'm still bothered by that data being available on a child's phone. I guess we'll see what people decide.

My dream: "Good evening, sir. May I take your coat?" "Dinner will be ready in about 20 minutes. Your guests said they will be arriving very shortly" "May I serve you a drink while you relax in the sitting room?&quot

In 1974 (about) I was at a Greyhound terminal in NY City. The large, attended restroom was almost all pay stalls, except for one free stall, and I really did not want to use that one.

A really nasty smell would get me out fast. Can't imagine any use for the timer, unless you're trying to estimate the remaining oxygen.

I get people want to protect their kids. But I don't agree with age verification. If people can't figure out parental controls, maybe they can buy a phone plan that has it already set up in advance. We don't need laws for thi

Wow, that's gorgeous! I hope the other poster isn't right about violating ordinances.

Yup, pretty sure I've seen the same sorts of things using Asian characters.

The painting "restoration" at the end of the article is hilarious! (OMG I hope it's just a joke.)

That's absolutely my thought too. When watching the vids, I remembered talking (mostly text chat) in MMORPG's 20 years ago. Even when we started using Skype, etc., chatting was frequently short, slang, and quick info. Like, "

OK, I agree. FYI, the pic is Royal Robbins ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Robbins ), who was kind of a hero to some of my climbing buddies back in the 70's.

Whew, absolutely! I love the line near the end of the article: "So in the end, I was down 10€ in domain fees, there was sadly no bug bounty (I thankfully didn't get my door kicked in at least)." Makes me cringe, imagining wha
