SABRE is pretty good compared to the card file it replaced.
SDI is not really comparable. The numbers for the orbital parameters did not add up at the time, but they had Edward Teller behind them.
You can't be sure what's in it these days, especially if it looks super professionally packaged.
My bank just said that there was "no error" when I did this after Amazon failed to deliver something last year. I imagine that Amazon makes up a good portion of their chargeback complaints now. Separately, I had my bank…
Is church/temple out of the question too? Where do people go these days?
'92 Olympic Dream Team (US) in basketball. Asking anybody to play against them was pushing the boundaries of ethics.
UFOs as such are as American as Elvis. Foreign spies can waste their time figuring out how much somebody has read into The X-Files. In our society, we can openly wonder about these things with a sense of humor. Imagine…
KDE5 Plasma is superb. I wish that it ran on OpenBSD. However I do not wish to run Wayland, D-Bus, or any sound server on an OpenBSD installation. So, I wish that it were light as twm, fvwm or OpenStep.
I do not consider logging into iCloud to be part of "finishing setting up" my computer. In fact, I would like more out-of-the-box visibility into the phoning-home that Mac OS X performs. With Xcode specifically, I think…
I think that MacOS is terrific and keeps getting better. It's well past time to include Pages, Numbers, Keynote, GarageBand and iMovie in the base install image. Also mkv, ogg, opus codecs for QuickTime. I prefer to do…
Counterpoint: Their job is to protect with the highest professionalism, indeed with their life, a democratically-elected person whose opinions and actions they may personally disagree with or even resent. It is a very…
What is objective about a law? It still comes down to judgment calls. First Amendment aside, I fear that restricting speech would result in a backlash from Neo-Nazi types, or worse, a national situation like The Gulag…
You should never do anything to make your children resent you. I vividly remember an episode from third grade, when my mother yanked me around by the hair for not doing my math homework quickly enough. A dose of LSD as…
The psychological pain (weight) of even carrying such a suicide pill/coin as part of your mission pack-out. Perhaps the person has a strong Judeo-Christian belief that God finds suicide and self-harm abhorrent. Or "Dr.…
