The NASA's decision to support SpaceX with money and expertise is a step in the right direction. NASA (and Roscosmos) should delegate to private companies all of the operations in LEO. They should focus their efforts on…
So did I. But, I think, doing dangerous stunts like that is just a small part of their daily duties.
If only my work is as important as his is! You can say that Knuth went of the grid to accomplish something extraordinary, but I did it once I've realized that my life is actually mine to live and that the world would…
Can we still save the term "life hacker"? For me, that'd be someone without a cellphone. That would be me. I don't own a cellphone since 2004. I've got tired of being constantly available (and disrupted), so I ditched…
Elon Musk is a legend. ... and an inspiration! I'm done with CRUD-ing my life away. It's time to tackle some hard problems.
Falcon 9 is in Orbit! Hell yeah!
What exactly is the author's conclusion? To ask more questions? It seams to me that in a post named X-vs-Y you should arrive at some sort of conclusion. Say, X is the way to go or something like that. I'm not a db geek…
As for mutual hatred, many people lost their families in the war, and obviously many Serbs were part of the aggression, so the relationship is no wonder. The hatred dates well before the 1990ies. See this:…

I think it's in society's best interests to roll these people up. I have absolutely zero qualms about taking people off the chess board that think it's a great idea for everyone to pile into the van and visit the bomb…

I think that the end users you're referring to are just a minor subset of the end users I had in mind. Let me give you an example of an average end user. This guy calls the customer support (via skype) and complains…

Sure, compared to some other rifles it's not as precise, but I can shoot you in the head from a distance of 150 m - and I'm not exactly Thomas Beckett. There were guys in my ex-platoon who could shoot you in the eye.…
Although, I'm still with Jeff regarding the importance of coding, I want to thank you for clarifying your position and the order of events. Happy hacking.
