    No comments huh? think the people may still be mad about the “special report” lol

    Loony, close but I don’t think it has what it takes to be the new buzz word.

    Government regulation, sounds bad but seems to be turning out to be a necessary evil. Restore regulation before the “powers that be” steal everything we have left.

  2. SB says:

    OK, deviation, you metioned “Government Mandate” regarding device power life specifications…. had to run with it!

    I saw exactly one meteor… wasn’t much of a show, but then the moon was out. Oh, and I have the sleep 10 hours and be nocturnal gene. Yay mutants!

    When will NASA admit they can no longer continue manned space flight on flakey budgets? Bring in the ESA and Russia to fund an international effort. Think of the knowledge that could have been gained from unmanned probes and orbital observatories if not for keeping the shuttle flying, and that damn silly boondoggle the ISS. It’s starting to fall apart and its mission hasn’t begun yet. And now the best they can offer is Apollo on steroids?

    Regulation didn’t stop Madoff and I doubt if a lack of regulation would have made it possible for most people to have pulled off a scam like that. Of course you have to be blinded by greed not to question a scam like that. If it looks to good to be true most likely it is.

    I think one of the biggest challenges facing the computer industry today is that you can stick a couple of gig of ram in a six year old single core machine and it will do what most people want at least as well as a quad core with sixteen gig of ram will do it.

    The only real difference is normally how many cpu cycles and how much ram are going unused.

    Video games or editing music and video are about the only things that need all that muscle.

    I use an old single core at work and work with a lot of people using these machines and the machines aren’t being pushed by anything we do. We have a couple of quad cores and I can’t tell the difference as a user.

    My favorite computer at home is a duel core with a couple of gig of ram and I’d like to be able to justify going out and buying a nice quad core with a lot of ram but if what I have or even much less than I have will do nearly everything I want just as fast buying a faster more powerful machine just seems like a stupid waste of money.

    The old machines at work are starting to fail and it may not compute to fix them rather than replace them but if it has 1.6 processor or faster and enough ram speed doesn’t seem to be an issue.

    Hi

    Could you say what was the source you had for the NASA story on giving up the 2020 timeline for getting people back on the moon? I’d like to post that on my blog, and all I can find is a lot of articles about NASA complaining that it can’t do 2020 if budgets aren’t increased, which is a bit different from actually giving up on 2020.

    As for China landing there, I very much doubt THAT – too technically challenging – although I honestly believe they’re going to be the next to ORBIT the moon! And they’ll get there in less than 10 years. Russia is looking tired too, and Europe is a mess of politics and bureaucracy, as usual, so they’re out of the running for now. Unless some global drive towards going back to the Moon emerges, which I doubt…
