Yeah.... stupid dinosaurs.

Maybe Netflix would have less people cancelling their service if Netflix themselves didn't cancel content before it gets a chance to settle in and find a fanbase. I refuse to watch a Netflix series now until it has a few seasons under its belt, and that makes me part of the problem to build a fanbase and hopefully get renewed, but the rug has been pulled out far too many times. I activate Netflix for just a few months a year during the winter season, and even that is becoming less and less.

When Netflix cancels things weeks after release, there is basically zero opportunity for a fanbase to get established.

god damn

-noob noob

you went far enough to waste your time to make TWO comments on a subject that you say you do not care about, but you clearly do because you took the time to let us know how you do not care

a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma

there was some piece of software which existed and would allow me to download the contents of my email so that I could use the applications keyboard shortcuts to read, reply and compose email. Oh and a calendar would be cool too, and a way to track todo lists...

I can't wait for the future to get here.

I have endured java written apps all these years. Insane requirements to keep multiple versions and a most horrible cludge design required when using version specific java based tools from cisco , hp, brocade. Hands down above anything else, java is the number one thing I take out with my time machine.

When he says "I understand the popularity at the moment of the Python, however this language is also based on the C language.", what he's saying is that Python is based on C.

Maybe it's time for some bat shit crazy.

So a company wants to try out some new idea/technology and with public funding is able to scale it up enough for a more serous rollout.

Succeed or fail, I'm excited that people continue to try and innovate.

It's not your tax dollars being wasted if it fails, so why not let innovation (man-made evolution) veer off in a new direction and see where it takes us.

If it had already been done, it wouldn't be newsworthy. Of course I'm not trying to discuss that. What I am commenting on is you're inability to read an article all the way through, and then comprehend the material enough to make constructive comments or critiques without ignoring some of the basic information that already exists in the article.

so yeah, again you didn't read the article, if you had you would have come across things like...

"your statement"
>> One tiny little question, the light pressure on this giant solar array, how will it be compensated? You know, the same light pressure that's supposed to drive solar sails to other stars? So, will we 3D print a reaction system to keep the panel oriented? Hmm? Oh OK, we'll just add some ion thrusters every few meters... Oh, how are you going to refuel it? More 3D printers?

"TFA" - I mean, c'mon there's a whole paragraph with link to further reading, here's a little snippit from the article.
Using a technique called gravity gradient stabilization, the bus would act as a counterweight to the huge panel.

>> So I guess the design of a fail-safe, automatically self-repairing.......

So I guess you didn't RTFA did ya now?

>> Oh sorry, so you'd be scheduling regular maintenance and repair trips? In geostationary........

Oh sorry, you couldn't be bothered to RTFA to answer your silly questions?

>> One tiny little question, the light pressure on this giant solar array, how will it be.......

One tiny little question, did ya RTFA?

>> Wait, something so large and thin would......

Wait, something so easy as RTFA is too challenging, but spouting off about engineering issues, to which I'm sure you are an expert, not so much.... Hmmm!

>> But isn't the Earth under imminent threat of being wiped out by the......

But isn't Earth under imminent threat from ignorant people who don't RTFA before spouting off??

They know that this will not solve the problem, and are waiting for you to provide them with a creative solution.

Since you haven't gotten around to supplying them with your enlightened solution, they are going to have to move forward with plan B.

Not sure what makes people think there is a magical "them" that come up with solutions, and if everyone sits around taking no action, "them" will come through for "us". Looks to me like the FAA and FBI are taking the stance that magic just isn't going solve this one, so they are trying a tactic, popular or not.\

in the end he really just likes wang
