There are plenty of valuable stuff we need on the asteroid belt. Going straight there from Earth would be much more difficult and expensive than launching from Mars. A self sustaining Martian colony would serve as a trade and resupply post

Until someone drills the wall, shorts the capacitor and causes a fire, while at the same time electrocuting whoever was doing the job. Capacitors need to be kept away from damage, so putting them on the foundation and sealed in concrete is

No need for any programming language in Windows 9X, just open a DOS prompt and use 'copy file.txt COM1: /B'. We used that trick back in the DOS days to print raw ASCII files on parallel (LPT1:) or serial (COM1:) devices. I&#x

Musk is even more cartoonishly villainous than MS. This is pretty much Lex Luthor against Darkseid. Unless it results in mutual destruction, doesn't matter who wins, everybody else loses. My take is that Elon is suing OpenAI because he

On the other hand, UTC-3 has 8 countries in it, which more than offsets that. Even EST (UTC-5) has a whole bunch of countries in it, including Cuba, Jamaica, Brazil, et. al.

This is especially bad in Starfield. On the galaxy map, one click sets the star as target to fast travel, but click and drag moves the map. Sometimes I actually had to hold the mouse with my left hand and tap the button with my right finger
