I'd love to see Google+ turn into a LinkedIn and Facebook killer. I just have no use for Google+ at the moment. I don't really like the tiles display and would prefer a list. The YouTube integration doesn't bother me at all b

YES, these panels are awesome and I've put them on 2 full walls of my office. The price for the 8' x 4' whiteboards: $13. Great value. You can have them cut the panels at the store into 2 x 4 foot sections if you don't h

Latency is time taken to travel the distance (between the client and server). Look at http://eyes.nasa.gov/dsn/dsn.html , for Voyager the latency would be 0.74 days. For the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter it would be 6.6 m

Can you add some more filters? I strongly prefer to purchase items that are either sold directly from Amazon or "Fulfilled by Amazon" items if at all possible. Part of the reason is that it seems like my name and address (and poss

Those are really awesome features! HTML5 is really great with these features such as geolocation, media, localStorage, camera and the great mobile APIs like tapping into sensors, vibrate, even battery, all with very simple javascript. Haha,

I was thinking that would be an issue but I wouldn't mind using the other operating system as a non-cellular. It would probably be possible to pass data between them or even have both operating systems pulling down just data and only 1

The KickSat was very small, about half the size of a desktop computer. There are satellites that are bus-sized and have antennas as large as a football field (5-6 tons and 350 foot antennas) floating around up there, those are the billion d

2-3 years worth of Russian engines, but the contracts were for 5+ years, so if Russia banned exports of rockets to the US then we could be screwed without SpaceX or scrambling to produce our own engines at a much greater cost (most likely).

I've never thought about that part but you are completely correct, and that is amazing and smart of them to do. The legs and computers are probably not too much more than a bolt-on kit that adds some weight to the rocket, the rocket wi

It seems like the $60 million is just to get SpaceX certified so that they can launch military satellites. Each launch will probably cost far more until their grasshopper system gets used. "Musk, 42, ranked 133rd on the Bloomberg Billi

You should always prepend variables, IDs, and classes with something unique to the project or page you're working on, it's just good practice. I've even used my initials on occasion. I normally do a short acronym for my proje
