while i can this form an emotional point of view I would call this highly unprofessional. nevertheless hollywood does everything to abolish itself producing only comic/computer game adaptions or se-/prequels.

just the next 4 billion years- seriously currently there is no sensible motive to pump vast amounts of cash into space colonialization as we have much more urgent matters at hand.

educate me please. when did we do some serious space travel in the last decade(s)? and i don't think the hop to moon or living in a tiny space station comes anywhere near the experience we need for real missions.

well i think that is only due to latest history, but take Nazi party of WWII for example: nazi is short for national sozialist; NSDAP for nationalsozialistische deutsche arbeiter partei (national socialist german labor party)

funny thing is I don't think that the tools or libs are still far from perfect: - WPF tooling is severely lacking in regard to databindings. - libs such as collection classes were far from java standards when release- there is even a p

I highly doubt that. we have zero experience with space travel so far. you can't estimate the costs here as there is some serious research necessary to build something that justifies the investment with a high enough chance of success.

exactly my thoughts. i think the effort and money would be better invested in earth itself: affordable renewable enery sources pose one of the greatest challenges of our time. in my opinion all money poured into mars missions is a waste and

no it does not. if we fubar earth, we certainly cant survive on a sufficient level on another planet.

I simply cant believe that to be true. a mission to mars must be much more complex than one to moon for example. and much, much more costly- no linear but exponential correlation I would assume.

by verinus 11y ago
even a planet wide catastrophe would leave earth more hospitable than mars. there is just no sane argument for living on mars. a nice fantasy? definitely- I love scifi but from a rational point of view its just not desirable.

and i think that spain is responsible for that and not the euro. if you had your own currency inflation would have increased the prices of all imported goods and thus diminishing the purchasing power...i can remember when italy hat its lira

thanks for your input. just to correct a misinterpretation: I did not want to imply, that public sector jobs are unneeded jobs. I just called to cut the jobs not needed to run the country because i red a hand ful of articles stating that it

from what I have read and seen lots of young Greeks are leaving the country. German language education has soared during the beginning of the crisis- not sure if the anti-german press coverage of the Greek press has changed that...

i thought that prior to syriza election there was a positive development in the greek economy?

i have read nowhere that syriza wanted to collect the taxes people were owing the state. i have read nowhere that syriza wanted to cut state spending by reducing the unneeded government employed workforce. i have read nowhere that syriza w

i always ask: why should european tax payers pay for a greek state when the greeks themselves dont pay their taxes?

by verinus 11y ago
this is wrong. in the Eurozone the target value for inflation rates was 3%. problem was that while most countries got over 3% Germany was much lower, thus damaging the relative competitiveness... recently the euriborturned negative- the rea

and my take on people arguing for basic minimum income have not understood the human nature. communism was doomed from the beginning as they were removing all incentives to do something useful in the long therm.

when it comes to utopian ideas i would prefer the right to work, to get a job to handing out cash to everybody. my reason: handing out cash destroys the incentives to do better and improve...and not all necessary jobs are actual fun to do a

i understand what the parent comment does, but i beg to differ. i think the article very clearly states some valid arguments and the user in the parent comment fails to provide arguments countering those.

by verinus 11y ago
you fail to provide any valid counter argument. from a naive standpoint i would call apple's point hypocrit, from a more cynical I'd call it an attack on the business of a competitor (while using the services provided by the same
