“What happened?” said Hollis a minute later.

Not sure why I bother, but...

Seems just open and transparent policy to me. Admitting things are difficult isn’t a sign of impending failure, it’s showing what the launch tech is like.

“Mark Zuckerberg’s $95 million internet satellite”

This all seems pretty professional to me.

For the first time since the absolutely insane-looking anomaly (technically, SpaceX still won’t call it an explosion) that incinerated a rocket and maybe a good chunk of that rocket’s launch pad on September 1st, Elon Musk took to twitter to vent about his very, very bad day:

Freak accidents at filling stations do happen.

Yeah I feel like everyone is trying to turn this into an embarrassing situation of some sort for Space X. This is space travel we’re talking about here. Even though we’ve gotten better at it, there’s always significant risks but what’s important is learning from the accidents and not repeating them twice.

Vent? Seems pretty level-headed to me.

It’s too bad Gizmodo can’t just publish cool stuff like this without adding its fear-mongering, progressive spin to it. These images are really amazing in their own right. Shame on you for leveraging this for your own personal agendas.

Really? So you think rising sea levels and incremental temperature fluctuations are more dangerous than the situation in the South China Sea or Eastern Europe?

Meh. Just go to Antarctica. It seems to be growing.

Please keep the leftist Gawker political crapola off Gizmodo.

Dried fish scales are like glitter. They get everywhere. You’re never rid of them. Let’s not do extra stuff with them.

Look, Sophie, I get why you are writing this angle, I really, really do, and I have some sympathy in a macro sense where I would say “Facebook is going to tailor this internet experience to benefit them” but everything is kind of relative, yeah?

G+ is pretty nice for its groups (i.e. communities) and is very active in that regard.

On the other hand, if the network restricts the usage to those with cable, they can’t turn around and blame people without cable for not watching. They did both.

If they’re going to shove a shitload of advertisements and product placement down my throat then yes, they damn well better not be charging me for it too.
But they are, and they would be, so, I didn’t watch any of it. At all.

But I do not want smart, because smart involves Google (and whoever they are in bed with) reading my e-mails.
I want better manual options, for basic e-mail stuff like choosing AUTH methods, enforcing TLS or disabling SSLv3, seeing message headers, or being able to set the From: address.

I mean, both can be true. Natural phenomena can be wildly unpredictable and variable and cyclic, and human activity can influence the ways in which those things play out.
