A film is not about its highlights, but about the story between. At least it should be. Trailers usually only reveal the highlights, so there is still a lot to be discovered. If there isn’t, then it is probably a pretty bad film.

In many ways the jump suit for an astronaut is his business suit. Sure he could wear anything else, but nothing else would make people think ‘astronaut’. This is no different than a wall street investor wearing a suit and tie, since wearing t-shirts and jeans wouldn’t get the same credibility for the role.

As a planet we aren’t really losing it, rather it is just not necessarily accessible in the form that is easy to use or in a location where people need it. While we could ship or pipeline water, we are just displacing the issue. Increasing population and demand puts pressure on the resource. Another side effect is…

With VR coming along, this may be just a base idea for a VR golf game. Actually, seeing plenty of possibilities there. Maybe ‘Mario Golf & Bowser’s Castle’ or Mario Kart Golf?

It might be, but then again given that the Raspberry Pi Foundation is a non-profit, I am curious whether they are feeling some sort of pressure?

While static images and charts give some idea of the space debris, I feel an animation give a better sense (in WebGL):

I do this too. For me it's partly because I am on the fence as to which is my preferred browser and when doing web development, well you want to see which browser your solutions breaks on.

Looking at the prices, specs and build, I think if I was wanting to avoid Macs and was in the market for a portable, I would probably go for this. Yes it is expensive, but if my job puts my in front of a computer all day, then I want to feel like I have something worth using.

Healthy ecosystems depend on a proper structure and balance. Australia can show you how introducing the wrong predator can break things, whereas here elimination of predator, without a suitable replacement cause problems.

Just remember the XBox 360 also only has 512MB of memory and if I remember there are some great games out there. Remember, this an embedded device, not a desktop device.

Truth is raw specs don't matter. What does matter is what the end experience is like.

You could sell stuff at price people would like to pay or you could sell stuff at a price that people are willing to pay. Could business dictates that if people are going to be putting their cash down anyhow, then why bother lowering the cost? More revenue means more money to pay great minds with to potentially make…

Because people in power having nothing better to do?

Indeed. Any time there is a resource challenge and a question of DNA dominance.

Darth vader and a female storm trooper?

Trucks made for racing.

Maybe military spending is important, but cutting the budget of NASA and then wondering why we are trailing in space exploration is a joke. Because of this we lose the ability to hold on to good engineers.

If you are form Montreal, then you probably have the same faith in the whole construction industry - I live there too. Never sure who to blame though? Engineers, politicians, construction workers, suppliers or construction companies? Maybe a bit of everything?

Are stun guns registered, such that you do a serial number lookup an you can work out the owner?

Dog shaped rat? ;)
