I don't know. Once you're out of the galaxy proper you can basically floor it and not worry about hitting nebulas or planets or anything.

There's a fan theory (backed up by some official novels) that the Rebel rendezvous point in Empire was outside the galaxy, far away and deserted enough that the Empire would never find them. According to this Wookiepedia article, it took about two standard days to reach it.

I'm as Apple fanboy as you can get, but I must say, they picked some shitty examples for iPad apps. All the selected iPad apps look like they were designed by a person who thinks Flash apps are really neat. I would never use them.

I understand your complaint in the context of the current tablet market, but a common early criticism of the original Macintosh and other early GUIs was that they were too playful and incapable of completing serious work. Even in the Wikipedia article for GUIs, it says:

Not saying it id dead, but dying out. I mean, in the future, for people like us, opening a browser and navigating to [Gizmodo.com] or any other website will be the same. It'll still work, and it'll still be more "powerful". But I really think the World Wide Web is gong to end up like the command line. Very powerful

the sign, not so much the snow. Today, 90°, in MARCH!

few hours down the road from me

post-web = post-World Wide Web.

the World Wide Web as we know it today: visiting websites via URLs and hyperlinks, is going to go away. It already is going away. Path or Instagram are good examples of the future. You don't upload an image to Instagram.com, you open the Instagram app and tap "Share".

ya in rural Michigan they don't bother with that whole "cut out a square apply adhesive and repair 4 inches at a time" crap. Usually just three MDOT guys, a truck, a bucket, and a couple of shovels.

Wow! Thanks so much! Tons of great information in that for us.

Pretty sure somebody just won a bet.
