  1. In 1654 they were trying to pull off the hemispeheres. 300 years later they were pushing them back.
  2. Linux is unfixable too. Never seen it working properly.
  3. Instructors? The deadly heptyl... It's everywhere over there... So strange... Making photos while being deadly thirsty... Rogozin is a head of innovative future world weapons testing team "Tsar's wolves". He may be everywhere. He may be everyone. Look around, there is a chance that he's standing behind and watching, what you are typing. This man was developed not to forget about him on his castling.
  4. It took seven years, seven endlessly long years of futile attempts to fix the unfixable game. If the developers could realize its unfixability a bit earlier, they would spend all that time in doing useless work.
  5. Banned for not saying bantankerous .
  6. Granted. The Earth is spinning 1000 rounds per second now. I wish for a space anomaly in the Solar System.
  7. In Alien - self-destruction overheat, in Aliens - overheat destruction. Technically, they could implement a ship self-destruction mechanism by having the local heatproof tungsten cistern of deuterium fuel, and redirecting the reactor power on heating the tungsten walls of the room where it is, to make it hot and emitting X-ray to compress the cistern. It would also explain why the ship is getting hot and steaming after the self-destruction had been initiated, and even explain to some extent, why it can't be switched off several minutes later (already too hot and uncontrollable). Or the reactor itself could contain fissiles, being forcedly fissiled by the fusion neutrons and/or Xray. Mabe even the idea is that the fissiles are getting hot, emitting X-rays, and compress much greater amount of the fusion fuel inside the reaction zone at once, after the heat control had been disabled. But on LV-426 the reactor would just fail burning, as the fusion fuel is just tens milligrams per second.
  8. If it was nonfixable, they wouldn't be afraid of publishing the source code.
  9. Aliens When the meatbags are walking inside the heat exhanger, Lt. Gorman ordered them all to give up all ammo (including grenades) to prevent the pipes damaging. Do I get it right, that all their ammo (including grenades) was occupying one bag and weighting 10..20 kg, i.e. a clip and a grenade per soldier? M41A was 10 mm, after all. *** Let alone the kitchengarden flamethrower, fueled with propane instead of napalm.
  10. Very useful from any pov. Should be a standard part for the lunar base and rovers. Anti-meteoroid, anti-rad, anti-UV, just a place for any junk.
  11. Iirc, yes. The UR-100N is a universal thing. One of the IS/US launch vehicles, together with UR-200 and R-36.
  12. Just don't dive to Titanic, like the previous one did. P.S. "Remote control" doesn't man "uncrewed". 1. Titan was using a remote control from inside the cabin. 2. The pilot may stay on surface, but the passengers be inside.
  13. Meanwhile somewhere are quietly weeping the Breeze and Frigate rocket stages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Briz_(rocket_stage) http://www.khrunichev.ru/main.php?id=49 https://russpace.ucoz.ru/index/razgonnyj_blok_briz_m/0-66 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fregat P.S. Funny fact: the inner part of Breeze (that 2.5 m) is/was the post-boost vehicle of the UR-100N ICBM and/or LV based on it, i.e. the jettisonnable torus tank was added later, to put it on Proton.
  14. A typical beginning of a magic quest in fantasy.
  15. Thumbanned by pressing the banbutton
  16. Floor 5011: An etymological spelling of the word "com-pre-hen-sive".
  17. What if put a bounty for the Martians on the Martian sample return. It would solve at least three problems: 1. Humans meet the Martians (the ambassador); 2. Humans can see the technologies the Martians use for interplanetary flights; 3. Mars sample return.
  18. Granted in its turn, after the Ships ## 0, 1, 2, ..., 28 and the extraordinary ones. I wish people were more attentive when reading spells. The wish was about "rule to ring", not about "ring to rule".
  19. Numbing is cheating, numbers are cheaters.
