Yeah, they'll want our oil.

Because it's a waste of time and energy. The idea that we can beam a signal at a star with the expectation that a recipient is activity listening in our direction at that moment in time is ludicrous.

I have a Facebook account but I rarely log into it. I might share a link that I find particularly interesting but I never go back to count the likes or replies. I think Facebook, Instagram, etc. interest all boils down to what type of person you are. Personally, I'm highly introverted and...

It really doesn't make sense we're alone in the universe. I remember reading that,if a civilization spread out in a paltry .5 the speed of light they could colonize the entire galaxy in a few million years. There has been plenty of time for that. I guess the best we can do is point some...

They do if they detected our radio transmissions. WE don't know they're there. Marvel at my proper use of 'there', 'their', and 'they're'.

Therefore, aliens.

Maybe, if they have incredibly, massively sensitive antennae. Earth's first radio waves would be reaching them now. It's highly unlikely they would detect them unless they were specifically looking in our direction.

What? That's not far at all. That means it took 95 years for that signal to reach Earth. If "they" are there, then they're still there.

Rickshawed? Why? This is an important god damn question.

SHOULD everyone be able to touch their toes or is it impossible for some (sans people with deformities or missing limbs)? I exercise 3-4 times a week and do pre-workout stretches. Been doing this for years and I have never gotten any closer to touching my toes.

I've never been able to touch my toes, not even as a child. I'm in excellent physical shape too. I guess I'm just not flexible.

Reposting this in case anyone missed it on the old boards. Space Engine - an incredible space simulator. Curious what the Milky Way would look like from the perspective of a planet in the Large Magellanic cloud? Bam, Space Engine can answer that. Fly anywhere in the universe and marvel at...

So I've been watching these videos by Mike Maloney, Hidden Secrets of Money, and I'm seriously considering starting to invest in gold and silver. I have his book, Guide to Investing in Gold & Silver, on order. Has anyone gone this route and have any tips? Specifically, I'm wondering where do...

17 years ago.

um, holy shit.

Need some advice... As we all know, interest rates for a bank savings account is so stupid low it makes zero sense to keep your money there. So, alternatively, I've been placing any extra cash into a Vanguard ETF - specifically the VTI Total Stock market ETF. I sold all my shares earlier this...

I hope he sues the shit out of Manitowoc. I was enraged when I watched that documentary.

Who the hell is "Goku"? Sounds like some non-American shit to me.

I'd be okay with that.

Honestly, enough time has passed that they could do this. Take the original game, re-do all the art assets, keep all the original game play elements and release it.

I can envision some future state run not by humans but by an A.I. (yeah, plenty of science fiction literate on this one). But, honestly, this probably has the best chance at a utopia providing said A.I. doesn't decide to exterminate everyone. A dictator that functions off of pure logic...

"I tracked crime after crime to him. Voter fraud, racketeering, money laundering, racketeering fraud, voter laundering ... the list goes on and on!" James Franco was pretty funny in this.

God damn hilarious. Great finale.

No they don't. And neither do heterosexuals, bis, trannies, or Q's.

Crappy Mustang driver? What's wrong with you guys? Be proud! My 2008 Mustang GT:

Where do you work? A medical diagnostics and service provider. What do you do? (Title/keywords) Software Engineer What field/industry? Healthcare Wages? ~75K. Pretty decent considering I'm living in "bumfuk Egypt" as they say. Bonuses/SEP? no bonuses, 3% matching 401K. Benefits? Awful...

I love the changes to holy priests. I may boost a priest to 100 on Hyjal come release.

Same here, I really liked this show at first but now find myself fiddling with the tablet while it's playing.

All's I gotta say is, Rere forums on my tablet are 10000% better.

No kidding. The cast of B5 have been cursed. That said, Babylon 5 is probably my favorite sci-fi series of all time. What sucks is that I try my best to get friends to watch it, but they can never get out of season 1 before giving up.

Uh, was Molly trying to commit suicide? Not sure what she was taking but a couple mouthful of pills can't be good.

I saw this last night and thought it sucked ass. I went into it not knowing the story, but was hoping it would have some reference to a TOS story or character like the second movie did. But nope, just some random bad buy. I find it hilarious that the captain of the Franklin found...

Yeah, probably a mixture of Bootstrap and jQuery UI. There's the mandate that our app have the "look and feel" of a desktop application. So no huge icons and fonts, nor do we want that flat styling that's prevalent in contemporary CSS frameworks. UIKit is the closest thing I've found so...

Does anyone know of a CSS framework that has styling similar to jQuery UI? That is, it more closely resembles a desktop application style rather than the largish buttons and fonts that have become popular during the mobile era.

What is it that you're not "feeling"?

So I re-worded my Google search and actually found one solution atUsing Typewriter to Strongly-Type Your Client-Side Models and Services - Kamranicus. Interestingly, Typescript eases this pain with it's interfaces (which I totally forgot about). It still involves updating the Typescript...

See, that's what my point is: there is now extra burden to make sure both the client and server code are in sync. That is why I'm advocating that we keep it all server-side. We, forourproduct, don't really gain anything by investing heavily into a client-side framework. It would be...

The client has no access to the DTO object. The DTO is being serialized into JSON which is transmitted to the client.

Of course, but take for instance this piece of server-side code that takes a DTO and returns a JSON string to the client: Somewhere in your client Javascript you'll be referencing an ".AuthorName". If someone changes "AuthorName" on the server to "AuthorFirstName" or whatever, then you'll need...
