For anyone wondering the same thing I was: these F-1's were dropped into the Atlantic when Apollo 11 jettisoned its first stage.

Five F-1's per Saturn V, and there were 13 launched from Kennedy Space Center:

So there's 65 first stages out in the Atlantic. The particular engines being recovered are from Apollo 11 as you say.

A discussion from Dec 2006 discussing 1st stage re-entry, whether NASA knew/recorded the splashdown locations, etc:

It is not known yet that the located engines are from Apollo 11.

"Many of the original serial numbers are missing or partially missing, which is going to make mission identification difficult."

It sounds like you assume:

1) working at apple sucks because they never innovate

2) apple stock never goes up

You might want to check both of those assumptions.

Perhaps you should define "this".

Uses software patents offensively.

Why the hell would you subject your developers to looking at anything in IE6? Are they masochists by nature?

The JavaScript in IE6 isn't too horrible. It's mostly the layout and rendering that it sucks at. By choosing IE6, they could give you the scares without really having a lot of trouble.

I bet they made it with Chrome (or the likes), copied it into IE6, fixed a bug or two (without even bothering about cross-browser compat), and done. 30 minutes. Writing the article costs more time.

I was here when this all started.

When Android surfaced, it did not look blatantly like the iPhone. That is, until the Galaxy appeared. From the moment I saw a Galaxy prototype it was obvious: they were going to get sued.

Whether or not the iOS vs Android war makes sense at a high level is an interesting discussion, but this is pretty simple: Samsung practically begged to be the first to get sued. There isn't a lot to say about it after that.

Without the iPhone, there would be no Galaxy series. If you don't get that, you don't get that.

It's up to those two companies to work it out. Until that happens, this is what we get -- and Samsung, at least, has little to complain about.

You forgot Myth :)

All the games mentioned previously are RTS games, which doesn't include Myth (which is a great game on its own, though).

I don't get the frequent comparisons (mostly by bloggers) between Rails and Node.js. The things you most want Node.js for you don't really want to be doing in Rails, and vice-versa.

It's all going to come down to two things: are the workers any good, and do they give a shit.

Just like everything else.

That's a pretty self-indulgent rant. I've got nothing against the ultimate decision by any means, but that decision is being rationalized -- and rationalized poorly.

8GB of RAM costs $39. If the OPs time is worth so little that they'd rather stew for 5-10 minutes every day waiting for repair permissions to finish, then that's simply their choice. FWIW, I haven't done anything like that on my 4GB MB Air since I bought it, and it almost never gets rebooted. Granted the SSD makes VM usage a lot more transparent, but still...

The software installation comment displays a lack of understanding of what's going on with the App Store; e.g., it's new, things are still ramping up, etc.

As an aside, my 2-cents to anyone new to the platform is to stay away from MacPorts. It does things just differently enough to make future updates (outside of what they provide, or before they get around to providing it) a potential time-sink to sort out. Not worth it to me; it's easy enough to build what you need, and there are plenty of places for excellent guidance.

8GB would reduce battery life and, in some computers, it's not even an option. My Dell notebook is maxed out at 4. And I don't want the extra memory because I prefer long battery life.

I honestly can't tell if you're serious or not :)

serious || !serious == true

Do you know how much power 4gb vs 8gb of ram draws? I've heard this before but always wondered how big of a battery drain it is.
