It's not a connectivity issue that's causing the slowness. KeenSpace is a free service, and you get what you pay for. You pay nothing... (No, I will not pay for that silly "KeenSpace Premium", because of the absolute a55tacular performance for the freebie service that doesn't really even meet basic ...

I have 4, I think, codes available, but right now I can't really get anywhere on the LJ site, without setting my alarm clock so I can take a nap and maybe it'll be done by the time I wake up again. :razz: (Yes, I know, if I don't like the freebie server speed, I can either pay or walk. Even the free...

Umm, y'all do realize that, by law, the NSC (National Security Council; president, SecDef, NSA, and Joint Chiefs, IIRC, but don't quote me on that) have to review the US's nuclear weapon contingency plans every year, right? It's far easier to plan for reactions when things are relatively cool than i...

What the hell is a Godwin?

Godwin's Law, named after EFF lawyer Mike Godwin.

Somehow, Buster, I don't think anyone would really be inclined to argue against you not belonging in jail, or baring that one of those "special" places that are so nice they give their residents "I love me" jackets... Cheap shot aside, 26 here. The relatively low average age isn't all that surprisin...

You (generic "you") know for a fact that if you pull the trigger, the child dies. But how do you know that the child's death does/causes what this superbeing says it will do? A lot of evil has been done over the centuries, much of it supposedly for some "holy cause", when the reality turns out to be...

What's up with those children? Why is everyone so afraid to kill a child to save millions?

I used to have a budgie named Budgy (original? I think not!)

About as original as a dog named Dog.

(Just got finished reading <u>Good Omens</u> last night. When I get cash I might look into acquiring some more of Pratchett's and Gaiman's works.)

Oh, gh0d, you would have to limit it to just 5 entries... :razz: Like some others, in no particular order: - Larry Niven (though his last few works have been somewhat disappointing, or, at best, less than some of his earlier works) - Tom Clancy (see above; also, the "Tom Clancy's" stuff is not inclu...

For better or worse, I can't really say where I went, besides somewhere in the Pacific (the Bremmerton was stationed out of Pearl Harbor at the time... now homeported in San Diego). It was, though.... interesting. Educational, too. I never knew you could identify how important a Chinese crewmember w...

At a guess, KS is feeling the effects of investing in cheap hardware (IDE drives, on a server with a gazillion web comics on it that, collectively, get thousands of hits an hour?! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, interrogative!), and their server fell down and went boom. They aren't having much luck with DNS ...

Methinks someone's been watching Down Periscope a bit too much... HY-80 doesn't compress quite as much as movie sub hull.

No, Taps isn't for everyone, but unlike real life, you don't have to deal with it if you don't want to. Yeah, I know the idea of taking responsibility for your own actions is considered passe, in some circles, but if you won't, why should anyone else?

Given that Silver has been "killed" many times (go back a bit in the "day in the life" arc, when she's doing the "sacrificed princess" bit for Vince... the comments imply that it's not the first time she's "died"), I kinda doubt that'll be the end of the character. Where David does decide to go with...
