I wonder if someone already modded 3D Sexvilla so it has gay men in it.
The internet should be able to answer this question very easily.
Huh, would you look at that. Someone did do it.
By the way, you said I should read Moonrise first out of all the Grand Tour books, right? About to buy one.
The Grand Tour series are loosely connected but Moonrise and Moonwar are a good start though. If you want to keep to that series move to the Silent War afterwards.

I have a comp puter question. My sister's boyfriend dropped her laptop and i recovered the HDD. Is there anyway to legally transfer Microsoft Word and Power Point and such from her old laptop HDD to her new one?
Mac or Windows?
Mac - you can just drag and drop the application folder from one HD to the other.
Windows - you need an installation disc or digital download installer
Whether either of these are "legal" depends entirely on the license you have
but I'm guessing that she no longer has the original license key, in which case both of these methods are illegal
which is why people need to keep their software licenses in a safe place

Also, Connecticut apparently passed a bill that lets you sue the cops if they arrest you for filming them in public? Kinda sucks a law had to be made for that but at least one state has one.

I am glad that we are inching toward a future where it is like
what the fuck do I care what the key is
you have it in your records that I bought this shit
I will redownload it from your servers whenever I want

Can't you sue the police if they arrest you without grounds anyway?
Well initially they are building and sending up many small telescopes (like 16" in size) that can observe asteroids from earth orbit and also scoot over to them using a small rocket motor (doesn't take much thrust to move a scope that small).
Then working on robotic mining of near earth asteroids for volitiles like water (since it is not compressible, it costs upwards of $20,000 per liter to bring water into space from earth). Water and other volitiles will be collected in space and can be used there by future missions or sold to NASA or others.
Long term looking at mining stuff like platinum which is hell of abundant in many asteroids to bring back to earth.

i wonder how apple gets away with the program that basically replicates your old mac on the new one, with settings and programs and shit
Backup and restoration and imaging and cloning and deployment are all fully legal operations (as long as your software is properly licensed) and the presumption is that most people are just legally transferring software they fully own from one computer to another with the intent of wiping the old computer.
I'm not trying to be pedantic here, which is why I tried to answer the question simply. Mac - drag and drop application folder. Windows - reinstall from disc or installer. Keep your software safe from now on.

16" for the entire craft, not just the mirror (which is 9"). These are actually being manufactured now to be launched next year.
That's so small! What kind of telescopes are they.
I just read about them myself. This is about all I know:
The first is to make a series of small space telescopes to observe and characterize asteroids. Lewicki said the first of these is the Arkyd 101, a 22 cm (9″) telescope in low-Earth orbit that will be aboard a tiny spacecraft just 40 x 40 cm (16″) in size. It can hitch a ride with other satellites being placed in orbit, sharing launch costs and saving money (an idea that will come up again and again in their plans). This telescope will be used both to look for and observe known Near-Earth asteroids, and can also be pointed down to Earth for remote sensing operations.
I’ll note Lewicki said they expect to launch the first of these telescopes by the end of next year, 2013. They’re already building them (what’s referred to as “cutting metal”). They could launch on already-existing rockets — an Atlas or Delta, for example, Europe’s Ariane, India’s GSLV, or Space X’s Falcon 9.
After that, once they’re flight-tested, more of these small spacecraft can be launched equipped with rocket motors. If they hitch a ride with a satellite destined for a 40,000 km (24,000 mile) geosynchronous orbit, the motor can be used to take the telescope — now a space probe — out of Earth orbit and set on course for a pre-determined asteroid destination. Technical bit: orbital velocity at geosync is about 3 km/sec, so only about an additional 1 km/sec is needed to send a probe away from Earth, easily within the capability of a small motor attached to a light-weight probe.
Many asteroids pass close to the Earth with a low enough velocity that one of these probes could reach them. Heck, some are easier to reach in that sense than the Moon! Any asteroid-directed probe can be equipped with sensors to make detailed observations, including composition. It could even be designed to land on the asteroid and return samples back to Earth, or leave when the observations are complete and head off to observe more asteroids up close and personal

Yeah
PGM = Platinum Group Metals which are hella rare on earth's crust (presumably they're much more common in earth's core but it's much much easier to get to an asteroid)

I say this with a completely straight face: OSX has a way superior solution for applications. Nearly all of them are entirely self-contained in one single file (technically, it's a folder, with the binary plus all resources it needs in it), instead of crapping files all over the system.
Configuration? That's all in a PList file, stored in ~/Application Data/App Name/.

Oh, yeah, totally. And you don't get into ridiculous DLL conflicts.
Well, you don't with Windows 7 either, but that's because Windows 7 keeps separate DLL repositories in the Windows folder for different versions of installed applications which is the most ass-backwards way of handling a very simple problem.

no, seriously, bit-for-bit copy. When it's up and running on a separate partition, use something like this, or just accept the restored system as-is.

This is the coolest part to me:
Step 2
Once a suitable asteroid is found, the idea is not to mine it right away for precious metals to return to Earth, Lewicki told me, but instead to tap it for volatiles — materials with low boiling points such as water, oxygen, nitrogen, and so on, which also happen to be critical supplies for use in space.
The idea behind this is to gather these materials up and create in situ space supply depots. Water is very heavy and incompressible, so it’s very difficult to launch from Earth into space (Lewicki quoted a current price of roughly $20,000 per liter to get water into space). But water should be abundant on some asteroids, locked up in minerals or even as ice, and in theory it shouldn’t be difficult to collect it and create a depot. Future astronauts can then use these supplies to enable longer stays in space — the depots could be put in Earthbound trajectories for astronauts, or could be placed in strategic orbits for future crewed missions to asteroids. Lewicki didn’t say specifically, but these supplies could be sold to NASA — Planetary Resources would make quite a bit money while saving NASA quite a bit. Win-win.
The details of exactly how they’ll collect these resources and store them may be revealed in the press conference Tuesday. If I can, I’ll ask.

the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Yes.
Well, mostly.
You need to keep proof of ownership for your commercial software.
Usually this is a certificate of authenticity with the license key.
Or it can also be a proof of purchase.
Or a relationship certificate.
It can be paper or it can be a digital copy.
But if you don't have some proof of ownership, whichever method you use to transfer software from one HD to the other is illegal.
The transfer method has absolutely nothing to do with legality.
