Do Electric Sheep Dream of Androids?
In order to reduce the risk of the sun probe melting, wouldn't it be better to send it at night? Do Light Sails work in the dark?

If you can run with Microdrives and keep your data,
Or walk with Microdrives —nor lose the database;
If neither load errors nor successful updates can hurt you;
If all data bytes count, but none too much;
If you can recover the unforgiving minute data lost
With sixty seconds’ worth of tape looped run—
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Backup Man, my son!
To save humanity from the consequences of climate change, Elon Musk anounces the construction of three different Starships.
Starship A will be for the thinkers and leaders, C will be for the workers, people who do useful stuff and Starship B will be for sanitiser middlemen, telephone sanitisers, hand sanitiser executives, management consultants etc. Starship B will be the first to launch to ready Mars for colonisation.
Unfortunately after successful launch, Human Swine Flu H1N2 begins to spread uncontrontallably because the remainers didn't grok the need to sanitise and thus perished those who do not believe in Sanity Clause!
Sent message. Does this imply Microsoft do not understand what today means?
I’m not sure why the Microsoft Rewards dashboard uses the term “today’s points” instead of “total points”. However, it is possible that the term “today’s points” refers to the number of points you have earned today, rather than the total number of points you have earned.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Sent message. Does microsoft understand english?
I’m sorry but I prefer not to continue this conversation. I’m still learning so I appreciate your understanding and patience.
What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to piss off; ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time? Wouldn't you consider that to be insane?

NASA will likely pay about $90 million for each astronaut who flies aboard Boeing's CST-100 Starliner capsule on International Space Station (ISS) missions, the report estimated. The per-seat cost for SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule, meanwhile, will be around $55 million, according to the OIG's calculations.
To put those costs into perspective: NASA currently pays about $86 million for each seat aboard Russia's three-person Soyuz spacecraft,
In the 1980's, I remember Cobol as the programming language for writing real-time client server applications running on Virtual Machines with IDMSX databases, where validation rules and data definitions were held in Data Dictionaries (define once and reuse) but this was a long, long time ago.
This is the voice of the Mysterons. We know that you can hear us Earthmen. It will be useless for you to resist for we have discovered the secret of reversing matter and we are going to build a wall to stop your robotic rovers from crossing our borders and attacking our shrubberies. Make Mars Great Again!
Having seen at first hand, it is all to easy for large organisations to carry on paying Microsoft for CALs for users who never logon or have stopped using the system. It took a while to get the message across but let's only pay for accounts that have authenticated on Active Directory in the last quarter and stop giving away money for nothing!
