Gee it's almost like nations should have some kind of ability to communicate with their citizenry en masse that isn't owned by an impulsive billionaire.

If you can afford smart phone service you can get pushed alerts!

Maybe using the Jewish space lasers would work.

Remember, Twitter is going to become the everything app, IM friends, check the news, send money, buy food… ‘Sorry kids, Jessica messaged her friends too many times and now we can’t buy food tonight.’

Someone should really consider building such a system, maybe one where agencies can post up to the minute updates about their service, ones needing only a few lines, while anyone can view these service updates quickly and easily from their phone while also allowing users to interact with the service if needed. Maybe even put an ad or two next to the message to pay for the use.

Thus, for all its achievements, SpaceX is an unproven supplier with a risky business strategy. The same thing has been said of every business start-up in history, but in the case of SpaceX the future of America's manned spaceflight program may be riding on its performance. With the Space Shuttle soon retired and follow-on efforts looking uncertain, launch failures or major delays by non-traditional suppliers could prove to be the final nail in the coffin of a program that has lost much of its political support. NASA was right to search for alternative business models and Elon Musk was brave to step forward, but in the end the space agency must have a safe and reliable way of getting astronauts into orbit if it is to have a future. Right now, NASA's traditional suppliers are the only companies who can credibly claim to meet that need.
The Case Against SpaceX, Part II

May 31, 2011

Because the naysayers, the do nothings, the haters shit on Space X, they shit on Tesla, they shit on The Boring company, I'm going to go with the sure thing here.

Twitter will end up being the largest most successful media company in history. Despite the extreme opposition of every other media company and every government in the world.

Apparently it was. I haven't heard that part. I guess they thought it might be something more dangerous.

Okay, so like, do I have this right. These lolyers basically forced Musk to follow through when he tried to back out like a little wimp, and now that he was forced to buy the company he was now faced with the bill for forcing him to follow through. And crying the bill is too much.

:clusterfuck: needs to be a smilie.

I wonder if the lolyer firm ends up owning Twitter.

Which, of course, is SOP for unknown/suspicious substance being found.

If the white powder was just nothing, or if it was anthrax, I'm 100% sure they would announce and arrest the culprit.

But pure cocaine? Just laying there?

A mystery ...
