 No one went to the moon in 69 (ever?), I don't have links but google plenty.

Wow. This thread has now utterly jumped the rails and turned into the Crazy Train...

I think I'll go with the paper :lol:

 :lol:  Just make sure you wash it after mate.

 This parrot is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late parrot. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot.

Wow. This thread has now utterly jumped the rails and turned into the Crazy Train...

There is some credible but inconclusive evidence that NASA did not visit the moon. There are moon photos that appear doctored, questions of how film and astronauts made it unharmed through the Van Allen radiation belt and several mysterious deaths of people in the know. Faking it would have increased American "patriotism" with a fraction of the spending and problems fighting the Cold War. It's probably all a coincidence but knowing that our politicians and the CIA are capable of assassinations, false flag attacks on our cities (to start a war with Cuba) and spying and framing of even U.S. citizens for false crimes, I haven't ruled it out. We are supposed to be the good guys and yet some of the things our Obama-nation is still doing makes Steve Jobs look like a saint.

I don't see any advantage to trashing Steve Jobs reputation. It is what it is. He was an odd ball but influential from a product development and marketing standpoint. He was a successful visionary judging by sales although it's much easier to make money after you have it. Apple with Jobs in power has been one of the few companies to do well with quality products in the American market where cheap products usually do better. I have more respect for the influential visionaries that understood computers like Jay Miner and Dennis Ritchie. They made lasting contributions to the development of computers (and the benefit of mankind as well as the detriment) without the money catalyst.

Disclosure: I own AAPL in a retirement account.

Stop.

Just...just stop.

You have no idea what you're talking about.  Or, rather, you do - you're talking about completely idiotic conspiracy theories and the details thereof.  However, the conspiracy theories are so off the rails it doesn't even merit consideration.

And yet we actually know about that stuff. Because the US government is absolutely terrible at keeping secrets. We've had a conspiracy going all the way up to the presidential level brought down because of a nosey socialite spotting a break-in from her hotel room; we've had another president impeached because he couldn't keep it in his pants and couldn't keep people from gabbing about it; all considerations of scientific plausibility aside, do you seriously think that this government could mount and actually succeed at such a massive, elaborate campaign of deception? By this point we'd have the catering receipts leaked to the press.

Good point, John.
And we didn't build and launch massive Saturn V rockets just to fake the rest.
That is patently silly.

OK, I will agree that that was bull.
But primarily because an old employer of mine was a black listed former Nike engineer who lost his job when he and several other engineers pointed out the math that proved that the entire idea of missile interception was fatality flawed.

And...I never liked Reagan.

But we DID go to the moon.

Or did they somehow fake that launch I saw as a child.
Pretty damned convincing fake then.

Oh, and BTW, Oswald shot Kennedy.

This thread, which started with nothing but a tenuous connection to reality has long since that connection. It's a thread without a purpose, like much of this board.  It's time I think to bring on the Spanish Lesbians™.

As long as they have properly washed their asses.

If you stayed in the most intense area of the Van Allen for a few days you will die. Of course the astronauts were traveling 7 or 8 miles a second so they got a minor dose in the few minutes they were in the high radiation zone (and few hours they were in the lower radiation area). This and the dozen or so other "questions" have been answered many times by experts. I think Phil Plaitt (sp) has a break down of the common ones.

"The Web began life on NeXT."

Seriously?
No. The Web was just a natural evolution of the internet.
NeXT hardware played a role, but not one that couldn't have been carried out on other equipment.

I believe Tim Berners-Lee would disagree.
It was all about NeXT software not hardware:

I wrote the program using a NeXT computer. This had the advantage that there were some great tools available -it was a great computing environment in general. In fact, I could do in a couple of months what would take more like a year on other platforms, because on the NeXT, a lot of it was done for me already.

OK...we already know the first browser was written for a NeXT box, AND now you've referenced the author of the browser.

And I still don't see how NeXT offered a vital advantage in creating a browser.

And this statement "At the time, the "X" close box was unique to NeXT" makes it sound like NeXT invented closing a Window which is silly.

 Interface Builder, Objective-C and the NextStep framework I suppose, he didn't say it was impossible on other platform, just that it'll take a lot more time. Now all of this exist on the Mac/iOS platforms  Kamelito
