Am I the only one disappointed with the cancellation of the Constellation program?

Including some things which are firsts (as far as I can tell) for EVE (not major but still cool to be trailblazing).
By soon we mean two days or less.

AND BY POPULAR DEMAND: images of pugs | This is Ruby. Closeups are not her forte.
Here's a fairly old photo, but this is basically what I've had under my desk for the last 4 or so years
In fact most of these photos are fairly old, the pug man is a fair deal more grey these days
I also have a rabbit, her name is noodle
Oh and Ruby is real sick lately. |
I want to become a cam girl, how do I start ? | I read some stories about camgirls a while back and I am definatively interested in doing it too. The problem is, I wouldn't know where to start.

What's the best week you've ever had for snow days while in high school? | For me, these past two weeks. In ten days we've had three late starts and school was closed one day. |
Can we use server time when planning ops? | I'm sure we are all scattered around in different timezones. Using server time to plan ops timing would be beneficial because all we need to do is just remember what server time corresponds to your own time. EG: 11am ST = 7pm GMT +8. |

The background was black, the objects were like a still life ... |
Gamers are what's killing video games (you too reddit) | I was reading the topic about "button-mashing" and it really started to make me realize what wusses gamers are becoming. The worst part is it's not just casual gamers, it's the hardcore too (I'd generally consider r/gaming to be hardcore gamers).
There were people crying about button-mashing and "quick time events".... |
Hints and tips for the N900 user - let's make our own repository of cool things you can do with this baby. | Watch just about any movie quality. Protip: Once you've installed these apps, the built in media player will play all the formats too.
Fiddle with your files, though remember to enable root with x-terminal and run it from there by typing "mc".
Get an FM radio, but we're doing without RDS for the time being it seems.

I'm thinking of letting my house be foreclosed on. How long can I stay after making the last payment? Has anyone else gone through this process? | The value of my house has dropped to 50% of what I owe on the mortgage and I have to move soon. My credit is shot already so I don't see any reason to go the short sale route, plus I've been told that some people have been able to stay in their home 2 years or more. I'm basically trying to figure out when to make the... |
