New Russian Space Station 'Real Possibility'

su-geek writes: "BBC is reporting that the Russians are looking into the feasibility of a commercial space station. The Station would be used to promote space tourism and would help pay for future supply missions to the ISS." I think they should get into the business of crashing space stations into the Pacific, and bringing tourists on boats to watch the fireworks.

  7. Stephen King, author, dead at 54 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

  8. A modest proposal by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I have two scientific proposals, one basically low-tech, and one involving cutting edge technology. They have little in common except that each, if implemented, might be construed as social engineering - dangerous when done by politicians or sociologists, but perhaps of value when performed by the scientific/intellectual elite. I'll cover the low tech proposal first.

    To begin, we need to find a small group (20 - 30) of low income (white trailer trash would do nicely) expecting mothers who are (a) quite attractive and show past performance of producing attractive children and (b) would be willing, for a modest fee, to surrender their female child for the furtherance of science. Next, take these newborn infants away from their birth mothers and insure that they are fed formula only from "bottles" shaped like the adult human penis. As the children develop into the crawling stage, "penis feeders" would be mounted to the walls of their cages. Of course the formula would change to meet their developing nutritional needs, but no human contact, language development or socialization would be allowed. At an appropriate point, air bladders in their "penis feeders" would inflate to simulate erection, so that the children learn that a period of sucking is required before they are rewarded with food. No other source of food is allowed. At about 5 -6 years of age the girls would be taught to defecate in one corner of their cage, and at about 10 - 12 years of age would be slowly introduced to their human handlers, but again, no language or socialization skills are taught. At about 13 - 14 years of age the really interesting part of the experiment begins : the girls are lead on a leash out of their cage for "private feedings" with select staff members. These men take careful notes comparing the fellatio skills of the test subjects to a control adult female group (probably prostitutes). If the young girls' skills compare favorably, then they could be shipped to government research laboratories and housed in cages identical to the ones they were raised in. "Private feedings" would be used as a performance incentive for the best programmers, nuclear scientists, geneticists, engineers, etc. Such an incentive program might be just what's needed to restore the prestige of the scientific professions in this country and to lessen the flow of students into socially useless professions like law, sociology, and business administration. If nothing else, from a purely scientific point of view, I think it would be interesting to see whether the experiment could yield "fellatio superwomen."
    The second proposal is much broader in scope, and its feasibility depends, in part, on the successful completion of the Human Genome Project. The idea in a nutshell is this: All pregnant women would be required to report before the 3rd month of pregnancy to a public health clinic where an in utero examination of the fetus' genetic material is conducted. Any red flags raised by the test (likelihood of fatal disease, likelihood of mental retardation, etc) would mean destruction of the fetus. This would also be the perfect time to cross match the mother with information from previous IQ tests, criminal justice system files, demographic data, etc. Gradually, as not to arouse suspicions, mothers with low IQ scores , criminal histories, or even just the wrong demographics would be presented with bogus test results indicating that their fetus must be destroyed. This could only have a beneficial effect on society, with minimal inconvenience to the population. And last but not least, this would also be a logical point to implement population control, the one topic our spineless shit politicians won't face.
    Oh well, more about that later.

  13. The new anti AC slashcode changes create BACKLASH by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The new anti AC slashcode changes create BACKLASH and 500% more low-brow trolling and wanton posts.

    First of all, I wish the SlashDotters in charge would get a fucking clue: first posting is not trolling.

    Second, it presumes that every AC posting early will be offtopic and trying to get the first post. Third, it doesn't just prevent ACs from posting, it prevents them from reading the text of the article. And as for the post, it's offtopic, but isn't it kind of odd how quickly things get modded down to -1 offtopic? Seems like auto deprecating code for ac posts.

    Now unless you are logged into an account you cannot see the or post to the comments on a story until at least 5 comments are posted.

    These lame schemes to generate more and more accounts so you can get more advertising money are pathetic.

    I treasure anonymous posts and like to read them all. Some o the best whistleblowing "bombshell" industry posts that skyrocketted straight to "5" start out as lowly AC +0 posts.

    Slashdot is a almost dead from these stupid changes that create MORE TROLLING.

    Do you agree?
