People don't like change, and especially when they have to take action themselves. Come February, a very large number of slackers will wonder why their TVs don't work. Call me a troll, but it will be mostly inner-city welfare-check-receiving families.
If I understand this correctly, the way the bill is written, the word "space" is not defined. Technically, I could be fined for photographing anything that has weather in it. One of the requirements of the license, if granted one, is providing trajectory data and timestamps of photos.
What if I were to stuff their inbox with submissions and impressive looking ballistic calculations of timestamps and weather observed as well as coordinates of my last family reuninion at the city park? Just forge the license number and submit all data.
Of course I'm being facetious, but it's a dumb law - I think I'm obligated to mock it.
Why is this modded funny? I think it would be a great idea for a new interface. Sure, the first thing that comes to mind are more exercise games, and the next is how silly you'll look in your home in a DIY Mo-Cap suit, but what about a Minority Report-esque control style RTS? Sure, that only uses your hands, but I'm only on the tip of the iceberg here.
Now a little off-topic, but I mentioned a mo-cap suit: why not? With the Wii sensor bar technology already in the hands of modders, why not use the tech for home-brew games (or even independent developers for that matter) without the funds to rent an expensive mo-cap lab?
IANAB (Biologist), but doesn't the human body's immune system function as a disease? As a rule of thumb (there are exceptions), it is supposed to be the biggest and baddest thing out there and quashes anything in its path.
If my understanding is correct, why wouldn't you give yourself a booster shot?
(BTW, I'm still undecided as to whether the government should use civilian machines - I'm leaning towards opt-in if at all)
But this isn't such a ridiculous idea. Why not use friendly nations' networks for this purpose?
If you could spread attacks (or counter-attack) out from all over the globe, all with different origins and possible spoofs, bouncebacks, etc., that's where the power of such a net could come from. ESPECIALLY, if you could convince more neutral and ambiguously aligned nations to cooperate becuase they would be more trusted or less untrusted(The aquaintance of my enemy could be my friend).
Logged in to post exactly this. Putting a telescope in a lagrange point solves the problem of not being able to directly communicate with it due to it being on the other side of the moon. Another advantage of direct communication is getting visual confirmation of any movements or adjustments made. Sensors are great, but I don't care how good the tech is - something will always go wrong that you didn't think of.
It isn't tool-use that makes humans unique, it's the idea of technology.
Technology is the ability to make a tool better, or combine it with tools previously made, over generations. Sure, some primates use tools to get food, but have they ever made any improvements on them? The same goes for the crows.
The difference is technology is a step beyond tools.

I think you need a doctor of medicine instead of a doctor of engineering.
That's so... sad.
Please don't confuse illegal with unlicensed.
Who says Lucy Lawless doesn't have a figure ancient enough to have a mythology?
I know Minnesota is cold, but remember to snap up the butt-flap on your pajamas. You don't want an arsicle!
No.

An elementary school classmate of my mother's had the surname Fuckarelli.
Reminds me of Hitchhiker's Guide and the Vogons. "It was clearly posted in public! It's not our fault you didn't do anything."

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't give everyone on the street I walk past kudos for not murdering me.

Give a medical reason why not.

We are the space robots.
We are here to protect you from the terrible secret of space.

Am I missing something here?
