Do you think the distribution has changed since 1983?
There is abundant Ti, Al, Si, Fe and others. It would be cheaper to mine this on the moon for a lunar base than force it up Earths gravity well. It is not about getting stuff from the Moon to Earth. It is about not needing to get stuff from Earth to the rest of the solar system.
I was not arguing that your claim is mindless. I explained the reason for my opinion that manned missions are more compelling. Yes, it is cool that we sent robots to Mars. Yes, they sent back a lot of data. No, I do not believe you when you say you would not like to actually go there. How many people where glued to the TV during Apollo 11? How about the Phoenix Lander?
Announcer: Imagine if you will, an announcer you can barely understand, he refers to a [mutters], but you're not quite sure what he said. He seems to be eating something, or perhaps he's a little drunk. It's remotely possible that he just said something about the Scary Door.
Private: It's all over! Our guns and bombs are useless against the aliens.
Farmer: The saucers! They's a-crashin'!
Announcer: In the end, it was not guns or bombs that defeated the aliens, but that humblest of all God's creatures, the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Because I want it. I pay taxes and I think it is ridiculous that we spend 693 times the budget of exploring the fucking solar system on bailing out corporations who were too dumb to not bankrupt themselves. 12.2 TRILLION dollars compared to.176 trillion for NASA.
Sorry about replying to myself, but it wasn't a depleted uranium round, if Iran had depleted uranium rounds I think we would have bigger problems. I was remembering a joke about why the cost was so high.
The difference is, technically, a muslim fundalmentalist can immigrate to the US and put up a website denouncing the American government with a picture of our president as Satan and not fear government reprisal. We do not "vigorously prosecute" people exercising free speech, even if that free speech is of the opinion that our entire country is evil and should burn for eternity. If you to moved to iran and created a website protesting the government it would be a much different story. Your family might receive a bill for the cost of the depleted uranium round shot into the protest crowd that killed you.
So? I never get spam in my G-mail inbox. Google and ISPs, I'm sure, are dealing with tons of spam traffic but I am not. If ISPs want to pay a fee to some central authority to stop spam traffic on their networks that's fine. But remind me again why I should have to pay when I use the services of a company that is clever enough to offer me free* e-mail and still turn a profit. How exactly would I benefit? Last time i checked ISPs were screwing me over left and right.

I have had really good luck with intel boards and you can pick up a decent one for $60 bucks. Add any one of these cpus for $149-$349 plus $45 for 4GB of Ram and you have a pretty fast rig for $254 - $454.
That is since this afternoon when someone clever realized an unregistered domain was about to receive a s;ashdotting. Wonder how much those ads earned him today.
On my PC if I have bing selected as my default search engine it takes me to bing. If I have google set as my default search engine it takes me to google. I don't really see what the big deal is.
My wife bought a Vaio against my advice. I have had vaios before and knew they were overpriced even though the hardware is typically very nice. The laptop is a Core 2 Duo with 4GB of Ram and was slower then her Celeron M gateway with 1GB of ram, both running Vista. Once I wiped the Sony and installed vista ultimate 64bit (and now 7 ultimate 64bit) it was much faster. I started trying to fix the sony image but there was too much crap to uninstall and too many stupid settings. Like who really wants 10% as a max CPU setting when on battery.
Actually once you are a member, either through serving or being a dependent of someone who served and was a member, your dependents and spouses are then eligible. So, for example, my wifes father is a member and was eligible because his father served and is a member. Because my wife is a member, I was eligible. So even though neither I nor either of my parents served, I am a member.
If I deposit a check in a Bank of America ATM it automatically reads the handwritten amount using OCR. You can tell it it's wrong but I haven't had to. Then it prints you a receipt with images of all the checks you've deposited plus a breakdown of the cash you've deposited.

What's really really sad is that you know that.

How would that decrease my electric bill compared to using normal AA's.
Your attempt to reason is thoughtcrime, comrade.

They haven't suspended it for me.
Checks are free, Money Orders aren't.
Ohhhhhhh, so instead of checks you have pre-printed pieces of paper that you fill out and take to your bank. How futuristic.
Did you try to read the entire summary in under 1 second or something.
