eBay Sues Craigslist

EBay is slimey. I've got 100% postive feedback for EBay with over 150 buys and sells over 7 or 8 years now. Let met tell you they are a slimely group and Craigslist is their worst nightmare. EBay doesn't see the writing on the wall which is that their service is living on borrored time. Why pay to post online??? I admit I do because there's a good working market there, but someday there will be a good working market without them. I look forward to that day.
I feel somewhat worried that people feel we have to get human life to other planets. It's kind of like an escape pod idea. We've got to solve the problems here. Let's make this place sustainable.
A dark way to look at this is that humans are an invasive species on this planet and it might be better for the universe if we just stayed put. Are we going to do to others like we did to the Native Americans, or wipe out species like we did in Hawaii? Kind of dark yes, but it is a reasonable argument.
NASA isn't running the show, the military is.
Believe me, I love NASA and support space exploration, but let's be realistic......if it weren't for the military man wouldn't have been on the moon in 1969 - it would have come later, perhaps much later, or not at all. The Sputnik response was fear, for defensive reasons. The space race was pretty much the same as the "missle gap", and it was no coincidence that they happened during the same era.
Why isn't Mars so much of a priority? One of the reasons is that there are so few benefits for the military.
Or why was the space shuttle so important? For science, or because it served the military's need for a certain size of spy satellites and testing. Remember when the Challenger exploded? Remember after the long time before the next mission? The first missions after that were military, because that was the priority.
Do you think Reagan loved shuttle science or that was the best way to get the Star Wars missile program he advocated? Oddly enough, Ronald Reagan, a huge supporter of NASA, also said that the big military build up in the early 80s would aid job creation.
I love the whole geek thing, but when you support NASA you're supporting what is first a military program and secondly a science mission.
What percentage of astronauts have been, or were in, the miltary?
Knowing this, I still support NASA and hope they receive more funding.
Hi,
I find it interesting that many are commenting, few are downloading. I won't download either, not until I hear it has some features worth checking out. So far, I haven't heard of any new wiz bang.
Netscape's track record in the last six years or so put most folks in the I'll try it later if it has great features buzz. Are they going to make me fill out a 3 page questionaire like what was that NS 6 or 7???
I don't understand why browsers are both so ubiquitious and so boring. In the last five years they've added css stuff and tabbed browsing - YAWN! I'm not excited about NS8. Please convince me that there is something to look at here.
peace
