I have a 'friend' who was in the Millitary and said they used to park the jets on the runway and just let them burn fuel because they had to spend the money if they wanted to get it again the next year.
Why not just play dumb and plead the "uhh I forgot the password" scenario? Are they going to hook him up to electricity and see if that jogs his memory?
I am tired of this "Web 2.0" slang. It's still the web, just now it's user-submitted content. Obviously webmasters (and I use that term loosely) are too lazy to handle updating their own content and making pages worth viewing and visiting.
If you are too lazy to maintain it - then get it 'off the air' - there's way too much junk out there from kids who got a free AOL "my page" or something like that.
I remember some of the days when NASA was new and shiny. I was born in 1969 a month after we landed on the moon (or did we?). I remember the start of the Shuttle program - they could all last for 99 flights each - WOW! I remember the Challenger explosion and how terrible it was. Good and bad times, it is way past time to move forward from being an intergalactic moving van company, to real scientists and astronauts who actually EXPLORE beyond our planet and moon. Let's get a person to Mars somehow - let's invest in George Lucas technology - NASA or someone was experimenting with ion engines for some time now - let's get Lucas' X-Wing blueprints and build the darn thing.
It's time to move ahead instead of being so stagnant for so many years. I thought I'd see some awesome timgs in my lifetime and so far, it's not been looking too good.
We're all reincarnated over and over so eventually we *WILL* be here for the final collapse of our home planet, or at least this one. We all came from Mars and after we destroyed that planet, we moved here to Earth and we're slowly repeating the destruction.
Fire every single nuclear 'anything' at the sun and give it a power recharge. Keep producing Neclear devices and keep sending them to the Sun. Every day, forever.
Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer said: "We have great respect for Yahoo!, and together we can offer an increasingly exciting set of solutions for consumers, publishers and advertisers while becoming better positioned to compete in the online services market. We believe our combination will deliver superior value to our respective shareholders and better choice and innovation to our customers and industry partners."...LOL "respect"? - Microsoft respects nothing! "..Solutions for consumers.."?
I know someone at the Ranch and I get a LucasFilm Christmas card every year! Love them. I always look forward the new designs. One year there was a card with like 8-10 panels - snowflakes.
Someone mentioned about McQuarrie and the prequels - yeah it's a shame the direction those films went in. The original 3 were made when Lucas cared about the story and just used the Special Effects (SPFX) to help tell that story.
The prequels ended up being about the SPFX and if they had time for a story, they'd get some of that in there too.
Anyhow - Haven't gotten a 2007 card yet - hope it comes soon!
This sounds like "Live Free or Die Hard" to me. Ooops I copied my own text to put it here in this message - did I just violate my own PC by copying my own words onto my own message?

1. All materials and such that go into getting men/women to Mars are FREE - just put sponsor labels on the rockets. Write a law banning NASA from having to pay for anything and for vendors from charging for anything.
2. Redirect the money that would have been spent, to families and individuals who needs it - homeless, poor, etc.
3. Pay incentives to get to Mars. Everyone at NASA get's minimum wage. Whe progress is seen, then they can make a little more. Reward them for progress not ineptitude.
4. Anyone (NASA, US Government) who fails to support and do everything in their power to help with the Mars project, is fired immediately, all of their benefits go to homeless (see # 2) NO GRACE PERIOD.
5. The President of the USA has *ZERO* power over NASA.
screw 2031. Everyone should understand that a Mars mission will be a one-way trip. We all came from Mars anyhow. We trashed Mars like we're trashing Earth. I bet if a doomsday asteroid was heading for Earth and will kill us all in 6 months, they would mysteriously have a plan to get to Mars/Moon in a few days.
Why have they abandoned talk and use of ion engine technology? I remember years back, postings of test being successful of ion-based engines. It would propel us to the moon/mars, etc extremely quickly.
Our only limitation is the desire to do something. That's why private enterprise is so important. They need to take the lead and get to Mars in the next few years. Forget the NASA made-up timeline.
Why would I want to bomb someone at Superonic speed anyhow? Last I checked, I can't see that fast, so I think I'd miss the target anyhow. We're all in too much of a rush, how about slowing down a little bit so you can be sure to hit the target?
I'm no expert but logic will always win the facts - politics will win the argument of course.
So will Google now use this in conjuction with giving out 'real' information about anonymous users so the Feds can find them with the GPS?
Nice idea!:--(
Zzzzzz..Huh? What I am awake. Why do I care about this? Will I ever be able to travel that far? What does it meant to me? Will my pizza get to ne any slower?
That image from China - if you look closley at the bottom-right, doesn't have a Google Earth logo? LOL:--) Nice try China. Stick to making plates and teacups. Maybe you can make a lander from all of the toys being sent back to you. Name suggestion - call your moon lander "The pb Express" - for those without chemistry knowledge, 'pb' is the atomic symbol for Lead.
What a great idea! Let's land a man on the moon! Too bad we didn't think of this 40 years ago...oh wait WE DID! Welcome to the 1960's China! Glad you caught up to us. Maybe if you switch gears really quickly, you can invent the VW Beetle bus too. How about a concert in on some farmland in New York?
As much as I hate the Telemarketer calls, I understand it's a money thing.
** READ THIS ** --> Call if you have to but when I tell you NO THANKS and DO NOT EVER CALL AGAIN - do it! DO NOT CALL ME EVER AGAIN. That was my Opt Out.
If you would follow this rule for EVERYONE you called, eventually you would make a ton of money because you would only call people who WANTED you to call.
I am NEVER going to answer the phone for you so why waste YOUR time? No sale!

Bean bags and frisbees are the wave of the future...welcome to the 1960's Peace and Love...

Richard Gere would agree on this I think...
"It's been talked about that some people are afraid to try VISTA - who are these people?"
"Make your own bread" ?? Why that's crazy talk. It'll never happen. That's like asking me to use a blender to make my own drink.
This has already been done - it's called VONAGE. I use it and love the voicemail features of the service. Visual voicemail and audio voicemail.

Where do you live? Nevermind, I can find it...

What? Humans are MEANT to go back to their home planet of Mars. Did you not watch the Star Wars films? Didn't you know those are documentaries?
WOW this article was a waste of my time. 5 seconds I'll never get back.
