That's pretty much a Troll question. You should obviously be asking the people who would have developed the stuff. But because you are a NASA Fanboy who is playing the role of the ignorant fool, then I really don't see the point in answering. Riddle me this Troll-boy; how did the Pyramids get built if NASA wasn't around to build them?
I'm obviously out of my league here, as I am in the Mac discussion areas. (I'll lay my head on the alter for replying to a Troll, and wait for the Moderation to commence).
The sad thing is that people who lie on the test (and are consistent about it) are the ones that are going to get hired.
Take for example, "It would be better if almost all laws were thrown away". Now considering that this test is for the police force, it's obvious that the Human Resource types aren't interested in hiring a civil Libertarian, however purely philosophical he is in his beliefs.
I do not always tell the truth
If you answer "False" to this (like I would), then you would also be weeded out as a liar. Because well, most people lie most of the time, and according to the HR types, if you don't admit to lying then you are just a dishonest liar.
I have often had to take orders from someone who did not know as much as I did
This question is pretty much biased against geeks, or anybody who loves knowledge and education. The police (and companys in general) want people who can take orders without question.
TAKE NOTE: I have no inside knowledge, but I'm just making some educated guessing, and adding a bit of deduction to what I already know. Just my two cents as they say. In general with these types of tests it seems like they are looking for somebody average and socially adjusted (witch often isn't usually a good thing when average isn't a good thing. But I shall not bring authoritarian societies into the equation).
You are supposed to answer them as True or False. I'm presuming that they are looking for consistency in answering similar types or categories of questions.
From what I saw of the test, the questions seem pretty straight forward (unless I am missing something). For example, one of the true and false questions is "Evil spirits possess me at times?".
Now I'm going to guess that the correct answer is "no". It may not be the honest answer, but I'm assuming it is the correct answer.
Re-framing again, congratulations. You and your Fanboys have unclaimed assertions and you say I am a Troll for asking you to be accountable. No that is a dishonest argument on your part.
Unfortunately it is people like you, and the Moderator who labeled me Flamebait who are Trolls. Being a Fanboy, whether it be a Mac Fanboy, a Religious Fanboy, a NASA Fanboy, or any type of Fanboy for that matter, will never help an argument. Just because you and your people label me Troll does not mean you win an argument.
What I say is honest and based on logic. I'm not going nowhere. Just because you don't like what I say does not change reality.
I tried to help people here to prove their points by giving them reasonable questions to answer, but instead of answering the questions people like you just re-frame the argument and try to make me look like a Troll. It's very hypocritical, but it certainly is a successful propaganda technique.
Unfortunately for NASA, this is the reason most people would want to get rid of NASA, because it would be many thousands of times more cost efficient to develop those things directly for utilitarian Earth bound industries rather than having indirect spin-offs through NASA. What a waste:(
You sound like an apologist. It's sad because I never did say anything negative about NASA. There is generally no need to defend if nothing is wrong. OK, I did mention the word "money pit", yes, but I did not say I was against money pits.
Answer this question for me: How much more science could be done here on Earth (or in space) if NASA didn't have to spend billions of dollars every year sending people into space?
You also never answered my previous question as to how much science per dollar NASA and its tax payers are getting for their effort.
Yeah! What the fuck have we ever gotten from NASA? Pretty pictures?
Largely. I did enjoy the National Geographic spreads when I was a kid. Your question would have been more relevent if it dealt directly with the space station. I would be interested to know how much scientific knowledge per dollar we are getting out of this program. I do know the Russians are certainly profiting from the tourism aspect of the space station.
No! It was NASA's genius to get a name-brand late-night comedy show host as a major unpaid endorsement to a multi-billion dollar government money pit, I mean research program.
those usually go in the trash ASAP, I haven't paid a single one... hehehe, catch me if you can coppers...
If you read the article, you would realize that this is law and order, think-of-the-children Britain we are talking about. Haven't you been reading those daily YRO Slashdot stories about Mother England for the past decade? Or have you been getting your information from the Mistry of Truth?
Indeed. If your heart rate is going too fast then she will know you are looking at dirty pictures on the Internet, and so she won't have to deal with the unreliable Internet Filters that are out there. If your heart rate is going too slow then she'll know you've been drinking and can ground you. It is not just a health tool, it can be a good parenting tool, as well as something that can be used by employers and insurance companies to keep your premiums down (and their profit margins up). I'm sure any restrictive privacy laws will be amended to ensure this technology can be exploited for the betterment of society and our corporate world.
You are labeled a Troll, but I do distinctly remember reading an article that explains that a lot of ISPs do actually route around the USA because of its surveillance policies. Actually, it was quite easy to Google for information: The Internet interprets the USA as damage and routes around it. Your Troll moniker is certainly unjust.
Wow you have a lot of friends with a lot of hatred in them. They moderate all my Informative posts Troll and Flamebait, and they leave your Flamebait post up-moderated as Informative. It really shows the amount of hatred and hypocrisy in your community.

Yours is a thoughtful response. Everybody else seems to knee-jerk a response into the ribs.

Yeah I figured. I actually just finished giving a more thorough explanation. Ref: http://ask.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1172865&cid=27308423

How do you answer that one if evil spirits possess you *all* the time?
I guess you just need to find the answer key for the questions.
And now for the standard disclaimer: Legal advice is given by an attorney duly admitted to practice law...
Bullshit. I'm not a lawyer and I give legal advice all the time, sometimes on things I'm barely competent to even talk about.

Well, I've been told before in the real world that I'm not the sharpest knife in the kitchen.
Re-framing again, congratulations. You and your Fanboys have unclaimed assertions and you say I am a Troll for asking you to be accountable. No that is a dishonest argument on your part.
Just had a look, and I've noticed that you NASA Fan-boys are Troll-labeling other posters who are not distinctly pro-NASA as well. It's too bad.
Go away, troll.

Naming it Xenu would have hurt Scientology, not helped it. Xenu is considered top secret by the Church of Scientology and its lawyers...
So you are implying that it was the Scientologists who voted for Colbert and gamed the system against Xenu?
Yeah! What the fuck have we ever gotten from NASA? Pretty pictures?

The most bombastic speaker who appeals to the most retards wins.
I don't want to say anything about our current President, but...
You may be confusing Obama with Bush
Xenu is the galactic overlord from Scientology myth
Xenu is NOT a myth! I take it you are not a Scientologist.

Several studies by groups ... have shown that there is no conclusive link between video games and violent activities
It doesn't matter. When there is an agenda then correlation is the most important statistic. However, it could be that he was just a gun enthusiast...
It would be good for your mother to know.
