Yes, you are quite right, except there is already a dog fight between Twenty Metre Telescope and Ten Metre Telescope to register for the acronym TMT, so, glad you quit the the party of idiocy and warm welcome to the party of ambiguity
Here is how you can beat the ban of humans on Mars:
Just go lobby the Congress into believing that the arid, Afghanistan-looking planet is a socialist state that painted itself all red, supplies illegal immigrants and exports products that could cause severe health problems. You don't even need to suggest it is in development of nuclear weaponry, once Mars gets the attention, any journalist looking for quick fame will release a "breaking news" that our spy satellites have found bomb testing sites. Not to mention the famous "they'll follow us home" scenario study with countless versions of simulations that can be slipped into the appendix section.
Then in no time you will see some 250,000 men up on the planet automatically without NASA having to spend/ask for a dime.
"The City Council has not yet approved the funding." => Slashdot space-time continuum distorter(TM) => "schools in the Alabama city will be the first US students to make use of the XO laptop."
There, fixed.
No you had it wrong. It's Ecma Computer Manufacturers Association.
Seriously: It acquired its name in 1994, when the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) changed its name to reflect the organization's international reach. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecma_International
>South Korea said it was drawing up a code of ethics to prevent human abuse of robots -- and vice versa
WTF, go regulate your own ass! Whatever a fully grown adult and a fully certified robot do in a private bedroom is none of your government's f***ing business!
I thought corporations and free market took care of optimal usage of fossil fuel and only big-govt Democrats'd advocate subsidies for ethanols and all those bullshit alternatives... oh, wait...

Unfortunately that particular market is already saturated with an overwhelming number of much more qualified modern day counterparts.
THIS IS WHY:

WoW, that's a lot of W's in there, reminds you of someone dear?
oh yeah i remember that road, the damn cop caught me for doing vivace
Dark ...but some police departments interpreted it to refer to the ethnicity of the offending driver, as opposed to how crispy you wanted them to be.
So this is your petty explanation for police brutality against ethnic minors?
By speaking out with a de-facto RTFA comment, you have now acquired the level "Old_Noiseus" :)
That's four.
by making your point you secured several bytes of the stack too :)

to see tech-junkie nerds of /. behave like hormone-driven mothers who'd cheer at pedophiles being castrated
Don't know much about Japan but in Russia, Judo-capable ironman is in charge of ministries!
