The creator expects the site to be used by users that don't need all the "extra features". But, the problem is that only experience tech savvy individuals will ever find out about this site. So, I don't think it'll be very successful.
I to also think it's important that we collect the necessary data that will allow use to make new advances and discoveries. But, after all of the space exploration and mars rover missions I still don't see anything significant that justifies the money spent. Yes, perhaps one day the planet will die and we may all need to move to Mars, or some other planet. But, until that day is 1000 years a head of us, or less, I would like to see some valuable discoveries that shows this is money well spent. But, I do believe, and I think they people at NASA also believe this as well (at least to a degree), that we should be going out there with "theories" and try to prove or disprove them. In that sense what have we proven and disproved? Why do you think I'm attacking NASA. I'm for what they are doing. But, from time to time the general public may like to know what is going on. What have you found or discovered. Show me something, so we can feel good when more money gets sent your way. Otherwise don't complain when your funding get cut down. Also, lets keep this discussion relating to the article. I'm not even going to respond to this comment: "it keeps government cash from otherwise being thrown down the rathole of futile social engineering or bureaucrat full-employment programs". By the way, you haven't answer the question posed in the subject. You've only attach me in a political, religious and philosophical sense.

Well, is there water on Mars or microbes, bacteria, aliens? What have we discovered? Have we learned anything from the rock samples or pictures? Can you give me something that justifies all of this money spent? I like the romantic idea of NASA inspiring young kids to enter the fields of math and sciences just as much as the next person. But, we've spent a lot of money on these missions. Can you justify the money spent by telling me what we've learned? And how what we've learned can improve humanity? Tell me they haven't just been playing in an enormous dust field for 4 yrs. Perhaps, NASA just hasn't provided that great of an avenue to get this information out.
If you look at a place like Hawaii, whose plant and animals had been living in perfect harmony for thousands of years. Many of its native plants and animals were killed invasive species brought over by ships and planes. I'm just saying that it's difficult for insects to cover the earth without this assistance. And if they are to be a one of the major contributing factors to the demise of the dinosaurs they would need a more effective way to traverse major bodies of water.
Also, I know I said reptiles, but the fact is that crocodiles were around during the time of the dinosaurs. So, why didn't the death by insect happen to them as it did to dinosaurs? After all they do live in prime mosquito reproducing environment.
I will give you the argument that all dinosaurs were NOT killed by insects. I admit I didn't read the article until after posting the comment.
It seems very unlikely that a whole planet of dinosaurs were killed by insects. It is actually very difficult for insects to cover an entire continent, let alone move from continent to continent. In current times, insects stowaway on ships and planes to travel large distances and between continents. Also, if this were true regarding reptiles, what about crocodiles? They've been living much longer than any of the dinosaurs and the lived in conditions where mosquitoes thrive. How do you explain them?
The article says, after taking the vaccine your body will now identify and rid itself of cocaine. Thus, you won't get any sort of high even if you continue to take the drug. Now, it seems to me, if I were a drug addict, and one drug is no longer working I'd just move on to another. One that will give me the high that I need. Basically, the vaccine doesn't suppress the craving, but rather just inhibits your body from satisfying it with cocaine. This is easily circumvented by shooting up, snorting or swallowing another drug.

I waited 6 years to get back on slashdot. And now i can watch pretty girls dance on youtube.

Wow, I think time should be measured in manner in which all "HUMANS" can comprehend. Perhaps you should use metric time...lol.
