Internet-Fixer Man!!! With his large hoard of anonymous, probably overweight, definitely awkward, mostly perverted, could be educated, willing to take risks, bunch of trolls from 4CHAN, he's going to fix the internet in no time flat!
Basically, imagine that NASA is an inefficient huge gas guzzler - say, a Hummer.
Imagine that ESA is a small fleet of more gas efficient but boring compact cars - say, a Saab representing Sweden, a Volvo representing Germany, a Fiat representing Italy... you get the idea. Let's say there's about 11 cars, plus a bicycle from Canada I guess.
Now, somehow stuff all those cars into the Hummer, put a rocket on it, and launch it to Mars.
You forgot to mention that Canada is also sending the cool robotic arm that drives the rocket.
As an atheist Canadian, I've very concerned with recent Canadian privacy policies. It seems we're drifting further from our ideals of freedom towards the strict, big-brother-like system that Britain is implementing. I'll be paying strict attention to this, and if this is passed as law, well, unified-theory-of-the-universe help us all!
You buy a PC before April 23, 2010, you can get XP on it. Buy it after that date and you can't get XP on it. IT wants XP because it doesn't know whether Windows 7 will support everything it needs and doesn't want to use Vista because it sucks.
How does this effect computing, I wonder. I've heard that buckyballs have some interesting electrical properties (in passing conversation so I can't recall what they are). Could someone elaborate on how "buckystrings" could be used for electrical applications?

I bet I could throw up a 100 pounds... oh shit, wrong website... :(

This is human error. When will people learn not to make peoples' name the primary key... :/
Well, yeah. Apple has a strict policy against duplication of core functionality.
I thought 45nm was the lowest chip size that was being manufactured (at least right now). Am I missing something here?
No, Mr. Bean, you can't.

Running IE on Linux is like rubbing tainted semen on the outside of a condom. You're doing it wrong!
Does it support copy & paste?
There's no money to be made being simple (or so Microsoft probably believes).

This sounds like a job for Linux, man!
No editing? :(... I used "effect" when I meant affect. Damn.

Well, you could always hope that they make Opera 10 the default browser in China and exploit its webserver capabilities...
