    NASA will help by:
    Providing the possiblity of more places to live.
    Increasing medical research to keep people alive in space. All advances will go to the medical industry.
    Research into insulation matierials. Of witch some currently would be able to insulat a house to the point that you would not need to provide a heat source other than the human body.

    The problems you mention are all very specificly being worked on by NASA. In fact it is sometimes difficult to come up with something that doesn't get worked on by NASA.

    The only problem with well funded public school systems is you end up rewarding failure. How do you distribute funds?
    Do you look at what schools are doing well and divert funds from them to the ones that are doing poorly?
    Where is the incentive to do well?
    Where is the incentive to not do poorly?

    The only way to combat this is to have student vouchers and allow students to attend what ever school they want, while allowing for private schools to accept these vouchers. Then slowly drop all funding coming from the government going directly to public schools and allow them only to get funding from student vouchers.

    yes exactly, and sometimes I would like a "I'm shopping flag" because it seems several times I will be looking for a place to buy a rare or antique item because I will be getting all kinds of sites about the item but nobody selling it.

    Nothing about Grammar and Content. Much like reading slashdot where you have to read between the typos they want to make sure Google can do the same thing.

    google needs a "I'm not shopping flag" you can put into the search string like !shopping or something. Maybe I will suggest that on that link up a few posts.

    Couldn't we follow this up the chain and blame microsoft, or any other software provider named in a suit, for putting out software that is suseptiable to this sort of activity. Sure we could just blame everybody. The ISP for not blocking it, the phone company for providing lines, everyone on the internet for being targets of spam and consumers of spammers wares. The persons parents for not raising him right. If we blame enough people maybe the one person really responsable wont have to worry about anything.

    Doesn't this imply almost the oposite of what you say. Isn't it more like pay $400 for a video card and 6 months later a new twice as fast $400 card comes out, well the one I bought 6 months ago is only $40 now, sli twice as fast as my old card and only $40. By the time I needed quad cards they'd be in the bargin bin $10 with $10 rebate.
