  1. Supply Waypoints Needed on Mars Journal Issue Inspires Hundreds of One-Way Trip Volunteers · · Score: 0

    We should be designing and deploying intermediate Supply Stations between Earth and Mars. These could store supplies and be jump off points for the next "leg" of the journey. Instead of one trip taking 10 months. we can take 100 trips 1/2 or 1/3 of the way in 4 to 6 months and then shuttle between them. Ultimately we would have a constant shipping between points of materials.

    That's food for thought! Urp!

    with the environment. If I saw a chicken cross the road, I would just say, "Huh, a chicken!". But it could be a new species of chicken never before seen by "science" and i would think nothing of it. Just like seeing another lizard in the tropics. "Eew! a lizard!"

  7. Looking for free money on Toyota Sudden Acceleration Is Driver Error · · Score: 0

    It's like the bus accident on the news where 50 people file claims of injury for a bus that only holds 40.

  8. Re:This assumes... on Toyota Sudden Acceleration Is Driver Error · · Score: 0

    You are aware of the accidents ONLY because the news picked up on it. Accidents happen every day that aren't national or news worthy. It would be interesting to see it there are the same number of Toyota accidents on average before, and since.

  9. Cereal Boxes on Sony Unveils Flexible OLED Thinner Than a Hair · · Score: 0

    I can't remeber where, but I read that the first use of this would be for Cereal Boxes. They would use the moving images to attract peoples attention in the cereal aisle. Can you imagine if this were implemented on every flat surface we encounter on a daily basis?

  10. Separation on Cutting Umbilical Cord Early Eliminates Stem Cells · · Score: 0

    Ever since I was cut off I've spent all of my time trying to get back in there. But I'm not making much progress from my mother's basement here. :(

  11. No More Chance on Metrics Mania and the Countless Counting Problem · · Score: 0

    Increasing the number of times I spank the monkey a day isn't going to increase my chances of getting a girl into my basement. But I've lost count either way.

  14. Re:Hypothesis testing on The Voynich Manuscript May Have Been Decoded · · Score: 1

    Books today will say "see figure 23" and that could be three pages away from the text. So the text on the page may not necessarily match the illustration on that page.

  16. Re:No surprise here on Federal Judge Says Corps of Engineers Liable For Katrina Damage · · Score: 1

    Nowhere is 100% safe but build a city below sea level and it is certain that one day it will go under.

  17. No surprise here on Federal Judge Says Corps of Engineers Liable For Katrina Damage · · Score: 1

    They have had plenty of years to relocate the city inland to a safer area. They got what was coming to them. Anyone who bought property there had to know the risk. It was no secret that it was a flood zone. Same goes for people who decide to live next to a nuclear power plant, a volcano or an area notorious for tornados.The risk is obvious. Deciding to continue to live in these areas is the persons own fault. It is not like they are chained to their homes.There is no excuse, they could have walked away.

    The point is paying for content you don't want. I don't speak spanish so I do not need telemundo buy HAVE to pay for it. If cable/satelite TV were ALA CARTE then people would subscribe to that. Like Sirius XM with their ALA CARTE plans.

    And this is why they implemented throttling on the INet connections.
