Seems like this could be extremely useful if humans could have it. I know, pain has a useful biological purpose, but humans are smart enough to know that red liquid coming out of you = bad without being too incapacitated by pain to properly put the bandage on.
It was pretty bad. The interesting part only lasted about five minutes and it was just a collection of long, boring space scenes. Maybe I can't appreciate it without reading the book first but I can't see anything excellent about it.

Some of the damage caused by radiation is caused by apoptosis, the suicide mechanism. But don't knock it - it's the reason why you don't get cancer every other week.
wires, what wires?: The Internet goes wireless, with the invention of Wifi (circa 1991 - yes, really that old)
Even better, eliminate ISPs! Imagine if each computer - desktops, netbooks and smartphones alike - could participate in the process of moving packets around - at least within a city every computer could be connected in a completely decentralized way. You would still need services for some rural cases and for moving stuff between cities but they would become mostly obsolete.
Maybe we can combine all of these ideas together. Tabs should be diagonal, and come out vertically in between keys whenever you type something on your keyboard. And none of this rounded-off-corner crap, it should be a perfect 90 degree angle.
Don't forget the #1 rule of manned space flight: *you* don't get to go.
I thought the whole point of manned space flight was to eventually get large numbers of people out of Earth and onto other planets. It's the next logical step in human expansion.
suicide is the single most selfish act a person can commit.
If you're a normal, productive person, sure (I don't think it, or assisting it should be illegal though). But if you're leeching thousands of dollars of healthcare money every day, I think it's the ultimate sacrifice for the public good.
Imagine this is your first time encountering software. Imagine that Windows is a black box, where you put keystrokes and mouse movements in, some magic happens, and you can manipulate your data and put it on the screen. However, this black box is also connected to the internet, so it can, in theory, allow other people to peek into your private documents, log your passwords as you enter them, and do anything else with the data you put into the box. Inspecting the box to see if the manufacturer is doing any of this is deliberately made difficult and it is a crime. Now, there is also another OS, called Linux, which is a box with its lid removed, so you (or at least thousands of members of the community knowledgeable enough to understand it) can make sure that it does only what you want it to do.
Tell me, how do you feel about installing proprietary software on your machine now?

A syphilis corridor? Now what could that be?

That particular terminology war is over. We lost.
Here's your stuff, don't even bother entering this building this morning, we've changed all your passwords already.
Halfway thru the trip they vote to eject someone.
Half the viewers would not understand why after they eject someone it doesn't happen for 15 minutes.
I think you're on to something. Me, I would pirate everything my connection allows for.
Human expansion is one of the goals of civilization. It's why we colonized the new world, and it's why we are going to colonize Mars.
Indeed - if we had never entered the middle east and scrapped the bailouts, we could have increased NASA's funding by almost an order of magnitude.

I find it's more logical - the URL is part of the tab, not the other way around.

if you do have a criminal background, you should be discouraged against
I disagree with this. How can criminals become productive members of society if they get ostracized?

I, for one, am quite happy they're patenting it.
such a large component of libertarians
Weird, I see a large component of libertarian haters who don't even understand what libertarianism is.
Someone send over 63 pirated songs then.
What if we use thousands of nukes, ie. the ones the anti-proliferation people want us to decommission?
That doesn't include being killed by small asteroids. Or winning secondary prizes in the state lottery.
"We will push it out of orbit or, if you pay us well, we'll just redirect it by a few thousand kilometers to the country of your choice..."

By definition, only half of articles can be duplicates. If you go beyond that, they become "trips".
