This is by far the most obvious way to deal with the problem to me too, and allows conventional law (copyright for images, trademark for names, etc) to resolve copycat developers.
NASA could always do with more funding. They re-pitch the idea that Mars has the building blocks for life and will require a few more $$$ to go back an explore it properly. They see an opportunity with a miserable failure in charge to fool him into signing another cheque.
Personally I think it's a long way to go. Why can't the Mars fossils get off their lazy backsides and come here for a change?;)
I was pretty introverted and didn't particularly enjoy team sports at school either. Fifteen years after leaving school and having only done introverted sports like rock climbing and mountain biking, I joined a friendly rowing club.
It was the best thing I ever did - social contact, structure in my life (getting out of the house instead of surfing slashdot) and the best fitness I ever had was just a bonus.
I believe that with PayPal being so deeply-rooted in the online finance business (read, PayPal is NOT a bank), this little venture will take off like a Saturn V rocket with a barrage of strapon scramjets.
A much better use for supermarket loyalty cards.... give a tramp a home.
Let me explain. In the UK some bank ATM (cash points) are inside the bank building and the only way to get in (out of hours) is by swiping your ATM card to make the door open (the rest of the bank is shuttered off). I assume this is to stop tramps using it as a place to sleep. However I discovered that a supermarket loyalty card also lets you in. So if you really hate supermarket loyalty cards, you can now put them to good use and give a tramp a warm place to sleep.:-)
I agree completely on the value of Usenet as a resource for finding answers to technical problems but it seems increasingly that the questions are being posed but there are no answers!
Is this because the questions are getting harder to answer or because they are being drowned out in the noise or barriers are in the way to reply to them?

Concur. Three is the best performing network in London, though far from perfect. However I was on Voodoofone before and it was truly woeful for data.
Which means four men is going to mess with the aerodynamics as well, with two strapped to the roof!
I thought the same, then reminded myself of the transport system here.

1. don't get the alien wet, or it immediately reproduces more of its kind asexually by budding from its back
2. ???
3. keep the alien away from bright lights... especially sunlight. this will kill it
4. and don't ever feed the alien after midnight
5. Profit!

Be thankful for small favors. Glad I don't work in your office!
Should help with the petition for a shower at work.

You can't use big words like "onamatopoetic" as it is too wide for my WAP display. :-)
How about a morse code goatse?

Yep NSA bag "won"* it. That was soooooo cool though. :-)
* don't think there was a prize. If there was, I might have dug out my old Acorn RiscPC carrier bag...
They got cats? They're getting married!?
There'll be mini-Tacos everywhere before you can say CowboyNeal!
OK, So when every Slashdot user has posted to this thread (which I reckon has received more postings than Sept 11 posts) - who will moderate?
Released in Novemember. I got it for Christmas but haven't had time to read it.
Got lots of pictures, but plenty of text too.

The annoying sound of the wind whistling through a tiny gap in the window you get in a car when driving along at 70mph...
Clearly what is required is to be rid of the low response arm and have your mouse pointer driven directly by your brain.
:-)
Then maybe I could get rid of my entire legacy body and live as a brain in a jam jar.
