I just realized that by sending up more than a handful of nationally picked personnel, would require some sort of rule of law. Well, who will determine this? Should the Martian follow their "Launching states" laws? Their nationalities laws? What happens when another country, with their own culture and laws, sends out their own 1 million people? Will we need to start dividing Mars up into counties already?
For the love of god, if you are going to post an article about 15 of anything, please do some research and include what the 15 somethings are!! I am tired but even the original article did not list these super dangerous agents. Must be super duper secret!
Seems like either the article author or submitter are self-sensoring, or do not give enough credit to the average slashdot reader to understand biological naming conventions.
This reminds me of a requirement we had on a hardware project once. There was a status indicator LED on the device. The requirements were that the the LED needed to be visible to an operator within 3 meters, but must not be visible at any distance further than 3m.
Then i found outnhow much blood banks were making selling donated blood to hospitals and other places that nneded blood or plasma. It was discusting, not to mention the huge salaries that were supported basted on these fees. I think one story was based on the Central Florida Blood Bank. I think NPR's Planet Money did a show on this also. Do not believe all those " our reserves are low, donate now". Sorry, it was Radio Lab - http://www.radiolab.org/story/...
This then brings up the important question, how do you "...Restrict the use of a a 3D printer to make guns.."? Is it at the hardware level, with some analysis engine used to determine if the shape matches some predetermined "firearm" pattern? Is it in the 3D CAD software that flags weapon like designs? or does it get so bad that the purchase of any 3D printer (CNC machine, mill, lathe, drill press, sander, dremel, will also eventually fall into this category) will require the purchaser to jump through hoops similar to steps needed to purchase class 3 firearms? Afterward, the operator will have to be licensed to operate the machine and personally verify the design being generated.
Along this same line of thought, why doesn't somewone setup a long term experiment and wireshark all the data that is coming out of the new xbox? Lets see what is being sent out or not. True, it will most likely be encrypted, but at least some traffic analysis woud be interesting. And large bursts of data? Any activity when someone walks in?
So, you are saying that if I, in theory, build a super high gain antenna to capture a tv signal from New York and view it at my home in Florida, i am, how did you say it... "...stealing Content?"
That is not copyright infringement fool, that's physics.

Yeah, no one would see this except you, me, and all the people on slashdot, and every person who reads a news story about it.
That's unpossible
I owe you 1 point...
Just waterproofing. Nothing like Slashdot in the tub.
...oh did i mention that we just adopted a new baby boy?

Please excuse my misspellings, as I am in the bathtub.

You know, I'm starting to like this guy.
Someone used the word "implosion" correctly.
I was being sarcastic...
What is it... this ethernet you speak of?

NSA - "Look, this guy does not seem to be brushing in enough of an 'American' manner, lets keep an eye on him."
The NSA has compromised the Juno probe and will collect all of your metadata.
Before somebody without much of a clue mods the parent down, please allow me to point out that 9! = 9 factorial = 362880.
Good point... I'm going to mod him down anyway...
