I wonder if they had moderation?
Poster one, "Hey I found NEO a 1,000 miles out" +1 Interesting
Poster two, "That's odd. I just found one 900 miles out" +1 Interesting
Poster three, "That's cool, the one I just spotted is 800 miles but I can't tell what direction it's headed in?' +1 Interesting
Poster four, "You're all wrong it's 500 miles out and stationary. I'd guess it's 50 miles across. Wait I looked again, it's still fixed in the sky but I was wrong it's 75 miles across, er maybe a 100" +1 Funny

Poster six, "That's nothing. There's two moons in the sky only one is really, really big. I wonder............." -1 Overrated
I know this was posted in jest but you may not be far off when it comes to a "defense" for such a system. Internet sock puppetry could get a whole lot more interesting.
Indeed, comrade! Will discuss further plans over drinks, da?
So I purposely write posts knowing that they're doing it and designed to further any agenda *I* might have.
Occupy Wall Street everywhere in America!!:D
Write a circular agenda (that being one which dependencies on sub-agendas, which continue in a never ending circle, or even a moebius loop!) and see if you can cause a stack overflow and the biggest core dump in history.:D
Nevermind that, if violating an order, by taking the camera back with them had been sufficient to affect the launch from the Moon and created an Apollo 13 like crisis (or even killed the astronauts) would it be OK?
Apollo astronauts weren't retards. There was a significant margin in return mass and no chance that a 16mm camera would take them over that margin unless they were already in 'an Apollo 13 like crisis'.
Heck, it's not like they weighed every moon rock before the return trip to make sure they didn't have too many.
Well done. You haven't answered the question but shifted it to another topic. Have you considered your future as a prospective presidential candidate?
The conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day with this one...

I'd join the protest if I wasn't taking care of my Mother after my Father died. I think it's a crock how things are but I also feel the top 1% aren't fully to blame. The 99% needs to learn to not be asleep at the wheel half the time and learn to say no together in order to get things done like boycotting things and not just go for "I got mine, too bad about yours" deals.
I blame the politicians who claim that 1% are sacred cows. Something rather sick about the way they keep protecting them and demanding they get tax cuts (which have proven not to help the economy or encourage investment.)
Though I think protesting on the Capitol Mall might be more effective - I'm pretty fed up with the GOP bending over backward for Wall Street and weeping about poor Bankers and Wall Street when the call for better regulation was made after the banking crisis. Also rather sore about the bonuses being paid, right after the bailouts. A lot of the rhetoric regarding "we have to leave these people alone because they enable our economy" fell on my deaf ears - the economy took a right battering thanks to their blind pursuit of margins and percentages on return, never mind the risk.
Well whenever there is something new people try it out and realize it isn't like what they are use to and go back to the old way. Confident that they are not a close minded individual.
It's an expected reaction. I'm certain the migration from MySpace to Facebook took time, too. Give Google+ time. Facebook is so idiotic I'm looking forward to not going there if I can help it, which is about the way I felt about MySpace.
In the future this will be looked back on as being as stupid as McCarthyism. Looking for terrorists under every bed and around every corner, monitoring people's bodies for signs of terrorist intent...the terrorists have won beyond their wildest dreams. And if we examine Pearl Harbor as precedent, none of us will live to see the damage undone.
Sorry, dude, but they're already doing that.. been doing it for years. All your email, all your telephone calls, everything you do online which can be connected to you by IP address or account activity (such as GMail, Hotmail, ATT.NET, etc.) They tracked down that Craigslist Killer pretty amazingly fast, didn't they? It's stored somewhere and the spooks can reference it fast if they decide there's a need, real or imagined.
Even activity on such a subversive site as Slashdot is being... hold on, doorbell
Who needs to see your papers? We already know you're a criminal, now look directly into the camera so we can determine just what you're guilty of...
Thank you for your forced compliance. Sincerely, DHS.
How about a modern re-issue of the original Castle Wolfenstein, where the player tries to successfully go to the Grocery, Bank and ultimately Shopping Mall past DHS agents?
No, the logic of that post is perfectly clear. Someone says bank CEOs screwing up hurts everyone but those CEOs. Like people who have lost jobs, or can't get one, after bank CEO screwups destroyed the economy's growth, and the jobs with it. Herman Cain says it's the jobless person's own fault for not having a job - and even their own fault they're not rich. The contrast is that Cain says it isn't the bank CEO's fault people don't have jobs, it's their own fault.
But that's obvious. Except perhaps to a Republican, er "Libertarian", like you. Who spent the entire Bush era telling us Chewbacca was on Endor whenever people complained that deregulation was killing us.
I hadn't done any research on Cain, as I usually get anyone running for President a few months to flesh out their views and see whether they have a chance or not. The dumb ones usually implode, like Perry is currently doing. I was quite taken aback by the magnitude of profound stupidity of Herman Cain's statement - the man should stick to what he knows, slinging pizza.

Facebook knows everything there is to know about you.
It even knows where you put the keys you lost.
They won't tell you where your keys are- but they sure do know.
I wonder if the source the data out to Santa Claus...
You did opt-in. Did you not read the TOS? It's your own fault for not reading it fully.
wut?

Still gotta admire his Space Gumption!
You'd think anything purposely designated to be left on the Moon is about as abandoned as property can get.
And in internationally accepted practice, such as naval salvage, you're entitled to it.
What do you suppose will happen, though, if some unethical weasel goes to the moon, gloms onto some of the artifacts and brings them back?
Uh, huh. Gummint suddenly revises the rules, but saying there's no rule and then takes the unethical weasel to court. Two wrongs, sorta fing.
Wait until they get to the Zapruder film from the moon.

My Slashdot Moderation Predictor (Patent Pending) predicts this post will be modded down!
With just a little tweaking it will also detect incorrect meta moderation.
Nothing but attention whoring, they shouldn't be given press at all.
They shouldn't have a tax-free status, either.
Hotmail? I think I block anything from there. That's spammer haven as far as I'm concerned.
