"ir traffic control, hospitals, emergency response, or military weapons. Financial lives could be ruined if banks, investment, or pension instatutions"
None of which have any business being connected to the internet at large. Any jackass that does put mission-cricital services on the internet gets what they deserve.
What possible foreseable threat requires these kinds of weapons over ones we already have? This just doesn't make sense. I smell some boys in the lab wanting to do some expensive science, sitting around thinking "we can tell them it's weapons research... yeah, that's the ticket!"
All the kids will have to have both the Michael Melville and Brian Binnie action figures! They'll all want both the White Knight and SpaceshipOne toys! And M&Ms! (Hell, Mars should have a special commerative packagae out for Halloween!)
NASA, that is! They couldn't have done the X-15 series of flights if the Air Force hadn't given Boeing the money to develop the B-52. How many billions of dollars was that?!!!
Hell, Rutan designed his own launch platform, you lazy poofters!
For the greater part of history, music was entirely live performance and freely shared with everybody. Then, one dreary Monday, that evil Thomas Alva Edison invented a way to capture the music, trapping it in small wax cylinders. (You don't see the sainted Tesla inventing such deviant "recording" devices, now do you? I tell you, that Edison is a morally diseased mind.) Thence was born the record industry, and industry of vile middlemen who interrupted the free flow of music by imprisioning it in vinyl discs.
So you see, children, much like the mythical "copyright" the whole concept of "recorded" "music" is a mental fiction and at odds with the natural order of things. Kill your iPod now!
(I found it kind of scary that they said that the virus was probably still extant in the bodies, and that researchers were going to dig them up to get samples.)
I read in some bio somewhere that the key idea that Gates had back in his Basic days was convincing people to pay good money for a series of ones and zeros on a floppy that could be copied in three minutes. Remember, back then, the software industry was either : A)acadamia or B) in-house development. Who would want to buy SW "off the rack"?!!!
Linus popularized the idea that you should be able to take the source and build it yourself.
that the really radioactive stuff has a short halflife. We don't need to worry as much about the longer-lived stuff, because it's not that radioactive.
Damn kneejerk greenies all think that nuclear == teh evil. It's just a matter of proper risk analysis.
Not so much that the majority is dumb, more that they just don't care about all the minutae that the elite get their panties in a bunch about. Sort of like that "Swift Boat Vets for Truth" thang.
Slashdot Mirror
Oh, wait, I just described slashdot.
Although, if they did, I bet that would be something to see, now wouldn't it?

Yeah, but if you survive the spaceplane crash, the shadow government gives you a nifty new set of bionical limbs!
I think NASA already took care of that one.

Here's an appropriate mascot!
That's a typo. Lucas is planning to fix it in the DVD release.
Lucas is getting like Microsoft -- patching his mistakes provides a steady stream of revenue!
Very funny, now turn it down before the neighbors call the cops!

What makes you think that Microsoft is above harming innovation or damaging the economy?!!!

Thank you, I'll be here all weekend. Try the fish.
Because real gurus know how to do more with a lot less.

I've got eight megabytes of hot ram and my buyer isn't taking calls. I hope I can stay on step ahead of the Turing police!
If you were really '133t, you'd invent some sort of toolbelt to carry all your gizmos in!
I wear a ST-506 on a 3/4", chrome-plated chain around my neck! **BLING* *BLING**!!!
Yeah, but the Bushies like to take so many damn vacations, he's actually only "served" three months of his term! He could run yet again!
