From Wikipedia:
"When planetary scientists began to have a need to discuss Venus in detail, an adjective was needed. Based on Latin principles, the correct adjectival form of the name would be Venerean. However, this term has an unfortunate similarity to the word venereal as in venereal diseases (related to "Venerean" as martial is to "Martian"), and is not generally used by astronomers.[1] The term Venusian is etymologically messy (similar to saying "Earthian" or "Jupiterian"), and a "cleaner" version was desired."
Zero is pretty limited, yes. Also, there will never be a Martian colony. Ever. Put that fantasy to rest.
True. Nor are we "going to the stars". What a load of fantastical sci-fi rubbish. Generations of moron children raised on cardboard television sets depicting swashbuckling interstellar captains screwing green alien chicks. Grow up already.

Discrimination is morally-justified when it's really just revenge dressed up as diversity.
Earth clearly has water, and we think Mars was much, much wetter billions of years ago, and many scientists theorize Venus once had an abundant liquid water supply, so if so, that's three planets within a band of the Solar System, and thus is stands to reason that liquid water exists at least in similarly configured extra solar systems, right? Of course that doesn't answer the question of whether water is either endogenous or exogenous, or a little of both, but if asteroids and comets can carry water, enough to populate perhaps three planets, why can't the planets themselves carry a proportional abundance of water? Then again, I'm no planetologist, so I'm probably barking out my asshole.
So the mammoth was killed by humans. And this is news, how?
I'd be far more surprised if they had found a hominid-disarticulated apatosaurus, as would most educated people, which excludes creationists, naturally.
Very ugly in design and crudely manufactured. Much bigger than the reference insect as well, and I suspect it's not much more than a sensor or two, a little motor, a battery, and a wireless unit. Doubtful it can walk up walls, or even steep inclines, which means it's little more than a crude skittering thing with a ridiculous and unnecessary carapace glued to the top of its carriage.
Torrented it from KAT. Godfuckingawful "film". It's like Salt without any of that film's superior aspects. Immediately deleted it. To think people are being sued for $750 for a film that isn't worth what Wal-Mart would charge for it from their discount bin is shocking, and more evidence that the law in the US is easily perverted for profit.
It all comes down to money. You don't cheat the global money mafia.
Screw with the actual mafia, and they might break your legs. Steal their money and they encase you in concrete and dump you off the coast. Same thing here.
Same thing with the justice system. Steal a movie from Wal-Mart, get a suspended jail sentence with fines. Fail to pay those fines, and you go to jail till you pay them off. Just think what Wal-Mart would do to you if they had control over your punishment.
Always follow the money. It's the one universal constant of human civilization.
I think EA needs to check their facts. Sending in letters to let a corporation know you do not approve of their behavior isn't 'harassment', it's freedom of speech, which is precisely why it is enshrined within the founding documents of the United States of America, and simply because letter senders speak from a position many deem 'unacceptable' doesn't violate that groups right to speak on behalf of their beliefs, unless you think everyone is required to accept homosexuality.
Seems to me EA also missed the part whereby some thousand or more game-players exercised their right to free speech with respect to Mass Effect 3's ending, which seems odd to me, as it would appear it's quite acceptable to decry a video games ending like children throwing a tempter tantrum, but if you write a company to criticize their choice to popularize life-styles that conflict with your personal and cherished beliefs, your letters are labeled 'political harassment'.
But I guess manipulating the masses is one good quality of every successful video game company.
For the record, I'm a independent atheist, but everyone has the right in my opinion to say what they want, and if the US continues trending in it's current direction, the following link portends our future:

Not really where I want to see civilization trend.
Regardless of where you stand on homosexuality, citing nature's activities as defense of homosexuality is entirely illogical.
Animals, within the context of their natural environs, commit a variety of acts humans would never even think to tolerate within civilization, so when you say "well, look, all the animals do it so it's immediately acceptable for humans to do it, too" you offer me, and everyone else, the unmitigated authority to condone pretty much anything.

Venerean sounds like venereal. That's why it's not used. Seriously. Whoever upvoted you is a moron.
Fresh, solid and intelligent articles on TECH, and a banning of any and all trolls. Start there.
You really don't understand how this Internet thing works, do you?
If only I had mod points. Good comment. Sad when the smartest comments come from ACs.
So you'd have no real issue if I decided to eat you and your family, because I'm hungry? Oh, that's right. The right to live applies only to humans.

Should have named it Enterprise.

News for Nerds? Check. Stuff that matters? Not so much.
Have you ever called out "computer, end program", just to see if the (simulated) universe would disappear?

Sounds Orwellian to me, but that's the default state of the EU.

Was there a contest somewhere for 'Wasting Your Time In the Least Meaningful Way'? If so, these people win first place.

Damon Matthews looks like one of those crazy anti-human scientists from Twelve Monkeys. Perhaps that's not relevant, but damned if it's not true.

I see. I have to use html in order to retain formatting. How annoying.
