Gotta have some good porn on the moon and imagine the possibilities of making new porn there too!
I could see lots of novelty things that would bring a premium on the moon, from radio and television shows (imagine Coast to Coast live from the moon?) plus the market for moon dust and rocks back here on earth. Something similar already done, but worth doing again, is "first day covers": envelopes postmarked from the moon.
I am going with the "just a short person" theory too. Early polling indicates that we may be in the minority on this topic. Better keep my regular job.
Back in the day, when they were preparing to put them on the Moon, they were glass spheres and that would reflect the light back to it's origin. Not sure what "the inside of a cube" shape would be, other than a cube, and it would not reflect back from every direction.
Nice thought, but if you are filling out job applications on-line you are most likely not in the position to set any conditions (as opposed to using a headhunter or contacts within the company, in which case you aren't seen as riff-raff off the street.)
I'd also add that with most companies, withholding any information they ask for will raise a red flag. If you don't provide a SSN or license number or whatever else when asked they will immediately assume you have something to hide-- such as a criminal history, a DUI, heavy outstanding debts or a lien against your wages, or the lack of legal work status. Asserting that they do not have the right to ask can just mark you as "trouble"... Companies don't tend to like employees who know their rights and take a stand to protect them.
Not sure who your experience is with, but I have had no trouble ignoring premature requests for this information for well over 20 years*. Like I said in an earlier post, if they *require* this information on a job application then ignore them and move on.
*earlier than that many firms had a SSAN block on paper job applications and I did not know better than to refuse to fill it in.

Or writing it either ;)
Better not let Al Gore catch you reading that or he will Global Warm you!
So, this stuff may be tough enough to survive my clumsy fumbling for longer than a week or so?
Actually, the idea is to do it *in* the moon base, not on the roof of the base.

Same thing that I was thinking. What on earth is wrong with headlines actually describing the story they are attached to?
We don't want you to get sick from DDT, sorry.
Well, most sugars have enough basic ingrediants to make octane, I suppose.
Perhaps it will be even more popular than soylent diesel?
Another interview, with audio, is linked in the responses to the story.
Who are these customers, and why would they pay MySQL for a product that's not only free, but has better competitors available for free?
Apparently they are customers who don't really need a database but they have employees who convinced them to spend money on a cutsie file system.
Now I have someplace to store all that Canadian pr0n!

Thank goodness I like lesbian bondage porn! It is incredibly easy to find free. Now if I could only find the free beer as in porn . . .
I still can not figure out why anybody buys porn when so much of it is still free, as in beer as it were.
Guessing it might be harder to get free on one's phone as I have not tried to get it at all on mine, but still.
Nice try! Check some of these versions:

Once the state 'owns' your body they can, apparently, do whatever they like with the 'maintenance' records.
Not something I would like to sign up for, but seems europeans don't have an "opt out" choice here.
Seems I am way ahead of the dinosaurs, see my .sig :)
I knew dinosaurs were really deamons! Conjuring up volcanic events!
Comments like this remind me that I need to stop procrastinating and get that six-pack installed on the 1972 Dodge Hybrid.

Yours is much better!

LOL, I like your joke.
.50 min. so everybody is quite bright by your measure!
Almost anybody can hold their breath for
They get the SSN when you get a job. Your license number isn't really sensetive.
Yes, this is true, but they don't need that info until they draw up the offer letter.
I would omit things like SSAN and DL. If they require these I would just skip that employer (after trying to contact them) move on to another one.
