If you were stupid enough to launch from Uncle Jimmy's Backyard Cosmodrome and bait shop, you deserve to become a Darwin Award nominee and your heirs deserve very worm they get when they sue.
And when that rocket lands in my bedroom while I'm sleeping how do I deserve that. You have to have certain amounts of regulation esp in a capitalistic society, or else mistakes will constantly be repeated because it's cheaper to cut corners and pay out when a mistake happens than change your business practice. We know not everyone will follow regulations and certain regulations will only be made ex post facto but they still need to be there. I want the FAA making sure that proper maintenance schedules are followed so engines don't fall on my house, I want the FDA checking meat plants to make sure beef is properly handled. I want the state making sure that for the most part the car driving next to me at 70 an hour is moderately safe. I don't want big business deciding that eh it's cheaper to use four bolts instead of five. I'm not aware of any government agency that has actually prevented passengers from being killed in aviation accidentsIt's because you don't hear about accidents that don't happen. You don't hear about misses that were almost mid air collisions, you don't hear about stress fracture found during routine inspections, you don't hear about cow 132242 that was pulled because it had some disease, you don't hear about Mr. Smiths car that failed inspection because his tired were as smooth as racing slicks. The reason that it's news when something bad happens is because bad things that almost happen there were averted happen all the time. How many times have you avoid3ed an accident because a horn worked as it was supposed to? News is news because it's the exception it's out of the ordinary, planes don't ordinarily crash, shuttles don't ordinarily explodes, people don't ordinarily get food poisoning., thanks in large part to regulation.
I mean at least they are taking space tourism seriously. Then again Our goverment also tried to use
psychics as spies
Seriously though your going to need some regulation you can't have every tom dick and harry throwing together red thunder in there back yard. You don't want crap falling out of the sky on your house or exploding near you.
It's simply incredible that with all our knowledge we can still be some dumb...
Like people who wont wear seatbelts because they say they cause more injuries than they prevent only worse.
It's got some cruel joke. We know what causes it we know how to prevent it and we still have people that won't take the precautions because it's not as fun. It boggles my mind. It's not like you have to abstain from it, just use a thin membrane of latex. I simply can't fathom how some people can be so primal as to abandon all sense of logic and reason just to do something that feels good.
Locks only make locksmiths richer. Please tell that to your insurance company and the police department when you do eventually get robbed.
Yes we all know that locks are only a deterrent, and any person with sufficient motivation, time and or resources will be able to get inside your house or wireless access point. It comes down to ease, why go through all the work to take your stuff when your neighbor doesn't even bother locking their front door.
I used to leave my door open in college all the time too. repeat after me "college is not the real world".
You can't encrypt someone ELSE's mail to you. And I think this is one if not the key point. I wish more people would RTFA. I can be as causios as any tin foil hat crowd but that wont do me any good when someone sends me an unencrypted email.
How about if I don't want you reading it don't read it... Why should I have to encrypt it to keep your snooping eyes away. If I have a post office box does that mean the any tom fool that works for the post office should be able to read my mail? Does that mean that the phone company can liosten to my voice mail?
What if you do encrypt it and they break the encryption? What need could you have to read my mail, it's not like your law enforcment your a ISP. Just because it's your property doesn't give you unlimeted rights to do what you please, a business can't put up camera's in the womens lavatory and for good reason. The ISP wanting to read my email is like a digital voyorism.
And this whole spam thing is absolutly bollocks, if I have spam in my mailbox I can rpeost it to you as an ISP as spam. How do you know that it is spam anyway untill I tell you. Maybe I actually did want an email for herbal viagra.
The conspiracy theorist are as bad as some of the extreme religious groups and the OS zealots (be they Ms or *nix). No mater how much information you give the tin foil hat crowd to the contrary of what they believe they will never change their mind. In this case I doubt that even sending them directly to the moon to show them a lander would change their mind. So at some point you must just stop trying and just pity them. Such a sad life they must live. The fact of the matter is that more or less anything in the course of human history could have been faked, there are plenty of people that believe the holocaust was fake. I'm not saying to accept everything blindly and without question, just don't lose your rational and your unbiased mindset. If you set out believing that something is false it is easy to "prove" that it is, just as setting out to prove that it's true.
Do you have any idea how many of my peers at college thought I said cosmetology and not Cosmology and that was when I said it so there wasn't a spelling mistake. These were people that i had respect for and they thought I was taking a makeup class.
We had to figure this out for a Cosmology test in college. What a lot of people didn't realize is that by using say 1 gram of antimater your also going to get the energy from the 1 gram of mater that will also get transferd in to energy. Does this Calulation take that in to effect?
This is why many notably amazing Linux apps (GIMP, gaim, evolution, hell even firefox) reject QT in favor of GTK How much of your post is oppinion and fact I wonder?
My oppinion is I like QT, I like the way apps that use QT look compared to GTK, which is why I use KDE over Gnome.
I think the encouragement is that they put a lot of effort and money in to it already. In many competitions you don't stop because someone else one you keep going to prove that you can finish, like marathons and climbing Mt Everest. Granted you wont get as much publicity or notoriety as the first team to do it but you will still have done it. I really don't think that most of these teams are doing it for the money I think they are doing it because some one put out a challenge.

After RTFA it doesn't seem like a fair comparison to say it's like google's "related" or Verisign ' "product", this looks like a technology a webmaster would use on there own site. It also gives them they option to accept the suggestion or not. This could be really good for corporation with large intranet sites as webmaster leaves documents constanly get moved etc.
I think had the original poster read the article they wouldn't have gone of half cocked. IBM must also be somehwat confident that this is new technology or else they wouldn't have filled two patents for it.
I'm not getting dragged in to this I keep thinking to myself.
I'll disagree with you the part of the brain that luck touched was a part that only people with the force had, and it would puch back, the book made no mention of here iron will.
I won't add to this unless I can find the passage in the book.
Nope. The force wasn't strong in Leia--never was, even in the books.
What book was was it where luke was able to find Jedis by touching a spot in tehr mind. when he did it to Liea it throw him back, none of the other potential Jedis did that.
"Anything you wear around your neck becomes jewelry," said Ellen Lupton, director of the master of fine arts program in graphic design at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and the curator of contemporary design at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York.
And wear it around her neck is what she does. "A lanyard comes with them," Lupton said. "You're going to wear it, and if you're going wear it you want it to be cool. Why hide it?" To hers, she has added a wrap of decorative tape. "People really comment on it because they think it looks nice," she said.
People wear a lot of things around their neck, that doesn't make it jewelry, such as my phtoID badge. I wear my usb drive there for many reaons, 1 being I don't like sitting with things in my pocket 2 You notice real quick if it's gone. I'm getting tired of people trying to make comparisons where they don't belong. I oculd care less what color mine is or if it's shiney. The only thing I care about is the storage side. God I hate when things go mainstream, for just this reason.
Now I know how the the fans of back street boys felt when they went from underground to pop. Oh wait nevermind.
I know it was part of the joke. I tend to deal with scary/stressfull/awkward situation with dark humor. And I find thinking about evoting scary and stressfull.

Should have taken a few classes in spelling
I took that class 3 years ago, I even looked at the notes (Still online go FSU:) and oculdn't do it. College seems like a past life now.

I can see three potential problems with this.
1) The possibility that this might motivate other crackers to unleash the next big worm to find a job.
2) What about the poor shmuck that does nothing wrong and gets passed up for a job.
3) Say you hire him and he goes back to his old ways. Wouldn't you be somewhat liable for damages caused to you clients.
As I said potential and possibly extreme situations.
pseudonymity and real anonymity

Remeber Quake I, how you could get the demo from EB and it had the full version that you could get an activation key for....
I remeber a lot of people at my HS having Quake I but no one "bought' the key. I'm surprised companies would do this again.
The cars of tomorrow will look like the cars of today, maybe a little dirtier.
What I want to know is what will the cras of the next decade look like.
