I was watching some sort of NASA clip that showed a tool tray for on-orbit work. It locked the tools down until you plugged the lanyard from your suit into the tool, then the only way to get the lanyard off the tool was to lock it back into the tray..
Hmm Sounds like an idea for an epic science fiction movie.
Robots + eggs and sperm are sent to a far off planet.. but something happens along the way and earth looses contact. The mission is assumed to be a loss.
22 years later our robot raised overlords return to claim their birthright

Perhaps the enterprise was just getting a major re-fit?
It's a wonder that a juvenile delinquent like that could even get into starfleet, perhaps joy riding in priceless antique cars and crashing them is just not a crime in that day.
If Red Hat or Mozilla started suing people who took pictures of their own computers while running certain web browsers or kinds of Operating systems I think there would be a lot of complaints here.
Why not let the students use their own email addresses?
I now have one more extra email address to keep track of and worry if it's getting forwarded properly to my main Gmail account or not. The school could not or would not just use an email address I gave them when I signed up.
I bet most college age people have at least one email address by now. If not, have the ones that don't sign up with one of the free biggies in the orientation class.
Assign a port to a "Home Control Computer", run that through the NAT and have the HCC turn off the oven and inform the cofee pot and the alarm clock (it probably is the alarm clock itself) it is also probably the thermostat.
My Networking teacher told us that you can stack NAT routers - have 10.x.x.x Nat domain where each of the addresses is a NAT router to 192.168.x.x private network.
This breaks getting into the inner networks from the outside, but if you are already under a "consume only" terms of services from your ISP what do they care?
IThat just doesn't seem like the original intention of the patent system.
Actually - that is exactly what a patent is for (for a limited time) - and to cause the inventor to release details so others can improve when the time runs out.
"Why not just kill 5 billion humans..."
Don't offer this as a choice to some environmentalists - they will take you up on it. And guess what - they won't volunteer to be the first ones to go.
I propose a new definition of universe:
A universe is everything that can be sensed - including the stuff that we would have to travel to any distance to sense.
There could be other universes - but we cant sense them. We can *never* sense them. Our universe may be infinite in the three dimensions we can detect, but finite in others - or perhaps we need a definition that allows for two or more infinites that are not connected. (Yes, I just used the plural of infinite.)
Isn't it wonderful - If we want to break the contract it's a hundred to two hundred dollars, but If the phone company breaks the contract it's no big deal...

No, Lord Xenu is the the Scientology devil so he would be delighted in the comment.
The big if in your statement is "If PND had existed" perhaps it never expressed in any species and so was never around to compete.

Guess that wasn't in use this time.
Perhaps those who paid the "make it go away fee" to the RIAA and thus were never in court?
Only if you are a spider.
Funny thing "At will" employment
You get: To quit on a moments notice.
Your Boss gets: Able to fire you for no reason also on a moments notice.
Non-Seqitur - we have the technology to send you to meet anyone you could speak to via the Internet.
I don't expect to ever step foot in space either.
But we have to leave earth sometime:
1) Backup Humanity
2) Some things you can only learn by going there.
3) Maybe only 'because it's there'

Borg?
Sure it's up to congress. But what is that really if Obama says "spend it like this" congress will go "yup yup sure thing"
What is the point of sending robots if we are never going to go ourselves.
The point of the shuttle and ISS and all other maned space is to prove, and improve systems for taking people places in space.

isn't "soot" made of "carbon"?

You can opt out, then No service for you!

What's to just stop them from saying "two cents - too bad" and hanging up somewhere along step 8?
