That would kill any alien bacteria that might exist there.
That might kill any microorganisms that could be on Mars, or, it could give those microorganism something to feed on. If they're already there, they have an evolutionary head start in that environment.
The aborigenese of the south pacific used to plant the seeds of the species that were most usefull to them on the virgin islands they visited, so that the next time someone would come there, they would have palm trees and aloes and all the stuff they might find usefull there.
We've been trying to find signs of life on Mars, and we can't. I think its time to fill the void.
So when we arrive on Mars, we'll bring a complex enough ecosystem that we'll infect the planet with the disease now erupting from Earth: us. If Earth is Gaia, we're her virus.
More like her "seed". We'll bring life to where there is no life, and you see that as a bad thing?
If every time a celebrity wanted to ride the ship you gave him a free seat, you'd never make any money.
How 'bout you let freaking captain Kirk on your maiden voyage for free, so instead of getting a few thousand bucks from the guy, you get priceless publicity. You think that would be a good way of making money? Maybe?
With all the complaining in Iraq about the deaths of ordinary civilians who are caught in the crossfire, as well as people complaining about civilian deaths in Gaza, why should Hawaii be any different in 1941?
Well, 54 is a tad different than the upwards of eleven thousand dead civilians in Iraq, if you ask me...
The original Atari folded for good in the mid to late 90s.
80's, actually, this is like the 5th fompany or so to use the name. Highly recognised name brand, people feel confident about it, more than about "infogramme" anyway.
I can't see anything even remotly flamebaity in that post, so I'll karma-burn and revive it:
With this 2600-one-button joystick picture besides the news, its impossible to any Geek that was born before 76 to not think of those games as new home-brew games, for thr Atari2600.
Remember people, they're not just new games, they are new Atari games! Atari! A name to trust. This article brought to you by Atari, Atari, we make life worth living.
Is anyone working on a astroturfblock plug-in for Firefox? I think we're about due for one of those...
Depending on the sort of person I'm aiming my book-recommendation-gun at, I sometimes use Zodiac as the payload, if the person is not a True Geek. It takes place in a modern city and keeps the sci-fi stuff to a managable level for "normal" people. Also, its a damn good book, and short too.
The Baroque cycle is for freaks whith good wrist, to support the huge weight of its massive volumes. Snowcrash and Diamond Age are for science fiction afficionados, Cryptonomicon is for engineers and Lord of the Rings fans.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've just been made aware that perfecting the Red Lotus incantations would not suffice to bring down my target... how foolish I've been. Back to the dojo!
you just convinced me to follow your example. Actually, all the damn flashing ads I saw today did more to convince me than you, but you reminded me that what I want is called "adblock". So, thanks, and my eyeballs thank you too. : )
Damn flashing ads... its the <blink> tag horror all over again!
Sports coverage takes WAY too much time in the news, they could be using this time to discuss stuff that matters instead of stuff that entertains.
There's sports shows, sports channels, and sports on the news, if you take sports out of the news and replace it with, oh, lets say, NEWS, you won't be deprived of sports, it'll still have its own shows and channels and arenas.

Ah MAN that is he funniest thing I've seen in a long time!
:D
Hehehe, look at that cat spin!
Who's Gabo?
... what's a shuttle worth nowadays anyway?
Sorry, couldn't resist. : )
But if we are bringing all we need with us, we are not like viruses at all, they need a host.
Except for the Indian wars. The Mexican American war. The Civil war and The Spanish American War.
Don't forget the attempted invasions of Canada!

IN A STEEL CAGE MATCH!
Oh, wait a minute, that's WWE now... Nevermind.
I guess you missed the "get the F out" t-shirt phase...
women could rise to be pharaohs in ancient Egypt
If they prentended to be men and wore a fake beard...
I'm not kidding.
Well, 11,000 dead is a far cry from the estimated 20 million dead civilians in Russia during WWII, isn't it, huh?
What the hell does that have to do with pearl harbour?

Americans have been pretty much isolated from having to directly face warfare as civilians, with the exception of Pearl Harbor and the 9/11 attacks.
So, there were a lot of civilians on those warships they bombed then?
Just wondering...

P.S. Atari!
Fuck, for the life of me I still can't tell the difference between the two.
Anyone have any mnemonic devices to help me out?
The guy with the longer name is the one that writes the longer books...
The Baroque Cycle is full of mistakes.
Some speculate its a hidden code. I think its just common, everyday rushing to the printing press.
So, if one of these authors publishes a book that does not sell as well as was expected...
Can we say that he cluster bombed?
Hello? Hello... Is this thing on? : )
How do you "whirl a wireless mike"?

Targetting this hits us at the mammalian level, even below the monkey.
No! Don't hit me below the monkey!
