Dude, read the fucking article ok? He sees the purpose of NASA as inspiring kids to become scientists. He believes NASA has failed to do that in recent years, so he wants to cut NASA funding and redirect the funds to his own pet project which he believes will achieve that goal. If that's not anti-NASA, I don't know what is.
He wants to cut the VSE budget to use the money for education.
If this happens then the VSE will flounder and it will be the end of human spaceflight. Some of you may think that's a good thing. If you are not one of these people, please, STOP OBAMA.
"Hey motorist, do you think we should have stricter jaywalking laws?" "Damn straight kid, I'm sick of all these idiots getting in front of my car."
Here's how to see if the people want it or not:
"Hey pedestrian, you just jaywalked, here's a $200 fine, and if I catch you again it's off to jail!" "You're fucking kidding me right copper? Here's what I think of your ticket." [rip] [rip]
And if I need to explain this to you then frankly I doubt that you ever get out of your car.
Yes, it is all a gigantic conspiracy! It couldn't possibly be that someone's son or daughter was killed whilst jaywalking and made it their life quest to have a law passed "for our own protection". Motorcycle helmets and seatbelts are other examples of Freemason infiltration of our government.. it's the all seeing eye man!!
There are many things that aren't "criminal", but are still illegal. Not according to the legal definition of "illegal".. I think you might be after "unlawful".
Outlawing file sharing is like outlawing jaywalking. I agree but for different reasons. Both are a case of government ruling over people instead of representing them. People *want* to jaywalk.. they want to get from one side of the road to the other by the shortest possible route and they're willing to dodge traffic to do it. Who the hell are you to say they cant? The majority? No, we all jaywalk. So where is this authority coming from? No-where! And that's why jaywalking laws are bullshit and shouldn't even exist, let alone be enforced. Same goes for file sharing. I think we've all made it abundantly clear that we want to share files and most of us, the majority of us, don't give care about any laws we may be breaking whilst doing it.
means you've gotta keep moving those goal posts, cause anyone who grinds enough can get to them, and so the carrot keeps being moved further away from the donkey.
Here's a Slashdot tip for ya. Whenever you see a post that you don't know why it is moderated up, look at what it is in reply to. In this case, my post was modded up for pointing out the obvious to someone who is clearly oblivious.
Require the security guard at my place of employment to scan my ID each and every time I walk in the building? If you work with national infrastructure, they god damn better.
Man, why do all video players suck? (except google/youtube)
What's so hard about this? Download the video, play it when you have enough downloaded. Why does everyone try to "buffer" or measure speed throughput or something.

Thanks. I thought it was wrong but wasn't aware of the right word. Shame the Slashdot "editors" don't have your grasp of the English language.
Blah, I didn't think it important to put "by NASA" on the end of the summary as obviously we're talking about NASA.

You need both.

I don't know how much more plainly I can make this.
Everyone jaywalks. You said yourself that you jaywalk. There isn't anyone under the age of 15 who hasn't jaywalked.
If you think laws against jaywalking are not unjust then you are, quite simply, a fascist.
End of discussion. Go away now.
If the white house was bombed, you honestly think they'd tell anyone?
Here's how you do your survey:
"Hey motorist, do you think we should have stricter jaywalking laws?"
"Damn straight kid, I'm sick of all these idiots getting in front of my car."
Here's how to see if the people want it or not:
"Hey pedestrian, you just jaywalked, here's a $200 fine, and if I catch you again it's off to jail!"

When you have mnemonic sensors, dead men do tell tales.
and the sooner we can make backups of it the better.
Petawatt Lasers use, wait for this, petawatts of power. How you think that power is generated? Nice clean nuclear? Hahahaha.
Switch them quickly.

I've been saying it for years but, would it be so bad to hire "editors" who ACTUALLY READ SLASHDOT. WTF.
Sure, but the AC that I replied to asked: Why patent an invention that's supposed to be open? Prior art is all it takes.
If you were to patent something you wanted to remain open, you could use to patent to ensure anything else which practices that patent remains open.
Same reason you put code under the GPL, to force improvements of it to remain free.
The point is simply that the schematics are freely available.
The GPL is more a social contract than a legal one.. if someone releases something under the GPL, only a rude person will hoard their changes.
