the anticipated huge influx of cannibus seeds would probably be a detriment to the project's standings.
Actually, cannibus is probably one of the kinds of things that should be sent. They don't call it "weed" for nothing. Cannibus, like kudzu, lilacs, dandilions, crab grass, etc, are particularly hardy plants, and can grow practically anywhere. You drop a large mix of those seeds in a relatively moist area, and soon you have ground-cover. Ground cover assists in retaining moisture, which will allow larger growth to take hold.
Before sending seeds over though, you'll probably want to send spores. I think moss and lichens will have a much better chance of surviving and flourishing than plants will. It will also allow you to gauge how well plants may survive in a given climate.
However, if I remember 10'th grade Biology correctly though, plants actually require oxygen to survive. Something about them using it during the night. Can anyone confirm this? If this is the case, it may throw a monkey wrench into any terraforming plans.
Is that the Takeda award is granted in 3 different areas.
Sakamura, Stallma, and Torvalds were granted the award in the "Social/Economic Well-Being" category. This means that an international group has recognized that Linux and GNU pose great advantages over the current system of closed/secret source.
Hopefully this recognition, and the 100 million yen prize will encourage further efforts to educate the masses.
Anyone know how much 100 million yen is in american dollars?

It is not so bad because it is not too much of a price to pay to have this service provided to society. I want to see drunk drivers taken off the roads! If that means that if I am transporting passengers that are drunk and I get pulled over occasionally, then that is fine by me. They can test me if they want and once they see that I haven't been drinking they'll commend me for taking the responsibility of being a designated driver.
I want to see terrorists taken out of commission. If that means my house gets occasionally searched to ensure I'm not building any bombs or planning any terrorist activities, then that is fine with me. They can look around if they want and once they see that I haven't been working with any terrorists, they'll commend me for being an upstanding citizen...
Except for those overdue library books they found.
And those MP3s I kept on my computer without owning the original CDs.
And that fertilizer I got for my lawn ten years ago. I swear, I wasn't building a bomb!

Tell me that's not irony right there.
