A new impetus to get a next-generation reusable orbiter going.
There have been so many abortive attempts to do this, including the awesome Delta Clipper.
There are many, many other harmful substances in cigarettes. Tar is just one I can think of offhand.
On another note, I really can't stand people who doubt that smoking causes health problems. Come one, inhaling hot smoke from a burning plant remains? How could that possibly be innocuous?
Of how misaligned crimes and sentences are.
By file sharing some songs, can a person
really inflict $250,000 worth of economic
damage to record companies and society as a
whole?
I don't think anyone has mentioned that if these images were alien craft flying in close proximity to the Sun, the resolving power of SOHO would have to be around 100 or so meters (I believe that in UFO lore most alleged craft aren't too much larger than that). I don't think SOHO was designed with that capability in mind - most solar flares and anomalies are considerably larger than that.
How about one that acts as an external kidney, filtering and accumulating wastes, releasing them through an external one-way valve?
I think waste elimination would be as important, perhaps more so, since the natural way would involve removing far more protective gear, than feeding or imbibing the conventional way.

Rationing effect of prices? If everyone used the full capacity of said wires, the telcos would then have to add additional capacity, which increases their capital costs.
And watch how their recommendation bots bring you the latest in totally irrelevant-to-your-taste artists, and steer you toward kitchen gadgets and other sundries you never knew you needed.
There are plenty of hurricanes and other storms that spend their entire "lives" far from any human population. (IE way out in the middle of the ocean). If humans ever get to the point of attempting storm mitigation, I'm sure we'd start with those first.
If they think there's anything wrong with developing technology that could have mitigated killer cyclones and torrential floods.
I think you'll hear a resounding silence.
It's interesting how Westerners have been adopting bits of Eastern philosophy and spiritual practice (Tai Chi, Feng Shui to name a couple), without their cultural context, often mindlessly aping the movements and ideas found in Dummies books or some television guru's show.
Now the Chinese themselves are taking this to an extreme with their robots, in effect completely decontextualizing the significance of Tai Chi movement.
Perhaps down the road, we could use this technology to supply all meat for human being on Earth.
It would allow us to grow more grain for people, perhaps free up land that was used for cattle grains, feedlots or ranges.
Perhaps it would also help curtail bovine methane emissions.
I've gauged a bit of cynicism regarding Apple's success with the I-Mac - some folks think it's in large part to the first generation unit's translucent blue color and funky integrated shape.
Does Apple's attempt to patent a color-changing desktop simply lend this further credence?
I always like to read about incidents I've never heard of. This is one of them.
It may not be especially relevant to Slashdot's ostensible mission, but it does make for an interesting read.
What's next - Magnavox Odyssey and the Atari 2600?

Drama in the Desert

Try to stop at Pyramid Lake, if you're coming from southern Nevada. It's a huge lake surrounded by desert. The whole place is an Indian reservation.
At one corner of the lake, a natural stone column (strikingly pyramid shaped) rises out of the water.
At another part of the lake, is another stone shape that looks strikingly like a cloaked woman with a baby basket.
The drive from Reno is breathtaking, from what I hear.
And if you're into fishing, some of the world's largest cutthroat trout (Lahontan) are caught there.

The more governments take in, the more they spend

We're heading for European-style economic

Yup, it's a troll alright. And so is our former First Lady. She and hubby Bill have no clue what humility, decency or modesty are.

It's called Resume, by Dorothy Parker
(I used to think it was Sylvia Plath, too)
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
