by putting humans into space, by setting up space colonies, you can advance mankind.
Eventually we'll need more room and more resources, and other planets in the solar system are just the place to get them.
If I recall correctly, one of the greatest benefits of the moon landings was the spin-off technology we gained from developing a system to get us to the moon and back.
If something ever happens to this rock we're on, human kind is finished. If we can get off this rock and spread mankind throughout the universe, so much the better for us.
The first rule of job offers is that you never accept the first offer a company gives you. That amount is what they hope they can get away with paying you. If you think that they are serious about hiring you, then ask for a bit more.

^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HFans by the balls, and we're going to build up as much hype about this film until its released as we possibly can.
In a corporate environment, there's an easy solution. If the user gives out his password, you should probally lock down their account for a few days while you investigate their account. If it's a repeat offender, you should format their drive to be on the safe side. And erase all backups because you never know what an attacker might have put on the system.
Same goes for people who open virus e-mails. For some reason, after I help people, they tend to stop doing stupid crap like that on my network. I guess they finally realized the error in their ways (And making them re-do 5 months worth of work seems to be a good enough incentive)
Heck, I got enough of a kick out of Visual C (VC). Made me want to listen to acid rock and hunt Charlie.

Now I have this image of the Church of Linux.
We'd start the service by singing "Descramble", take a reading from the book of Linus, a preacher would then preach about the evils of using Windows and how all those who used it would be thrown into the pit of Blue Screens at the day of reconing. The preacher will then bless the holy chips and sacred Jolt cola (for those are the substances the Linus lived off of during the 40 days and nights that he wrote the kernel), and we'd have a kind of communion. The preacher would finish up by passing around a hat, within it being peices of paper with the Church's PayPal ID.
When you wake up on a Park Bench? What kind of lame school did you go to? It's not even a night out unless you're either in de-tox, a cell, or in bed with something really scary looking.
The problem with Temple of Elemental Evil is that they have yet to release a patch to fix the 'boring'.
seriously, though. It's a great engine. I love how you can either roll characters or do the good old point buy. What I dont' like is that the story line is terrible.
On the other side of the coin in NWN. It's a dated game engine for sure, the mechanics are an edition ago, but on the other hand, the story line in the single player is absolutly awesome. The second expansion, Hordes of Underdark, is probally the best game experience that I've ever had in my life. The characters (Aribeth especially) were very well done. The main enemy, Mephostopheles, was actually scary. No angst-filled BS like a lot of other games. None of that 'he was a good person gone bad' crap. He was just plain evil.
Don't be so quick to discredit those. Those things all had large effects, just not outright revolutions. Without the printing press, Martin Luther wouldnt' have been able to reach as wide of an audience, and the reformation would have died before it could get off the ground. As another poster pointed out, the television brought the horror of the Vietnam conflict to the homes of the American people and was the reason why it was so widely opposed after a few years.
Ok, you have a government that is today celebrating the anneversary of its unilateral invasion of another country, has withdrawn from nuclear test ban treaties, and has been known to violate the bill of rights. So Darl decides to go ahead and start picking on the internal security agency of that government.
at least I won't be near Utah when a nuke from Navada 'accidently' wanders off course and turns the whole place into a parking lot.
After weeks of seeing overblown headlines on slashdot (IE, Bill Gates runs over a squirel on the way to work, headline reads "Bill Gates Murders Animals as part of his Job!!!"), it's good to see one that is, well, underblown. 2.5TB is a bit more than a 'RAM upgrade'
If sci-fi films from the 70s and 80s haven't taught us anything, its that you shouldn't expose real human bones covered in anything to radation.
Unless the real reason is to create space zombies for the purposes of space exploration. Think about it: no need to pack along food, no need to pack along oxygen...perfect for GW Bush's planned invasion of Mars.
They did, however the Nazis took a much harsher point of view on NullPointerException errors, and there were few that survived the war. In 1961 the new German government recognized the suffering they caused the NullPointerExceptions, and establised the free state of Javaoinia as a place to house the survivors. However, they accidently encroached on the territory owned by the SegFault republic, and the area is a hot bed for violent activity.
Bush is doing the right thing. I mean, global stability may be safe, but
1) it just isn't as much fun as WWIII.
2) It's a pain in the ass. When an area is unstable, it's easy to justify a unilateral invasion. When it's stable, you have to spend a lot of time and effort to cook up a story about WMD.
The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea.
They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots.

Dude, if you just got shot in the head, the last thing you have to worry about is someone installing spyware on your computer. Trust me here

The good news is that I RTFAed. The bad news is that I read the wrong one.

2) Everyone will ignore the UN and life will continue as normal.

1) Ashcroft announcing "Maybe taking away people's freedom isn't the way to protect it"
2) Linus Trovolds accepting a position at Microsoft "Screw this hippie OSS shit" he was quoted as saying
3) France wins a war (without American help and without being led by a non-frenchman)

40% insightful, 40% flamebait. I should have used the sarcasm tags on this one.

You forgot to add "In soviet russia" before that.
