Why worry about marrage? Just have a group of people who are bisexual and incapable of reproducing to avoid the possiblity of children on the trip. I think also one thing that should be considered is to limit the first groups of Mars bound travelers to under 5 ft tall. This would reduce space and resource requirements for them on the trip. They would have to exclude dwarfs too because of the health issues. If they just keep quiet about the bisexual aspect and the general public would automatically focus on the most visible thing, the people being under 5 ft tall.
What's with the attitude? Just because I'm advocating losing some of the legacy hardware in favor of keeping more useful hardware where do you get that I should be using a console?
I just understand that there is trade offs with newer equipment. I'd rather have extra USB ports than RS232 or Parallel, extra PATA than floppy. Yes, those ports are useful to some people but most computer users don't use them and if they did, there is such a thing as a USB 2 RS232 and USB 2 Parallel converter. There are also cards out there to add that functionality for people who need it.
I recently was shopping for parts to build a new computer. I find it crazy that so many motherboard manufactures have removed AGP slots and one of the PATA ports even though there are lots of high performance gfx cards and PATA devices out there but they still leave floppy, parallele, RS232 and PS2 ports on the boards. I'm sure those parts are cheap but they take up valuable space for far more useful things.
When I say bad teachers, I mean the abusive ones. Like the one that when my gf was in grade school; walked up behind her and slammed her head into a desk because my gf was quiet. Mind you, this was 30 years when teachers didn't have nearly the amount of checks that they do now. I had my own share of abuse from teachers. I know many people who went to school in the 70s and 80s that had lots of mental and physical abuse from teachers. I'm sure much of that still goes on today.
Bad teachers love to single out the quiet kids or ones that don't have the most stable home life. Basically the ones that are least likely to talk to another adult about them. Cameras would help a lot in these situations.
The more accessible a site is for the disable, the more accessible it is for mobile devices. Which makes supporting accessiblity a plus all the way around.
The biggest thing that annoys me on websites is the use of java, flash, or anything other than html for links.
What Akira from the Amiga isn't on that list? It got horrible reviews. One of my personal hated games is Red Faction 2. The first was a great game but 2 was a total let down. What were they thinking by leaving out network play?
Looks like they French fasion industry has perfected cloning but are too thin. Some of the clothing was interesting but I wonder how they kept people from popping the bubbles on the one with the jumbo bubblewrap.
It's not really a game. It's a virtual world which has games in it. Yes SL has problems but a lot of people enjoy it. Like anything of this nature, a healthy imagination is required. It also helps to be creative.
I have to differ with your option. I find that using multiple screens would be just as useful today as then. I encounter various gfx intensive programs that prefer the screen to be 16 bit depth and others that prefer 32 bit. Due to the nature of my work, I normally have a lot of windows open and ready for me to access. I would much prefer to have them grouped on screens. As it is, I maximize the ones I can to sort of simulate multiple screens plus I have a remote desktop terminal opened to a server.
I miss the sliding screen feature because on the Amiga I would often slide a screen down so I could see a bit of information on the screen behind the one I'm working on. I wish I knew of a hack to allow me to slide windows down when they are maximized. When I was on the Amiga, people would get dizzy watching me fly thru the various windows and screens. I would switch to a screen do what needed and back to another so fast that most people would hardly realize what I did. If they blinked, they'd miss the screen switches entirely. On WinXP, swapping maximized windows isn't nearly as fast as swapping screens on the Amiga.
There are quite a few features I miss from the Amiga days: Arexx, the list command, the way the Amiga handled mounting/unmounting of devices, the way device/volume names were handled, assigned logical devices, bi-state icons gfx, icon tool types, and ReadArgs. Those are the main ones I miss.
Not sure about the shuttle but Congreess & NASA just tossed away a good idea for a better material for constructing the space station out of years. It was called Transhab. I saw the prototype at NASA in '99 before Congress pulled funding on it 2000. It's much better than what they are using now to build the crew modules. Bigelow Aerospace bought the rights to it from NASA for their space station.
Another term for it is Sticky Chat. Basically a chat system that the content history that can be reviewed for a period of time set by the admin. Another might be Threaded-Sticky Chat, basically the same but threads can break off from topics of active chat and history. A user could branch the topic thread by doing something like "/branch topic". I thought about something like that years ago based on IRC chat.
I asked that same question a week ago and someone marked it as redundant but didn't provide any insight on why or the question in general. I think Linden Labs is seriously going to have a to take a look at the issue because they or the people providing the gambling establishments in there might find themselves in trouble under the new law.
The more sites are accessible to the blind, the more they are accesible to devices with low res screens like cell phones. While it makes the companies have to put out money on redoing their sites but it's a win because people can browse the sites from small devices.

It sucks when your hacking the firmware in your gadgets and brick them.
And they seem to be on the same scale too.
How is this a suprise? More power they are given, the more they'll abuse it. That's why strict limits and penalties are needed for the government.

This should happen all over. I wonder how much electronic waste is from cables and wall warts?

I think kids should be allowed to have electronic devices because the threat of being recorded will keep bad teachers in check.
Are the people at the USPTO on drugs or do they just have their heads up their corn holes?

If they offered one to one replacement for my large DVD collection, I'd think about upgrading but we all know that's not going to happen.
Given the number of people on this planet and the resource drain we cause, is this a bad thing?

Redundant?
I would also want the ability to delete specific memories. I have a few that I don't want.
I wonder how a online gambling ban would affect gambling in Second Life since users can exchange SL$s for US$s.
The nice thing about the Amiga GURU is that you could debug the system on the serial port while it was in a GURU state.
