  1. Religeous ramifications of NEO threat. on What, Me Worry? · · Score: 0

    As of this time we have no way of determining the real risk of a NEO strike because our ability to track incoming bodies is incomplete. We may have no risk, or tomorrow out of the blue the Earth may be completely destroyed. Automobile manufacturers frown upon driving cars with the hood up because it obstructs the vision of the driver. Try it some time. Do so and you will immedeately come to the conclusion that it is an insane risk to take. Right now we do not have an unobstructed view of the space around our planet, yet we know there are large NEO's wizzing by us regularly without our knowledge. Early detection of NEO's should be a priority of at least NASA, if not the Defense establishment. In my opinion we, as a group, the entire human race, face extinction. My religeous upbringing tells me that it is a mortal sin to commit suicide. To not mount a credible defense against NEO's is tantamount to suicide of the entire human race and dooms all of us to eternal damnation. Yes, that means no rapture, no going to heaven etc... we all go to hell because we didn't try hard enough not to die.

  2. Can it stop a NEO? on Back to the Moon? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If so, good. If not, then no.

  3. Palladium's intended market. on Gates and Lasser on Palladium · · Score: 1

    DRM with Palladium will only concern you if you buy one. I see this as a method primarily for corporate or government users that need this type of security. Its a big OPT-IN device where to opt-in you have to buy the Palladium equipment. As far as allowing MS and Intel to require this on all computers, well we aren't going to let that happen.

  4. Smarter? on Mac Users May Be Smarter · · Score: 1

    I think insecure and frustrated.

  5. Go look. on More on Orbital Space Debris · · Score: 1

    Why don't you just hop in a spaceship and go look you lazy skinflint bas'ards.
