Smallpox evolved to use humans as a host, and those humans who were long exposed to it (europeans) had, in turn, evolved a resistance to it. When smallpox was introduced to North America, it was still able to use the humans there as a host, however those humans had not developed the resistance, which is what made it so deadly to them. Martain bacteria, on the other hand, never evolved to use humans, or anything remotely like humans as a host and would thus most likely be completely harmless to us.
That's one of the few restrictions the BSD license does place on its licensees. You must give credit to the original authors of whatever BSD-licensed code you use in your projects.
It's only the installer that's experimental. The actual stuff that installs on your computer will only be expiremental if you go with the "~arch" branch.
Compare the size of the rockets used to launch probes into space to the size of the rockets used to propel them over the rest of their journey. Any questions?
That's why we need moonbases. Build the heavy stuff there from raw materials mined and refined on-site and you'll have a much smaller gravity well to get out of, and thus much lower fuel requirements.

That's not an immune system, that's a spoon!
So, to summarise: American astronauts are wussies.
No, they were created by a race of sapient reptiles.
It's lubricated!
Are they sure that people weren't actually using the word "gecko"? I've heard a lot of people get the two confused.

And so that we have a base of operations when the time comes to terraform Earth.
And pirates. It's also available to pirates.
Except that it'll be tough to watch football when the kids are playing video games on the TV.
I've known that people were stupid for quite a while. This just confirms it.

It's like spam. You market your crap to enough people and someone's going to be stupid enough to buy it. Doesn't mean that people in general like it.
Is there a difference?
They're not. Hence the spread of piracy.

Are you a former Infocom employee, by any chance?
From a certain point of view...
"For continued peace and security, this rookery will be re-structured into the First Antartic Empire!"
Just out of curiosity, in Soviet Russia, does science movie write YOU?
I always assumed that this was true, but would like some verification.
So, in Korea, only old people eat dogs?

And they didn't even need an inanimate carbon rod? Impressive.
