Seriously, why humans? Get your fix riding your local space tower / space needle ride.
The problem it solves is CHEAP transport into space for cargo. NOT people. robots will be better than humans for nearly all space work. It will be a long time before we NEED human space transport.
Do not assume we have a better system today just because we do not have the same mess of yesteryear. We have a new mess with new problems to which the next generation will look back and wonder what was wrong with us.
How do you want to be remembered? Would you have wanted to be a person "towing the line" in the 1960s or somebody who marched with Martin Luther King =>1 time?
Laws are not moral nor are they usually written by moral politicians.
More than 1 time, more than 1 place-- THIS congress was called a do-nothing-congress. This said when they had control and were in a hurry to push some stuff to look good before this election.
Losing control at this point does not change things for them other than they now have to deal with some oversight.
Science is an iterative process which in the long term converges on the truth.
A few nuts usually stick with it and in the long run it comes back into mainstream if its closer to correct. There IS easy funding out there for anti-global warming if you want to appear like an industry whore.
1) HOW DOES ONE CORRECT ERRORS? Just dealing with people who don't remember correctly thinking it or they messed up would be a nightmare.
2) Letting you see what you voted doesn't say what was actually counted in the county tabulator software.
Exit polls point out problems in a similar fashion and have similar problems. (They were made illegal here because they worked in pointing out problems... but have been ignored when they mattered.)
3) Statistical Sampling
Non-expert polling will result in more upset people: "friends & neighbors didn't match the results"
Do whatever 'secure' thing you want, but give me root on the tabulator;-)
3) Hand recounts are not possible
4) Ballot stuffing is still possible (easy enough to fix that)
5) Still trusting the hardware, OS, libraries, compiler, sysadmin, vendor, support people to be honest. Where there is will($$$) there is a way comes to mind...
6) Loss of tables destroys an election (many backups...)
PAPER ballots could be validated using encryption. Then ballots could not just be printed and stuffed. It would also be cheaper than having special ballots, normal paper could be used.
Money should have something like this in it for fast validation. Public key encryption would work.
Counts should be done by hand; if ballot stuffing happens like in Mexico you have something to fall back on.

Why leak something to a trusted official? Just think of the intent of leaking it to an official who is critical of the machines. If the intent is to disclose code only then there are many other BETTER methods.
Anybody see the new film "Man of the Year"? Does art predict life now instead of imitate it?
We are led to think that we can safely and cleanly handle NUCLEAR waste but we are not smart enough to cleanly handle COAL.
It is far easier to properly process the waste from coal than it is nuclear waste. We have plenty of coal. Coal does not have massive setup, overhead costs, security concerns, etc.
Programmers and IT support people saying Clinton & Bush failed them is ironic!
Presidents have a massive staff instead of lots of code to maintain and gets blamed for bugs in the system. A system which can not run like a machine. IT people need bugs to employ them, while government needs problems to remind people of their use. Where is the balance, you USERs of government?
"Failure of imagination" is a pure BS excuse on the level of ignorant IT phone support.
Clinton and Bush are nearly opposites. It was like a master unix admin retiring and a young MCSE taking his place and trying to move everything to windows 95. The major similarity was their sysadmin god complex; although, Clinton did little to expand his powers.
I don't blame my present crashes on my LAST OS. do you?
Besides, the price for freedom is courage-- non-military people will die defending our freedom. This may become apparent to people when we start to re-gain our lost freedoms in the future.
I have some social connections (unusual for slashdot?) I know people who are suffering as a result of misactions taken after 9/11.
I find it useful background news gets onto slashdot. This adds to the pile of evidence showing they didn't care (at minimum) and it does undermine their ability to exploit 9/11 to promote their anti-Nerd agenda. Terrorism and child porn are the popular excuses used in many of the "News for Nerds" posts.
We are smart enough to go deeper than just the resulting news: "Net Neutrality helps terrorists and pedophiles" etc.
So lets have an article explaining the demographics of pedophiles; showing that they are mostly friends and family and not AOL IM users (contrary to popular opinion.)
Their actions will determine if they are just "politically motivated."
Science will always be a political force not because science itself is political-- its not-- but because humans are political. Humans have trouble handling the truths that science seeks to reveal and within the field of science, which is done by 2+ humans, there will be politics in trying to get a consensus on the best answers.
Remember, most of science is NOT black and white-- its simply the best answers at the time.
The administration attacks anything that conflicts with their agenda. This includes science, logic, experts, observers, and reality. They know people live in a relative reality and many are not concerned with finding the truth, especially when distracted. Given some statements, I'd say many of them do not value the search for a universal reality; therefore, they have a fundimental disconnect from many of us.
An old idea around for some time was to design an install user that is similar to root but with limitations then limit root's power.
The extras depends on the system and how far you'd want to go to protect the system. root could lose some access (ie: read-only OS.) the install user would be limited to mostly disk related activities. This is just 1 example of the features that could be possible by singling out the whole process of system level software installation.
All operators of non-lethal devices must -prior to use- be exposed to the device for a typical dosage. All direct supervisors must also fulfill the same requirement.
I know MN cops must get a pepper spray dose so they know what it is like.
Stat wise you can claim that there is ONE Earth with life that is intelligent -per galaxy (using us as the only positive sample for this galaxy.)
If you agree with that premise, then there is an estimated 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe; therefore, we can estimate there is 200 billion places similar to Earth.

IT IS A TRAP.
Variation on the SAME old tricks they did before. Free (at a loss) now, screw you later.
People hate paying taxes.
Corporations HATE paying politicians money (especially legally, thru taxation.)
Politicians like money.
Therefore, a plan to make people and corps hate polluting that politicians will like to implement would:
Tax things that are not "green."

How long before we can expect obedient human worker drones?
Why leak something to a trusted official? Just think of the intent of leaking it to an official who is critical of the machines.
If the intent is to disclose code only then there are many other BETTER methods.
Anybody see the new film "Man of the Year"?
Does art predict life now instead of imitate it?

Go to the moon ASAP:
Done.
Go to mars:
Working on it and spending plenty of money.
Find clean cheap power:
We'll do that tomorrow... for now lets subsidize existing stuff.
We are led to think that we can safely and cleanly handle NUCLEAR waste but we are not smart enough to cleanly handle COAL.
It is far easier to properly process the waste from coal than it is nuclear waste. We have plenty of coal. Coal does not have massive setup, overhead costs, security concerns, etc.
Programmers and IT support people saying Clinton & Bush failed them is ironic!
Presidents have a massive staff instead of lots of code to maintain and gets blamed for bugs in the system. A system which can not run like a machine. IT people need bugs to employ them, while government needs problems to remind people of their use.
Where is the balance, you USERs of government?
"Failure of imagination" is a pure BS excuse on the level of ignorant IT phone support.
Clinton and Bush are nearly opposites. It was like a master unix admin retiring and a young MCSE taking his place and trying to move everything to windows 95. The major similarity was their sysadmin god complex; although, Clinton did little to expand his powers.
I don't blame my present crashes on my LAST OS. do you?
Besides, the price for freedom is courage-- non-military people will die defending our freedom. This may become apparent to people when we start to re-gain our lost freedoms in the future.
I have some social connections (unusual for slashdot?) I know people who are suffering as a result of misactions taken after 9/11.
I find it useful background news gets onto slashdot. This adds to the pile of evidence showing they didn't care (at minimum) and it does undermine their ability to exploit 9/11 to promote their anti-Nerd agenda. Terrorism and child porn are the popular excuses used in many of the "News for Nerds" posts.
We are smart enough to go deeper than just the resulting news:
"Net Neutrality helps terrorists and pedophiles" etc.
So lets have an article explaining the demographics of pedophiles; showing that they are mostly friends and family and not AOL IM users (contrary to popular opinion.)

Priceless.
Their actions will determine if they are just "politically motivated."
Science will always be a political force not because science itself is political-- its not-- but because humans are political. Humans have trouble handling the truths that science seeks to reveal and within the field of science, which is done by 2+ humans, there will be politics in trying to get a consensus on the best answers.
Remember, most of science is NOT black and white-- its simply the best answers at the time.
The administration attacks anything that conflicts with their agenda. This includes science, logic, experts, observers, and reality. They know people live in a relative reality and many are not concerned with finding the truth, especially when distracted. Given some statements, I'd say many of them do not value the search for a universal reality; therefore, they have a fundimental disconnect from many of us.
I saw thru the LonleyGirl CG effects the whole time and nobody would believe me! ;-)
An old idea around for some time was to design an install user that is similar to root but with limitations then limit root's power.
The extras depends on the system and how far you'd want to go to protect the system.
root could lose some access (ie: read-only OS.)
the install user would be limited to mostly disk related activities. This is just 1 example of the features that could be possible by singling out the whole process of system level software installation.
All operators of non-lethal devices must -prior to use- be exposed to the device for a typical dosage. All direct supervisors must also fulfill the same requirement.
I know MN cops must get a pepper spray dose so they know what it is like.
Stat wise you can claim that there is ONE Earth with life that is intelligent -per galaxy (using us as the only positive sample for this galaxy.)
If you agree with that premise, then there is an estimated 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe; therefore, we can estimate there is 200 billion places similar to Earth.
