I've notified the proper authorities about your question. The Spanish Inquisition will be over shortly to discuse this matter with you. Feel free to inform them of your favorite methode of torture and any allergic reactions to leather whips or red-hot metal you might have.
It seems to me their more interested in settling the personal problems of their own existence than finding anything helpful.
Selfintrest is a very good motivation. Point is that they don't work in a vacuum. Their goal might be getting in the history books as the people who found the first E.T., but if their work results indirectly, for example, in a better microscope that enable someone else to find a cure for cancer, then the whole thing is still benign.
It is scientific research. It does not have to have a praktical use. That's what engineers are for. If you can't think of anything to do with it, fine, there's more than likely someone who is going to come up with an idea of what to do with this tech and make a fortune on it.
It's not actually hard to make a radio telescope - get a big dish, an LNA (low-noise amplifier for the signal), a microwave receiver, and a PC (windows or linux). Oh, and lots of space for that dish:-) Total cost is ~$2000 if you buy everything. Ebay is your friend regarding getting stuff cheap, though:-) It cost me significantly less than that... So, get searchin!
I got really excited about that! But then my gf gave me that oh-no-you-don't look so I guess it's back to stamp collecting I suppose.
I don't know about you, but chatlogs are the last things I want to be remembered through. So I started my autobiography. I wrote over 15000 pages covering my youth. Unfortunatly the editor shorted it to one sentence: "Sat in front of computer, did difficult to understand stuff."
Worse, the 12000 pages covering age 20 to 23 were sumerized to "more of the same" and the 9700 pages covering age 23 til present shorted to "same, but with girlfriend".
I'm not sure, but I suspect that some people thing my life's pretty boring.
Well, you know quantum uncertainty and quantum tunneling? Because of these phenomenon (if spelling is incorrect, please read "things") there is a very small but non-zero chance that unzipping your pants will release enough energy to vaporize the planet. So please stop risking our lives.
My wife didn't like it, but I knew buying that missle defense system was a good idea. She'll see the advantages when I show her you can cook any food in 4 seconds by holding it in front of the radar dish.
Do what we do: use rubber bands and straight paperclips. Ok, getting killed with this is a very, very long and very, very painful death, but they should have thought about that before taking our guns away.
Pipe bombs? Ha! in the thirth grade they taught us to make NBC weapons! My bird flu even made the news all around the world. Well, biocontainment wasn't taught before grade four...

The state and the Church have always been partners. The state keeps the people poor, the Church keeps them ignorant.
It's called masochisme and is probably not spelled this way.

Now I can make posts on slashdot without anyone being able to read them. Privacy at last!

Ok, who let Clipy on slashdot? I thought the "No Office-Assistents Alowed"-sign was clear about that.
I think that line of research is going to make gangbang movies really hard to follow...
Wel, most ICs start to lose their composition around 120C or 250F, So I suppose the updated title would be "Farenheit 250"
Don't laugh. They might carpet bomb the whole of Canada with Britney spears CDs.
shouldn't that be:

Same thing that's already in a human brain at birth:
void SuckAtNipple();
void CryForAttention();
void Shit();
That makes the issue of the 120Kg bald guy who thinks he's attractive a matter of national security.

Thought suppressor devices are already in every living room. They're called TV.
So should have you. You just aided a potentional terrorist. But look it on the bright side: We might be cell mates soon...

Perhaps he came across a shark with a frikking laser?
