I would question if the we which creates a human mission to mars will not be the same we working on the ISS. And thus doubt if any useful knowledge would be passed on.
And I would also question if any learnings (I hate that non-word) from the ISS would be applicable. Take your example of the toilet. The requirements for a Mars mission may be different to that of the ISS in terms of space available, crew size (utilisation capacity), recycling capability etc etc etc. Which means it needs to be designed differently.
So given that it will be a different designer making a different product (with similar functionality), how useful will the prior experience actually be?
Apple is not currently murdering small children. Wait a few years.
Meh, Linux can already murder small children, and with the right command line parameters, and the beta build and a few tweaks to the code and using some specific hardware configurations, older children to!
IIRC this has gone on throughout history. I recall that in the 1978 series "The Body in Question", Johnathan Miller discussed how medicine has frequently used an analogy of the then latest technology to explain the workings of the mind and body. In particular I remember (for obvious reasons) the 19th century looms controlled by giant punched cards. Worth looking up if you are interested.
Most people want higher resolution. HD was a compelling shift in tv technology. One look and people saw it was better.
And yet, I remember discussions here (and I think there are some above) saying HD content is not compelling for them. Or that their wife couldn't tell the difference.
I wouldn't judge it to be a failure by any means, but clearly the market hasn't wholeheartedly embraced it either.
I'd say that without the forced factory installs, the current 17-18% would be much lower, and that must be a disappointing "voluntary" take-up rate for Microsoft.
It still smacks of shoddy implementation though: (1) Why you would still need to CTRL-ALT-DEL to logon to your tablet - unless your tablet is a poorly disguised PC? (2) Why couldn't they rename it to the "logon key" or "home key" or "Start key" since it isn't CTRL-ALT-DEL any more?

Wasn't this legislation introduced specifically to fight terrorists? So now the Ministry of Truth has revised the facts. Never trust those who have power over us.

Here's an idea to try: Do just like you suggested, only without the levy on blank media.
Don't forget the high demand in children for thick rimmed glasses.
And yet, have *we* actually _learned_ anything?

What do you mean "doing little to thwart actual terrorists"?
How many planes have blown up in the USA lately? None. So the TSA is 100% effective!
Whereas everywhere else in the world, without the gropings by the TSA, planes are exploding out of the sky daily, almost hourly!
You've never had it so good!
Where's my -1 Anthropomorphism mod when I need it?
The problem with your reasoning is that something must have created the universe that the something that created our universe exists in. And so on.
So it's turtles all the way down.
Does the 403 page count as my one freebie?
Of letters, yes.
Mayday! Mayday! I think I'm flying into a mountain! Tell my wife I lo...

It's a V6, you insensitive clod!

Yes, 2015 will be the "year of murdering small children on the desktop".
You just wait and see!

Is there any chance that the bacteria that is prevalent in one part of the world nudge people in that part of the world to act in certain ways?
I believe this was covered already.
So, wouldn't the north pole be preferable then? The ice would have a damping affect, and the coastline is almost entirely unoccupied.

Seems like people are different.
I see you have posted AC...not DC.
Do you really think so?

But surely there is no "outside the bowl".
Or am I just thinking like a goldfish?
Microbee? Didn't you die in the '80s?
Is that an imperial home, or a metric home?
It still smacks of shoddy implementation though:
(1) Why you would still need to CTRL-ALT-DEL to logon to your tablet - unless your tablet is a poorly disguised PC?
(2) Why couldn't they rename it to the "logon key" or "home key" or "Start key" since it isn't CTRL-ALT-DEL any more?
I mean, can't you just wait for the tablet to prompt you to press CTRL-ALT-DEL?
They solved that for the HP Tablet by putting a CTRL-ALT-DEL button on the side. Seriously.
