  1. Re:Why not another attempt? on Hayabusa To Begin Long Journey Back to Earth · · Score: 1

    Why haven't we sent manned missions to Mars yet? For one, we don't know if we can get the people back. I highly doubt that even with that restriction there would be a lack of volunteers, myself one of them.

    Oh, you mean the embedded microcontroller. I'd hesitate to call it a brain...

    That's what you get for LMAOing so much.

    It's still better than leaving the particles in, I would gather, unless they somehow keep causes of disease low, which is unlikely.

    I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure they're just trying to boast.

  10. Re:Let me answer your question with this statement on Is An Uninformed Vote Better Than No Vote? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would assume that by educated he meant the masses being educated. You know, not brainwashed. Which is probably why he used "educated" and not "brainwashed." Just a hunch.

  11. Re:Why not make EDT the new EST on Prepared for Next Year's Time Change? · · Score: 1

    Because then the timezone that's UTC - 4 would be extra wide! And that'd be unfair, and we can't have timezones feeling inadequate, now can we?

  12. Re:I find it quite funny.... on Will the U.S. Lose Control of the Internet? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The thing is, the US doesn't really have a monopoly on the Internet. If any country didn't like what the US was doing with it, they could ignore it. This is because the only thing the US has control over is the DNS system. And considering the hierarchical layout of the DNS system, it'd be relatively easy for any country to change the DNS systems they own. The biggest reason people have given for the US to control the root DNS servers is that the US is the country least likely to force the governing organization (Which is not part of the US gov't) to change something.


    But let's say the US does force ICANN to change something. If another country doesn't like it, they can either put up with it, or implement their own root DNS servers and force their ISPs to switch. The other arguement for US control is that the UN is too corrupt to be allowed to handle the DNS system. But let's say that all countries in the UN (Except the US, obviously) agree to take control from the US. The US can still run their own DNS servers, it's just that no one else will be using them. The thing is, there doesn't need to be a UN resolution passed to do this. Any country can just stop using those servers right now. I think that this is why most people say to leave it as it is.

    Yeah, it's a bit overdone. Between the monkey, the iPod, and the PS3, you should have more than enough blood flow to not need viagra.
