You or any other individual doesn't need to live that long. All you need is to create a vehicle that can be a comfortable home to a group of people who can live together and reproduce without killing each other off. They can work at maintaining the vehicle, producting food, and use simulations for entertainment and exercise. If the group doesn't contain pairs that can breed safely, even that can be acomplished with in vitro fertilization, using simulations of better than the real thing to make it more fun.
This would probably require a lot more psychological and physical testing than required to live on our current spaceship, but for those lucky enough to pass the tests, it could be an extremely satisfying lifestyle. Sign me up.
Personally, I'm a big supporter of the space program, but it's totally unrealistic and, I'd argue, immoral, to ask individuals to disregard their own interests for benefits that almost certainly won't be realized in their lifetimes and may very well never be realized at all.
I completely agree. This is completely analogous to Social Security and the Federal Deficit. We should look out only for ourselves. It is totally immoral to care about the interests of our grandchildren after we are gone
I'm not sure exactly how. But, it is a completely different business model, and I'm not sure anyone has it figured out yet. I am grateful for the Googles of the world whoe enter these ventures without much thought to the compenssations, but I do wish them luck. I want youtube to stay around.
The ban on electronics in flight preexsits cell phones (late 1980's). So, while cell hopping is a real problem for the phone company, it's not the cause of the ban. The ban is simpley because they have know idea what you might be bringing aboard, so they blanket forbid everything.
We have found that if you go to the pilot and discover (s)he is a ham, you can usually get permission to operate a 2m rig.
If I want to have Firefox download my exploit, umm, contribution to thousands of users worldwide, could I get such fast service and minimal vetting if I called it a security patch?
Why do women have babies? Often women have babies even though they have little ability to take care of them. So the theorizing at Cornell is very limited. The first step would be to understand why women have babies.
Why does someone even ask such a question when they wouldn't dream of asking the male version of the same question?
Why do men impregnate women? Often men make babies even though they have little ability to take care of them.....The first step would be to understand why men impregnate women.
The real question is "why do humans have babies?".
These are fundamental laws of nature. We must eat, we must sleep, we must reproduce. It's very hard to resist these basic instincts. Even if the brain knows it's a bad time to get hungry/hard/pregnant, the body doesn't always listen to the brain. Most birth control is merely attempts to trick the body into doing what the brain wants, but seriously, does anyone really enjoy using birth control or abortion? Sexual urges are very hard to fight. Anyone who is physically capable of making babies (male or female) will probably make them unless they are unusually good at self control (or can't find a partner).
There is a store called BJs. You need to be a member to go in. It's a very big store. They do a lot of business around February 14 and a few other holidays as well.

A variant of your headphone solution, but for eyes. Just get a set of virtual reality goggles and see exactly what you want to see.
yeah we had that problem at my school. we couldn't all bring out our senior design projects at the same time or they would interact something awful.
I like youtuve. It pains me to think that my pleaseure is costing them.

Projects like Big Buck Bunny [bigbuckbunny.org] and Elephants Dream [elephantsdream.org]
are those websites safe to click on? they sound like something from the tubgirl collection.

cute is good, cute trying to look uncute is just plain stupid. Girls like cute guys, too.

d the chassis design keeps spilled liquid off the board and allows it to run out the bottom through channels.
That's very important to me
so it's more like complaining that a cup of gourmet coffee is $8 when you could scoop parasite infested water from a drainage ditch for free.
it handles parasite infested water well, too?
ambient noise is conduce to sleep once you get used to it.
it used to be all computers had blinky lights, all lined up right over the toggle switches, which I suppose you could consider the keyboard.
but can you spew coffee on it?
One of my charge card accounts actually asked me that. If I answered correctly, all my childhood friends and enemies are in.
From TFS:
the popularity of computer science majors
computer science majors are popular.
people like to be popular.
popular people get dates.
being popular is cool.
now is the time to be a cs major.
money, dates, cool, QED, yeah.
Why does water flow downhill?

Kinda like leap day, only different.
mole day, anyone?
or for a spelling challenge, let's have Avagodro's day. At least he was a real person (I think).
Nothings more American than Steak and Pie. But, I doubt we have a monopoly on blowjobs.

That's the best kind. The masses have been destroyed and we still haven't found the weapons.
it's not a tolken ring, that's used to catch hobbits
indentured servants
That's exactly the term that's been in my mind. But,indentured servants get their freedom if they and their employer play by the rules.
