Who gave the friggin Octopus the key to robotic designs again, damnit!
And people say the mid eval ages set us back 100s of years, why back in my days we at least trained monkeys to hold OUR robotics design keys, Yesh...
What happens if we send out a solar powered craft and it goes beyond the reach of sol? does its name then change?

Just name everything that doesn't fuse "Planet X" untill further study, and it sounds nice too. Maybe Having groups to "sexitize" it like Planet XP or iPlanet and so on could define the basic types.
This argument works on everything and is very true. Never stop advancement due to counter measures making it obsolete. It's a shame people can't relate this to intelligence funding and or weapons development.
If we're talking about long term viable solutions nothing competes with nuclear energy. The only candidate would be thermal energy but that's situational/regional and much harder to deal with.
When will people get over their petty fears of nuclear ENERGY (not warheads!) and stop talking about wind power and all that other nonsense.
I've seen a lot of people post about the cost of sending up waste into the sun/space, but when we have reusable space crafts why not start sending up portions?

You're saying "lets stop research because it's worthless and expensive"
You're 100% correct in the assumption that any country and within 20 years or much earlier start up a nuclear system to take out the good ol' usa. The problem your soft, mushy brain seems to be having is that _we_ "the people" and the government don't have to sit down and say, "Hey guys, it's pretty useless, we can't do anything if they do this..." No, that's stupid that's why we spend so much money on programs like this. because we NEED to be ahead of the curb even if only by a few years, we need to find ways to protect our nation and our allies. Why don't you get that? If a country decided to blow us up because they wanted something, what in gods name is diplomacy going to do? EH? how about our allies? It's pretty damn clear the DPRK is going to invade south korea and or japan within the next 50 years, they loath and want revenge against them- and us now too. We're already caught up in so much crap in this world that cannot be settled by diplomacy once one side decides to say "You know what? Fuck that, we're bigger stronger and you can't defend against us anyhow". In the end, although it may be an endless weapons tech battle costing billions or trillions of dollars, we must continue to test, create innovate and make plans and try and read and defend against all viable threats in the future and near future. Then, in 5-10 years, they may have the "the shit" but we'll be able to defend against it. Get it? Staying ahead of the game is how modern day warfare and "diplomancy" works. Nothing is going to change that until the vastly superior aleins come and turn us into a weapons free utopia where we're all sedated 24/7.
I wonder what sort of physical "enhancements" or rather at what point you're not allowed to play in some of these bigger shows. I mean, if hawkings decided to play poker there isn't anyway you can read him at the table, he's got the odds and numbers down better than anyone, and likely has a machine/person to handle his card, it's pure advantage!
Maybe you're thinking the word "toughness"
toughness is tensile strength. Diamonds are relatively weak in relation to toughness compared to most things.
Am I the only one that thinks it's more retarded to build a space station rather than invest in nuclear rockets? you _could_ base everything on earth then OR so much more easily make your fancy little space station.
Just to be a little absurd, We're saying We Can You Can, not trying to justify anything. This _IS_ leading by example isn't it? The example being, spy on us and we blow your shit up. We're not feigning anything here, I think the message "we'll blow your stuff up" is pretty darned clear.
Hypocrisy = The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness..
Now saying we won't blow your stuff up because we believe it's wrong to blow stuff up, and blow it up anyhow and then justify it would by hypocrisy. If we say we're going to blow it up, and we blow it up... we're just doing what we said we'd do.
bunch of ungratefull bastards, you just go ahead and keep on making more enemies, pissing off more of your former allies...
Why wasn't I told about this former ally stuff? I call shot gun! (te-he-he)
If it's brown flush it down if it's yellow let it mellow
letting the brown float is just wrong, but if i flushed every time i pissed with the ammount of drinks i have a day, i'd be paying almost as much for water as i am for broadband!
I can name at least 3 things.
1.) Penguins vs Windows icon
2.) Ultra Rich Nerd vs no-where near as rich Ultra Nerd.
3.) 3d pinball vs pengu racing
now, it's all up to you...

If my post was offensive to either of you, I am sorry and would like offer my aplogogy with the following statement. Cyclops > Titan
Titan > Cyclops.
If we all think REAL HARD, it'll change the numbers? C'mon everyone, lets try it!!!

Actually the redskins won the game before they didn't.

The funny part is he doesn't even supports howard, so he's even immune to any Kerry/Edwards backlash! He's put some thought into these zingers.
Last time I checked the UN _was_ useless.

They are? I can't tell /.ers from trolls anymore.
This is exactly the kind of reason I unsubscribed to Conventional Wisdom.

Why hasn't any hippy /.er said "just tell bush they're wmds and it'll never pass"
