...the Pirates of the Carribean don't eat the tourists."
Hasn't this debate already been played out?
Besides- the critters they're planning to "reintroduce" haven't really been here before. Sure, we used to have mammoths, wooly rhinos, and sabre-toothed cats in North America, but you can hardly call modern elephants, etc. the same thing. Why would anyone expect a different creature to adapt to the physical (and meteorological) environments that exist here today? Leave them where they are, and tell USAID to sponsor a higher bounty on the poachers than the poachers get for the threatened animals. The invisible hand will do the rest...
...on a boar would be somewhat more useful than yet another browser.
Of course, this is from a Mac user's perspective- I already have to choose from Safari, Firefox, Omniweb, Mozilla, Camino, iCab, Opera, IE (ha!)- and a few other minor ones that I haven't tested yet.
Wouldn't be a good idea to try adjusting the thing's orbit in advance of the 2029 encounter just to prove that we *can*? We've spent a lot of taxpayer dollars in the past just to prove a concept- why not do it again? There'll probably be plenty of applications for how-to-land-on/move-an-asteroid technoloogy in future decades...
1) Anyone ever read A.C. Clarke's "The Hammer of G-d" or "3001" - looks like Sony is working to make the "BrainMan" a reality!
2) From the discussion it seems like these patents may be subject to a (very rare) challenge on "usability" grounds. If the idea is only theoretical, how can they be said to have "reduced it to practice" in patent parlance?
What's this?! Someone who actually understands cricket! (The "attempting to bat against the Australian bowling attack" part.)
I spent a year in England listening to the BBC and never figured out what the sports reporters were talking about. Could you point me towards any online resources that explain the game?
Much obliged..

25%? Yeep- I didn't know it was that bad! Well that does it for me- Mars or bust!
What percentage of people die of cancer here on earth? Maybe it's *safer* to live in a bio-dome on Mars...
Beautiful plumage!
I thought it was funny, gramps.
D'oh! Ya beat me to it. I heard this joke for the first time from the bridesmaid I was escorting down the aisle during my brother's wedding.

Cisco released an update (4.6.03.0160) on 5/13, but be aware that it's for single-processor configs only. Check out http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/ 12696 for some initial reactions.

No- and I mean *NO* nude sunbathing for any of y'all until 2006. We just can't afford to take the chance.
...apropos for anyone else who wants to whore out their website.

I can sell you mine- I won't be needing it 'cause I can't generate the 1.21 Gigawatts of power I need to get the thing moving...
I just sent a check to a randomly generated PO Box at a randomly generated ZIP code. Think they'll get it? (No, it wasn't made out to 'cash.')

I've often wondered if he'll find one of 'em sitting up on 6 little cinder blocks and with the radio missing...
Because holographics uses photons, not tachyons. Tachyons are faster-than-light, so only Cdr. LaForge would be able to "see" them.

8. Don't rely on Windows any more. Get yerself one of those nifty Linux distributions or (dare I say?) a Mac.
They're probably referring to the IPv4 to IPv6 upgrade. As is, IPv6 provides sufficient address space for a small galaxy.
