  1. See? Your computer is powerful enough! on Spirit Rover Lands Successfully · · Score: 0

    What do you mean you need a new computer, junior? If a 486 is powerful enough for the Hubble Space Telescope, then your Pentium 75 has way more power than you need. Now shut up and go bug your mother.

  2. Dear Mr. Kalupnieks, on Grand Theft Auto Ban To Be Decided By Courts · · Score: 0

    Your arguements and statements are persuasive. However, I want to make a buck. Preferably a lot of them. So save your rhetoric for someone who is listening.

    Sincerely,

    Is when the virtual courts get petitions from virtual citizens about how the real sport of boxing is too violent and should be banned...

    This is a buzz index then. As the radio personality said (Stern?) I don't care what they say about me as long as they are talking about me. (paraphrased)

    Before it was understood that incest caused nasty things to happen in offspring, there weren't social mores against such things.

    Well, the following is from a book written ca 400 BC which predates any "modern" thinking on incest.

    Lev. 18:9 "'Do not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere."

    Lev. 18:10 "'Do not have sexual relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter; that would dishonor you."

    Lev. 18:11 "'Do not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father's wife, born to your father; she is your sister."

    Lev. 18:12 "'Do not have sexual relations with your father's sister; she is your father's close relative."

    Lev. 18:13 "'Do not have sexual relations with your mother's sister, because she is your mother's close relative."

  9. Mining What? on Is Space Mining Feasible? · · Score: 1

    What are we mining here? There are difficulties around the mining/processing that are above and beyond the space issue. For example, are we mining platiunm laced iron ore? Will we extract the platinum (or iron, depending on how ya' look at it) in situ, or will it be shipped to Earth? Transport becomes a distance problem that we have yet to solve. Not so much the shipping to Earth as the sudden stop when it arrives.

    Let's focus on solar mining, which we can practically do from the comfort of our own home. Shipping problems are easy to resolve, and we desperately need the energy now more so than the iron.
