Maybe if we put resources towards this kind of mission we'll be able to discover different and better ways of doing the every day things we do here on Earth?
"Even so...when the 20-30 people are away to the other planet...how would it change us? "
Even so...when we have "aeroplanes" that can travel through the air with people in them to places that horse drawn carriage would take days to reach...how would it change us?
Why do anything? Because we CAN. Research. New resources. Other life! Why did the settlers go west? Why did early man travel to what is now the Americas? Because the possibility of there being some cool shit there was enough of a reason to risk their lives and check it out.
Actually, the use of the phone isn't what's dangerous. The chances of getting into an accident while talking on your cell are about the same as they would be if you were having an in depth conversation with someone else in the car.
It's not holding the phone to your head it's the CONVERSATION that distracts you.
But in the bar you agree to the contract before you buy anything. One could argue that any terms not set forth at the time of the purchase aren't part of the contract.
In Massachusetts if you disagree with a contract you've entered you have something like a week to get out of it. I'm sure the same kind of thing exists in other states, too. And even if he did 'digitally sign' something, it still means jack.
You are also able to leave the armed forces. These days it's as easy as planting evidence that you're homosexual or saying you object to the practices of the military for personal or religious reasons.
Seriously, I was talking with some military types, and it's REALLY easy to get out. They want soldiers who want to do their job, not disgruntled employees who are issued weapons.
If I make up a contract that says you have to give me your car and that you agree to it by putting it down.. once I hand it to you and you put it down, you haven't agreed to SHIT. You need to sign to agree, and the only reason the EULAs on computers make you click "I Agree" is to look intimidating.
Think China. Hell, even think England. If our privacy was that violated, the youth would end up leading the way to revolution, though. First, they vandalize the cameras. Then they're arrested, their friends protest and are beaten and arrested. OHSHIT, your son was in that group, you're pissed. You protest, you're beaten and arrested, your friends and family get pissed and start organizing a revolt.
It's the EXACT SAME WAY that our actions in the Middle East create more terrorists. We create the weapons that kill us.
I'm a recent switcher, going on 6 months now, and I have found a free app for everything I've needed to convert.
There are WAY more free apps for OS X than Windows, and the OS X ones do their jobs well and look damn good.

But why be negative? We're not asking you to go.

You, sir, are ants at a picnic.

Maybe we can outlaw talking?
THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
Less space than a nomad? No wireless? LAME.
"I installed it on an OS it says not to install on and it doesn't work! OMGWTFBBQSANDWICHES!"
Learn things, man. Learn things.
That whooshing was the sound of the joke going over your head. Which is sad, because it's a pretty simple joke.
I could care less about the English language.

If the Iraqi people started an uprising against their government, would you be for our support of them with our own troops and weapons?
I don't agree with Iraq, but you're making no sense.
"Stupid, stupid !!"
Were you summarizing your comment?
Not only is there a MASSIVE popup, but there's also a video that starts playing WITH AUDIO.

This government isn't as bad as it could be.

But you ignore the fact that if we did nothing, the face of Europe would be VERY different today.
I've used windows since 3.1 and a mac since december. I've found more free apps for my mac than windows.

He's on slashdot, what are the chances that he'll ever have sex with a woman?
Ooh.. painful realization.
I'm going to go cry now.
Microsoft seems to think Microsoft Bob was a good idea.
But who is Microsoft anyway?
BIG COMPANY != ALWAYS CORRECT
Sometimes I feel bad for trolls.
And since face recognition software can't be fooled by a photograph, your idea is FLAWLESS!
OHWAITNO.
All I'd have to do is hold up a picture that kinda looks like him, and I'm in his house.
Well, enjoy your next major flooding. And this time, you don't get to whine that it was someone else's responsibility.
How do you get internet access from an old shack in the woods?
