Scientist: You found something?
Engineer: Yes, my lord.
Scientist: (studying the image on the console screen) That's it. The
Rebels are there.
Engineer: My lord, there are so many uncharted settlements. It could be
smugglers, it could be...
Scientist: That is the system. And I'm sure Skywalker is with them. Set
your course for the Hoth system. General Veers, prepare your men.
Our system of justice works upon the idea that it is BETTER for a guilty man to walk free than it is for an innocent man to be convicted. That is why we must be vigilant in keeping a careful justice system that does not rush through things.
I am somewhat surprised there isn't a manned research station though... I would think there would be a lot of scientists interested in staying there in a relatively comfortable lab for an extended period of time.
I agree with you, but leave off slavery. The USA was the only country that had a civil war "over slavery" (it wasn't about slavery). Every other country settled the debate without bloodshed.
Who remembers the game Starship Titanic? It was a spinoff from the Hitchhiker's Guide universe.
The AI with the bots was remarkable for its time. The graphics weren't too shabby either.
I had an experience with this kind of thing just today. My music education class is taking a short detour into technology use in the classroom for the next couple of weeks. I was happily surprised to note that one of the prominent examples of music software to use was Audacity. The link was in big bold letters on the handout: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Think of it this way. If the differences between male and female humans were arbitrarily decided by society, then how is it that every separate human culture on earth arrived at a similar result?
Not true. Margaret Mead, a pioneer in American anthropology, wrote few books on the matter. One was Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies (1935). She studied the gender roles among three native groups in Papua New Guinea. Her findings:
Arapesh - Males and females alike "gentle, responsive, and cooperative."
Mundugumor - Both males and females "violent and aggressive, seeking power and position."
Tchambuli - Distinct gender roles, women being "dominant, impersonal, and managerial" and men being "less responsible and more emotionally dependent."
If you "disinfect" a surface, it's like clear-cutting a rain-forest. You've upset the balance, making a fresh new playground where the really baad and hardy weeds might take hold.

Amen!

If you're sending up space shuttle Discovery, I doubt there's a lot of wasted costs on putting a lightsabre in there. :-p
The average cost per pound to send to Low Earth Orbit is $3632 - $4587. [1]

What tool modded the parent as flamebait? =\

Oh, there is. Sealab 2021.
I really like Facebook, but I guess I'm just not really into "social networking." (Whatever that means, exactly.)
What you call "social networking", I call "making friends".
I don't think so. This contest called for lossless data compression. MP3 (and JPEG, etc etc) compression is lossy.
Could we possibly fit any more acronyms in there?

Mod parent up! I was miffed to read that "archaeologists could replace anthropologists" as all archaelogists are anthropologists too!

How is this a factor? It is in orbit, and relatively stable.
Anything in orbit is in a constant state of free-fall. Learn about it...

So to answer your question -- no.
