If you're doing something on a computer that can (most of the time) be done in real life (such as going to a party), it's either a game or a simulation.
It's Microsoft's fault that people have to install insecure extensions to make web work like it should have worked in the first place.
Sorry to burst your trolling bubble but no one from Microsoft held a gun to your head and forced you to install anything. In this case, there are only two people to blame for installing insecure extensions. They are you and yourself.
The sucessful development was enevitable. Humans would eventually make such a weapon. I am basing this off the fact that Germany and (there is some speculation) Japan were developing an atomic bomb.
My point is, the creation of any kind of new WMD by humans is unstoppable. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the "fireworks" show. ^_^
If you were causing all sorts of trouble (such as being noisy) and someone was to make you stop through means of force (and succeeded silencing you), then peace has been achieved.
The former proposal is estimated to cost anywhere from $6 trillion to $200 trillion dollars, while the spaceship solution would run approximately $500 billion
Due to the cost of this project, there is no way in hell that ANY government would even think about a contract for this project. After all, politians have to be paid and so do civilian contractors working on defense projects.
When this fails to get enough recruits can the draft be far behind?
Not likely. Drafts aren't as easy to obtain now as they were in the 1960s. The president can request a draft but Congress has the final word on whether or not a draft will be in effect.
With that said, you have to keep in mind one thing. Humans love cushy jobs. And from what I understand about being a congressman, it is a pretty cushy job. You know go travel, get paid a (at least) six figure income, and do a vote every once in a while just to make it look like to the people that you are actually doing something.
So if todays Congress decides to pass a draft, you can bet on them not keeping their cushy jobs for every long afterwards.
Slashdot Mirror
I hear they brought their own weapons with a guy who has done it once before. They got paid when they returned.

Symantec biased? NEVER!!!
Slashdot and a majority of its readers biased? NEVER!!!!
Uh oh! I hear the slashdot trolls coming out from underneath the flame-bait bridge.
What else could be done to get to space with minimal harm to the planet?
Burn humans for fuel. Seriously, if you want to save your beatiful planet then kill all humans.
This is one of the times where science will require the sacrafice of the insignificant.
The parent of this post is so very right. How cares about Tux Racer. Has anybody in linux gamer land ever heard of Quake or UT2004?
Hmmmm.....this article (and maybe future posts) sound a lot like the one from an earilier article.
Slashdot editors, can we please have a new subject to read and discuss?

Here is a fun fact: Japan had HDTV during the early 1980s.

Can I still print "FIRST POST" with these new Printers? Do these new printers......run linux?
I wish I could cast a spell to kill all level 3+ /. trolls. But I don't have the karma points!
You cannot bring about peace with war.
Of course you can bring about peace with war.
If you were causing all sorts of trouble (such as being noisy) and someone was to make you stop through means of force (and succeeded silencing you), then peace has been achieved.
ut others are not so sure, and are speculating that Godzilla has awoken from its nap
It can't be Godzilla. It HAS to be Gamera!
He is friend to all children. He is made of turtle meat and is really neat!

Now if they can remove the dog's skin and keep it in it's state of living death.......then we'll have the dogs from Silent Hill.
You're a scrotum sucker, which about says it all!
Shut up, infidel! I'll fly my air plane into your house, you cum-dumpster!
I believe slashdot has reached a new level of gayness...
Yup. Slashdot is becoming like Jerry Springer by the fact that they are bith running out of stories.
but in Soviet Russia, Mars comes to you!
