Yeah, exaclty! Why is it that some people can not just stick to the source units?
This is coming from Italy, and they wouldn't touch imperial units with a 10 foot pole (pun intended).
Some European ISPs are providing IPv6 to their DSL customers, they must have some way of routing it. I'm told Asian countries are way more IPv6 enabled than the western world.
I see it more as buying a season ticket to the stadium game, you have to prove you have a ticket every time you enter the stadium, just like you have to prove you own the game before starting it up.
There is one thing though, you don't have to connect to Valve every time you start the game. I have enjoyed playing HL2 in offline mode since the first time I activated it. I can't say for the CD-in-drive thing since I buyed it online.
SPAM is not a technical issue, but a social one. As long as there is someone out there who buys as a result of these messages, they will continue.
We might be albe to reduce the amount of spam by micropayments or other technical solutions, but there are people out there who actiualy look forward to reading their SPAM so they can buy some new 'gadget'.
There was actiualy a story in slashdot before about an induvidual who regularly buys items from email ads.
If I remember correctly, 7% of recipients contact the company sending the ads, and of those, 30% actiualy buys the products. SPAM truely is an effective advertising tool.
Sometimes the ignorance of the slashdot community seems endless. The article is not suggesting we should stop exploring the space, just not use humans for now.
The cost of human space travel is so much higher then for automated systems. If not for more than the life support needed to sustain us in space. The savings from not having to send huge amounts of material in space and maintaining it could be used to design better robots.
With these better robots we could to better research in more hostile locations than we could with humans, and could even find places we could live. When that spot if found we could start planing on sending humans there for colonizations.
We are so far from having the technology for long distance space travel, and let alone living on a hostile world.
Face it, he is right for the most part, we have no business is space except for fundraising for NASA.
Sorry for the rant, but I just got fed up.

It doesn't matter how many positive articles get submitted if the editors never accept them, now does it?
