"this technology should be used to help here FIRST!"
An you know everything about usability in Earth enviroment, right?
Another nut... like they whom say NO to space travel while is at least one starving child on world.
"Humanity could advcance much faster he we could solve all of our problems here with ourselves before going to outside help!!"
Our problems NEVER will be solved if we only sit on this fucking rock. And escape from that gravity well is NOT a solution, it is BEGINNING of solution.
Of course, all our problems will end, when (not IF... yes, WHEN!) humanity die. We as species can only choose way of extinct: we kill ourself or we give birth to something many, many, MANY fold times powerful as we.
This is way of evolution: better species was created, ancestors perish.
My point is different: price of Voyager maintenace is so low, that we can afford both (Voyager mission and exploration of Mars) and NO reasons exists to scrap Voyager.
Well, problem with space travels is that - no money, at least in near future. Exception: space tourism shows some potential to give faster income...
This is my hope: technology go forward thanks to solving technical problems with sending humans on orbit, thanks to competion prices drops and cost of raising into space 1kg lowers. NASA, ESA and others (India? Japan? China? Russia?) can start other scientific-oriented missions a LOT cheaply. So more missons, more probes, more rovers, more orbiters and moooore other things will be in range of our possibilities.
This unfortunately takes time. A lot of time. But I see it as only one way to regular presence of human in space and on other planets. I hope that I live to be able to see humans on Mars...
I like both rovers.:)
But I think they get more funding because of "to moon, _mars_ and beyond" thing. If NASA want to fulfill this goal, then must gather as much information as possible about Mars.
I like idea of human presence on Moon and Mars, but not for price of cutting other succesful projects like Voyager.
Well, what if lesser AI starts programming greater AI?
If AI is possible (thats it: human intelligence can create something smartet than himself), then AI can create better AI just as human can create AI.
I don't think so. Human is bordered, bounded by (paradoxically) his universality. Artifical Inteligence can be construced in one specific task in mind - in this case, resolving science questions. And brain of AI can be much larger than human brain and made from scrath from materials totally different than brain tissue.
...attacking a ship, murdering/raping all on board and take all of valuable.
How poor are all sofware companies, if they feel illegal copying/copyright violation like piracy described above...
I think that in far future all science will be done by AI, because knowledge will be too complicated and complex to understand for even most inteligent human on chemical boost/genetic engineered/stuffed with chips.
We will see. Now popups appear because they can mimick legitimate popups (showed after click). Very erratic and somewhat rare, but irritiating. And always (in my case) show behind actual page - so-called pop-unders.
Funny thing - in school I've forced to use IE. What a unpleasant experience. Popups everywhere. No tabs. Mess on taskbar.
Thats tell all, eh?

Dudes from USA Patent Office thinks "prior art" is kind of food.
Seriously, many times they approved patents on things what exists for many, many years. Why brother with "prior art"? They get money for approving patents without consequences... no penatlies for bogus patents at all... a x mega$ fines from few lost processes over patents should give them lesson. If actually they can be punished for approving that kind of patents!
"Computer solitaire, for example-- what, do you need the cards flipping over to look cool? Tetris.... doesn't really need "physics"."
Well, you suggest that Solitaire and Tetris needed 3D accelerators? With your logic not only PPU, but also GPU cannot thrive.

FF 1.0.3 still leave garbage in Add/Remove Programs. Pitful. What the hell they think?

Specially for you I will start marking posts like [irony], [sarcasm] or [text for idiots whom don't understand it anyway]. Oh, nevermind...
But why not to keep both? Cost of Voyagers are minimal in term of NASA budget.

" It was discovered by an American!"
It is biggest reason - American nationalism. Scientific objectivity, anyone?
Well, FF launch fast. Only first time launch after last computer reset can take come seconds. I can survive this. And you?
"fundamentally new approaches are needed" Read: "we need Great Chi.. er, USA Firewall".

What 'us'?? I'm Pole, too. This is why I comment grandparent's post. Well, EOT 'cuse it is offtopic.
Well, maybe it is only me...
Damn, Poles are everywhere... I fear to open fridge. ;)

CPU (compute), GPU (graph), SPU (sound), PPU (physic)... why stop here? Prepare to AIPU (Artifical Inteligence Processing Unit), SAPU (Sexual Affair Processing Unit), 4DPU (4-dimensional Processing Unit), WPU (World Processing Unit) and so on...
