You wouldnt need a laser to etch the goatse man on the moon. Hell, you can etch ads on the moon without problems. All you need is alot of coal dust to draw lines with.
There is no wind on the moon so the image will stay forever, or until the next asteroid collission, due in the next -1.662x10^6 days
No laser etching required at all. Now, as for the moonraker... *evilgrin*
Doom encourages two high schoolers to go suicidal and massacre kids at a school, and all we hear is a public outcry on why violent games are bad. A kid playing WoW dies and Blizzard gets sued? What's the world coming to?
"can harm you if they escape from their enclosures... if a fiber wall is about to break"
That possible? Gee, thanks for making me not want to have LASIK done on my eyes >_
Seriously, I hope this technology comes out of testing and into RWU (Real world use) very soon. If this kind of news leaks out, public paranoia will be all the rage:P
"'The company will charge three cents per downloaded podcast to report whether a downloader listened, and for how long.'"
I have a better idea
How about this: podcast makers tag their podcasts with a special "podcast" mp3 tag (what were they called again? ID3 tags?) which have the podcast site and date. The software which transfers these things to mp3 players then report this data to a central site (heck, apple.com or microsoft.com is fine:P) which processes the data and reports which podcasts had the most listeners/viewers (video podcasts) and which site has the most popular podcasts. The media access control address (MAC address) of the computer would be attached to every filed report so that the site can discard it if the MAC address already downloaded a certain podcast onto their ipod, thus not allowing for duplicates.
of course, everything would need to adopt this format, even explorer.exe if the mp3 player does drag and drop:-/
hmm, maybe a firmware update can allow mp3 players to report the stats while theyre plugged in...
I've done several online certification programs and I have to agree, but I have no idea if a Computer Science course online is a good route. I would love to hear some opinions on this matter as well.
I disagree with you, but this is just my opinion:
1) Our population is increasing almost exponentially. If we dont get started researching permanent rehabitation now, we may not be able to sustain ourselves in the future
2) assume a cataclysmic event happened on Earth. If we have people in space when it happens (like, colonizing mars or something) then we may survive as a species to see another day
there are more reasons. If I missed some, reply with more:D

Sound familiar?

.net framework, anyone?

Microsoft shares? Did I read that right?
How about a dictionary in Navajo or Iroquois? Heck, even pig latin would do!

The introduction of wi-fi with this game was superbly executed in my opinion...
I mean, come on! Free wi-fi at every mcdonalds!
Every time one of these topics hits the /. index, theres always a flame war which brews...

How much effort would it take to convert an epilog laser printer into a high-powered moonraker? :P
"What makes this even funnier, of course, is that tin foil hats won't stop them."
:P
what are you talking about? Tin foil hats stop everything
Gee if I was an OS writer Id do it too - its free publicity!
:D
I feel so glad for the red hat crew right now, because theyre going to get lots and lots of promotion from this
Well I doubt that the satellites would be able to 3D-ize an eclipse anyway, but

Its too bad this doesnt work on punch cards, especially with those "pregnant chads"

Google's listing of its Summer of Code winners might also be a good place to look
Eolas hacked the supreme court to force a ruling :P
They probably left it open so that they could DDOS Google with 95% of the world's computers
Well its too bad they couldnt cover up their intentions a little bit better.
