Give pilots guns and train them not to open the door until they've landed. Make the cockpit door stronger if need be. Instructions to land in an emergency should only come from the ground, never from the cabin.
Wouldn't it also be safe to say that most scientists, regardless of their desire to be "open minded", start with the presupposition that there is no God? Or, "Wow, look at this big hole, I wonder how it was made in keeping with the idea that there is no God"?
That's not the point. The point is that if a visit is possible, then colonization is possible. If colonization is possible, then colonization is likely, unless stopped (i.e. by a more advanced civilization). If colonization is not stopped, then it happens. If there was another earth in orbit around the Sun, we'd probably have colonized it by now, because it's there and reachable. Same goes for any planet that is within our reach. It's just a matter of technology. So if we haven't been colonized (as seems to be the case), then it's because we're not within reach of a civilization that has the technology to reach us. Our planet is certainly hospitable to many forms of life.
Funny how easy it is to find fossils with a "developmental flaw", and difficult to find "transitional" fossils. Why does "science" assume this was a flaw? Why isn't the first assumption that there were two headed reptiles running around millions of years ago?
You've got a couple things backwards. First, early adoption is not always about having the money so much as having the stomach to part with the money. Having a lot of money does not make someone an early adopter. Second, there are examples all over of products that fail despite better specifications (power). Famous ones are things like Betamax and the 3DO.
There is a difference between a 3D game and navigating the web, though. Hypertext allows you to navigate with a mouse only. Making it more complicated to navigate through a system won't improve its chances of acceptance.
No, an idiot is someone that thinks giving MS $500 and their rootkit-altering driver is a good way to make money.
If MS doesn't find anything suspicious, your credit trail will certainly be easy enough to follow. Unless you think sending them $500 cash in an envelope with no return address will get the job done...
What would be really awful is if you had an emergency and couldn't make a call because you were inside.
Or even worse, someday you might want signals to travel in and out of a building for something like Wimax. What do you do, scrape the walls of an entire movie theatre?
I may not believe in gravity, but if I jump off a bridge, I'll fall. It doesn't matter if I believe it to be true or not. It just is.
I don't believe in evolution, because no one can predict anything based on it. A theory is supposed to lead to reproducible tests. If the world was really worried about evolution "happening", then we'd all be out looking for a monkey that can do algebra, whistle Dixie, and spell encyclopedia.
Half of the kids in the U.S. can't do that.;-)

Someone please run a grammar check on that first sentence.

There was a lessthan/greaterthan pair there...
China Japan. Just a thought.
