Yea, we should just disband the military. They aren't good for anything, we can just use diplomacy to settle everything. Like during World War II! That Hitler fellow sure listened to us when we asked him to stop invading other countries.
Oh wait...
and they were running it on some pretty crappy hardware; a PIII w/ 128mb of RAM, a toaster, an old shoe, and a moldy piece of toast still in the toaster
I'm on slashdot so I'm too good to read the actual article, but I've heard about this technique before. Advertisers show both sides in order to appear "balanced" but actually show the bad side of the opposing product. Think those commercials that go something like "yeah there are plenty of cereals that have (some healthful statistic) but only ours has (omg this thing is even more healthful)"
I too would love to see people die so that we can hurl more fragile devices into space that can break for unknown reasons and are incapable of doing anything without direct supervision.

Seriousely it's not like they're gonna get some highly detailed image of how we'd look butt naked. I've seen pictures of this before and the body is just a grayish blob except for metallic objects that show up as being very shiny.
Would have been interesting if they made seperate compartments or something to allow for reheating later. And on a seperate note, what the hell did they spend $24 million on? The chemical compound? Beyond that everything else seems to be simple and already existing technology.
Besides, this isn't the first such programme. Even in India, buses, taxis and rickshaws are required to use CNG, compressed natural gas, which is less poluting than traditional vehicle fuels.
This is America. We have a god given right to use expensive polluting gasoline and I'll be damned if anyones gonna stop me!

Suprisingly balanced for microsoft. I'd have expected them to install Linux on a dead badger and compare it to some system with 3.0 ghz and 4 gigs of ram. http://www.strangehorizons.com/2004/20040405/badge r.shtml

I like your use of bold letters to try and help push your agenda across. We should all believe the bold words without any proof.
