    The only reason they are in the news is because they were hacked, not because anyone thought they were relevant.

    The efficient thing to do shot the natural thing to do out an airlock because it was wasting resources.

    Rather than a sealant, wouldn't really high temperatures in a solar oven work in order to fuse it into a solid block?

    Death.

    The exact means of death though has not been determined, but most probably death will be the direct result of the crash. Crashing on Mars is not very forgiving. If anyone survives the initial crash they won't survive long enough for a rescue mission.

    For issue number one, wouldn't grounding work?

    For issue number two, initial greenhouses may be made of plastics, but I would think glass may be made on Mars before plastics considering the lack of oil so any subsequent greenhouses would be made of glass.

    Also, a sexy dwarf-hooker complete with machine gun could add considerable interest to the project, don't you agree?

    Wow, so you completely ignored the triple titties for the midget?

    There currently are midgets, there are not women with triple titties therefor I would have to say that the triple titty women would garner much more interest than a midget chick with a gun.

  10. Re:Can Mars ever hope to be self-sustaining? on Ask Joseph Palaia About Building Lunar Machines and Living On Mars · · Score: 1

    If we are removing resources from Mars then we are probably also at the point that we have been removing resources from asteroids. As such then the market for goods from Mars may not be Earth.

    Also, having a nice bit of gravity is good, and since Mars gravity well is not as deep as Earths it may end up being a better place to consolidate, manufacture and ship goods to different parts of the solar system. Granted though I don't see that happening for another 300 years or so.

    In that case it would be more efficient to mine the asteroids before setting up a Mars colony since the asteroids would be one of the prime building materials.

  12. Living in uninhabitable places on Ask Joseph Palaia About Building Lunar Machines and Living On Mars · · Score: 1

    Considering that Mars is even more uninhabitable of a place to live vs any place on Earth I am wondering which technologies that are being developed for living on Mars may help us live sustainably in rather uninhabitable places here on Earth such as Death Valley or the Atacama Desert?

  13. Re:"Gateway" theory is still irrelevant on Study Finds Alcohol, Not Marijuana, Is the Biggest Gateway Drug For Teens · · Score: 1

    I have been around drugs all my life and I have consumed a fair amount. Though I have stayed away from opiates, tobacco, and stimulants I have been around those who do. (I have oddly enough though been found to be ADD and I am now prescribed a stimulant, but I feel no effect when I take it)

    I am not saying that tobacco addiction leads to harder drugs, I am saying that tobacco addiction sets you up to be more susceptible to addiction in general.

    Think about all those people who just have to have a cigarette directly after doing an activity or substance, they are reinforcing their addiction and tying it to a different activity furthering their addiction, adding yet another trigger.

    Now as for my comment about pot heads who smoke tobacco vs those who don't. It is something I have observed, I do not know the cause.

  14. Re:Having to produce the patented object... on Why There Are Too Many Patents In America · · Score: 1

    Let me get this straight.

    You are saying, what if we already had a product but stopped producing it for a variety of reasons?

    In which case

    Why didn't you patent it while you were producing it?

    Also, why should it matter which business you are in? A patent in one sector often has uses in other sectors. Also, it would be trivial for a patent troll to buy a company in a sector to troll with.

    You are right you did not imply it, kinda misunderstood what you wrote, but what you wrote is still wrong.

    You imply that since the substance does not intoxicate that therefor it's addictive properties does not alter your psychology, even though addiction is a change in ones psychology.

    A mind once expanded does not return to it's original dimensions. The pattern of addiction does not matter if it is intoxicating or not, addiction is addiction. And tobacco is very addictive.

    " but marijuana is only as addictive as masturbation."
    wrong. But keep lying to yourself.
    IT's not as addictive as tobacco, but it can be addictive

    I'm not saying it isn't addictive. Marijuana is not physically addicting like alcohol, it is psychologically addictive due to being pleasurable, like masturbation.

    " while those who have smoked tobacco have a higher rate of addiction to harder drugs later on down the line."
    Actual evidences doesn't bear that out.

    Wow, so someone has actually done a study on the addiction rates of potheads who do smoke tobacco vs potheads who do not smoke tobacco, or did you misread my comment?

  21. Re:"Gateway" theory is still irrelevant on Study Finds Alcohol, Not Marijuana, Is the Biggest Gateway Drug For Teens · · Score: 2

    I would say that tobacco should be listed as a "the gateway drug" due to it being highly addictive and due to it's place in society and how society uses it. Due to it being highly addictive it changes ones psychological makeup prepping one for further addiction.

    Alcohol can be very addicting, but marijuana is only as addictive as masturbation.

    In my experience, pot heads who have never smoked tobacco do not go on to harder drugs, while those who have smoked tobacco have a higher rate of addiction to harder drugs later on down the line.

    My comment was in regards to the developer who complained that an open platform isn't worth developing for due to piracy, why bring up "oh well they don't develop these genre's for PC's"?

    It is completely off-topic and confuses the point since the reasons they don't develop those genre's for PC's has absolutely nothing to do with piracy.

    You're the one trying to get on the lane, why the fuck should I yield for you

    I really don't give a shit if I get in behind or in front of you, just don't actively block me from getting on the highway. If traffic is backed up and you are in the merge lane, then someone will have to let someone in front of them and it might as well be you.

    I'm not one of those assholes who runs up to the end of an on ramp and then tries to get on, I try at the earliest point I can.

    Also, be aware that different lanes are used for different purposes so use the correct lane for what you are doing.

    Don't be an asshole.
