Uploading your brain is NOT immortality
Uploading your brain just makes a copy. You still die in your rotting corpse.,
PS. wtf has theology hocus pocus got to do with science or immortality
Playing games all day. Whoa that's soo evil. How dare they...
Like we didn't do THE EXACT SAME THING when we were kids (C64, Atari, Spectrum, Amiga, PC etc etc).
Which is how we all ended up here on Slashdot !
Erm... Facebook, Apple, Google anybody ? How did they come about if it wasn't for a bunch of sun shy kids messing with tech..
This is just racist b.s. disguised at facts
Yes, Stop eating meat and our population can keep doing whatever else it likes.
How ?
Show young children a slaughterhouse AND a slaughter. Let them pet the cow first, then watch it murdered and dismembered
JOB DONE
They are selling US intelligence to Foreign govs

I was watching this great documentary yesterday:-
(Megafactories Lego) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxqhi-EWYEk&feature=player_embedded#!
and it occurred to me that Lego is a very scalable and flexible model for Nanotech... with each element reusable.
There was a factoid, that just eight standard bricks can be reconfigure in millions of different ways...
More to the point. If life started here, why are there not multiple parallel trees of life ? ie. No evidence of other extinct geneses, and no new geneses ?
100% agree !!! Or failing that how about sit it in a LAGRANGE POINT, requiring next to NO FUEL.
Where it could be a half way point to the moon and anywhere else. Negating having to reach escape velocity.
Then start constructing probes up there, then small ships.
Any and all complaints about feasibility would still be an issue with whatever ship / base they come up with...
Forget this minor improvement of losing optical to digital i/o's. Doesn't this mean optical Cpu's ? Which I'm sure would be magnitudes faster (cooler?).
How the F%$^# did it come to $300k in COSTS ??? It was a paid for show ??? ie. 2500 people paid to see him as well ($20/ticket I would guess puts that at $50k already just to put the show on, surely his costs were covered before any money came in from the video....)
Wrong. Read this:- (PBS) http://www.pbs.org/kcet/wiredscience/story/95-space_junkyard.html
"All this space detritus ended up here courtesy of a federal rule that required government contractors to return all their built hardware - or sell it for scrap. So Norton Sales made discarded space gear the centerpiece of its business. Their customers used to be mostly souvenir hunters and set decorators for science-fiction movies. But now, rocket scientists and engineers are calling, looking for pieces of the intricate rocket plumbing that haven't been made in four decades.
These were the kind of parts that went into the mighty Saturn Five rockets that took men to the moon from the 1960s to the early 1970s. Now, as the United States gears up for a new set of missions to the moon and beyond, NASA is discovering that it has forgotten much about how those original rockets were built. Many of the engineers and contractors who developed the incredible number of pieces of machinery that went into those rockets aren't around anymore. And in many cases, the companies they worked for have changed hands or gone out of business, taking their blueprints and records with them.
NASA engineers and technicians are now busily digging up old rocket parts, cleaning them up and reverse-engineering them to figure out how they worked. So the path back to the moon might just go through Norton Sales' salvage yard.."
NASA has lost ALL of it's Saturn V knowledge. The scientist have died, the documents have rotten and been lost. The parts were SOLD AS SCRAP. NASA is currently trying to buy up all the lost parts from scrap dealers. All this old knowledge is for the 'new' space program. Yes, we are indeed regressing.

Controlling Monkey Brains and Behavior With Light...
Isn't that called FOX NEWS ?
Or even easier, the US gov lets Israel gov control US drones and vast army in Mid-East with it's lobby $$$
... seriously, all the main threads here are dipshit Republicans trying to blame Democrats.
There is another name for PTSD.

C'mon really... STAR WARS !!! Yah nice one George, great title for a kids film! STOP WARS !!!!!!!!!!!!
This just proves how dumb people are.
I wish there was a Darwinian award for stupidity and subsequent removal from the gene pool.
I like it too ! Much cooler than iOS. Make it work with Kinetic !!!

Yeah, this idea already exists as an anime:

How about sticking an Ion jet on the payload only ? BooYah Focus ground based Frickin' Lasers ?
