Because, you know, the government has a great organizational structure to handle lots of similar data being sent at them in a constant stream. (visit the DMV)
Additionally, making everyone who invents something, ever, pay a small fee to the government, is a very prohibitive tax.
Actually, they have said that the reason they're releasing the creature editor early, is to populate the game with creatures (that we make) before the game comes out. So non-networked players will have species to play against from the start.
So they're actually being paid by us, to make content for their game. Which is actually kind of the premise of this game (for good or for ill, they count on people making their content for them).
Then that just means we need more people on TOR, to out-flood them. They need a "lot" of computers to determine origin locations, at least 1/2 the network to do it reliably.
Do you realize that he just re-posted something else he had pre-prepared on this subject to hijack the thread as an AC? Because if he was actually who he said he was, he wouldn't need to post anonymously. Also, its obviously a fake sob story, with more pandering to emotions than actual facts or market trends that someone in that position would actually have.
Because, you know, its not as if spammers are from serbia and nigeria, where there are already such tough laws against spamming.
I know I've said this before, but american spammers are the equivalent of the short-bus kids. They think they're doing well, but they are actually being rather ineffective and risking their necks when they don't have to.
If anything, a criminal would carry a bluetooth spoofer. All it has to do is capture the signal of another bluetooth device, and just broadcast it as your own.
Maybe even set it up so you press a button, and it randomly picks another bluetooth signal nearby and starts broadcasting that one. Would entirely defeat the system, and cost maybe 20$ and a bit of time at radioshack.
So, I'm a giant nerd, but I managed to find a LARP group at my local all-girls college. Fun times, and theres more women than men there, quite obviously.
Also, anyone who plays pen+paper games through IRC or skype can tell you that theres actually a good ratio of women playing games in that medium. Mostly housewives, oddly enough.
They are entirely being researched, by other people not mentioned in this article. Some really good breakthroughs in prostetics recently, with sensors that can tell when a muscle is being tensed, even if todesn't do anything, to use that to drive servos in an arm. Gives a reasonbly good way to let someone control a prostetic arm.
And this method has other uses. Such as giving people limbs they never had. Military grant for a soldier with a 3rd arm for a minigun anyone? Anyone at all?
Because, you know, its not as if governments have piles and piles of money they they like to spend on things.
So, you're saying we can't make a pressure dome, when its actually cheaper to make a pressure dome than it is to make a single spacestation module? (It really is just a piece of plastic with some airlock doors that you connect to hallways. It doesn't even need to be particularly tough, just thick plastic.)
I'm too much of a nerd, immediately thinking that "Hey, human flesh doesn't actually have enough nutrients in it that plants need in their current form. They'd have to kill us, then plant themselves in us and get the nutrients from us as we decompose"
1: The dirt "does" have enough nutrients for some variety of plants.
2: Present under a pressure dome, that the plants would have to have anyway.
3 and 4: Are satisfied by having non-acidic, non alkaline, neutral soil PH, which exists on the moon.
5: Topic of the article.
6: Water "is" speculated to be buried in pockets on the moon.
7 and 8: Both present under a pressure dome.
Growing plants on the moon, just as hard as putting up a pressure dome that people living there would need to be under anyway.

Anyone else ever get annoyed at audio or audio/video news? I'm at work, can't listen to those.
Transcripts, much more helpful

Its always easier to moderate than to create the content yourself... (+3 insightful)
The Wii, for all that I love that precious gem of a system, is not going to be powerful enough to do much with this game, I suspect.

The TOR network http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(anonymity_network) has been around forever, and doing something rather similar, without being successfully shut down.
Before turning on the ancient device and getting thrown out of the domed habitat.
I agree, C# is a miracle compaired to those two previous versions.
Yes, I actually code in C# at my job, so I do deal with it 8 hours a day.
I thought their working slogan was:
Windows 7, it's not awful like Vista!
3 million dollars isn't a "big" amount of money for the government. Its close to 0.005$ per person in the US. Thats half-a-penny per person.
The bigger problem is the fact that the military gets over 1/2 our tax money.

Because, a white hat could do it for free, and it'd be cool, but they'd risk being sued into a smoking crater if they told anyone.
By contrast, a black hat, stands to make thousands and thousands of dollars by just exploiting that vulnerability.
Which would you choose? Honestly?

So, an AC sends a link to "his blog", and the link is dead?
You sir, are made of fail.
They're referring to a 10x10x1 grid. So 100 square atoms, and 100 cubic atoms.
Actually, at the moment, RIGHT NOW, there are botnets that DDOS companies in return for extortion money.
No, really.

Dreaming about turning a doorknob, and your cybernetic arm gives you the worst nipple twist of your life. Yeah, I can see that as being a drawback.
