You seem to imply that abandoning space exploration for a few decades would be a bad thing.

You are just paranoid. Precious tools like spies, nukes, or torture are only used when the National Security or large sums of money are involved.
And since Israel is not stupid enough to give up a valuable asset for a simple libel investigation, it's was really up to Google to spill the beans on the guy.
You can even have Amazon convert them to its special format for free, email the doc back to you... Like it's so damn hard for them to release a generic txt or pdf reader, right?
What's with these companies and "special" lockins? Why do they crave control over items they sell so much?

Probably not the very old equipment. But yes, you can replace the old PSU with the newer high efficiency one for around $70. You can also buy a larger heatsink for fanless operation.
I'd try a different angle for your story, something where you work three jobs to pay for your kids' psychiatric counselling after they walked in on your wife's gangbang with a donkey. Also remember to mention you selling a kidney to help save her after she snorted some rotenone with her cocaine. Or how you pleaded with her not to break up the marriage for the sake of your kids.
Because the way it reads right now, you pass of as an angry, bitter, impotent man who is abusive, shallow, abrazive, and a sore loser.
What, you mean things like animals being forewarned of the coming earthquakes, dogs hearing ultrasound, snakes seeing in infrared, or blind bats able to catch insects in flight? Of course, every educated gentleman knows none of the above is true.
Oh, and there are no such things as intelligent females or wireless telegraphs!
You are comparing apples to oranges (or hair color to bust size)
Democracy is a political system, communism is an economic system.
It is perfectly possible for the two to coexist, just like it's possible for a country (e.g. China) to be both a brutal dictatorship (politically) and a free market capitalist economy (economically) at the same time.
Because our government gets a lot of their tax revenue from copyrighted works. Even more importantly, foreign trade depends heavily on enforcable copyrights, patents, and such. The government gets a fat tax kickback any time the copyright/IP things get sold at a profit, which includes all sorts of things from movies and media, books, AIDS drugs, computers and consumer electronics, CD-RWs, F-16 warplanes and other weapons, even.
No government is going to give up such a revenue stream since you can see that for them, copyrights indeed mean tax dollars.

It's not easier, it's just less likely to provoke an all-out nuke exchange.
Actually, we have. The Korean war is still (legally) going on.
So what's the problem?
The scientists are more useful elsewhere AND less of our tax money is spent on NASA/JPL. It's a win-win situation in my book.
Could be the same reason RIAA want $140,000/song.
Greed.
Are you sure he would fail? Perhaps he'd be exactly the kind of person they are looking for, hmm?

Come to think of it, I'd say fuck Mars.
Really? Long time ago, my university used to have a strict policy about electronic transmission of things like student grades or research data...
So I wonder why these days any American Uni would want their intellecual property transmitted over google.cn routers?
The whole country going down the tubes, looks like.

More users means more revenue for them. You still gotta pay for access (on their terms), so why wouldn't they want to aprove as many as possible?
Most likely this testing will be very lax, just enough to appease FCC.
What's the current number, by the way? Last I recall it was about USD 1 billion per week for Iraq.
Grad students that do research get a "free ride" on tuition from the uni in most cases, and even a small stipend.
Funny thing, doesn't this ASCII figure remind anyone of the Helios AI (post-merger)?

Relax, they are probably aiming for the iPhone early adopter market. Check back in two weeks when the price drops some $200.

They got both Female AND male ones!

It's Sweden. They don't have "rough parts" in their towns.
But nobody will guess that the search string "jennifer lopez" is my actual password. I am still safe for now.
Spears is not my talantless lazy slut. And in any case, that wouldn't be my problem.

I'd hit it.
On a separate note, for several months they've been driving one of the rovers in reverse, with the left blinker on.

I kind of wish their Excel could do at least 200!
Or at least that it would do "=(10.1)-10-0.1" properly
