The GIMP wiki has a full page on building GIMP using MinGW here.
Not something that is worthy of an Ask Slashdot in my opinion, but we're here to help I guess. Also, check out the #gimp channel on irc.gimp.org for some help.
While I am morally opposed to cloning human beings, I see no real problem with experimenting with other sorts of animals. Even the Bible gives man the rights over the animals (Genesis 1:26). So, if it is limited to animals, then we can in essence "practice" on them and then use some of the benefits from the research.
Interesting to note also that Bush is pushing for complete ban, while the rest of the world seems to not care. Seems like the US isn't a bunch of heathens after all.
If we leave space up to individuals it is more of a race than it ever was before. Take into account that a single person could thereby go to Mars, and since he got there first, could "claim" the planet on his own. Thus, they could set up a government, start charging people to go there and exploit its resources as a private enterprise. In this sense, there is a seemingly unlimited supply of resources.
The only problem is controlling the planet, but sci-fi has been working on that problem for a long time...;-)
