As the first comment almost suggests, however, professional PR people could just as easily create a semi-anonymous username and edit away without revealing anything about their role as a lobbyist or their non-neutral biases.
I think PR pros should be encouraged to be transparent -- if only to make it easier to identify and re-edit their contributions after they've made them.
okay, "rebuilt" is a bit more extreme than "inspected and refurbished" -- but if anyone has the cost comparisons for the refurbish process versus building a new Soyuz system (or an expendable rocket), it'd be interesting to see how much the shuttle's refurbs could have reallocated to build expendable launch systems.
Hmm. The shuttle program was pretty cool, but other than showing off that it could be useful in satellite repairwork (eg. the Hubble repair missions) -- I'm not sure what the shuttle program did that a non-reusable rocket system couldn't have done. (And the shuttle wasn't really that reusable since it needed to have its entire heat shield rebuilt after every mission!)
The other alternative is that 3rd party developers can use the Netflix API to create an app that will maintain your queue "outside of Netflix" and then just add movies to your Netflix queue whenever the app is allowed to -- so that humans don't have to worry about these limiting restrictions and just have apps that keep track of these things.....
advertisers probably don't care so much about getting free advertising... but I'd guess that certain ads (like ones that have specific music licenses) make ad agencies care about piracy..?
Re: NASA has been trying to crowdsource space experiments for DECADES...
I remember NASA asking for project ideas in high school... I think it would be really cool if NASA kept all the submissions somewhere -- not only so that they didn't get the same experiments submitted every year, but also so that future students could build off the shoulders of [giants?] other teenagers....
Re: Re: Re: Not really the same Atari ats it was in the 80's
Except... Atari itself was hit with patent infringement lawsuits for Pong at the very beginning, so Atari isn't exactly a stranger to copying game ideas.
I sorta wonder how much cheaper it would be to create a voyager-clone with today's technology... Launching satellites hasn't gotten much cheaper over the years.
Super-intelligent robots in movies never seem to figure out that they can probably just leave humans and the planet Earth behind fairly easily, instead of trying to waste their energy destroying us...
Certifications that actually mean something definitely could get interesting... but it might take quite some time before anyone really accepts an "online degree" as a worthwhile achievement... it's not like unlocking a level in a MMORPG or something. :P
It's all about the escape pods that can jettison human passengers and still land safely... and it'll be cool when NASA tries it out on a protocol droid and his counterpart R2 first... :P
We'll just wait until our currency's value has inflated 10x and then announce a reverse-split so that the penny is worth as much as a dime used to be... then the penny will be forever relevant. :P
I think politicians have mentally calculated the value of "free advertising" and have deemed it to be far less reliable than "traditional advertising"....
if you were going to bet your career on "free advertising" vs the regular kind, which would you pick?

And I'm going to have to try to find some videos of schools of fish to see if fish exhibit the same 2D-plane behavior you describe...
