I would like them to try the re-entry survival test. I could see humans building big hollow concrete bullets that we could shoot at Mars, would survive re-entry, but shatter when hitting the ground and spread around some hearty plant life.

We could just sit back and shoot these things at mars and pelt it with different plants to see if anything takes. I am guessing we would want to aim for the areas that border the north and south poles, or craters with shade that might have a chance to hold water for more than a few seconds so the plants could get a drink.

The facebook master password was "Chuck Norris"...what was google's ...Steven Seagal?

What if they were just goofy looking people? Gheez....

So they will just rent satellite phones for like $10 a day under a false name and stolen CC.

IT does not matter if you steal 1 diamond from a rich diamond store, you are still a thief.

You have to manage the delicate task of having your secretary take the specs from the customers and give it to the engineers....you have to be a people person, so dot jump to any conclusions.

Outlook 2007 is difficult at first...

If only they could sell adds at critical points of shows, you know, when they have your undivided attention.

Than a newspaper editor not running political stories about things he or she doesn't like. Not ethical, but also not illegal. That's the reason why I normally look for unpaid third party review sites for hardware or software, or at least someone in the industry that can recommend something they have used personally.

The screws just look like the screws you need use for hard drives. Wood screws are normally galvanized or black in color. As for the underside connection points, who knows how things are held together on the inside...or they faked it. Pics of the inside or its not a fake I say.

There was a story of a LNG (Liquid Natural Gas)facility that lost approval for using this method to do cooling for a facility (or something in the LNG process) with Gulf coast seawater. The problem is that all the baby fish and other sea life die in the system. They were worried about the local shrimp and fishing industry getting wiped out. They made them use a closed loop system to solve this problem.

Also that is why almost every Navy War Ship is developed to be stealthy. The missiles can hit you if they cant see you.

I think warfare might take a step back to good old fashioned dumb bombs, cannons, and bullets as people figure out how to neutralize GPS and radar munitions.

Your assuming mile wide lanes. Lets assume 2 lane roads. Normal 12' wide lanes means 48' of width.
5280'long X 48' wide = 253,440sq feet per mile
253,440sqfeet per mile X $43 = $10,897,920 per mile
$10,897,920 per mile X 25,000 miles =
$272,448,000,000.

So $273 billion or so for nationwide energy independence would be pretty cheap if you ask me.
I cant keep my kids eyeglasses from getting scratched up every six months, so im not sure how they will keep the clear covering scratch free...if they cant then that efficiency goes way down I bet.

We live in amazing times. I cant imagine what we will be able to do in 100-200 years time. I hope we start to come together as a species and explore this amazing galaxy.
