There's an industry that exploits children in order to sell to a market of people who want to view child porn. American helicopters are not shooting kids in Iraq with the goal of selling the video of it for profit. If they were regularly doing so, then you can bet viewing videos of shooting kids in Iraq would also be illegal.

Back during the industrial revolution, 80 hour work weeks and child labor were the norm. All those children lost their jobs permanently, and adults had their hours cut in half. How horribly it would be if our hours were cut further and we were forced to enjoy ourselves!

Where did anybody generalize to make any sort of claim that many or most panhandlers are wealthy?

People who lived in mud huts or worse were responsible for most of the megafauna extinctions, not technology. Humans who can't see or don't consider the consequences of their actions are destructive with or without advanced tech.

If most domain owners were technical people, godaddy wouldn't exist.

Dormant doesn't have to mean something that will awake, but sure there's probably another word that's less open to misinterpretation. The moon isn't exactly an inert rock on the inside though, it still has magma: http://www.universetoday.com/9...

Odd that anyone hasn't heard since it's far from news, but "moon volcanoes" is easily googled for thousands of reference to extinct volcanoes known to be active until at least a billion years ago. Discussions of a couple of specific types of them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L... and http://www.space.com/12419-moo...

That's Will. Wil Wheaton, on the other hand, is just a geek and longtime /.er who loves games and has the connections and wealth to film it.

It's a known fact that the moon once had a lot of volcanic activity. Remaining volcanos are dormant, but lava tubes still exist.

The ISS orbits the Earth every 90 minutes. The moon has a two week long night. Storing power through the latter is a much bigger issue.

If you actually want to reduce emissions, it'd be many times more effective to use that money to give everyone free bus passes. And that way you'd actually be helping the poor instead of the wealthy!

We don't have any rovers on Mars equipped to test for life.

In 1992 my 386 DX came with DOS 5.1, not Windows. I didn't have Windows until 1995. Probably most people didn't, just enthusiasts and wealthier people.

You wanna know a really cool feature of credit cards? If you get mugged after you leave the store, you don't lose any of your money when you cancel the card and dispute any transactions.

If you call the level 1 multiverse from the article the universe, which seems reasonable if's all subject to the same physical laws and it's theoretically possible for the universes to expand into each other, the belief appears to be that it's infinite because the physics suggests no reason big bangs wouldn't happen in infinite places.
