Torture is OK in Iran.

Another thing which I have not seen discussed is the mutation of the biota that humans carry into outer space.

We put these microbes in zero gravity, far higher background cosmic radiatio & occassional Solar storm radiation.

It will not surprise me that they mutate as a result and I certainly don't have an idea how fast or what those mutations might do.

Well, dinosaurs did die out.

Where the biggest nuts rise to the top.

What? To who? When?

And which OS is designed in a more secure way to protect users?

As an example, what OS has the supermajority of banking malware?

We need to answer all the questions. Consumers really SHOULD know.

You can get "too smart" and they become difficult to use physically & mentally.

For over 20 years it has been discussed that it might be possible to get the genes into your lawn's Bermuda grass.

Then your gardener could really rake in the grass for real dough.

Not the least of which are illegal drugs and they wind up on the fingertips!

"macabre, consumer paradise" or monitored controlled populace?

Though not as colorful, you can now imagine what it was like for a pilot and copilot doing raids in WWII. Scaaaary!

Design discussions proceed fast and with dozens of suggestions. Post-it notes and yellow pads are extremely quick and if a partner wants a copy of your notes, a cellphone camera shot will do it pronto.

Yeah as they repeat the upright guy with the Yeti suit walking through the forrest up in Washington for the 5000 th time.

Solar/UV radiation on floating plastic degrades the polymers rather quickly.

Then the other side of the equation is critters adhere to plastic and their weight eventually causes the plastic to sink. You see wood in the ocean just covered with masses of barnacles, which would sink a small piece of plastic quickly.

Most plastics are also not very reactive in the quick digestion systems of fish, so I suspect that much of the small particles simply pass through quickly with no effect on the fish.

A lot of bogus arguements are "floating around" out there.

Unaccountable special action teams is starting to sound an awful lot like the SS & Stassi in Germany.

And guess who is inciting government entities to do extra legal actions by doing it himself from "on high?"

The concept of using the equivalent of ski lift pods above ground between light poles has always made a lot of sense to me.

I've wondered why downtown city planners haven't implemented this type of transit as it could potentially alleviate all sorts of congestion for relatively "long walks" people have to make in dense areas.
