What they should do is encase the brain in amber, as the Jurassic Park documentary showed that this will allow bringing back to life even if it's hundreds of millions of years in the future.

No one is saying there shouldn't be research into this. That doesn't mean you should accept money from desperate people when you know they will never be brought back to life.

It's like discussing "love" where to one person it means the feeling of communal happiness at a music concert, and to someone else fucking a weasel.

We are stardust, we are golden, something something something about a garden.

Because there are cynical con men who are prepared to accept it.

The only real chance of resurrecting the dead is to invent time travel, and go back to a time before they die, then use your super-magic science to cure their diseases.

It's just an engineering problem, right?

That's what makes this disgusting rather than merely depressing. It's on the same level as people claiming to be mediums contacting the recently departed: pure scum.

If you aren't interested in maximising shareholder value, you should not have (external) shareholders. There is nothing that forces a company to become a publicly traded one.

And the Moon and Mars have only the last of these.

The company that gets the first Moon base will have a captive workforce and no pesky government interference. It will be a libertarian's paradise. Plus, they get to lob rocks at the Earth if anyone argues with them.

I'm not sure, but I think someone wrote a book about this.

You can get videos of people being beheaded, but not of them having sex.

What a world.

So, let's be clear about this, you think the guy's wrong?

Yes, that's pretty much an instant classic.

I look forward eagerly to seeing it again soon.

I'm assuming Netscape Navigator 4.

My only criticism is that Microsoft don't make you pay for it, which seems an almost unbelievable oversight on their part.
