On the up side, you were able to avoid the unskippable FBI warnings and previews. And depending on your choice of movie, the end results may have been more entertaining as well.

Perhaps translucent is more accurate. Everything they show us is distorted.

If they could clone and replace "certain" organs with, oh, say, perhaps, LARGER versions, they could pay for all future research with the proceeds of this technique.

Of course *I* don't need this, but I'm sure *others* might...

I hope developing nukes or soft drinks aren't examples of the high points of life.

Maybe having the capability to develop nukes, but choosing not to is.

I'm not really sure what finding life on Mars will do for us though. It will show us that life on another planet is possible (something I personally believe already), but other than that knowledge, what will we gain from it? It won't help solve our current environmental, economic of political problems, will it?

The harsh conditions on Mars aren't suitable for humans, so there's no hope of living there anytime soon. Knowledge for the sake of knowing is great, but what will this information help us achieve?

Perhaps I'm not seeing the big picture. Can anyone enlighten me?

I've been doing a half-assed job for years.

Nope. I hope they don't mean they're banning the Blood and Chrome web series that's coming out soon.

:-D

Only one target OS. Is it fair to say that the US android arsenal is "fragmented"?

And extend this to the "other" people, AKA corporations that do this. Apple, Coke, Microsoft...the list goes on. If you don't like the loopholes, then close them. But start from a position of honesty and integrity before criticizing others.
