Prime example of why scientists can never be successful in business: as soon as s/he finds a potentially tremendously profitable idea, s/he questions whether certain laws would be broken.

Not really. He's at least 2.5 years old by the time you replied.

It's actually a Chinese game if you are talking about where it came from.

There seems to be something in the word "Go" that confuses people about its origin no matter what the context (3 scenarios in your post). Next experiment: try first-post with "Go" and see if the universe explodes :)

Just make sure you don't mis-pronounce the word "resume" ;-)

In future releases, this single person will be able to select a subset of these drones by clicking and dragging the mouse to form a rectangle over the desired units and assign sub-group numbers by pressing ctrl-n (where n is 1 to 9) on the keyboard. The most equipped drone will also be able to pick up ancient scrolls lost in the valleys of Afghanistan which would enhance its armor and features, such as Insightful +3 for improved vision. By the way, the command center is being built within the U.S. base in South Korea.

It's not like any of the carbon emitting industries gets (or has gotten) any less support at the expense of taxpayers. If we have to pay either way, it is for the very least desirable to have the financiers' interests aligned with our environmental interests.

That's what I thought. Even more ironical when it is a quote by one of the pioneers of sub-atomic physics which led to quantum theory.

One could also argue that he was the first half of European commander of the ISS, and the second and third halves being Mr. De Winne, and therefore De Winne is still the first (whole) European Commander.

Or are we not talking about capsicums?

I am surprised that a post containing the words "SETI", "80 legs", "crawling", "computer", "spider", "farm", and "unused power" does not have the plot of Jodi Foster listening to radio telescope and discovering evil giant mutant cyborg space spiders are trying to invade earth and capture humans as batteries

"...humid climate not very long ago, perhaps just several thousand years ago."

Here's an interesting though of mine: What set backs have we wrought ourselves in the history of mankind, that without them we might have advanced to space age a few thousand years earlier and caught up with Mars when it was still much more habitable?

Midieval dark ages come to mind. Can you think of others? I'm discounting natural phenomena, because we couldn't help it.

why is this post informative exactly??

that bacteria and/or viruses there also evolved separately and most humans are not immune to them? Shouldn't we quarantine the expedition team for a reasonable period of time after they got out?

Judging by the way you spell humour, I'm not surprised you didn't find too much fun in the British division of it. This comment is not derogatory in any way.

The sheer number of intricacies involved that are up for exploits just blow my mind, not to mention the faint awkward idea in the back of my head about uploading a picture of Knuth's reward cheque...

The only boob I'd see tonight will not only be made of origami, but also nano-scale.
