...for harassment?

Honestly, since this is a "professional" network, maybe there should be a way to note someone's lack of professionalism?

would have saved the rocket.

The Great Panic.

If the device has to go through your own network, can't you just redirect the upload address to one of your own choosing?

Do we need to site recent history? We're at the level of corporatism that if they should fail, they call on the government to bail them out.

We're not at the point that the state is simply a representative of the corporations, but it certainly feels like it sometimes.

I was about to write that Jenny McCarthy's rantings, while misguided, wrong and (yes) dangerous, still fall under free speech. Those that follow her lead are nominating their children for the Darwin award.

Upon reviewing the limits to the Freedom of Speech, I've found that her rhetoric can fall outside of free speech as outlined by Mill's harm principle. If it can be proven that her rhetoric is a danger to public safety, maybe she'll shut up.

Actually, in this case it's an oligopoly.

The original commenter is correct. Reducing the number of competitors by one brings ATT one step closer to being a monopoly.

...or it mutates, spreads to humans and the CDC hits the panic button.

Even if that doesn't happen. When that food source goes bust, many people expecting it will find themselves without for the season.

What would a business or government look like if it were more like a wiki. One constraint being that only citizens or employees would be able to contribute. Either would be an interesting experiment to conduct.

I would amend that human beings simply don't want to think and make up their own minds about something. As an example, when I ask my wife what she wants for dinner, she will immediately turn the question back to me. Being immature (and not wanting to decide on what to eat), I give her the same treatment.

I have a theory that if a person had the option to let someone else make up their minds for them on every aspect of their lives (with the promise that their best interest and well being were in mind), they would give up their freedom.

I haven't counted the number of passwords I've dedicated to memory in a while. I'm better off typing the username and letting muscle memory kick in for the password. This method works pretty well unless I'm trying to consciously think of the password.

Wouldn't the smell also repel pollinators as well?

This sounds cool. But I wonder if it would backfire.

Frankly, it's gotten dumb and narrow. There's nothing on the moon that *matters.*

How about making long-term livable space environments (i.e. containing viable organic ecologies) and not some dimwitted ground-dependent space station? How about making economically viable solar power in near earth orbit and selling it at a profit? How about setting up a few thousand square miles of adjustable mirrors to reversibly control global temperature?

Uses for space like these *matter*. F*** the moon. F*** all that grandstanding political BS.
