The 21st Century Version of Walt Disney’s Frozen Head

So I’m going through all my email after vacation (as anyone who tried to email me knows, I like to at least partly unplug during vacations), and ran across a doozy.

Apparently we now have an ability to “Leave Your Mark. Save Humanity”, through “Operation Immortality”. Basically it’s an opportunity to upload and store a sequence of your DNA and shoot it off into the stars (or at least the International Space Station). The person who emailed me (who will remain anonymous), was inviting one of my co-workers to be included in this chance to send a “message to the universe”.

So if, say, we blow ourselves to pieces because we can’t agree on which god is the right one, then some future race of super beings is going to find us, and clone us from this stored DNA.

Right. Let’s imagine all the things that have to go right for this to happen after we destroy the earth.

1: Aliens have to find the DNA
2: They will have to have some sort of “reader” that will read whatever the DNA sequence is stored on (the person emailing me wanted the DNA delivered on a USB stick – what if the aliens opted for the “Firewire” fork instead?).
3: The aliens will need to be dumb enough to clone back a race that managed to obliterate itself because it couldn’t agree to disagree.

Yup, it’s the 21st century version of cryogenics. Now I know the real business model for 23 and me!

Hola a todos, en mi primer post me gustaría compartir algo con vosotros, Ya sabéis que para buscar y descargar música en internet, tenemos muy pocas opciones, generalmente utilizamos el emule o el ares, pero yo personalmente encuentro bastante frustrante bajarme una canción y que no sea la que busco, porque pierdo bastante tiempo encontrando material de calidad.

Una amiga me recomendó utilizar Altavz como mi buscador de música, y la verdad es una gozada.

Además de poder escuchar la canción, descargarla o agregarla a tus listas preferidas puedes encontrar a otros usuarios y compartir tu música con ellos.

Hace mucho que no utilizo emule, sino este buscador de música.

Hi everyone

My wife and I have our seventh anniversary coming up and I typically get her expensive jewelry. Unfortunately I recently lost my job and I haven’t let my wife know yet. I was thinking of buying her something from a Replica Handbags shop but worry that it might be morally wrong?

What do you folks think? Please post honest comments.

Hello people,

I hope this is the right place to post this – if not I apologize!

Anyway, I am new around here but I’ve been a web developer for over two years. I just finished a new design for my on line games website and I’d really like to get some feedback on it from you guys.
Both positive and negative reviews will be welcome so be honest please.
I put long hours in the flash header – so specific comments on it would be fantastic (which character do you like best?)

Thank you!

You make a good point to a stupid suggestion. I wonder if they’ll actually attempt that.

Also, I pity you; all other posts are ads for merchandise.

Eh? I don’t think I would want my DNA blasted into space. Not that I fear aliens would come along and clone me… it just sounds … odd.
