No, this was posted a while ago. The plan then was immediately axed, following a widespread disapproval. Now they're bringing it back to life.

Note that they is the company that originally designed the idea for the DoD; the government has no hand in it this time.

yeah, the people at DARPA are idiots. the best and the brightest this country has to offer should instead ask you what to do. yep. sounds good. maybe they should just ask you if something would work. more technological advances have come from there than anywhere else in recent memory. but, since you think it's stupid, i'm sure they'll give it up.

Hmm, am I the only one who sees how morally wrong this is??? Making money on somebody's death? Bidding on acts of terror that can take away lives of hundreds? Why won't go tell the families of 3,000 who died on 9/11 that you think this is a "great idea". I'm sure they'll understand. Dumba$$.

reading comprehension is a good thing. put down your comic book and actually read about your topic. you'll be surprised at what you might learn. or not, because judging from your posts, learning may not be an option.

Take a look at the website...basically it says they are launching their 'market' but all it is is an expensive survey-based marketing tool that has nothing to do with terrorism.
