"PD" means Postdata, from Latin "post datum" or "after date", and was a way to add some more information after a written letter, since you could not modify a message written with ink or typewriter. In electronic communications like email this is not necessary, so it's recommended to add a "PS", or "Postscript", "after the written".
PS: how convenient you asking what PD means in your PS... oh, wait!
Well, six months before the Wright brothers flew for the first time, they said that heavier-than-air flight wouldn't be possible for at least another 1,000 years...
... because their parents pay the bill. When they grow up and have to pay the bills themselves, they'll switch to email, twitter or whatever is available for free.
Use your favourite idiom/s with random symbols mixed in. For instance, turn "All that glitters is not gold" into "$all.that_glitters.is_not.gold#".
Works like a charm.
Moon has gravity that is around a sixth of Earth, and the Eagle module managed to lift off with its more than 10K pounds and 2 men on board.
Would it be that hard to bring back a couple kg. of rocks down here?

Just add a timer to your altimeter, so it goes off after X meters OR T hours, whichever happens first.
Hmmm but you didn't say no to the nitric acid pit, huh? :P

Then they could make the profit from somewhere else, e.g. subsidizing them like mobile phones are, with their data plans and all...
I she what you did there.
Thanks for the slashvertisement.
Comparing the Gulf War and Normandy is insulting.
To be fair, you said "about 6 years". That's 4 +/- 2, which seems ok.
In case you were using Carbon-14, of course.

"Looks like it's not just Apple fanboys that are going wild for the iPad: in Australia, virtually every state education department"
Well, maybe those departments are indeed filled with Apple fanboys, specially when the money doesn't come from their pockets.

Will Steve hold it the right way?
I can build a dual core system with 2gigs ram and accelerated graphics for under $150.
Where? In Lala-land? A *decent* dual-core mobo and the CPU would already be around $150. Add another $100 or $150 for a starter graphics card.
Perhaps they did break it, but they prefer to send a message saying "Ok, dudes, it's still ok to use AES-256"...
