Arctic simulation isn't that far off. Any martian base would need to be near a water supply, which are most accessible at the poles. Only problem is on Mars, Arctic Winter is 11 months instead of 6.
Actually, my experience at CC wasn't that the staff was unfriendly -- it was that there were too many who were clueless.
Shortly after the Wii Fit came out, I was trying all the local electronics stores to find one. I asked a sales rep if any were in stock, and he spent 20 minutes looking at the yoga mat accessory kit and demo DVD, despite me telling him repeatedly that those were *not* the Wii fit.
For the most part, I'd say the staff was always helpful, and they left you alone if you said you didn't need help, and were fairly quick to show up if you did need help. Granted this is probably due to culture set by the individual store manager, and I only ever went to one CC.
Also from Wikipedia:
Several researchers claim to have detected methane in the Martian atmosphere with a concentration of about 10 ppb by volume.[54][55] Since methane is an unstable gas that is broken down by ultraviolet radiation, typically lasting about 340 years in the Martian atmosphere,[56] its presence would indicate a current or recent source of the gas on the planet. Volcanic activity, cometary impacts, and the presence of methanogenic microbial life forms are among possible sources. It was recently pointed out that methane could also be produced by a non-biological process called serpentinization[b] involving water, carbon dioxide, and the mineral olivine, which is known to be common on Mars.[57]
Depends on where the roll sits in relation to the toilet. If the roll is fairly high above the toilet (say chair-rail height), then under. But it the roll sits low (about mid-thigh level), then over.
If you can play drums in RB2 with the 3-cymbal kit on Hard (not even Expert), you can play well enough on a real kit to have fun with friends in a jam session and not sound stupid.
The real trick is learning when "Yellow/Blue/Green" means Hi-Hat/Ride/Crash cymbal versus high/low/floor tom, and when "Red+Yellow" mean flam on snare and not Hi-Hat+Snare.
All-in-all, you can go into the freestyle training in RB2 and just play drums along with any recording you like (But again, the cymbal expansion kit is a must).
The area in question is on the top side of an engine housing. If the skin burns away, the rest of the spacecraft (most importantly crew cabin and control surfaces) are still intact. Losing an engine is non-critical on re-entry, as it glides in unpowered. Also the position, being on top, isn't exposed to as much heat, so
6 months didn't come from any article. I apologize. Its just an educated guess I made, and a bit hopefully optimistic at that. NASA's semi-official quote was "schedule-busting." They hope to have three more launches this year, which means one about every two months, so with three shuttles, it would take at least 5 months for this problem to be fixed in order to be "schedule-busting." (plus 1-2 for normal processing puts you into next year.)
The repair will be to a section that is not critical for re-entry. This repair is prevent 6 months of repairs on the engine, not prevent catastrophic failure upon re-entry.
What idiot designed this system? Seriously. If this article is to be believed, then there were serious screw-ups at the very initial planning stages.
It shouldn't matter if there's 1 set of panels, or eight. The main trunk for the ISS should always operate at a constant voltage; the extra panels should only increase the available amperage.
If anything, extra panels should equal more stability, since it would be less likely to suffer a voltage drop when an appliance turns on.
Further, there should be regulators/surge protectors at the initial power coupling, in between modules, at the computers' power hookup, and within the computers' power supply.
Lastly, why the hell did they not account for this after the first spike?
State means Country in more places than it means subnational entity.
Exceptions to the rule include the US, Australia(The State of Western Australia), and Mexico(The State of Chihuahua), but again, these are the exceptions. Even then, the US has the "State Department" and the "Secretary of State", where State means Nation(al), and has nothing to do with individual states.
Your statement is equivalent to a Russian saying "It is not the Middle Eastern Federation. The Middle East is not a country. All of the 'Republics' listed are individual countries."

England is also a country, but not a nation.
Jag bombs with all the other engineers. The countdown in the bar was quite funny.

Wait, when did we start talking about Kmart?
The order, from highest energy to lowest energy:
gamma
x-ray
uv
visible
ir
microwave
radio
Uhhhh...radio waves propagate at the speed of light too, being made out of light and all.
However, higher-energy light has a higher frequency. Higher frequency = higher bandwidth. (and, not-so-coincidentally, higher power consumption)

Actually a saddle-shaped universe isn't that far out there.

Sometimes, not even probable cause is required to search in public. Reasonable suspicion can be enough for a stop and search.
Its not a matter of saving in .doc format. Its often more a matter of trying to get Writer to play nice with SharePoint or other misc. shit.

But then you have gamma radiation as an emission...
I believe you are correct. From what I've read, OpenBSD is tops when it comes to security. I haven't tested this in practice, though.
Yes, actually having an engine fall out would create considerable yaw effects.

Wow. Its so good to that music, art, and literature are all due to civilization's decline.
Also, the combined mass is not sufficient to clear its orbit. (Otherwise it would have done so already.)

It also took heavily subsidized labor during a period of very high unemployment.
