They should talk to the guy from Orbiter. It is absolutely incredible what this man has achieved. His (free!) space flight simulator not only does a great job with the physics involved (yes, orbital rendezvous' are really tricky), but also looks incredibly good on screen.
This is a pet peeve of acousticians everywhere.
Sound and vibration are DAMPED.
DAMPENING is for dishtowels.
It's probably based on HiFi magazine terminology:
"Using that technology, you will be soaked with great dewily bass,
humid treble and moist mid-range audio. Be careful though to
use properly luted cables or you will get drowned by the leaked
wet noise."
On the subject of german radio clocks: [...] you have to be within about 2000km of Frankfurt/Main to receive the signal
It's a bit off Frankfurt actually, in Mainflingen, here's google maps' aerial view of the facility.
The signal that's broadcast from there is generated in Braunschweig by the PTB (the german counterpart to the NIST, sort of) using a couple of different technolgy caesium clocks. (wikipedia about the system).
Its range is very impressive, and even intercontinental reception can happen when all conditions (weather etc.) are just right, synchronisations as far as in Canada, the US and the Sahara have been reported. That's very rare though.
However, I hadn't noticed that this was was blocked in ABP until you mentioned it. [...] reading some site tell me I'm stealing money from website owners isn't going to make me uninstall it. Learning that ABP is blocking not only ads but also sites that badmouth ABP, though, might.
You probably are using the EasyList subscription which blocked that page for a short while, mainly because the boycott guy personally insulted rick, the author of EasyList.
rick has by now realised that this wasn't too smart a move and removed that filter again.

So as a Go player, he would've lived for 297 more years?

How is 2008-01-05 unambiguous?
ISO 8601.
Additionally, I'm completely unaware of anyone or anyplace using
YYYY-DD-MM as a date format, and my googleing seems to confirm that.
The first images from the close approach will not be available until 01/05/08
Could we please use unambiguous date formatting?
Something like YYYY-MM-DD?
I guess you actually meant 2008-01-15 with a typo.
What would encasing one of these in a sealed dark glass box at lower latitudes do... or even inside of a hot car for that matter
Nothing. It needs a thermal flow to work, i.e. a hot end and a cold end. Just putting it in a uniformly hot environment is useless.
Note that this of course does also need a temperature gradient to work. This is no magic electricity creating cooling device.

Predict bad things are going to happen unless people do what you say/buy what you sell/give what you want/etc.
Nothing new here.
I hate reading math symbols in anything but latex generated documents
No problem for you then: Wikipedia's math content is exactly that.

We found your position within a 5000Mt precision.
Oh, it does weapons targetting as well? Neat! That's one hell of a nuke though,
what if I only have a couple of kt-class firecrackers left?
You can actually get HD content into your MCE system already.
Yeah, but what about getting it out again?
