Unfortunately getting to L4 or L5 is a bit of a bitch. NASA is having problems getting people back to the the moon, L4 and L5 are several times further.
Shame. I would like to see NASA et al. boost the ISS out to L4 or L5 when it's finished with, instead of splashing it and losing the whole thing.
At least we would have an ad hoc laboratory to see how our existing equipment works beyond the magnetosphere, plus somewhere to go that's easier than the Moon or Mars but may be more useful than low earth orbit.
Virgin's service here (Reading) is a figure-8 cable which consists of coax, which supplies telly + broadband, and four pairs copper, which is used for the phone if you have one. Exactly the same as I had when I was with telewest in Brum.
The parent says peak deceleration. I take that to mean that lesser deceleration could be employed, at the cost of it taking longer. Thus less stress on craft and occupants.
Good luck with using a keel on an ice boat, which is what the parent poster was talking about (the ice boat, not the keel). Seems to me that space can be considered a 3D analog of ice, frictionless (or almost so) in every direction.
The examples you are mentioning are organisers requesting the help of law enforcement agencies, and therefore asked to foot the bill. Doesn't sound like the same at all to me.
Sort of, in reverse.
In this case the agency is forcing the ISPs to comply through law AND is being charged by them for it.
Fixed that for you. Sounds a fair arrangement to me. Like someone above commented, IT costs aren't free, particularly considering the volumes of requests these people seem to be making.

Hey! How come you know all the combinations to my luggage?
Like where? I did a quick search on google and found nothing. I could certainly use a cheap card to capture S-video off my Super VHS camcorder or DTV box.
I'd be willing to pay money for any program that filters out ads (without making too many mistakes). I've always wondered why this doesn't exist for TV.
Nobody said anything about seeing adverts, if that's what you mean by AD. identi.ca doesn't appear to have any, that I can see. If you're already hosting a server of some sort, like probably most of the users here, why not allocate a bit of spare capacity to something you like doing?
I can do much better than that. Honeywell Level 66 mainframes had mailboxes in their CPUs to talk to the I/O processors. This dates back to at least 1975, when I first encountered them. Probably true for Multics mainframes from the '60s too.

I'd rather the EU was spending my tax euros on something... like a new generation of nuclear reactors
And don't you suppose the additional knowledge the LHC might provide would help us build better, more efficient reactors?
Pull it on tighter. I don't think its on tight enough for you.
Oh, you meant the tin foil hat. I thought you meant... never mind.
You had blue balls?
Then I'll go somewhere else. Anyone who makes it that difficult for me to do business with them doesn't get my business.
Given how fucked-up most official software is over here, I doubt that even the manufacturer can read the things properly.

And when those probes got to Mars and threw out a drogue chute, how many gees were they pulling?
Spacecraft designed to decelerate in that fashion will be engineered to withstand the expected braking forces.

That would be why it's called a superconductor.
Bah! It's universes all the way up!
Read the first few lines of the link. Care to enlighten us as to how to make an X with a single stroke?
I have had no problem writing Xs in a single stroke on my Palm for at least the last 7 years.
And who's just proved that they don't understand the meaning of the word 'grok'?
Electrostatic repulsion?

Europe.
MythTV needs constant maintenance and it's much less user-friendly than other TV products out there.
Initial installation? Yes.
Upgrade if you want to use new features? Yes.
Constant maintenance? No.
It's only less user-friendly if you set it up that way. There are schemes which make it very easy to use.
Try finding out the difference between a photon and a proton. Neither of which are waves.

Already available, it's called Mythtv.
or the previous tennant left the light on and you'll be hit with a 3000 year old electricity bill.
How did you know Dr. Who had been there?
I can't believe I just read a post advocating putting a submarine into orbit.
Oh, yeah, this is slashdot...
