Check out the HBO series From the Earth to the Moon. My favorite episode is the one that's told from the perspective of the boss engineer at Grumman when they were designing the LEM.
I think it would be more interesting to have an event where you only have to be "human muscle powered". Then let them use whatever prosthetics, mechanisms (e.g. bicycles), steroids, etc. that you want. First over the finish line wins.
Well, that's easy. Just give me a machine gun and I'll walk to the damn finish line.
A not-guilty verdict requires all members of the jury to have reasonable doubt. If only some do, and they can't convince the others, then you get a hung-jury mistrial.
I didn't see the point of LinkedIn for quite some time (nor any other social networking site) and so I set up a joke profile as a Latex Salesman from Vandelay Industries.
But recently I decided to give it a serious chance and put my real work experience on there and started adding old colleagues from previous jobs. It's been very helpful in keeping track of people and networking.
You need the Pretentious Geek/English translator. Here, let me help:
Pretentious, yes, but not Geek. Geeks strive for well-defined, unambiguous terms, rational organization of subject matter, and language that accomplishes exactly as much as is necessary, and no more. Geek writing is efficient.
The OP's analysis is excellent, but frought with writing that goes beyond pretentious. It's just bad. Disorganized, rambling, semi-coherent and full of useless jumbles of letters that communicate nothing.

Soy milk? I thought you were against torture.
After Ring TFA, I still have no idea what this Tokeneer thing does. Anybody have some more details?
Also, Ada is neat.
Go Tigers! /dropout
Get a job, you filthy hippy.
So now that SourceForge has upgraded Slashdot's fancy-pants hardware, when are they actually going to make sourceforge.net not suck so much?
Just kidding. I love you guys.
But seriously, sourceforge.net sucks balls.

How about a clock?

(This is also how I plan to win the biathlon.)
Only the four DVD movies (chopped up into episode form) have been bought by Comedy Central. If they do well then they may order another season.
Interestingly, they only bought the cable rights. The broadcast rights could still be bought by Fox.
There are high-voltage DC transmission lines in the US. One of the earliest ones was built in California and carries something like 3000 megawatts.
I also feel compelled to point out that all of New York's electric trains and subways still run on DC third rails. (Between 600 and 750 volts.)
Oops, that probably won't work. My power went out last night and my NAT got all hosed. I don't have time to fix it right now. My bad.
Here ya go. That's the PPC version -- I didn't download the Intel version so I'm not gonna seed it.
The nanoparticles improve efficiency by 60% in the ultraviolet spectrum. The visible light spectrum is only nominally affected.
It's still pretty cool, though.
Arrooooooo?
Not to mention solid-state blue lasers.
That wasn't Elvira, it was Booberella.
Now hang your head in shame.
The straight dope on the Fed.
What does Falcon do that the InnoDB engine doesn't currently do? The description seems rather vague.
The ten dollars you would have earned could be exchanged for many chocolate bars.

Truedat.

HOA's are not government bodies in any case that I know of.
They do usually suck balls, though.
My broadband-over-tin-cans-and-string works pretty well.
The average congressional district has roughly 650,000 people.
