I'm not understanding the flippant comments here. It certainly seems significant that children were receiving at least 600 *times* the radiation guidelines.
I took a copy of the older Anarchist Cookbook to PAX, shortly after the airing of Leverage in which Wil Wheaton played the hacker Chaos.... and asked him to sign it as such. He thought for a moment, then handed this back. Too meta?:)
This is why the laser is split, and sent down two perpendicular paths. Sure, a wave might stretch the spacetime of the X axis... but that same stretching wouldn't effect a similar increase in the return time of the Y axis. This very stretching of the measuring device itself against one axis(thus modifying the round-trip time of the split laser as compared to a perpendicular path) is the very thing that they are measuring.
Your pet theory, and their experiment, match.:)

I highly recommend the Microsoft Ergonomic 4000. Everything that started going wrong with keyboards has been overturned with this model. I know I sound like a shill, but I bought two myself for both home and for work. Inverted T arrows, 3x2 home keys, number pad, and media buttons. Throw in the fact that they finally support tilting it *forward* (think of your piano teacher telling you to have a ball in the palm of your hand... tilting the keyboard so that the hands rest naturally is a good thing), and it's been heaven. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=043
The solution, of course, is more speed! With a mass driver, and 1000+ Gs acceleration, you too can zip right through that hazardous Van Allen belt in record time!
Uh, it looks nicer than a huge faraday cage in your concert hall?

I read a PDF on the internet (can't find it now) that contained pictures of non-Newtonian-enhanced fabrics exposed to varying forces by sharp and dull metal spikes. The highest-forced test had some penetration... but ended up bending their spike!
I suffer from this as well. When I first met my wife-to-be in an office setting, I had to keep referring to the name on her door. After two weeks, she took it down in frustration, forcing me to figure out a mnemonic.
Anomia is apparently a generic loss of naming capability (a match isn't "match," it is "that which makes fire"). Prosopanomia is the proper-name-specific version, and has apparently been pinpointed.
I never thought that there might be a name for this condition. I've always had to just live with it, and thought it was this hard for everyone (except those crazy memory gurus).
Interesting anecdote... but ulcers are not caused by stress. Two weeks of antibotics should set you right as rain, thanks to Dr. Marshal and Dr. Warren.
When Australian researcher Barry Marshall, MBBS, first suggested in the early 1980s that stomach ulcers were caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, he was nearly laughed off the stage at an international infectious disease conference. But 20 years later, H pylori is acknowledged as the chief cause of peptic ulcers, and antibiotics are their preferred treatment. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/514219?src=hp3 0.lead
To prove it, he downed a whole load of pylori, giving himself the mother of all ulcers. Now that's science (both in the mainstream refusal, and the evidence required to prove it).
Much like Steel Battalion, the ">40-button-controller XBox game that, when you die (i.e. doesn't flip up the cover and mash Eject in time), deletes that character's saved game. An amazing game.

Yup. They made a movie about it. :)

Well, if you were looking for a Kona Cladera, you might try searching for "Kona Cladera" ;)
This must run on the 1st generation Maas-Neotek biochips. One can only hope...
SQL Server's documentation has gotten so large that they only ship it on-disc. 6.5 had 10lbs of books.

And if they did their homework... they'd know better.
Interesting. They say that you can... not that they should or will.
I believe he was trying to show this video. That link isn't working for me. Here's the MetaFilter version.
What's the big deal here?

Wish I could track it down.

Except... the moon doesn't rotate. Well, it does, but very slowly. I doubt it would give you much of a boost.

What about those newfangled Semiconductor laser devices that were all the rage a few years back? Or are they still considered a plain old lasers?
20 years, same as Europe (mostly; From issue date vs. from filing filing date).
Hmm. That controller link have pointed pointed here: http://www.steelbattalion.org/controller.php
