To be honest I think I probably wouldn't really mind. My point is that it takes more than a high-res, true-colour image to make a truly good film. Great films can be improved by such things; they don't require them.
Plus, they're very hard to swallow in microgravity.
Fine, then take it intravenously, or as a suppository (seriously), or as drops under the tongue, or as a liquid suspension. There are a number of ways to make drugs as easy to take (in space) as eating/drinking anything else.
The research team investigated whether the unique environment of space - including radiation, excessive vibrations, microgravity, a carbon dioxide rich environment and variations in humidity and temperature - affected drugs' effectiveness.
How about putting them in a box?
Apart from radiation I don't see how the other environmental issues are unique to space.
How would microgravity affect chemical compounds? We've known for a while about bone decalcification and muscle atrophy but I always ascribed such things to the fact that astronauts aren't standing on solid ground or exercising as they are on Earth. It's not as though the proteins and whatnot in their bodies are discombobulating while they're up there, is it?
When I worked for Orange, many moons ago, remote voicemail access was disabled by default. It could only be used after the customer set up their own PIN.
If this was and is the case with other networks then this "hacking" is down to social engineering. That or famous people using their publicly-known birthdays as their PINs.
Granted, it was the weakest of the three movies, but you can't expect too much from a movie trying to depict a 4-dimensional construct in 3 dimensions and then project the result on a 2-dimensional screen, eh?
It didn't help that the actors were 2-dimensional (at best) too!
x in this case is just a variable name for position/displacement, rather than referring to an X+Y(+Z) cartesian coordinate system. If it helps, replace it it with s(t); like many others I am accustomed to s* being used for displacement.
*Note the lower case; S is commonly used to refer to thermodynamic entropy.
RISCOS and the Archimedes line were about a decade ahead of the competition when they first came out, but sadly Not Invented Here syndrome killed them in the end.
Indeed. Application bundles and something similar to the OS X dock spring to mind - not suggesting anything, just saying - but it is rather amusing to me that in a way we have Aunty Beeb to thank for it all.
It's cleaner because all the waste is concentrated - in solid form, to boot - and there aren't any carbon emissions beyond those resulting from the construction of the plant.
Now you, like me, might not feel that CO2 should count as unclean when it comes to these sort of statistics but most people apparently disagree.
You don't need Mythbusters, just Newton's Third Law.
The force imparted to the bullet and that applied to the rifle are equal and opposite and every instant that gases are exerting pressure on the bottom of the bullet they are simultaneously doing the same to the breech at the other end of the barrel. To suggest that the bullet gains more energy than the rifle is nonsense since its acceleration drops below zero as soon as it has left the barrel - in fact, its momentum starts decreasing at that time.
PS, bullets are dangerous to flesh because they are small, unlike the butt on a rifle.
The earliest known fossil evidence of prokaryotic life is almost 1 billion years after the Earth's formation. I can't imagine how you can call 1 billion years any time at all, even in the scale of the universe:)
It's easy. I call it on the order of 10% of the current age of the Universe.
He partially owned the company. you can't fire someone like that. you have to buy them out.
That depends on how much a portion he owned. If, say, he owned 15% of the shares and the other 85% of the shareholders say GTFO then that's just what he has to do. He'll still own shares but he won't be CEO or what have you.

I wouldn't really call myself a buff but I know what I like - read I'm picky - but my attitude to HD so far can be summed up thus:
If a film has to been seen in HD to be enjoyed it's not much of a film to start with.
Why we as a nation dont show up at the MPAA headquarters and burn these assholes at the stake I'll never understand.
Because as a nation we're too busy buy their crap?

Man up and read a dictionary. Open source means open source. It has nothing to do with software licensing.
Doesn't the source in open source come from source code?
Like streams of electrons or ions?
No, protons baby! Using those has certain... fringe benefits.
Creates a few, too. Ever tried using a mouse that took a second to start working and a second to stop?
Yes, TF2 has been laggy today... but anyway, it won't be such a problem if one can endow the robot with an intelligence on the order of, say, a mouse.
What do you think is going to be powering these space vehicles?
Aneutronic fusion power plants, assuming Bussard was on to something. *Fingers crossed*
You mean like a plane of wood with no depth?

Nop. Han Solo was and interesting + flamebait character at the same time....
Yoda was a troll and funny monster but also an insightful teacher...
R2D2 was an interesting machine...
C3PO was an informative translator...
Leia was underrated and Ewoks were overrated...
Han Solo was your typical mercenary with a heart of gold - but easily forgiven because he was my first exposure to such a character.
Yoda was just the wise, yet nebulous teacher type - see above.
R2D2 was a device (in every sense) to advance the plot, no more, no less.
C3PO was there as the comic foil and was a damn sight better than he which must not be named. Also filled in for ^^
Leia started off well, but degenerated into a love interest as the series went on.
I have nothing to say about the Ewoks, who could have been so much more.
P.S. Han was only flamebait because Lucas is, well, Lucas - I think that's insulting enough a word after what he did...

Who knows, we might even end up with the responsiveness of my RISC OS 2 Acorn A3000 in 1990.
Ah, my trusty old friend Acorn... what went wrong?
I do understand the issue with radioactivity from coal, but we were talking about gas after all.
It's cleaner because all the waste is concentrated - in solid form, to boot - and there aren't any carbon emissions beyond those resulting from the construction of the plant.

Dead is dead, no matter how many nails are driven into the coffin..
Heh heh. I like that. I may have steal, er, quote and attribute it.

Call me cynical, but yeah... right, sure he did.

No, you have to tick that box up there ^
