All of the computers should have their "R" keys removed to prevent any unscrupulous behavior that can be described or implied by a word containing the letter "R" or "r".
FWIW, Cadsoft Eagle is a proprietary schematic capture/layout program that has a free version that anybody can use to view or print (but not edit) design files written by the full versions. Also, Cadsoft has a much lower price (around $150) if you're using the full version for non-commercial activites. Eagle seems to be quite popular for the hobbiest market because of this.
Reed-Solomon codes are very, very good at correcting large blocks of error in bitstreams: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed-Solomon_error_correction The result is a CIRC that can completely correct error bursts up to 4000 bits, or about 2.5 mm on the disc surface. This code is so strong that most CD playback errors are almost certainly caused by tracking errors that cause the laser to jump track, not by uncorrectable error bursts.

Not quite; at its height before the Apollo 11 launch, number of people working directly on the Apollo program was over 400,000 (from Watkins, 2007).

If you can't see at interesting wavelengths, maybe you need a better set of eyes.
LyX is a nice frontend program that simplifies LaTeX input

No altered code must be given unless binaries are also given.
BSD makes the developer more free, GPL makes the code more free.
Those pilots should be forced to shoot one of the passengers before the flight to show the rest that they really mean business!
No. It was the EPA, possibly in connection with the Liberal Media.
How dare you insult such a masterwork of cinema.
You probably think that Predator was bad too.
An amp is a unit of rate (coulombs/second).
A coulomb is a quantity of electrons.
The life of a battery is measured in amp-hours (or some si-prefixed version of it, such as milliamp-hours).
Juice is measured in coulombs (or amp-hours if you're a weenie).
