"There are those like the Postmodern sophist Slavoj iek who argue that Stalin's crimes were his aberrational distortion of an otherwise admirably utopian Marxist-Leninism whose reputation still deserves respect and maybe a Lacanian tweak in light of the genocidal reality of Marxist/Leninist regimes.

We do this all the time. It's quite possible that more people have died in the name of religion than Hitler or Stalin managed. Yet we seem to have little problem promoting these ideologies every day.
Well physics isn't the only field to suffer this problem. There's no standard model to explain the phenomenon of Justin Bieber's success. It seems like something that should be explainable, but it isn't.
Enterprise was the SGU new direction, making it more visceral, often-times just trying to survive out in the big bad universe. Voyager would have been good if it wasn't so badly acted and cliche'd.
It really wouldn't be hard for them to simply start a new X-year voyage of discovery, with good writers and actors. If you can get your hands on a few of the original cast, Wil Wheaton is clearly still active and I'd hope he would like a chance to 'fix' the character of Wesley, to grow him up. Considering the path the character was on there's no reason why he couldn't be a good first officer.
What they need to do is find the writers of Babylon 5 and tell them we wan't one of them there 5 year over-arcing plot lines involving time-travel, Q continuum and a healthy dose of borg and bingo, you got a new series.
The worst thing they can do it another Voyager plot, where the objective is so obvious (get home) but be one so tenuous that you can draw it out as long as the TV station keeps paying. Front the production money for 5 seasons right from the start, so that if TV company cancels (because they seem to be ccancelling all sorts of good things recently) so that the remainder can be made straight to DVD, or for online purchase. If 10 Million fans each paid only 30 dollars for the DVD box set you have 300 million right there, before the TV stations buy it or your website sells advertising.
You know that most supermarkets (Tesco in Ireland) do deliver? And you can order online (even just order online and pickup).
Also, I remember helping my neighbor out regularly, watching the kids while she went shopping. I do wonder nowadays if the sense of community is gone in some places, where you don't even know the name of the people living next to you.
When I moved into the apartments (they were brand new) I'm living in now, one of the first things we did (with the help of the landlord) was to organise a barbecue on one of the few nice days we had that summer. You no longer simply nod to people as you pass them in the corridor/stairwell. We'd often help people with picking up shopping or simply keeping an eye on the kids (watching TV) while parent is out for an appointment.
I don't want to judge, as I have no idea about your situation, but there are still ways of ensuring you get healthy meals with not a whole lot of effort.
Exactly this. My wife (gasp!) recently wanted to drink some wine with dinner, and then meet up with a friend at the Cinema. A device like this would tell her that if she finished her 3rd glass at 4-4:30pm, is she okay to drive at 8pm?
(she didn't drive that night, got the bus, but I think she would have been okay)
Can get disposable for $2-3 (http://www.alcohol-breathalyzers.com/) or a non-disposable for ~€100
The point of all this is that if someone is picked up and found over the limit, they can no longer claim "I only had one, I was sure I wasn't over the limit"
Well, take a look at yourself (applies to me too), you are at your desk, in your cubicle or open plan office, or in the depths of the building where IT generally hide. If you only have a choice of the 2, do you really think you are the genius? Look around at where you are, and what you do. Are you "The Man In Charge?" I know I'm not. A bit demotivational, but hey.
Why isn't the wife making the sandwich? I'd also be quite worried if my daughter was looking a pictures of horse whips, considering she has no interest in horses.
Eating synthetic meat is so common place that when the protagonist is surreptitiously fed beef that came from a real live animal he gets violently sick (from disgust) when he finds out. He considers this perverse.
My response to "If you aren't doing anything wrong, what do you have to hide?" is "Do you mind taking off all your cloths please? You have nothing to hide, right?". Suddenly such people become great advocates for privacy.

Damn, I'd hate to be around you when you see some virgin snow. Unless I have a video camera handy, that stuff's gold on youtube.

Silly formatting.....
30+1.3806488(13)×1023 is not a lot really. Odd stipulation though, was it though up by the same people that Google had bidding on patents?

Very good book all round BTW
Lets speculate.
The closer the ratio is to square, the more usable area you have for the size of the device.
Why don't we have circular screens?
1 x 10^11 = 100,000,000,000.
If that's grams of bacteria, that's 100 Million kilograms!
And it's common knowledge that the majority of the bacteria in the gut is good for you, not negative.
Makes sense, a loud bang, a woman bearing her legs to the knee, it's enough to break a grown man's heart.

Yes, Priests are the only people to wear actual black clothes.
