I used to do the computer tournaments for a gaming convention.
We had staff members who were security for the con but no specific precautions taken for the computers. For a couple the years we setup on the main floor and then started doing the computer gaming in separate room we could lock when not in use.
Computers, monitors, CD cases, and power strips had stickers with the owners name on them.
Between a staff member being present and self-policing we never had anything stolen.
Consumer Reports rated the Ionic Breeze the worst of all the ones tested. They said it didn't change the particle count of contanimates in the air because it didn't move air.
Over 10 years ago in Japan they raised a sheep outside of the womb. I remember it was in a pink solution and had a bunch of tubes hooked up to it's belly button. They showed it kicking around.
I think it was in 92 I saw this on TV in highschool.
Casini's uses the heat from the decay of its 76 pounds of Plutonium to generate its power. And it generates very little power over a long long time. Remember Little Boy, it weighd 9,700 pounds and had 176 pounds (if I remember right) of Uranium 235). It generated a lot more energy than Casini's Plutonium ever will because instead of decaying it split (fission). With a plasma drive you react that relatively small amount of mass to get lots of energy and thrust. Now if only they could get a fusion reactor to produce more power than it uses we'd be in buissness!
"If I'm in a crowded room and I yell offensive things about somebody -- even if they're untrue -- I can't get in trouble." Thats just plain wrong! You'll get in trouble ESPECIALLY if its untrue. As long as it is true you CAN'T get in trouble. The difference between spoken and written comments is the difference between slander and libel. One is written, one is spoken. They're treated the same in court.
After such a successful mission the only thing to make it better would be to actually profit monetarily from it. So sell it on EBAY!! One used as-is satellite. For research or retaliation. Cost of sale includes shipping (i.e. final resting place of satellite). The right entry angle and you could smack someone's embassy pretty hard. What, our satellite? Act of god man, we didn't mean to blow up your building.

It was (by far) the quitest of them though.
Capture them and put a Frikk'n Laser on thier forhead. Perfect.
Someone get this to the guy who built a Lego version of Serenity from Firefly.
I need to know what to buy!
Obiously you've never seen "Consumer Whore" a parady of StarBucks. StarBucks lost their lawsuit.

My memory is a little fuzzy, I'll check these #'s after I post this :-)
