Dude, just because the "massive radio dish" was the most prominent feature, doesn't mean the moviemakers were trying to imply that was what was doing the actual sensing! All satellites look that way -- the dish is always the biggest part (other than perhaps the solar panels). The cameras were there, they were just hard to see: some small little piece down in one corner. Actually, visual spy sats look like the Hubble telescope. You don't need a massive radio dish to send a signal, but you need one to receive a weak signal.
You forgot the fact that coal tends to have small amounts of radioactive elements in it. So we have a lot of radioactive particles floating in the air from burning coal. This is even more dangerous than a fission reactor, because we can control where the waste from a fission reactor goes, but cannot(yet) control the circulation of air.
Of course not, this is the goyernment we're talking about. They spend billions of dollars on Anti-Ballistic Missile systems, and next to nothing on the space program. My calculator is more powerful than the shuttles computers. They're that old. I could continue to rant, but I'm not.
One time pads can be decrypted, but they can't be cracked because the number of possible decryptions so large as to make it impossible to determine which one is correct.
>Sound travels at slower than twice the speed of an ordinary 747 aircraft. 200 times the speed of a 747 aircraft (about 200,000m/s) is not a very big deal on the cosmic scale...
Last I checked 200,000 m/s was faster than the speed of light
also, after i looked at the picture, i realized that she isn't wearing a pressure suit in the picture it's just a picture of her sky diving, minus the background
The bends occurs when you breathe in nitrogen, which dissolves in blood, and when you reach a lower pressure the nitrogen suddenly doesn't want to stay dissolved. You then have a large number of bubbles in the blood, which then block the blood flow, and kill you.
The bends wouldn't be a problem because, the pressure is increasing, and the nitrogen won't undissolve.

LZ77 is the name of the compression algorithm. It's used in pkzip files.
My nick is actually the name of a charcater from Larry Niven's Known Space Universe

Shouldn't that be "there's no such thing as a free launch"?
No it should be: "tanstaafl," There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. Hasn't anybody 'round here read Heinlein?

Except for the guy that wanted to kill Romeo.

in hell.
Who the hell mods this up?!?< \YELL>
I believe that the sovereign boundaries of nations end at the atmosphere.

But one of the cardinal rules of gun safety is: Treat every gun as if it was loaded!!!

yes, you can rip cd's with winamp now there is a special plugin that will output MP3s
if you don't look at the ad then the company charges you for the product
