For me the happy medium is to buy canned-type foods at the store
And don't forget that you don't have to take it the way it is. I frequently add frozen corn and peas to canned soup, or toss in some chopped celery. Some are kind of watery to start with.
That said, there's nothing like having home-made soup at my parents'. (It always tastes better the second day for some reason.)
Pretty much. A lot of North American coffee is made with robusta rather than arabica beans. On the plus side, robusta beans have generally have more caffine.
As I recall, the method of controlling the shuttle goes through several phases during the decent. At one point the aerodynamic controls tend to work backwards.
Eh, sorry. Follow this link which goes into more detail. There's plenty of other links, and I have a few books on the subject, so it's hard to keep track of what info is where. Google for "Project Babylon" for loads of info.
Yes, the payloads would have to be built to take it. But that's not impossible, if you read the link in detail. The HARP project was planning to launch a three-stage rocket via this method.
I don't suggest it as a primary space transportation system, just as a cheap easy way to get mass up there to support projects. Oxygen, hydrogen, water, building materials, food, etc. If a shot fails, reload, fire again.
If you want dead mass tossed into orbit, there's always the Verne method: Gerald Bull Granted, you need a burn to make it an orbit once you're up, and you can't use it for anything that breaks easily. The advantage is that it's cheap and if anything breaks, it's easy to fix. If Saddam (and McGill University, narf!) could build one, why not?
Story here Russia has launched an unmanned cargo ship to the international space station, a day after the loss of Columbia threw future missions to the orbiting complex in doubt. (snip)
The long-planned launch came as Russian space officials offered condolences to their American colleagues and said the disaster may put Moscow's cash-strapped space programme under more pressure to deliver crews and supplies to the station.
"Cosmonauts and astronauts are one big family, and I personally - and I believe all my colleagues - are suffering this like a personal loss," cosmonaut Yuri Usachev, who commanded the space station's second crew in 2001, said.
I think that the tire pressure indication might have been a symptom rather than a cause. If this can be trusted, then it sounds like there was a slow burn-through until it became critical.
Damned straight! And who's going to tell her ghost and all those kids that she wasn't an astronaut? Not me! A shuttle mission is dangerous, but that would be perilous.
So! It was you! Do you know how much time we spent programming against you! Why I oughta...:^)
Eh, try this for a laugh with MAME. 1983 with 1981 hardware. It was fun. (We got to try out all the latest games for free as research.) Multitasking object oriented assember, hmm.
When Nolan's huge non-compete contract with Atari expired, he started up Sente games. Anyone remember them? Didn't think so. (You must have blinked back in 1984.)
Sometimes the lightning strikes, and the struck spend the rest of their lives trying to duplicate the event.
Given that almost all spam is already originating from overseas
Well, no. Most spam that I get might be coming from overseas, but the origination is usually in North America. Spammers hijack proxies (or buy them) in China, have web sites in Russia, but those are done by people right here at home (YHMV). (Too damned many of them from Toronto for my liking!) I am getting an upswing on South American spam in my hotmail spamtrap, perhaps time to set them adrift?
Did you know that they usually cancel sales of the $cientology e-meter (primative lie-detector) because they were hassled with a DMCA copyright "ava-gram"? (Here's the song
Beats me how selling a physical object can be copyright violation, and I thought that part of buying something was the right to sell it. Unlike Google and Slashdot, eBay has no balls. (Granted they gave in, but in a way that the Happy Fun Cult really wouldn't have wanted.)
I figured that they were burning copyrighted porn onto the CDs, but when I hit the "music" part, I reread it. (I mean, the music in most porn videos is pretty lame.. not that I've seen many.. CITY-TV runs them on Friday nights. There was nothing else on. My VCR hookup is busted.. oh poot!)
One of the first uses of statistics was charting cases of cholera in London -- which found the source. (Got that from a Connections show. James Burke and Civ, mmmm, Dream Team!)
Prior art, but hopefully they'll get something done. But on the other hand..
The government [is] extremely fond of amassing great quantities of
statistics. These are raised to the nth degree, the cube roots are
extracted, and the results are arranged into elaborate and impressive
displays. What must be kept ever in mind, however, is that in every
case, the figures are first put down by a village watchman, and he puts
down anything he damn well pleases.

Yeah, and you thought that frosting was sugar, right :^)
Just eat generically-modified food.

Sounds good, but I think I'll stick with my french press coffee maker. Oh wait.. :^)
Did he announce anything in his State of the Union Address? (I was not going to watch the whole thing, and the synopsis concentrated on Iraq.)

It'd be dirt cheap, and handy to have available.
The video and audio aren't synced. The video was just added as a dramatic backdrop.
And the losers get kicked off their land, leaving behind the physical and developmental winners . And that's a fact too.
Maybe they did. This observer found the communications strange even before the problems.
Hey! That coffee is hell to clean off the monitor! Perhaps Slashdot needs a [C&C] subject convention like some newsgroups? (Coffee and cats)

Interesting bit about inflation cages.
It's all a matter of degree.
That teacher passed all the astronaut training courses. Could you?
