Then you really have to wonder about the video card- an Asus GeForce 8800 GTS 640 MB. My first thought was this was being used for work during the day, and games at night (sort of a computer version of a mullet) but I wonder what game they would play. Maybe they really like playing around with audio encoding? Is there a multi-threaded version of Audacity?
Well, we 'influenced' events in WW II,Korea, Vietnam, Panama, Iraq 1, Afghanistan, Iraq 2, and more. We didn't start most of them, but I think we could be called a more prolific 'attacker' during those conflicts, as that is a vague term. I'm not sure that's quite what the OP meant. It appears that English is not his first language (which is ok, not criticizing) and that the sentence was poorly worded and poorly researched flamebait.
Not in my related experience. Or if they could, they don't. The gate agent probably doesn't care, as they won't be on the airplane. Their motive is probably to get the person (ok, me) away from them as quickly as possible, and that's down the ramp to the airplane.
That was my first thought- these objects are moving in a giant EM field, let's charge them up and let them enjoy their new (unstable) orbits. It would take longer and wouldn't be as dramatic as blowing them up, but it would probably be cheaper and more effective. Small pieces might be hard to target, but that is a solvable problem.
If that worked, the leaky toilets on the ISS would have solved the problem long ago...
Besides, unless they match orbits with the pieces of junk they would be moving to fast to hit. All your method would encourage is a contest to see who can 'write their name' on the side of the shuttle first.
It only really needs to be large in two of the dimensions (i.e. envelope), it' the unnecessary bulking up in the third dimension (i.e. the ~4"x6"x9" box that my SD card came in) that is causing problems.
That article is from October 2000, and is hopefully out of date. Any references to something newer would be welcome. Also, the comparison doesn't quite make sense. The speed of sound is 767 mph (dry air, 68 F). 4000 mph = 5.2 times the speed of sound. The numbers are approximate as few missiles will be flying in dry air at 68 F, but still much higher than 2.5x. Using the speed of sound given by the Russian anti-ship missile data (680 mph) the ratio would be 5.88 times the speed of sound for the U.S. missile. So the U.S. missile is way faster, even faster than the 'theoretical' dive speed of Mach 4.5 speculated for the Russian missile. It would also be useful to know the range of the missiles- if the U.S. missiles have a much longer range, it doesn't matter how fast the Russian missiles go as their ship will be blown up before they are launched.
Unfortunately, I think the lesson propagated here is that you should sneak your patents into standards you are supposedly helping with, as no harm will come to you from your misdeed. Rambus and Microsoft are not the first companies to do this, and thanks to the encouragement they received from the Supreme Court they probably won't be the last.
My Sprint RAZR also will not charge from a computer unless I install a driver. The driver is only for windows, it will not charge when connected to a Linux (Fedora, haven't tried charging on Ubuntu) machine. It also will not charge from generic wall plug to USB power converters, or from 12V to USB converters, only from the Motorola branded charger. Either Sprint or Motorola has screwed with these, or they had a revision or two that don't charge properly. They screwed with the USB and Bluetooth connectivity so they don't work properly, so I assumed they had done "something" to disable recharging over the USB port unless it finds something from Motorola providing the charge. Makes me want to drop Sprint and Motorola next time I look for a phone.
My more humane methodology for using glue traps- I check the traps often (not wanting mice to suffer, just want them gone) and when I find one occupied, I put it in a bag, then flatten the bag. A few times, upon finding a freshly caught mouse, I gave it to an 'animal lover' type who frees them (unharmed, it's not really difficult) and releases them back to the wilds (away from where they were caught).
I just had that happen upgrading F9 to F10. Yumex and yum would crash on updating random packages. Fixed it by first only updating the rpm package (which is where the crash really was). After that I could update everything else. I did not run out of curse words though, even limiting myself to English.

I think shiny mosquitos will have other, bigger problems.
Now if this system were installed in every swamp, birdbath, and outhouse as well as all other predators removed, we might see something interesting.

Blue Screen on Big Blue? Does it look more blue that way? When you're running it in Remote Desktop do you even get the BSOD?
No, using this you will never get better than 3 of 10.
That flag is already knocked over by the exhaust fumes from the ascent stage.
Maybe that's what Apollo 12 was for then...
I hope they didn't knock any of our flags over, we'll have to send someone back to set them up again...
a state that looks up to New Jersey in terms of class and sophistication.
Now THAT was a libelous statement! I actually can't think of a better example (yes I am aware of West Virginia).

I guess some quotes are too obscure...

If you put the boat next to the fuel pump at the dock, you could have "Perpetual Motion Jet Pack"!
Say the USA borrows trillions of dollars from China and after a while goes bankrupt and can't repay them.
They would probably come and take all of our factories away. We'll really be screwed then...
Did the spine end up in the fries or on a burger?

Maybe they can just ship the rats up to Canada?

Does the fact that one requires an external entity to prepare it make it any less hot than the one that becomes hot of its own accord?
Do you have a Pentium 4 laptop or a cold coffee? Just curious.
Also, as you have redefined 'hot' for this argument, please inform us of the details of this new definition. You may use a car analogy.
There is everything wrong with a government that thinks it is entitled to take flesh - no matter how small the amount - from its citizens.
I bet many people in that situation would be willing to offer a small sample of saliva instead...
Bill Gates will fire a gun into a crowd while shouting "there is no reason why only poor people should suffer from gun crimes!"
Cheney has him covered on that. Beat him to it, actually.
