Y'all hush!
If at first you can't stay out of the conversation, then at least ensure the opposition estimate of capabilities is way off.

What kind of a lame attempt was this?
It was Hagbard Celine in the golden submarine with a glitch in FUCKUP that can only be described as self-referential.
trying to empty a bathtub with a single bucket without making multiple trips...
Trivially done.
Freeze the tub, balance the ice block precariously on the bucket, imply a threat to let it land on pedantic person trotting out something as archaic as math get in the way of your argument.
It's really not so much what you say as how you say it.
Body language, man: body language.
during combat, the destroyer's speed could be brought down, freeing up energy for a rail gun
This will go about as far as a Fred Thompson candidacy.
Often, when things go pear-shaped, the first thing you want to do is light off everything you've got and turn the engines up to 11.
When you've got something off http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-to-surface_missile coming at you at Mach kiss-butt-goodbye, working the geometry to minimize your signature, unmask close-in weapons, and try to make the missile overshoot depends on maneuverability, and that's a function of water force against the rudders.
Now, if this can be used as an argument to fund more nuclear powered small boys...

It's that I think there is something threatening about this particular administration, and their efforts to simultaneously frighten Americans and enhance the surveillance and enforcement powers of government, while minimizing the liberties of citizens is a bigger threat than we face from Global Terrorism.
The rub of my argument about the strategic threat of government is that "this particular" means little.
It's all one vast, continuous business run by a very small group of incredibly loaded oligarchs. The elections are the icing, but not the cake.

process that is bacteria based instead of some of the other available methods.
The bacteria processes organic material that is fed into the reactor and secretes ethanol
as a waste product.
The Illinois startup patentd "a process for using bacteria to transform something into stuff"
and promptly sued everyone in posession of compost.
"Hey, since they beat us to the smartphone, the only thing we could do in response was test the outer limits of stupidity," said Joey, the CIO.
Time could be running out for ambitious entremanures wanting to cash in on the USPTO, however, Joey continued:
"The USPTO asked us a question, which was 'What time is it?' They hadn't ever asked any questions previously. We fear that this question could herald an unprecedented era of consciousness at the USPTO."
"Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious."
[edited from the script but I'll add, since it's on topic:]
"The USPTO collectively stood up in front of the world and yelled 'We are the largest collection of asshats in the history of mankind'. I guess Ferris was a pretty keen cell phone investor, so, it's off to Dr. Spaceman's office with him to get a little something for the depression, you know."

Oh, sure. But tell me that the profit margin on Vista isn't significantly lower than on previous versions. Will Windows 7 ever be released?
Just move the bathtub to Canada, man.
