I wouldn't be surprised if someone has already patented that gesture.
My gesture to the patent office is: ring and little finger and then thumb folded on the palm, middle and index finger in a V hand moved from horizontal to vertical with back of hand toward the recipient.
(I was born in a commonwealth country, and the cesture dates back to the hundred years war.
"The 2 PM EST broadcast time will minimize disruption during rush hours,"
In CST and MST it will be lunchtime rush hours.. But I don't suppose FEMA give a sh!t about the middle of the country.
"while ensuring that the test occurs during working hours across the United States."
I work night shift you insensitive clods!
(But actually I'd rather not be at work when theres one of those test alerts - its bad enough trying to explain a real storm to some of the confused residents.
The biggest army would have to be that of the PRC. However since China doesn't have the biggest navy or airforce they don't have nearly as much dominance in worldwide strategy.
You are listening to NOAA's national weather service station... (Sounds like Stephen Hawking to me...)
How come nobody has mentioned Peter Tuddenham (Zen from B7)
As far as narrating a story, or documentary I have always frefered male british voices. (Richard Burton, Patrick Stewart, John Hurt, Sir John Geilgud) but then I was born in a Commonwealth country.
Its possible to make helium out of heavy hydrogen, and you can get a lot of energy in the process. Stars have been doing this for umpteen billion years. Getting a sustainable reaction here on earth has so far not been achieved, but it will be done in a few decades or so.
the deep space clock will be accurate to 1 second every umpteen million years, but will need to be reset in a couple of weeks due to the change from daylight time to standard time.
What I don't understand is why when there is a group of ships (of the same species) moving in formation are all at the same orientation. You would think that they would be better tactically aligned in different ways so that all directions are covered by their weapons.
I thought that YouTube was all about original content, albeit amateur videos of the type people used to send in to America's "Funniest" home videos, and people on scene at disasters etc.
And of course coverage of protests in undemocratic countries
Yes, its wrong. The Bill Gates Era didn't start til 1995 and you left out Jay Miner. (You also left out Clive Sinclair, but you probably never heard of him in the USA (or of Dick Smith for that matter.)

Say did Arthur C Clarke patent the idea of using Europa as a fuel depot?
(I don't really think we have to worry about large black monoliths telling us not to go there
WTF is an air distillation plant?
Normally you distill liquids, so to distill 'air' would be a cryogenic operation,.very expensive in money and energy.

"It's very difficult to achieve a vacuum in the first place"
Maybe that Dyson guy can have a go at it, he seems pretty good at designing vacuums
Nope, its a greek bronze helmet, from a few centuries earlier than Rome
AFAIK the Senate has to ratify all treaties by a super majority (something like 60 or 67 senators in favour, even if the House passes it.
(Not that it matters of course I am sure the senators are all bought and paid for by the IP industry.

Theres that, but theres also the missing words 'thus far' which should be in the headline.
Do you get wafers with it?
What flavours are available?

IMHO "Oceanic" is the best Vangelis album for relaxing.

All of whom I found out about on the Soundscapes music channel

The first message that was found in pi was a circle drawn in 1's and zeros in base eleven.
