The big difference is the scope of the problem. Abortion only affects those involved, whereas global warming, whether primarily caused by human activity or not, affects the whole planet. Eventually it will become uninhabitable by humans, and 99% of the rest of the species.
The Shuttle is retired, and the replacement launch vehicle has been canceled, what is there for NASA to hire people for? I Can't see the new Congress giving them any more money either...
I think thats in the Geneva convention or something. However the pirates didn't sign the Geneva Convention, and neither did Al Qaeda so pretty much anything is fair game these days.
I was getting worried they were patenting a rotating device used to blow air to cool things. Essential for modern computers... (BTW most air conditioners use fans too.
I don't know how long ago open source software came to the PC , but in 1986 I was using an Amiga and there was free software with source code included on the "Fish Disks" library.
A solar panel on a backpack is more practical. For one thing you can leave it out in the sun if you are resting in the shade of a tree (or are in a pub having a beer.)
It could be a useful way to produce hydrogen, but whats the point of making Carbon Monoxide? Is there a market for that? (Not many concentration camps around these days)
NZ never hafd any top secret military aircraft. In 1978 we had A4 Skyhawks and BAC Strikemasters. The only state of the art aircraft in NZ skies back then were top-dressers (agricultural aircraft used for spreading fertilizer.)

88 kilometres per hour is about 24.44 metres per second.

Well I guess they could have used the term "Astrometrics" but Seven (of Nine) had patented that already...
Yeah that was how I read the headline first - another recall for Toyota...
Will my health insurance cover the cost?
You mean like 5 metres by 150mm by 100mm
I thought antimatter would only be created one or 2 antiprotons and positrons at a time.
I mean how are you going to get the meat out from inside the tiny exoskeletons?

Rocket launchers have no recoil. Of course you have to watch out that nobody is standing behind you when you fire.

Ever tried to type on an on screen keyboard?
Its bad enough having to use one for your username and password...
I use a AMD CPU and it says that (13 February 2002) to (6 January 2011) is nearly 9 years.
Detect Neutrinos?
How about tachyons?
Midiclorians?
"$80MM"
Is dollars millimeters a new unit?
It was in orbit right? It wasn't like it was under power all that time. (well if it was its unlikely to have much propellant left to do any manouvers)

Its gonna be tricky to get cars flying on the moon.
Not even close. What about "Five Weeks in a Balloon"?
And there have been astronauts and cosmonauts on Mir and ISS for 6 months at a time...

Are best confined to July 4th and November 5th.
The big drawback is that once they're lit you have no control, you can't turn them off, or even throttle them down.
They sold F15's to Israel and Saudi Arabia. Of course neither of those do Christmas...
Make it an F22 Raptor, they aren't going to sell any of those to foreign armed forces no matter what you'd pay...
