You think thats bad? Imagine what they will be paying a billion years from now to read about the process, to decode our data. Even if you just take into account normal inflation, the amount of money needed after a billion years would be more than the number of psrticles in the universe.
Why is it that whenever the President appoints/nominates someone for an important position, the word 'taps' is mentioned.
Given that this is Memorial Weekend, the word Taps is more associatied with the bugle call for fallen soldiers, and is approppriate for remembering the Challenger and Columbia crews, (and Grissom White and Chaffee)
If we discover life that is of opposite handedness to the life on this planet, then they wouldn't be able to eat us. On the other hand we wouldn't be able to eat them:( but on the gripping hand thry could still hunt us for sport. (or we could hunt them for sport.)
Walking is a lot safer, especially in the winter. (And for that matter in the other season (road construction))
But there are some things you need a motor vehicle for, like shopping (to carry stuff home), or travel in bad weather. (eg rain, or -40 degree wind chill)
My guess is its the Giant Sandworm from Arrakis "Shai Halud"
BTW I don't play WoW you insensitive clod!
Since its the first day of the fourth month please think of the poor children in Fargo who are unable to celebrate this 'holiday' with their teachers. (schools are closed due to the flood)
I remember something from a Popular Science|Mechnics magazine from the 1950's. This guy had heavily modified a car to keep going, it could be refueled, and change tires while moving. There were small wheels at each corner that could be jacked down and lift that wheel up, and an extended running board. Of course it didn't happen at highway speeds, just a few miles per hr. I think the goal was to cross the country without stopping for some record. Tires and other stuff were stored in a trailer towed behind the vehicle.
Thre is the "history International channel. It has quite a few war documentaries. (Though not as many as the "military Channel" which is owned by Discovery.
There exist printers that can do 2450DPI - which means about 6 meqapixels per square inch. There are about 100 square inches on a page. 600 megapixels in that image.
Anyway it will be interesting to see how KERS plays out this coming season. With the amount of money spent on research in Formula one they are bound to come up with some innovative but expensive technology for storing energy.
Sure if your recreation/hobbies are sedentry (video games, reading slashdot, watching TV etc) AND your job is a sedentry one (sitting at a desk all day, and you drive to work or take the bus, then you are probably not getting enough exercise.
On the other hand if your job involves a lot of moving aroung, lifting, carrying etc, and you walk or cycle to work, then it may not matter that you relax in a couch afterward.
If we can find (by telescope) somewhere worthwhile to go to (ie a habitable planet that we can colonize) then it will be a lot easier to get investment and support for developing ways (FTL drives, ships etc) to go there.
Slashdot Mirror
We have those here, but in addition (in the middle of the road construction season) we have mosquito season.
A little bit to the west of us (in the valley) they have had so far this year, snow removall, flood, and now road construction.

it makes it 'sufficiemtly advamced technology' - if it works.
I use Firefox as my default browser. Should I care what version of IE is on my (XP) system?

So is the plural of DAC pronounced DAX?
I wonder which version of the combination entityy it will feature?
Curzon
Jedzia

You left out the 'tachyon pulse' part. Thats the way to get your data moving faster than light.
If americans lived in Holland, rather than California, Texas, or Florida, then they wouldn't need A/C for 90% of the year.
Gravity curves light in space. Black holes work especially well at this.
Did Mozilla get taken over by Microsoft or something?
Daylight Saving Time. Are they sure the govt isn't going to mess with the start and end dates again?
Buy a rechareable LED headlight.
Switch off your incandescents and your CFLs
You only need to illuminate what you are looking at.

Korea to Japan, or just over, is not exactly in the 'intercontinental' range.

Thats why there is the (optional) suppressor. It doesn't totally silence the weapon but it does keep the noise down.
The aswer they came up with was 42

It also helps that the shuttle system, including boosters and the external tank, is a heck of a lot lighter than a Saturn V.
I think they invented the flywheel already.
