WTF has a Church Committee got to do with this anyway? There is supposed to be 'Separation of Church and State" as part of the constitution. (And which Church are we talking about anyway? Catholic? Lutheran (ELCA) Southern Baptist? Methodist etc
Does the IAU even have jurisdiction over other star systems definitions of planets? Since they (the IAU) don't even live in the other systems. I think its up to the (aliens that live there) to name them.
I have.mp3 tracks that last upto an hour, and others that are less than a minute. Using a song as a measure of data storage is silly, even worse than using football fields or states of Rhode Island for linear or area measure.
Maybe they would use 140 bytes (a tweet or SMS) as a standard
But all of slashdot should know that a KiloByte is 1024 bytes and a MegiByte is 1024 Kilobytes
Yes, when I went into the Verizon stofe to get a "charge cable for a Dalaxy Npte 3" they told me they didn't stock them, and that I should use a microUSB cable, it would just charge slower. But I found that the USB3.0 cable that came with my USB3.0 hard drive would work fine. And with the Samsung cable the side of the connecter that has the samsung name on faces towards you when you're looking at the screen of the phone. .
And what gave the British the right to set up colonies anyway? The (Amer)Indians were here first... (well long before the British, French and Spanish anyway. The Vikings also reached North America before the other Europeans... Say who founded Russia in the first place?
I'm sure Chris and his appointees at the port authority would love to have the GWB shut down for a day so that the presidential motorcade could get across
"So - these are Chinese spy satellites? Given the region, hasen't the US got similar facilities in zone?"
You know that satellites don't orbit above a fixed point on the earth. (well except for geostationary ones that are 25,000 milrd up, and generally you want your spy satellites closer than that..
" How low does a plane need to fly to "drop off the radar"?"
That depends on how far away from the radar it is. Sonce it was pretty far away, I would expect the radar not to be able to see it if the plane dropped to below 10000 ft, which the crew would try to do if there was sudden depressurization.
Both of the subway's in this town are above ground, at least the part where you go and order is - there might be some food storage areas in the basement or something.

I dunno, I haven't read a recent issue. Their science (fact) articles used to be pretty good though.
The trouble with SF magazines is you have to wait a month for the next installment of a story. (though for short stories they are OK)
And the Kindle suscription is apparantly more costly than the paper magazine.
Do you want to be a wirehead

I remember that song, by Paul Walden
The B side was the legend of Hinemoa and Tutanekai
"Franklin D. Roosevelt, yet another democrat got us into World War 2"
I thought the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor and sinking all the battleships had something to do with it.
I hope they get things sorted out before the last weekend in July
when the Hungarian Grand Prix is held
The media would have to get release from all the spectators.
When will we get a drive that can hold an actual Googol Byte (Ten to the power of 100)
", I mean the actual standard that just about every other scientific and engineering enterprise on the planet conforms to)"
If they (industry, science and engineering) followed the actual standard, then 1000 Kilograms would be a Megagram
and also we wouldn't have batteries with capacities like 2000 milliamp-hours - it would be simplified to 2 amp-hours
At least in RAM a gigabyte is 1073741824 bytes
Of course with SSD some space is reserved to replace those blocks that have worn out.

Someone call Harrison Ford
The walls were enhanced with rock weed, and mosses from the silurian epoch

Not only had they found life in the water, they had found a flowing guide to the centre of the earth
(Rick Wakeman's version of Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Earth)
Yep. Just like "wiki" is Hawaiian for "wiki."
And in Maori (another polynesian language) Wiki is a girls name. (short for Wikitoria)
In New Jersey, Tesla should hire Wolff & Samson as their lawyers.

The trouble with americans is that they think there is only one. (Math)
But it is plural - Mathematics
In the rest of the world its called Maths
