If there is a repulsive effect, it probably is a resonance effect of orbital mechanics. For example, an object near L4 when attracted back toward the planet would be pulled into an orbit with a smaller radius and thus tends to orbit faster than the planet and moves away from it.
However, the "death trap" viewpoint is somewhat different from this one:
"The canyon begins at a depth of 50 metres and falls to 5,000, making it one of the worlds largest submarine canyons. It is a fascinating area that annually attracts pygmy blue whales, drawn by an abundance of krill. During summer, as many as 20 whales may be found at one time at this site. The whales eat up to 10 tonnes of krill a day and we want to find out whether there is a correlation between the presence of the canyon and the physical oceanography and the biological productivity of krill."
The poster mentioned Amtrak, so is in the USA. All the things which one thinks are better are always being done in Europe. In European countries, all the things which one thinks are better are always being done in the USA.
And I'm in the USA, so I know that the latter must be true.
"Having spent my very first flight ever next to an apparently friendless salesman from Fargo, ND, let me tell you I would much rather have had him blathering over VoIP than at me."
Plug a headset with a microphone in your laptop and pretend you're using VoIP, so the adjoining salesman won't interrupt your three-hour-long phone call.
"blood-colored showers that fell sporadically across Louis's home state of Kerala in the summer of 2001"
Note the word "sporadically".
It seems just a tad peculiar that something extraterrestrial hit Kerala several times, but not anywhere else. Comet fragments were arriving exactly at 24 hour intervals, so as to hit the same spot as the Earth rotated?
No. It costs too much to pay the holder of the patent for dropping stuff from above. That's why we only have two rovers on Mars, because NASA couldn't afford more.
The article mentions users can report cheating with feedback. Probably some kinds of cheating are difficult to detect, and some are not technological cheats. When someone is reported as being a cheater, that should give them a significant probability (10%? 20%?) of Matchmaking placing them in a game filled only with other cheaters. That keeps them out of the way for a little while and gives them a learning experience. If they come out worse... repeated reports of cheating should increase the probability of getting cheater games. And some "cheater games" should have Bungie monitors and probably also special Bungie hosts machines.
What kinds of cheating is not technological? Stalking or harrassing a teammate instead of getting the token/bomb/flag, offering to tell opponents where teammates are in exchange for not being killed, teaching about the map (three players climbing a trail in a corner) in a public game instead of playing the game, quitting early so teammates quickly become outnumbered, screaming so nobody can hear useful information.
It will just take a while to get there. Weapon systems are robust. Of course, we don't know when they detected us so we don't know how much time we have to set up defenses.
Slashdot Mirror
200 comments and nobody mentioned that already China intends to mine the Moon.
Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_fo r_arbitration/Climate_change_dispute_2/Workshop#Pr oposed_Principles_and_Facts_by_SEWilco and that this was ignored so the Arbitration Committee could do what it first wanted to do. Including one decision which was not discussed, and my being told during Arbitration that it was best if I "quits making a big fuss" instead of participating in the Arbitration case.

Nice in theory. But I've been blocked and restricted from Wikipedia for adding references.

None. The Enterprise has antigravity and repulsors.
At least the Grammar Police are here, "dyslexic".
Maybe it was like the force of 27,000 bombs rolling down the side of the mountain.
If there were curtains at ground zero, nobody has reported them moving.
But it may have been curtains for them.
Apparently if I fly naked I'll save enough time to get there before I leave.
It's more functional when the Shuttle tank clears the launch tower.
It is XML. It uses OWL.

This commentary seems critical of that politician.
Keep an eye on Slashdot's DNS entries...

Try Template parameters.

That explains why there are so many plates spinning around our atmosphere.
This is a simulation, not a competition.
These are scientists at work, they've been doing science stuff for years.
