Pacific hurricanes would be Typhoons... with the exception being the US tradition of referring to eastern pacific storms as hurricanes which are rare because the eastern pacific doesn't have the warm water currents to feed storm systems.
You must have had your tv turned off the saturday sunday prior to the storm making landfall, I must have heard it said a dozen times a day that the president approved the disaster declaration on 9/2
There wouldn't necessarily by 15psi pressure difference. Humans can operate at 4psi in an 100%(ish) oxygen atmosphere. This kind of pressure is easier to contain in a spaceship or mars habitat.
The original design was going to use the same hydrogen/oxygen turbopumped engines in the boosters, they switched to the solid propellent to same cost. Although the solid propellent has a lower ISP, it works because they removed the weight of the turbopumped engines from the booster.
Turbopumps are only necessary for a luquid fueled engine at lower altitudes, lift the rocket through the atmosphere with a solid motor and then switch to liquid propellent after that and you can use much simpler engines.
That paper seems to make the argument that complicated is better without really explaining why.
Many papers have been written about how inefficient (in terms of weight to thrust) turbopumped engines are. It's even been said that the only reason the shuttles main engines burn from lift of to booster separation is that the thrust is needed to lift the turbopumps which wouldn't be necessary if the main engines were ignited at high altitude (ie booster burn out).
No, a hybrid motor may not take Spaceship 3 all the way to orbit, but bear in mind this kind of engine can have an ISP similar to solid rocket motors but has the advantage that it can be throttled / shut down and restarted.
It's not impossible to reach orbit with this kind of engine, it's just somewhat inefficient in terms of payload capacity for a given fuel load.
That's not quite accurate... when a store owner opens a store he is issuing a general invitation for people to shop at his store, provided they enter with that intent there's not really much he can do.
You could be accused of trespassing if you enter the store with intent to steal or otherwise do something incompatible with the above general invitation.
He wouldn't get much sympathy from the courts if he decided to physically eject you from the store for being black if you had the proper intent when you entered.
And microsoft pays several hundred $ per X-Box more than they charge for them... the aim being to recoup this cost by selling you games rather than charging you twice as much for an X-Box.
Probably won't though... they publicly threaten judges who disagree with them, but don't really care what the agencies do, usually because they appointed all their buddies to run the agencies anyway.
Talking of fedex, they just sent me a postcard in the mail to ask where I live so they can bring me a package. I had this crazy idea that they'd deliver the package to the address on the label but I guess hat was too easy.
oops I meant to say that the control positions were reversed between subversions of the aircraft. This is bad in interface design because conditioned responses tend to kick in during stressful situations.
Pilot error comes up a lot in investigations... there was a 767 crash in England that was blamed on pilot error because the pilot shut down the good engine instead of the bad one. One thing that came up in the investigation was that boeing had inexplicably reversed the positions of the left/right engine shutdown controls.
So while the verdict was pilot error, clearly user interface failure was a major contributor.

Isinglas is the most commonly used modern fining for traditional beers : http://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/item876.htm
It's some part of a fish dissolved in a mild acid. Good thing it sinks to the bottom with the yeast:-)

hah ... now i'm getting my weeks mixed up ... make that 8/27

You beat me to it, I was going to ask the same question. I hate the use of the word recently to refer things happened more than a million years ago.
You need two more likes and a ya know in that sentence.
you'd burn up if you tried it in the atmosphere.

Actually all that happens is wage expectations get pushed up in the rest of the world so there's no long term gain to offshoring work.
... now they're asking $800/day.
I talked to somebody the other day who could get programmers for $40/day in eastern europe a year ago
Then I gues CDs don't really work.... bummer.
So now we're not even linking to TFA ... i guess that's one more reason people won't read it.
Aluminum glass was invented last year ... search for it.
Poker isn't a house banked game ... the players play against each other.

Sorry forgot to hit the preview.

You get electricity by fedex ?

Submit it again, maybe they'll post it tomorrow :-)
Beer is usually packaged in dozens or multiples thereof, occasionally in half dozens.
