All the copies available from tv stations are of inferior quality. The original magnetic tapes were in some obscure format, with much higher contrast and resolution, compared to tv tapes. In fact, all the material had first to be converted for tv broadcast, and NASA engineers admitted that they lost lots of quality due to improper brightness settings and so on.
if you mean runtime error 200, this can be fixed. your computer is just too fast for some borland pascal crt unit's delay calibration routine. inofficial patches are available at http://www.brain.uni-freiburg.de/~klaus/pascal/run err200/download.html#TpPatch, tppatch.zip.
There is only one situation for color printers to print an identification barcode, namely if someone tries to counterfeit money. Most color printers do this, usually in a very pale yellow which cannot be seen with bare eyes, but easily recognized using UV light.
Just to clean up some myths about hydrogen powered cars:
Myth: In an accident, the whole car will blow up in a giant fire ball. Reality: Hydrogen is a highly mobile gas molecule. It is also much lighter than air. This leads to very quick dissipation, and normally, the lower combustion limit, which is 4.0 volume percent in air, is never reached.
Myth: Fuel cell powered cars are always more efficient than ICE (internal combustion engine) cars. Reality: Not always true. Fuel cell powered cars lose efficiency, if temperature gets higher, due to the entropy of the hydrogen oxidation. OTOH, ICE engines are limited by carnot cycle efficency. The higher the operating temperature, the higher the efficency. Cross over (the temperature, where combustion is more efficient than fuel cell) is at approx. 900 degC and 70 percent theoretical efficiency.
Did you read the thesis at all ? In there, it is explicitly stated that epidermic temperatures at extremities like hands are between 26C and 30C. Thin silicone oder gelatine layers lower the temperature by max. 2C, so it is well in the accepted range.
a 747 in full flap configuration can be slowed down to 210kt (approx. 340km/h) IAS fully loaded, and close to 140kt (approx. 220km/h) IAS empty. the maneuverability is a little bit limited, i.e. bank angles over 25 are forbidden. no steep turns are possible, so it takes over 1 minute to do a 180 turn.
>What effect does this kind of dump do to the >aerodynamics?
If you keep the center of gravity in the middle, the impact on aerodynamics is not so bad. But with lots of liquid on board, this can be quite difficult, as the liquid moves during flight. So either have lots of small cells containing the liquid, or make sure that all maneuvers are well coordinated. NO straight climb up then.
Basically, you don't want to use aggressive chemicals as fluorine or hydrogen peroxide in some large aluminum tubes (aka aircraft). Al is pretty stable in oxygen, due to a thin oxide layer on top. Fluorine destroys Al in a matter of seconds.
This depends on the reflectivity of the mirror. If it would be 99.999%, only some 10W would get absorbed by the missile. Un(?)fortunately, it is not possible to make mirrors with such a good reflectivity across all possible wavelengh. Especially in the IR range, it's quite difficult to make mirrors with >98% reflectivity. And I suppose the laser will be in the IR range.
Thats why I didn't give the whole sources.list line. Even though it may work, choosing only some packages is way more effective and also beneficial to system stability...

With debian and apt-get, thats easy. Just choose from one of the many sites offering testing or unstable backports for the stable distribution (I recommend www.backports.org), add their site to/etc/apt/sources.list, do apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, and you are finished...
Yep, it does... Citation, pic 15: "The JoyDress is integrated with flexible vibrapads that vibrate by programmed impulses from a thin, user-controlled command pad connected by tiny wires. It enhances the feeling of body consciousness with pleasant sensations that energize feelings, stimulate blood circulation, and give you a gentle massage."
Especially for Firewalls, it is a good idea to use (modified) live-CDs. This way, everything is stored on a read-only filesystem, even in the rare case of a BSD remote root exploit, a reboot fixes everything.
In one paragraph they cite NASA scientists saying that these sulfates were "definitely" formed in standing water. In another paragraph, the newsmag says they might have been formed there. Whatever, it sounds pretty definite.
German newsmag "Der Spiegel" has the story: They found a certain kind of iron sulfate compound, which forms only in bodys of standing water. Discoveries were made using the MIMOS-II Moessbauer spectrometer and the APXS x-ray spectrometer. Images are available in the article.
Don't the astronauts have to do EVA anyway while doing the Hubble service ? I mean, they should be able to spare 10mins for checking the shuttle... No reason for a second EVA.

With NT or W2k domain security, it certainly does.
Their site seems to rely on javascript and ASPX heavily. I seriously doubt that these technologies will help creating a larger market share...

I guess, because the beam is not focused there ?

Probably at the closest army recruiting office ?
isn't that why some older OS treat time() as signed int ?
