How close would the spacecraft have to be to the comet in order to achieve orbit? At just 2.5 miles long, I don't suspect its gravitational pull would be very significant.
According to TFA, a tiny transceiver can be built into the plastic plug base of a USB cord. Of course, one has not been spotted in the wild, but it sounds theoretically possible.
I understand that the moon is tidally locked with the earth. What I don't understand is why the moon's movement is described as being "such that the same face is always facing the Earth." It appears to me as though the same area of the moon is being constantly lit by the sun. Doesn't that mean that that "face" is always facing the sun? I am not trying to be argumentative nor refute Cassini's Laws. I am just trying to understand the meaning of "face" in this particular context.
According to NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco, who was interviewed on last night's McNeil Lehrer News Hour, the oil entering the Loop will have minimal environmental impact in other parts of the Gulf. She opines that "By the time the oil is in the loop current, it's likely to be very, very diluted. And, so, it's not likely to have a very significant impact. It sounds scarier than it is."
I partially disagree. As I see it, the value of alternate parties in a two party political system is that as the ideas of a third party become increasingly popular, the platforms of the two major parties shift their agendas to appropriate the issues that have drawn voters to that third party. Whichever major party can most effectively adjust their platform to accommodate the 3% of the voters who feel that the Loony Toon Party's issues are important to the health of the country can win an election if the margin of victory is 2%. In my view, supporting third-party candidates can be a quite effective means of initiating change within the two major parties.

Maybe things are changing.
I totally get it now. Thanks, folks.
Now to get over feeling like a total ignoramus.

I thought the Earth's moon always presented the same face toward the sun. Am I totally misunderstanding what this means?
We ditched cable over 2 years ago. A $40 digital antenna, $80 USB tuner and a spare PC. Couldn't be happier.
That may be the metaphorical finality: $no_answer == no
But he always answers! Sometimes, the answer is "no".
I see the US PsyOps team have all created /. accounts ..
But how many mod points do they have?
How do hearing impaired people address this problem? How about something visual?
But then again, the visually-impaired may become targets.
They certainly are. Or they can rent space on an existing infrastructure.
I think the idea seeks to solve the problem of falling revenue. Selling data collected by sensors could be a potential revenue stream.

It seemed to me that a disproportionate damage award may have been the strategy all along, given the performance of her attorneys.
Just who is it that has logged in the most consecutive days in a row?
Only blue nations should be allowed.
And I always figured that this packaging would end when someone hijacked a plane with it.

that's my mom you're talkin' about, you insensitive clod!

IIRC, it is not unlawful to wander around completely naked in Vermont. Oddly, it is unlawful to get that way in public.
Last I checked, Vermont was still within the United States.
How do you "do" software?
This only makes sense if there is a petition to sign asking him to KEEP making movies.
And does it really matter? Nobody has to watch the movies he makes. Let the market decide.
