Your analogy is silly. Running carrying a wardrobe is also hard work - but distance running is not the only measure of fitness, nor do most people need to run long distances on a daily basis. I have done marathons at a BMI of both 25.6 (3h45) and 23.6 (2h59). I was much better at distance running for the 2nd one at lighter weight, but I wouldn't say I was fitter. I was in great shape for the first one; it just so happened that I was doing the marathon "for fun" - I could do under 7 minutes for 2K on the erg. By the time I did the sub-3hr marathon, I doubt I could have broken 8 minutes on the erg. Horses for courses. Try using a racehorse to pull your wagon and see how far you get with it.
I don't know anything about submarine design, but I suspect a large part of the design is driven by the requirement to be as quiet as possible. A submarine also needs to withstand significant pressures.
All modern aircraft I have ever seen have the pointy bit at the front
The energy to stop a falling box of people is nowhere near the same energy it takes to get it up to where it fell from when you're dealing with high speeds. Aerodynamic resistance is signficant even on a bicycle at 30mph, never mind a space reentry behicle.
The atmospheric drag does work both ways. But on the way up, a rocket presents an aerodynamically efficient profile - i.e pointy bit first. On the way down reentry vehicles go what you might call butt first, presenting the most aerodynamically *inefficient* profile possible.
On the safety count, those of from the UK think that the US driving test is a joke too...
Regarding the environmental issue - yes, 10 million cars being bought in India will increase global pollution. We can solve this in two ways. Either prevent the Nano from being sold anywhere, or ban the sale of cars which achieve less than 40mpg (the Nano gets 60, so I'm giving the US a break here).
a) Prohibition against downloading code b) Inability to download and install an app using the legal APIs c) Prohibition against doing anything that bypasses Apple's 30% cut.
Wait - if an app loses your data, do you seriously expect Apple to do anything more for you than give you a refund for the app? If you do, you're dreaming. The backup process is there for a reason.
As far is the developer is concerned, Apple may pull their app - or even cancel their developer agreement. But that doesn't help you. The only accountability that exists is in knowing whose fault it is. That doesn't get you your data back - or compensation for it.
The amount an employee gets paid is generally about half of what the true cost to the employer is, after deducting employer's NI, office space and equipment, benefits, and other expenses.
I rewired my own kitchen perfectly legally. I had to pay 100 pounds to the local Buildings Control Office who sent someone round to look at it. He knew very little, but it was pretty clear to me that he was really there to figure out if I knew what I was doing - if he got a bad impression, he'd send an electrician round.
Part P has got a bit of a bad press, and certainly bad implementation by many councils. I'm not saying it's a good idea, but it isn't quite as idiotic as a lot of people make out.
They don't even need access to your phone. They just need the number - then they can send an SMS through an SMS gateway and specify whatever sender number they like.

Reality: If that were true then the typical H1-B would a Nobel prize winning scientist. The truth is, the typical H1-B is an average student, hired right out of college with only a four year degree. The typical H1-B is no more qualified than the US graduates who are not getting jobs. The H1-Bs are just cheaper. And because of the lottery nature of the H1-B process, employers do not even know who they are getting. So how do employers know that they are getting the best and brightest?
Also, isn't it funny that almost all of the "best and brightest" come from countries where people earn as little as $1 a day? If it's really about the "best and brightest" then why aren't there more European H1-Bs?
Myth: The best and brightest want the best-paid job.
Actually Europeans quite like working in Europe, not the USA, where the language and culture is quite different (even for people coming from the UK). The pay differential is not sufficient to make up for these problems, hence you get more applicants from poorly paid countries than from Europe.
So 26.7mph is fine - great, but I'd like to see a tiger run at 26.7mph uphill (at 55 degrees!). That would be vastly more impressive than 35mph on the flat.
2kW @ 9000EUR means 120W comes in at 540EUR, or 900AU
The OP said it would cost 1000AU. So "Next time please don't pull prices out of your ass" feels a bit harsh - and who's to say that panels aren't cheaper in Europe?
I'm pretty sure the only embedded processor my dad (58) uses is in the telephone, and that's only because I gave a him a digital model with answerphone to replace his old one. He doesn't have a microwave, I seriously doubt either his oven or washing machine have a processor in. He doesn't have an ATM card; he gets money out at the till. Partly because he's a builder, and partly because he wouldn't trust an ATM card (and given this is a slashdot, are you saying he's *wrong* there?), not to mention that he'd probably find it very hard to remember a PIN.
As for medical devices, you generally have someone use them on you, you don't use them yourself, unless you guys in the US regularly conduct your own ECGs or something? (I'm in the UK).
He knows of the existence of email and has asked me to send some for him in the past. But he didn't realise that I could email someone while they were away from home.
Now this guy has a degree from Cambridge University, and speaks two languages fluently and two passably. So let's say he's above average...
Now, how do I explain to my dad what I do at work?
It's true that there are mistakes in every hand-written Torah, when it is first written. However, it is written without the vowels and cantillation marks of the Masoretes. Consequently, whenever anyone reads from it, they have first to learn the text. If anyone reads aloud from a scroll and makes a mistake they are corrected, and they have to say the correct text before continuing. This means that mistakes will eventually be corrected - once a mistake is found, the scroll cannot be used until it has been fixed.
The consequence of this is that an old regularly used Torah is very error-free. A subsequent copy will have errors, but will also detect errors in the original, because the scribe will be intimately familiar with the text. Consequently the contents mutate at every rewrite - but are corrected throughout the lifetime of the scroll, and the mutations *do not necessarily propogate*.
Caffeine can have positive effects (though not necessarily mental) for non-addicts. It's been shown to increase endurance, and is a regulated drug in athletics, as a quick google for "caffeine running" shows.

I just read the abstract (I know, bad form on slashdot...). Admittedly it's only the abstract, but it sounds remarkably like an abstraction layer.
