i think you've also got to consider the cross section of the TiBook and the bike. the TiBook would suffer from reduced carrying capacity due to deformation and a *very* large bredth(pardon my english don't know the english jargon). the bike would be quite happy with the (near)circular shape of its braces.
as for alu the 7000 seies(don't know of the 8000 though) have a tensile streght of about 600MPa, and itanium alloys 900MPa++

i don't think the titanium frames in your bike is as thin as the plating of early TiBook's. anyway the frame of a bike is constucted in a way that's supposed to absorb the loads of biking. a laptop in the other hand is just a slender beam, with thin edges. pick it up on one side and see the cool effects of yealding metal. as for the alu frame: yield strenght of mild steel: 210 GPa yeald strenght of alu(alloy): 60-70 Gpa
angeling this story at space exploration was kinda lame. these ROV's sound great, they could be used for exploring the oceans(you know the big ble areas on the map). like this:
We already know more about our solar system than we do about the oceans. this discussion will soon drift into a 'when these ROV's come to europa' thread.

Great! now i'm actually beginnig to think most of linux users(me included) are realy cheap bastards.

DU is not very radioactive. but Uranium is toxic(heavy metal). During the impact uranium is vaporzed(giving the round a self sharpening effect). dust/smoke with fine grained uranium oxide in it will be in the air. I for one will not breathe in that air(the us army knows that and warns troops about aproacing armor recently knocked out with DU rounds, or so i'm told), kinda like the nuclear tests when troops where exposed to radioactive dust.

we already have this thing in Norway. the stores have to charge buyers a recycling fee. this applies not only to computers, but also TV's, fridges... etc. the fee is intended to cover the store's expenses since they, by the same law, are recuired to take the consumers old equipment and recycle (properly dispose of) it.
"You have to make it easy for people or they won't do it.
