Interesting that you associate Neil Armstrong with altitude records. Granted he is one of the elite few who have stood on the moon, but was he the person who made it furthest from Earth? After all, all of the astronauts orbited the moon, and thus were farther away than Armstrong's landing site on the close side.
There once was a poet who was born John,
Who looked for a word to rhyme orange on.
He searched every dictionary,
including ones fictionary,
and he absolutely failed to find one.
No, I don't believe that. I don't care. When I go to the movies, I go there to be entertained, not to have a science lesson. Frankly, when the heroine has turned purple, bubbly, and has grown three extra tentacles because she was pricked by a flying space cactus on a planet 354 light years from here, and the hero is caught in a time bubble and can only escape by convincing his great-great grandmother to purchase SCO stock, hearing space explosions is the least of my worries.
Sure, there's no sound in space, but there is EM noise, shrapnel banging against your hull, subspace warp fields collapsing, and who knows what else. Sounds are just Hollywood's way of presenting these phenomena in a way we can interpret.
I like the way they did it in Space 1999. When the crew was watching a space battle on the viewscreen there was silence. When you were really there, then there was sound.
Oh to blazes with Shatner. Just use the motion capture techniques that brought gollum to life and skin a real actor with images of Kirk from STTOS. We have the technology, let's use it.
An 8inch floppy holds what, half a meg of data? It should have been moved to 3.5" floppies long ago. Same with the paper tape. Keep your data current.
If you really need the data, I'm sure you can find a conversion shop somewhere.

It will take a couple of days for the Earth to pass through the comet trail, thus every longitude will have the opportunity of viewing the show. I can't speak for latitude. If the comet was coming from above the earth's orbital plane as it headed sunward, southern latitudes would be out of luck for most of the show. Gravity might bend a few your way though.
In your example "wrong" is used as an adjective. "Mistake" is not an adjective. In my example, they are both nouns, and are interchangable. That is not to say that the sentence isn't clumsy and awkward, just that it is syntactically correct.
I guess that means that human therapists are trained to not listen to their own conversations or use logic and common sense. And it's no wonder healing rates are equal; compared to Eliza, almost any psycho would seem sane.
One thing to keep in mind is that the grains do not line up from frame to frame. So even though the grains represent the physical resoultion of the filmstrip, they do not represent the resolution that could be interpolated across multiple frames of the same image.
I had a sensible DSL based ISP as well, then I moved. I'm around the corner and down the street from where I used to live (but still in the same subdivision), but I'm now out of range for DSL:-(
The point for me would be to punch a hole in a draconian acceptable use policy. Many broadband providers to not permit you to run servers, and frequently they will run portscans to find violators. With this technique, they could portscan away, and I'd still be able to access files on my home machine from outside. Pesky broadband monopolies.
What they do is have propellers on the front of them. As they move, the propellers spin in the air. This in turn drives a generator, and the power is supplied to the drive motors. The newer ones have air scoops to improve efficiency.

What has that got to do with someone posting his robots.txt file here?
Sure, post it. Stuff like that might make Slashdot useful. At least it will gain you some karma.
But there are other languages like LOGO that are better teaching languages than BASIC.
Your program won't work. When line 50 is executed editors=0, but you have no line zero.

People have been using parachutes for years.

There's nothing wrong with that sentence. "Let them know their wrong"=="Let them know their mistake"
Unfortunately, those two conditions are ORed together, not ANDed.
They're going to make Darth Vader look like George Lucas??
The "zeroth law" was not built into robots. It was an extrapolation made (I believe) by R. Daneel Olivaw and another robot.

We went over the pole.
They haven't make cars without seatbelts since 1967.

I'll give your iptables trick a try.
Oh, He's just one of those people who accidentally turns things to max volume instead of turning it off.
