of course as a grad student he probably has a research assistant position, which means tuition + stipend... the stipend isn't terrible, but just barely enough to get by in the overpriced cambridge housing market..
noo.. many viruses jump species. percentage-wise, maybe not a lot.. but off the top of my head... smallpox.... i think the bubonic plague was transmitted to humans from rats... AIDS is believed to have originated in monkeys... and then there are non-viral pathogens like the prions that cause mad cow's disease... so it isn't that rare at all

far be it for me to spoil your little delusional daydream...
first, as far as the olympics go, "dirty trick"? it was a questionable call, and while you'd hope that the koreans wouldn't have reacted so negatively, they did have a gold medal taken away, so you can forgive them for being a little upset. btw, the american winner ended up being disqualified in a later event for doing the same thing; i don't know if you can call it a dirty trick.
second, the every soccer commentator outside of spain that i've listened to says that the goalie moving past the goal line on penalty kicks is a rule that has never been called. in fact, the spanish goalie was doing the same thing.
what calls did korea have for them when they beat poland? portugal? the u.s.? there were certainly marginal calls in the game against spain, but the italians were just whiny losers. diving is a legitimate penalty. and besides, how many people were complaining when france (first round losers this year) won the world cup on their home turf four yrears ago?
yup they have it for sunos 5.8. runs like crap though, nonnative widgets and look-and-feel, constantly freezes. oh, and it crawls slower than ns4 on solaris.
Or you can use one that already exists. The intro computation structures class at MIT uses JSim, which I believe is based on Spice libraries and will let you simulate circuits from the MOSFET or the gate level. The final project is to design a 32-bit microprocessor, the Beta, if memory serves me correctly.
I think you're very wrong about this. Say you need to service the Hubble. How do you do that without the shuttle? The movements that need to be made are too delicate to be made with a robotic arm, and the ISS, with its big fancy arm, is relatively immobile in terms of its orbit. How do you propose the ISS would have been built without the shuttle? Sure the Canadarm I is remotely controlled from within the shuttle itself, but then you have spacewalk after spacewalk to do the actual connecting of the components. And you still haven't told me how you propose to return satellites, modules, or experiments to Earth without the shuttle.
In about five years or so, there are plans to bring the Hubble Space Telescope back to Earth. I think it's more for nostalgia than anything else, but how do you expect to do this without the shuttle? Soyez is a fine vehicle for transporting astro/cosmonauts into space, but what if you want to do more than that? Repair a satellite? Launch a probe? Those require specialized equipment, something that you would rather not just use once, like a robotic arm, and you need something other than a manned capsule.

Isn't that 11B for ONE PLANE? The $15B was to rescue the US airline INDUSTRY. How much money did the EU give to Airbus over its lifetime?
yes, and an ampere is one coulomb/second.
