If you don't have any friends, then every e-mail that you send will come up as a false-positive, and you'll be blacklisted forever. I wrote up a good e-mail to SomethingAwful, too, only to have it returned with a spam score of 1.2!
There are already patents on Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. They're #3, #4, #5, and #6, respectively, right after 'patents'(#2) and the 'time machine'(#1).
That's why you have to pay a third of your income to the government every year, for the use of those elements.
Is to ask yourself if you'd trust the mascot of your software to look after your computer when you're away.
Seriously, would you trust an alligator NOT to tear it open, smash the monitor, shred your CPU and motherboard, eat the harddrive, and then camp in the toilet waiting for a slice of your juicy rump?
If you answered yes, then keep Gator on your machine.
On a side note, I don't know if I'd trust a penguin, either. If I was gone for more than a day, I'd return only to observe to an arctic tundra, with hot steam pouring out of the case as the penguin pwn3d n00bs at Quake III on his overclocked P4 6.0Ghz.
Not only that, but he also changed the passwords:)
My mistake. Ten G's is the limit for highly trained pilots wearing special suits. I thought NASA astronauts were tough!:)
A powerful rocket can easily do 50 G's, and get into space with minimal effort. (ICBMs get excellent mileage) With 3 G's, though, a ridiculous amount of fuel is used just to keep the shuttle a floating platform, while a small amount accelerates it into space. The fuel hardly has enough power/Kilogram to keep itself up at that rate. It's a good thing that NASA is finally getting around to fixing it. It'll lower costs for the space program all around, especially if they don't smash more $100 million equipment.:( (http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid= 1029 9)
is a great idea. Modern shuttles require massive amounts of fuel to get into space because they have to "slow down" for the crew. Humans can only take about 10 G's for prolonged times and still be able to control the shuttle. The shuttle has to stay within that acceleration, spending a huge amount of time in earth's gravity. An unmanned cargo ship can accelerate at 20 G's and even more, spending a fraction of the time fighting gravity. More cargo can be shipped with less fuel, less risk, and cutting costs. The manned shuttle will only have to carry the weight of life support, fragiles, and astronauts.
(Just be sure not to put all your oxygen tanks and scrubbers in the cargo shuttle. The astronauts need some too.);)
This discovery has many useful applications in space, as well. When the dish is facing the sun directly, you will get much more power than you could get on Earth. This has a wide area of applications, including: 1. Laser tag! (sports) 2. Water heater (relaxation) 3. Space surgery (medicine) 4. Blinding sattelites (punk activities) 5. Putting materials under extreme heat stress(science) 6. Cook food/paste (very handy) 7. Mini steam turbine (energy) 8. non-contact soldering with auto shut off (no mistake repairs) 9. It sounds very light, too (cost effective) 10. Blasting space dirt (national security) NASA should definately throw this on the next craft and have some fun.

Lord Refa: And why would I accept your corn, Molari?
Molari: Well, 1. Because I asked you. 2. Because you're part of the U.N., and obliged to help your people. and 3. because I poisoned your food supply.
Refa: What?
Molari: Yes. Remember those planes flying overhead? They were planting seeds containing the first part of a two part poison. If you don't accept our demands, I'll see to it that the second part is added. When the two meet, they have a little party in your cardiovascular system.
Refa: You're insane!
I think you get the point. I LOVE Babylon 5, and applying it to any situation
