Reading through the rest of the article, it seems the aerobrake would be used at the end of the return journey, to get the LOS into a similar orbit to the ISS - i.e. in Earth's atmosphere.
I suppose they could try using aerobraking to adjust the orbit around the Moon, but given the extremely low density of its atmosphere (someone more knowledgable can provide numbers...), it's unlikely that it would have a noticeable effect.
SOLDIER #2: Wait a minute! Supposing two pigeons carried it together?
SOLDIER #1: No, they'd have to have it on a line.
SOLDIER #2: Well, simple! They'd just use a strand of creeper!
SOLDIER #1: What, held under the dorsal guiding feathers?
SOLDIER #2: Well, why not?
If you think that's good, just wait until next week, when the Vice President of RBC will reveal that he's the father of Darl Mcbride, shortly after slicing his hand off.
Actually, let's not pursue this analogy any further, in case SCO somehow manage to destroy the Death Star^W^WIBM...
I don't see how it violates the settlement, unless they prevent Windows users from using other music services. As long as you can still play the other stuff on your computer, there is nothing to stop you choosing whichever service you want. So they are not using market power to tie people in to their service.

The author of the article has no clue how MSN search actually works. MSN search returns only sponsored results first. There are 16 sponsored results and then if you go to the next page you see:
True, but it doesn't actually say that anywhere - it just says "Results 1-15 of about 16 containing linux windows". Also, there is a 'sponsored links' section on the right of the page, separate to these 15. You need to click on the 'next' button to see "Results 16-30 of about 8898833". Which is an abysmal design decision, if nothing else.
It's both -that's the point. The summary says that the "new machine in Japan" (which we know nothing about) is not the same thing as the "new, China-only system" (the iQue)
I've seen a TV that claimed to be able to fake surround sound by bouncing directed sound waves off the walls at different angles. Of course, that one only would have worked if the TV and the viewer were in certain places in a rectangular room.
In software, why not something along the lines of "such and such paid for this feature", an eternal mention of one's contribution to the project.

Unfortunately they used Diebold machines for the scoring system, so this came out as

Does it have "The Moon" written all the way through?
Using Google's image search, I have uncovered pictures that are clear evidence that these people use child workers to assemble these reactors.
N.b. I would mirror these myself rather than linking directly, but the only web space I have is on a friend's ADSL connection.
