we should not believe anything that Kim Jong Il says without adequate proof.
While your statement is true overall, I don't think it is true in the context of nuclear weapons. Everyone already knows that North Korea has more than a few nuclear warheads. In this case, by announcing that he has them, Kim Jong Il is playing a deadly game of chicken.
Sci Fi Channel has promoted the dickens out of BG whereas UPN has done little to promote Enterprise.
The first time I saw the new BG was when Sci-Fi's parent network, NBC replayed the 2003 mini-series in early January. In all fairness to UPN, they simply do not have the audience or the money that NBC has.
Since here in the US, the show is only about five or six episodes old, you really haven't missed a ton. BG is a really good show, but missing one episode is not like missing an episode of Lost or 24, where missing an episode can result in missing a major plot twist.
Even so, if you really are interested in the early shows, though, I heard that Sci-Fi just re-ran all of the episodes on Tuesday night. I am sure that at some point, they will re-run them all again.
The AC explained it better than I could (a picture is worth a thousand words). But, even if the probe came in straight on as it does in the top picture, it would still have a horizontal component. In that case, the horizontal component would be zero, or null.
hat we have equipment sensitive enough to track a probe's position to within *1* km all the way out on Titan...saying it seems rather bland but when you think of how many millions of miles away it is, I think it's pretty remarkable.

One of the backups, in this case, is the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope. I imagine that the telescope is located on Robert C. Byrd Highway, down the road from the Robert C. Byrd FBI Fingerprinting facility and just around the corner from the Robert C. Byrd Memorial High School.
Man, the Esteemed Senior Senator from West Virginia sure does a fine job of delivering the bacon...
Instead they are going to call it a galaxy challenged star.
The Mayor Star of the Milky Way decided to form a committee to review the causes of "Outcast Star Syndrome". That committee, which will be composed of various leaders in the Star Community, along with interested Asteroids, Planets and Comets, will interview other Stars that have, through no fault of their own, also been cast out of the galaxy.
In six months, the Committee will issue a report that includes recommendations on how we can prevent Outcast Star Syndrome along with a 12 step program to re-integrate former Outcast Starts into the entire Milky Way community, with the hopes that they will become productive members of the community again.
I think it is too late for that. They are almost in the position where they will have to be broken up. It's going to take something on the level of IBM hiring Lou Gerstner to bring H-P back to where they used to be.
3000 Square Feet. Two Stories, Full basement. House is two years old (new furnace). Two zones (upstairs and downstairs). With a toddler in the house, my wife usually keeps it around 68 or 69 degrees F. And, no, that cost during the winter is not all that unusual.
Please see my post here. No need to shout. It is my fault for being too quick to hit submit, instead of clearly pointing out my counter-arguments. I should have taken the time to submit a point correctly.

then by the same argument, I suppose you have no problem moving your family within a couple of miles of a coal-fired power plant?
As I posted elsewhere, I live in Pennsylvania. When we aren't breathing in soot, we are gettting acid rain from the various coal-fired power plants in Ohio and Indiana. As I also posted before, has anyone considered Natural Gas fired plants? AFAIK, cheaper to build than Nuclear. And, cleaner (again, AFAIK). Yes, your gas bill is high already, but that's the price you pay for (relatively) clean power.
Have you looked at your gas bill recently? Could you imagine what electricity would cost if we were using natural gas to create it? Sorry but nuclear (especially if meltdown "proof") would be the way to go.
Yes, it averages over $300 a month during the winter. But, since the last I heard, a nuclear power plant runs well into the Billions, how much do you think it would increase your electric bill to pay for a new Nuclear Plant?

Seeing as Kim Jong Il has more than a few symptoms of mental illness, I would say that: Yes, we should be more worried now that they have admitted it.

In other news, Darth Vader is Luke's Father.
Politics is so weird. An announcement that tells us something we already knew becomes big news.

I think it would be really useful. While you drive, you can now:
Watch the projector,
Comb your hair,
Change the Radio Station,
Talk on the mobile phone, AND
Flip off the moron that just cut you off.
All at the same time.

Everything that falls from space has a horizontal component to its descent.

In the OP's defense, I think map24 has just been slashdotted...
While I'll give you the last two, I do have to question the term "nice company". The "niceness" of a corporation depends upon your point of view.
That is really, really funny.

There's an idea. Carly needs a way to resurrect her career. She could get herself thrown in jail for six months. Look at what it has done for Martha.
