Let's not forget the 4004, which was designed for the Busicom calculator in the early 70s, but ended up being used in other applications, including the SIM-4 microcomputer.
If they used flubber, they wouldn't have any need for fuel. Just make the ship out of the stuff, then drop it onto terra firma from the tow plane; it'll then bounce into space.
It's doubtful that the Earth's helium supply will last much past the end of the 21st century - and yes, this is true, even with people using helium to lift balloons.
Yet another reason to develop fusion reactors; they can replenish the helium supply.
Well, the only things you need to accept to figure out special relativity are the Pythagorian Theorem (from HS geometry) and that the speed of light is constant.
Yes, but the streets will already be torn up by the quake. Also, they'll have to repair water/sewer/gas anyway, which all run underground, so the digging will be done regardless of where the power lines are.
Then, there's the famous nanoseconds that Grace Hopper used to pass out. They were little pieces of wire an inch(?) long that represented the distance light travels in 1 nanosecond.
More like 1 foot. The speed of light in vacuo is almost exactly 3E8 m/s, so in 1 ns, it'd travel 0.3 meters (1 foot is 0.3048 m).
Actually it should be HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\D efaultTTL -- CurrentControlSet can map to either ControlSet001 or ControlSet002.
No one would ever make an ATM without that paper roll inside (or the receipts printed for the customer)... I honestly cannot think of any valid reason not to do so, except to deliberately enable fraud. The printers aren't expensive.
Well, the ATMs at my bank ask if you want a receipt, a fairly new innovation within the last year or so. I suspect they're trying to get customers accustomed to not getting receipts -- after all, printing that little piece of paper adds a fraction of a cent to the cost of each transaction, lowering the bank's potential profits.
Also, that the reason why the Germans didn't have a nuclear bomb is because the allied forces destroyed (after a first failed mission) the heavy water factory in Switzerland (I think it was in Switzerland, not 100% sure) that was fundamental to the bomb design.
The facility you refer to was in Norway; Switzerland was neutral in WWII.
So in the end, its mathematically impossible for me to catch the girl.
Another illustration of this principle:
Q: How do you distinguish physicists from mathematicians?
A: Put them at one end of a room, with some girls at the other end. The mathematicians won't go to the girls, because they know they'll only get half as close, then half again as close, never quite reaching them. The physicists, however, will go to the girls, because they know they'll get close enough.
Note that several varieties of digital watch (e.g. Timex IndiGlo) contain tritium. Of course, you'd need a shitload of watches to get enough to do anything useful, but that's what eBay's for.

Put it in one of these, add an appropriate amount of rum, and enjoy.

That room temperature is 300 K (about 27 degrees C, 80 degrees F). A bit warm by US standards, but not unbearable.
Not yet, but give Ashcroft a few days...
no, they'd only need the one.

Surprisingly, Chrysantemum seeds work against roaches. We set some out a while back and the roaches dissapeared.
Not so surprising; chrysanthemums contain pyrethrins, a natural insecticide.

Some recent theories challenge the latter assumption.
Apparently World War IV is being fought with smart bombs.
No, ^ is the bitwise XOR operator -- the bitshift operators are >

Neutrinos, I believe, count as WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles), the current prime candidate for just what makes up dark matter.
Come on, everyone knows that dark matter is the excrement of Nibblonians.

Well, your ISP will probably try to keep you from surfing for porn if you don't get it fixed.

Especially since the Germans already have an entire line of Mars pencils.
Also the O2 XDA, sold in the US by T-Mobile. It's not a Smartphone, but it is WinCE based.
A friend in the UK has one, and swears by it; it'll probably be my next phone, unless MS Smartphones hit the US market before I'm ready to switch.
Google begs to differ.
Good luck getting your hands on tritium.

Several years ago our neighbor gave us a decent size mint plant. By the next day, my doberman had eaten the entire thing except for the root ball.
Well, maybe if you brushed his teeth occasionally, he wouldn't have to devour entire mint plants to freshen his breath.
