For carbohydrates, a peeled potato is placed in your underwear in contact with the perineum, which you must shave regularly. Irregular shaving will not suffice. For extra boosts, a Krispy Kreme glazed donut is taped to the underarm area (also shaven).
If protein is needed, The DOD can administer the ARB patch, which is an Arby's Regular roast beef sandwich taken rectally and held in with aluminum tape. Hold the horsey sauce, trust me on that. An alternative for vegans is pending, and may consist of a topical whole-body application of peanut butter. Most test subjects prefer the slick creaminess of peanut butter. Chunky is unliked by most. Unfortunate side effects sometimes occur when the user is confined to a chemical warfare suit for extended periods. Female servicemembers just get a blimpie in the woo-hoo.
WHY YOU INSENSITIVE FUCK. America gives people reason to hate it. For example, America is rich. People hate that. America has a representative democracy. People hate that, too. America has premarital sex. Everybody hates that. America is a powerful nation. People hate that shit, man! People want nations that do things for everyone else, not those who act in their own damn best interest all the fucking time! Like France. Every time something bad happens, France moves their entire country to the disaster site and rebuilds it all in nine seconds with this masssive WHOOOSH sound. Canada does that, too. Selfless Canada. WHOOOOOSH! That was the sound of Japan flying overhead because they heard that there was going to be a Pepsi-syrup spill in Argentina. And lets not forget all the economic aid to developing nations that Switzerland gives out! BILLIONS of dollars of aid to Mexico just for being poor! And African countries like Zaire! Why, when the United States was attacked by terrorists, Zaire sent every bulldozer and front-end loader to New York just to help clean up! REALLY, THEY DID!

This information doesn't allow COPYING, you dolt! It allows the user to run software other than MS code on the XBOX. The XBOX is a piece of hardware. You are allowed to reverse engineer it, modify it, hot-rod it, or throw it into the trash. You can light it on fire, even. I just can't fathom where this justifies the DCMA. Can ANYTHING justify the DCMA? The XBOX is a PC. The XBOX linux projects and DEV projects are just exploring hardware they have purchased legally, and are not doing so to build a competing product.
They are doing it so they can install their own software on unmodified XBOXEN.

Gravity is instantaneous. If you punch a trampoline and then withdraw your fist, even distant points feel the force at exactly the moment you punched the trampoline. However, they cannot move until the trampoline fabric moves in a ripple. That's what's wierd about relativity as I see it. The effect of an action can contain no more energy than the energy of the action plus any energy released by the action.
To demonstrate that space behaves like an elastic fabric AND that effects of "gravity" have no time, I suggest comparing the ripple created by punching a trampoline with the effect created in the next illustration: Fill a rigid tube with similarly rigid balls of a very slightly smaller diameter. at one end, add another ball. You will notice that the ball at the end of the tube falls out at the same moment you added the new ball. This would be true even if the tube were 10 billion miles long. (the problem then would be difficulty of accelerating all of those balls at once diring any new-ball insertion) The neat thing is that space has no mass, so deflecting it is easy. Doing it requires no energy. If you could magically create a 10 lb bowling ball at the center of the trampoline, the ball and trampoline would deform at 9.8m/s but in a spacetime curvature it happens all at once. Objects and other stuff in space is limited to c, so they don't all drop at once.

but there IS no gravitational "field". Gravity does not exist. Space simply deforms around massive objects. Gravity doesn't travel. It just appears to exist. If you were teleported away from the earth in zero seconds( instantaneously), the EFFECT of gravity would seem to disappear instantly as well. If the earth were suddenly removed from underneath you, it would feel exactly the same way. If a distant object were removed instantly, the gravity from it would also disappear instantly. Space would lose its curvature, but would travel no faster than c. This means that the effect of gravity upon space, as we can see it, would appear to travel at c or slower, while the actual forces at work deforming space would disappear in zero time. To describe gravity as existing in a field ignores the fact that every object bends space in a fashion that exists at all points in the universe, but more of this effect is detectable near the object. It's as if you had a tablecloth stretched way out until its surface was perfectly flat, and then placed a single grain of rice at the center. You may not be able to detect the curvature, but in reality, every point on the tablecloth has been deflected to some degree. There is no longer a plane. There is a curve with a smaller radius at the rice, and approaching an infinite radius at the edge. It will NEVER reach that point where it is flat. The size of the tablecloth is irrelevant.
Well, you can't just speed up. You have to go through a wormhole where one end is anchored in spacetime and the other is free to move. (not easy). you simply pop in and back and you appear to come out before you entered.

I worked for BFGoodrich Aerospace for three and a half years working on command and control and telemetry boxen for NASA and Boeing et al. It is expensive because of several factors:
1. Every piece of hardware must be EXTENSIVELY tested. Not just one, but every piece is tested exhaustively prior to shipment. This includes temperature analysis, vibration, and a host of other things. To even close up the box prior to testing you have to have three witnesses: one from your company, one from the government, and one for the company who is purchasing it to bolt onto their launch vehicle. Mission critical systems also have a level of redundancy you don't find in a VCR. I mean, we did the LAN hubs and bridges for the International Space Station. They're coated in shiny nickel plate and are good for 10MB/s. that's it. No fancy 1GB stuff. That box cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. But people's lives are at stake.
So put an ion rocket on the dad-blasted thing and move it to a more stable orbit slowly. Why not? Oh, and if it loses two miles a day, I would estimate it to fall from 250 miles in much less than even one year. I'd say a month or less, because if it were dropping at that rate, it would also be losing speed at a pretty good rate also, due to atmospheric drag. This would accelerate every day. So if it's now losing 2 miles a day, it would be expected to lose 3 miles a day by around next week, and six miles a day a couple of days after that...Even without taking acceleration into effect, it's only got 150 days left until it hits the earth, and I would say the last 50 miles would happen REAL quick- like an hour, so 100 days would be more like it- I think it must be losing less than 2 miles a day. If it is, it's fscked.
In the 1950s and 1960s, NASA took big risks. Their missions were run at the risk of total and complete failure AND loss of life. No such ballsy ambition exists in today's bean-counter administrations. Now everyone lives in total overwhelming fear of everything- their food, the gun in their closet, pollution, global warming, impotence, male-pattern baldness and premature ejaculation. America has lost its balls. No longer a country of constructive malcontents, it's a country of emasculated whiners. They sue instead of kicking the shit out of the bad guy. They complain to their therapists that they were picked on in middle school. John Wayne would kick our collective asses if he could see what we've become. So would I if I wasn't such a pencilnecked pantywaisted crybaby.
You have to understand that 20 million US dollars is quite a bit of money when compared to Russian money. Things are cheaper there, and the Soyuz is a mature spacecraft. It was designed to ferry the MIR teams to and from orbit, and has been adapted for use at the space station as a return vehicle for emergencies. There are no R&D costs associated with it, and the manufacturing processes are finalized. This is why 20 million US is more than enough to push the soyuz production into the black. It may not represent the full cost, but it's a sizeable amount, and its loss will hurt the program.

Is dump the PowerPC architecture and make the Mac standards a controlled subset of PC architecture. The reason their systems have inherent stability is that Apple has ultimate control over what constitutes a Macintosh computer. Microsoft has no control whatsoever. Lets face that the Intel/AMD solution is far superior to the RISC environment for computational tasks. They can build their own hardware and motherboards, perhaps a solution involving a SMP hybrid with a PowerPC slot for mac native binary compatibility, and an AMD Hammer socket for raw computational goodness. If they would build a machine that was superior at EVERYTHING, who could resist- being able to run a lightweight windows and MacOS on different processors would rock- especially if the two could hand off data with no lag. Just a concept at this point. IANAHEOD (I Am Not A Hardware Engineer Or Designer), but it seems an ASYMMETRICAL multiprocessor machine with a motherboard capable of determining the optimal processor for the given datatype would simply be a supercomputer. Why does MP have to be symmetrical? Why not have two vastly different processors, each one with its own strengths? You could have the Mac G4 chip handle GUI and the Hammer handle the backends!

It was probably something way less exciting and far less glamourous. And how many people are REALLY killed by "butcher" knives anyway? Most butchers only use cleavers. That triangular PSYCHO knife in your drawer is called a "CHEF's KNIFE" but that just doesn't sound as ghastly. If it bleeds, it leads.
