Some musicians use only electronic equipment to produce their sound, particularly in the electronica genre. I personally love this kind of music. The concerts often involve them doing their best to reproduce the sound they make in the studio, and with some of these bands using thousands of samples (see: Boards of Canada), their "concerts" pretty much involve pressing play on their computers.
I don't think it's right to demand that an artist MUST be able to perform well live to receive compensation. That's just elitist and limiting.
A plasma doesn't behave like a black body, so the blade would not become "whiter" as the plasma got hotter. The plasma of choice would have a couple of visible spectral lines (depending on the gas you ionize), and making the plasma "hotter" would just make those specific colors brighter. You can doubly ionize and even triply ionize the gas, but these transitions typically fall out of the visible range.
Also, the magnetic field by itself would just constrain the particles to the axis of the saber. There's no guarantee that the stuff you vaporize will fly away from the handle, it could just as easy fly towards the handle. I would guess that there's also an electric potential keeping the plasma from melting your hands.
Is not FORCE people to use.xxx. Just make it a choice. Then whoever is offended by porn can simply block out.xxx, and they can at least block out a good portion of the porn sites out there. The reputable sites (Playboy, etc) will probably switch, so you'll at least clean up the internet a LITTLE bit. I think doing this would be better than nothing.
I dunno what company would release a game that needs to SOLVE ODE's on the fly...I imagine you'd solve the equations before-hand, and put them in a nice form where all you need to do is multiply/add terms. If a company wants a cloak to behave realistically in their game, I'm sure they just find the proper coefficients in development, and all the game has to do is crunch the numbers on the fly.
If it's a rocky world and has roughly the same density as the Earth, with 13 Earth masses, the force of gravity is going to be 13 times as much on the surface as it would be on Earth. If it's MORE dense than Earth (which I think is likely), then the ratio is even higher!
According to the little blurb on your link there, only 59% of people agree with not using enormity to mean "big." That's not a terribly overwhelming majority.
I'd agree with you if iTunes for Windows was anywhere near as smooth as iTunes for Mac. The fact is that the OS functionality (being built on BSD, the widgets, spotlight, expose, etc) is what keeps me on the Mac platform. Not to mention that all of Apple's applications would suffer since their functionality is meshed with the OS to varying degrees.
They lose me as a customer, plain and simple. Their hardware is NOTHING without their own software to complement it. I'm sure I'm not alone in this, and Apple must know that. Apple currently has a niche market where they are able to charge more for basically the same product, because they can offer the all-in-one package the other vendors can't. They're making BANK from people like me who are loyal to the brand.
It's more than form-factor that moves Macintoshes. I hope Apple is smart enough to realize that.

...to make the mail modular so that people of different sizes can wear the armor without the need for re-forging.
I believe that one and a half cores, sideways-threaded, is the way to go.
I totally crushed a beer can with my forehead after watching those cars get smashed at the end of the second linked video. ROCK ON!
Oh wait, you said Methanol...well, we can still get totally wasted off of that, broseph!

Slightly...

I think the most frightening part is that half of your list hasn't even appeared in the thread yet...

It was 6.7 million bucks for the satellite, a whopping 6.7 / 300 = 2.2 cents per person in the United States.
Well, I can think of a way:
Put the device above your head, set to match the Earth's gravitational pull. Voila, zero net force.
I'm Excel spreadsheet cell AGY2834!

Oops, I was thinking 13 times the radius. My bad. Heck, I even typed "mass."

...that Gob would approve.
That's amazing! I have the same combination on my luggage!

Sure, just be sure the account has the same password as your admin account. Otherwise I won't be able to telnet the SSH to ping your gigabyte.
I wouldn't hang out with Jupiter for a while...it's "that time" of the millennium, and its a little cranky...
We used to WoW together: Him a 60 priest, me a 60 warrior. Then that rat bastard rolled on my Brainhacker, and I squelched his ass!
That poofy green hair and ugly brown suit still haunts my nightmares...
