"The shuttle and the International Space Station are not helping us. They do remarkably little science--and, as far as I can see, next to none that could not be done by unmanned missions. Like vampires, they suck NASA's entire budget dry."
People who want robots to do the work in space and see no need for humans miss the point - we have no need for humans because of our lack of ambition.
"This [going to Mars] is what we should be doing. Such an adventure would resonate with a world beset by wars and woes. It has a grandeur appropriate to the advanced nations, who should do it together."
I disagree. At the risk of sounding jingoistic, I believe that nations should compete with another to explore. This competition is the only way to foster space exploration until space becomes commercially viable.
Last point. What was something on Iraq doing in a space article?
I'm glad I've only had teachers who accept they are wrong. Just yesterday, an AP Physics teacher gave this question on a test:
Compressing a gas increases its temperature because -
A. Increased number of intermolecular collisions B. Atoms bounce off of the compressing piston with more energy than they had before (3 filler options)
Anyway, it took me fifteen minutes to explain to her that even if collisions were perfectly elastic, they couldn't give the molecules more average kinetic energy than they started with (6th grade conservation of energy!). She thought choice A was the answer while she was setting the paper!
For many years computer scientists have been proposing protocols to improve the efficiency of distributed computing systems, but Park asserts that his method works with greater efficiency for time-critical applications. The current protocol is generally known as the Order-based Deadlock Prevention Protocol, according to Park.
Please. Respect the death of the astronauts and possibly, of the space program. Space exploration is the one quest which unites all of us, so this loss is especially tragic.
This is a step forward for DivX. I don't think most normal people know much about DivX though - perhaps this will help. Did any of you know there's even a DivX dev kit for the GameCube?

Oh yes, and 10,000 lb. mammals are very easy to lose, especially when they are constantly being studied.
Let's not let users see comments!
review in a phrase.
That was my point. I agreed with him.

is tracking and catching violaters. How is the state govt going to find enough people to trace each spammer through his various overseas links?
Aren't priests not supposed to drink and stuff? Or am I just misinformed?
Joke - She mistook the shiny laptop for a baking pan. And removed the stains with peroxide.
Serious-Her young kids/any young kids in the house put it in the oven and she turned it on for something else.
CO2, definetely. Drive around in traffic with your window open. See how much more often you yawn.
1. A spoonful of dry sugar works for many.
2. My mom taught me this - get a glass of water, then hold your breath and take 8-10 little sips, swallowing after each one. 80% success rate, for me.

Just turn out the lights, drink a few dozen beers, or even just close their eyes?

I'm sure many here have never heard of this guy, no matter how brilliant or famous he is.
I'm thinking things that help you fold as you fold. "Sink here...Not like that, idiot."
That's a great first step. What we need to do next is:
1. Find renewable energy sources
2. Plant forests and create 'superforests' - massive C02 removers
Please. Respect the death of the astronauts and possibly, of the space program. Space exploration is the one quest which unites all of us, so this loss is especially tragic.

You misspelled the guy's name after ~20 comments about the very same error were posted? It's Carmack, dammit!
some good programs of this sort for Windows?
I'm from Ohio and I don't even know how the game is played!
