No new fuels? Both Ares I and Ares V use solids and LH2/LOX. About the only better performance you're going to get out of chemical rockets is LH and Flourine... even more dangerous, difficult to handle and expensive.
Although I think they should have gone with RP-1/LOX for the first stage... sure, hydrocarbons are less energetic, but you save a lot of tankage mass due to the higher density. In a perfect world we'd have a tripropellant motor that switches from LOX/RP-1 to LOX/LH and strap-on RP-1 tanks that can be jettisoned when empty which would possibly be a nice compromise.
Then again, designing a such an engine would likely result in tradeoffs such that neither fuel is burned very efficiently.
I'd guess that the symbiotic bacteria and fungi in and around the roots are similar or dissimilar, and that's the basis upon which the plants appear to discriminate.
I need to run and email the AACS-LA people. I don't in any way want to promote the distribution of this evil number, so I'll modify my blogging software to automatically delete it if a user happens to post it.
I'm sure their lawyers will be more than happy to provide me with the code for this worthy pursuit.
Just to be sure, maybe I'll delete every string of 256 bits that could possibly be XORed with another to yeild this naughty number.
Does your email providers terms of service permit you to provide USER/PASS to any third party, for any reason at all, barring a court order to do so? Probably not. I look forward to you confessing to them and cancelling your account to save them the trouble, as it looks like they'd certainly be within their rights to do so.
And I'd support them in it.
The problem isn't facebook per se - or any other service that may in fact be honorable in their intentions. The problem lies in the desensitization that such requests create.
The terms of service of the email provider almost certainly specify that you not reveal your password to third parties (with exceptions for subphoena, etc.). Those that do so should simply be deleted.
I'm interested in what happens if a person lives in a state that doesn't "comply" and a citizen of that state receives a suphoena to testify in a trial at a Federal courthouse. I suspect there will be a wiver system available only to witnesses that the govenment likes.
...to decline to speak to them. Not only has the FBI looked the other way when informants murdered people, they can't even (apparently) keep confidential the identity of informants. If I knew of a crime occuring and feared for my safety in reporting it, the FBI would be the last organization I'd approach.
Google just makes a policy that they don't index any site that even once sends such a request. Problem solved.
More seriously, maybe an extension to robots.txt that defines cache lifespan would be reasonable.
If your clients are so damned (self) important, this is what charter flights and private aircraft are for. I don't care that a multi-million dollar deal is in the works, unless I have a piece of it. Nor does the existence of such a deal make the other person "special". Speshul, maybe.
If they're foolish enough to place themselves in the air when such things are hinging on "a moment's notice" then perhaps they need to find a new line of work. I have a stable that needs cleaning...
That would be called "counterfeiting", although I think your use of the word "forgery" is appropriate: both are forms of fraud, in which one represents something as something that it isn't.
Nobody is misrepresenting a shared MP3 as anything other than what it is: an (almost always) imperfectly duplicated unauthorized copy. Is that wrong? Sure. Is it theft? No.

Actually I took the "not entirely successful" to be a reference to the TOS episode The Ultimate Computer, where (when discussing the M-5) Kirk asks Daystrom (the inventor) about M-1 through M-4. Daystrom responds that they were "not entirely successful"
I thought it was funny, playing one of the cheesier TOS episodes against the extremely cheesy Plan 9 From Outer Space
Since the municipality and not the policemen involved will be the ones paying any fine, it needs to be high enough to deprive the police department of things that the cops on the street want. When Officer Smith has to keep his old, ratty patrol car for another year because Officer Jones was an asshat, Officer Jones becomes unpopular. Peer pressure is powerful.
Only (b) or (c) could possibly apply here, and the Court have decided they don't.
The present administration would likely argue that the following also apply:
(a) We'll require fine print on the ticket where the consent is "given" (d) "Preventing terrorism" is an "important public interest" (e) Safeguarding the plane is a "vital interest" of the data subject
I don't think those hold water either, but arguments could be made that were less convoluted than some we've seen out of the DOJ in the past few years.
In the cases at hand, the "good number" was the so-called "gang of eight" - Chair and minority leaders of two committees in each legislative body. By definition, these are people with a lot of seniority who are so entrenched in office that they don't need to be responsive to the voters or face serious challengers in either the primaries or general elections.
And while they may be briefed on classified programs, they are forbidden to raise a public stink about them, even if they feel those programs are illegal. This is not genuine oversight; it's a charade.
Sorry, lynx_user_abroad... I should have reloaded before posting.
Mods... please mod up lynx_user_abroad and don't mod mine at all unless you have points to waste on self-acknowledged redundancy. I wish we had a 5-minute "Retract post" option...

I tip my hat to you. I haven't laughed so hard in weeks. Senator Stevens, of course, is the biggest boob.

Best Solution: AOL, GMail, etc delete the accounts of those who provide passwords to third parties in violation of TOS.

Yes, there are hundreds of small islands that no government is asserting control over. How silly of me.
