"Unless they are working on their ability to HIT the asteroid"
Do you think that could possibly, maybe, somehow be a large part of what they intend to achieve with this experiment ?
Having not studied this asteroid in a lab and not having 100% accurate schematic diagrams of it's composition and architecture it would actually be very hard to predict exactly what will happen when it's hit by a probe and would therefore be interesting to see what does in fact happen.
No obviously if you aren't distributing copyrighted items then you aren't infringing any copyrights. My point was that it's not illegal to download copyrighted stuff, just to distribute it.
I would imagine that provided you kept the regulator in your mouth you'd still be able to breathe but you wouldn't be able to control your bouyancy very effectively and might either sink or float to the surface. If you sank you probably wouldn't realise your air had ran out until it was too late to do anything about it.
As it stands I would say not, maybe there is a correlation between the movement of ice caps on Mars and the Earths climate but there is certainly no proof of that from these discoveries.
Indeed, I am forever being told to bugger orf when I ask those nice young men on the street corner to go and pursue their drug habits and theivery in a different neighbourhood.
Why sometimes I am mortified to be asked to "Hand over your demmed lucre you filthy varlet lest we run you through with our pocket knives". Luckily the nearest bobby is usually within hailing distance and will pursue the young urchins out of the parish, if there are any more bobbies within whistling distance I will often derive some satifisfaction as the whippersnappers are given a good clip around the ear and sent home to their parents for a sound thrashing.
I can't see how fucker is less offensive than bummer.
Calling someone is a fucker is simply recognising their normal hetrosexual functions whilst calling someone a bummer implies they are gay which is likely to offend to people who aren't.
Feersum Enjin by Iain Banks climaxes with the hero ascending the space elevator in a vacuum balloon and climbing the last few stories using the stairs. In this case the elevator is a huge giant tower and is definitely not based on anything which could achieved with our current science. It is however an excellent book.
I believe that the elevator is mainly anchored at the geo stationary orbital position so if the lower half of the cable was destroyed the bit which wasn't would continue hanging where it was. You would perhaps need some mechanism to maintain the balance at the orbital end and ideally to manufacture new cable which could then be lowered back down to the surface or something.
I'm not sure about that, the device in Contact was fantastically expensive and neccessiatated the creation of hundreds of entire new industries. It was so expensive it could only be built on a global basis.
"Who is getting it right in the first place? electric universe has the better track record here"
Oh yes, the Electric Universe were certainly bang on in their predictions of what that probe which crashed into the comet would discover weren't they ?
But hang on I just double checked and in fact they were totally wrong.
Perhaps Ortiz has already discovered the object, heard Brown talking about what may have be the same object and decided to check whether or not it was so guage when he should publish his finding to avoid being beaten to it by the newcomer Brown.
Heres an idea, rather than spending all this time worrying about the kid being instantly corrupted and turned into a pyscho killer the moment he claps eyes on an adult video game why not bring it up so it can cope with that scenario sensibly ?
What ? No way !!!!! Really, can you really do that ? That is just so amazing !!!!! I'm a power Office user and I never even new about that before !!!! I am blown away !!!! Wow !!!!

Star Wars is much much better without the sound. It's better still if you turn off the picture as well.

Even if you did download it I don't think that's illegal. If you then went on and distributed it that would be illegal.

Peaches, is that you ?

It's certainly a handy explantion for why even though everyone comes from the same two ancestors a lot of people speak different languages.
Unfortunatley it's a lot nonsense and not the right explanation.

"but in the long run somebody else will offer a full function cell with mp3 capability"
They already do, it's actually quite hard nowadays to buy phones which don't have this functionality.
