Like the type dumped into the atmosphere by the Space Shuttle since 1981? Lets not worry....but now that the shuttle is nearly is nearly at an end and non-US space flights are ready to start, let the complaints begin! Sour grapes anyone?
Not a time travel nitpick, more of a goof. Marty received a latter at the end of BTTF 2, but at the start of BTTF 3, it has turned into a map showing the location of the DeLorean and the schematics to make a new time circuit out or 1955 components.
...oh yes, just remembered. If you really want any book to sell, you will need to buy an ISBN. Without it, you'll be lucky if reviewers will touch it. You'll be limited by publicity on the internet and word-of-mouth, which are poor ways to sell a book.
A friend of mine writes the occasional book, but the scare stories he told me put me off. His books sell for about £15-20, but for every 1000 sold, he gets £1000, which is pitiful. Yes, I know publishers have to proof-read, typeset, edit, bind and distribute, but they're making most of the money from some one else's hard work. So, I decided to try the ebook route. My book sold OK and I offered to distribute it via email or on CD, but it wasn't making much. So, after advice from people that they wanted a physical copy, I am now selling my book as a paperback from Lulus (initially I tried the Espresso book machine, until they increased page costs 50%). It is now selling a lot better though my profit margin is quite a bit less. My advice is: people seem to prefer a physical book to flick through, rather than an e-version.
"For example, when the system detects that the user has leaned back in his or her chair, the system automatically makes the currently playing video full-screen. Lean forward again, and the video returns to its previous windowed mode."
Does it also provide a barf bag in this sea-sickness inducing mode?
He got a new body when he has some powers of the Keeper of Traken remaining. I think he got more lives as a "thank-you" for his help in the Time Lord vs. Daleks Time War.
Douglas Adams once said, after he had provided yet another version of The Hitch-Hikers Guide To The Galaxy (radio series, book, TV series, several abandoned movie scripts, stage version, LP etc.) that he was in danger of becoming his own word processor. Now Lucas has realised that he doesn't need to make new films, he just re-releases old ones, he's fallen into the Douglas Adams trap: he is his own video editor.
I got a reconditioned Dell OptiPlex GX240 for £50 (from http://www.cambridgecomputershop.co.uk/ ) and even though Firefox is a pain in the arse, Ubuntu 10.4 runs more than adequately on it.
I recall how a group of researchers sometime between 2000 and 2002 had developed ultraviolet fluoroscopy recording, which coupled with a multiple layer disc (7 layers?) could hold massive amounts of data. What happened to that? It was reported on slashdot, sometime between those years (I can be sure of that because of the flat I was living in at the time)
People talk about Google missing out a version number so that they can keep up with IE. Not only is this argument petty and absurd, its not true. Chrome versions 1-6 have been showing up on my statistics for a while now.
As long as the ISP exist in a country where copyright holders are revered, this won't work; the ISPs will be shut down faster than you can blink. The only key is to host such ISPs in a country that doesn't give a toss, and then hope that they aren't shut down, or the ability to connect to them is severed...
But those of us who were around when the programme kicked off in 1999 got a bit peeved when it was found that we were processing
the same workunits over and over again, and then there was the "problem" when it was announced that the clients weren't optimised
for the scanning algorithms. A lot of people packed their bags and left the SETI@home project. Myself? I got a little annoyed when it was announced that new ideas for searching through the data were announced...and we'd have to start all over again. Lets hope that whatever is organised next time is a bit better, well, organised:-)
There is a man who teaches other blind and partially sighted to "see" objects using echo location. He clicks his tongue and waits for the response. I know, it does sound unlikely, but he is extremely good and was featured on one of UK magician's Derren Brown's "The Events" shows last August or September.

Is he from Scottland? Oh dear, Google maps tells me there's no such place!
Perhaps those malicious pests at Allen and Overy will stop hassling me about my article, Long live the Streisand effect.

Oh, and heres my book if you want a copy!

He should have thought about fixing some of the massive goofs in Titanic first!

When you said Missing Episodes, I thought you meant these http://www.paullee.com/drwho/
Fictional Predictions? Like these: http://www.paullee.com/ghosts/bookofpredictions.html
What about The Tomb of the Cybermen, or The Macra Terror, or any of the other omissions? Why don't these count?

Perhaps we'll get a repeat of the Titanic disaster?
Don't use your work email for private and personal stuff. D'oh!

Will there also be a sandbox to prevent another shite Adobe product causing my browser to flash?

"NASAs desire to cancel Constellation"? Is this the Obama-led NASA, as I was under the impression that NASA wanted to continue with the programme?
As if being fixated with our own farts isn't bad enough, now we intently study microbe's trumps...and use them to spot life on other planets! *sigh*
