A further challenge is how to formulate the evaporating paint. The ideal material would lock up large amounts of a light gas like hydrogen and only release it at very high temperature, when the high speed of the gas molecules would maximise the recoil.

When asked whether people should be allowed to express unpopular views, 97 percent of teachers and 99 percent of school principals said yes. Only 83 percent of students did.
Instead of blindly attributing these figures wholly to decreasing awareness and lack of liberty in schools (I'm not denying these causes), I think that age and maturity (or lack thereof) are likely to skew the results. Most teenagers have "bigger" issues to worry about, personal problems, relationships, relationships, etc which take a higher priority in their lives than something as far removed (atleast at that age) as the constitution. Should it be this way? I don't know...but I certainly think the raging chemicals/hormones at that age certainly clouds up one's thinking.
It's likely that adults, who've pretty much settled down into a stable life (teachers/etc) and have been acquainted with politics, and other such "adult" topics for a while would be (atleast I hope so) more concerned about these issues.
Google's search statistics may be regarded as a similar but more accurate poll because of the much bigger sample space.
The problem is that their statistics are biased towards brands/corporations which have a bigger web presence (eg Amazon, etc) which occur in their "Top Consumer Brands" category. Hence companies like Cemex, Samsung etc do not figure in the Google Zeitgeist.
On a related note, SCO seems to be proud it figured in the Google Zeitgeist. The following quote from the "news" on their webpage (couldn't find permanent link):

Since then I realized that two wheels are redundant, and only a single wheel is needed to make a ridable vehicle. A vehicle with a single wheel is much smaller and lighter.
Yeah man....I've realized something....those 4 wheeled busses are a pain to ride in. Can't get any damned seats anywhere.
I need something smaller and lighter...like a 1 wheeled bus. That'll surely be painless to ride in and easy to carry around.
For the uninitiated, Brainfuck's a Turing Complete language with eight language statements, each consisting of a single character:
> increment the pointer.
+ increment the byte at the pointer.
- decrement the byte at the pointer.
. output from the byte at the pointer (ASCII).
, input to the byte at the pointer (ASCII)
[ jump forward to the statement after the corresponding ] if the byte at the pointer is zero.
] jump back to the statement after the corresponding [ if the byte at the pointer is nonzero.
I'd post actual code, but the/. filter is fucking me up.
Q: Is it possible to hide files from the program, by changing their name or extension?
A: No. The program uses advanced binary recognition, locating all known multimedia file types and P2P applications, regardless of their name and extension.
Q: Does the program distinguish between legal and illegal copies of multimedia files?
A: No. The program does not distinguish between legal and illegal copies. It is up to the user to determine whether the files found by the program have been acquired legally, or if the material should be deleted.
So they claim they look for something like magic numbers/headers to detect "multimedia" files...but beyond that, it seems incredibly stupid.
parents can talk with children about the legalities of peer-to-peer activity
parents having a "little talk" with their kids about P2P activity:
Johnnie: Daddy, where do MP3 files come from?
Daddy: Johnnie, Mom and I are going to have a little talk with you now.
Johnnie: Okay, Dad.
Mommy: You know Johnnie, there's something you need to know about MP3 files and P2P clients.
Daddy: When an MP3 file meets a P2P client, something very beautiful happens.
Johnnie: What's that Daddy?
Daddy: It's called File Transfer, son. When a beautiful MP3 file meets a nice, young P2P client, they start exchanging packets and then a new MP3 file is born.
Mommy: But you have to remember, son...bad things can happen if MP3 files and P2P clients do not take proper precautions during the File Transfer. Then they can get infected with Spyware and Viruses and die.
Daddy: You'll understand this better when you grow up, but always remember that we're here for you if you need us. And always remember to take proper precautions during File Transfer.
The President of India Dr. Abdul Kalam is a nuclear physicist, and a renowned scholar who advocated open source in a speech given at the Indian Navy's Weapons and Electronic System Engineering Establishment last year.
Richard Stallman also visited the President and interestingly, the President had prepared for the meeting by downloading and reading Stallman's biography from the Internet."
For the curious, the President of India's website runs Apache/PHP on Linux.
Unfortunately true....

but with his wild long hair and odd behavior, he doesn't fit in with the suit-and-tie crowd. During speaking engagements, Stallman often adopts the persona of "St. IGNUcius," donning a robe and a halo made of a computer disk.
Having RMS walk in in his St. Ignucius getup is enough to make anybody lose their lunch...not just the suit and tie crowd.

Why does Mrs. Kroes appear so pissed?
And is there a developing spark between Bill and Jon?
