But you don't have to have swinging doors. Entryways that have overlapping panels, more like heart valves, could be used instead, where the internal air pressure holds the doors shut.
It depends on how much air loss you can tolerate vs. material cost (including cost of transport, and not just in and out of a gravity well). Permanence of the structure is a factor too. A long term settlement may have more frequent ingress and egress than a survival tent.
When referring to the Moon, the "dark side" is the far side of the Moon, i.e. the face that points away from the Earth (due to its period of orbit being the same as its period of rotation (and its rotational axis being essentially perpendicular to its orbital path)). It isn't "dark" as in "no light"; it's more akin to "the dark ages" except more like "it can't be seen from here" than "there is no recorded history".
For more practical purposes, it is harder to communicate with a lunar base from Earth if it is on the far side as transmissions get blocked by its mass. Communications go "dark" without a repeater outside the limb of the Moon that can see both the base and Earth. This also makes dark-side lunar bases good for radio astronomy: the RF noise from Earth is blocked.
Inflatable tents on the Moon were done in the movie Moontrap in 1989. It starred Walter Koenig (Pavel Chekov, Alfred Bester) and Bruce Campbell (Ashley 'Ash' J. Williams) and was used for a sex scene between Koenig (as Col. Jason Grant) and Leigh Lombardi (Mera) on the Moon.
None of this applies to RIAA's actions in this case. Threatening you with a civil suit for the commission of a tort is not a crime; it happens every day.
Threatening you with a civil suit for the commission of a tort is not a crime when all you demand is a cease and desist. Demanding monetary compensation I would think would be a different matter. If not extortion, how about blackmail? "We know you've committed a crime. Pay us to keep quiet about it or we'll see to it that it goes on your criminal record, which you'll have to disclosed to any future employer preventing you from getting any well-paying job in the future."
And such payment won't be legally binding, so they could still press charges, and your payment will be used as evidence of your guilt.
That's cute, but before it could be signed it was first passed by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives and the Republican-controlled Senate.
And, IIRC, did so by voice votes(*), so there'd be no record of who voted what way (such as how many Democrats supported it and how many Republicans did not) nor even hard numbers of ayes and nays, only that a clear majority voted for it.
Which not only concealed how they voted from their constituents, but also whether they had enough votes to override any Presidential veto.
(*) Or was it the Communications Decency Act, or was it both of them?
Let me add one cautionary note. While we strongly support legislation that will reinstate the Broadcast Flag, we cannot support legislation that will do that at the expense of the anti-circumvention provisions of the DMCA. It has been suggested that HR 1201 [2006 version] be attached to Broadcast Flag legislation. However, that type of legislation would as a practical matter repeal Section 1201 of the DMCA, would compromise efforts to fight piracy and inflict devastating harm on an important American industry.
Irreconcilable differences between the industry and the consumers will doom this one as well.
...IT makes people more productive at an individual level.... Among the surprises: IT didn't necessarily make projects faster but it did dramatically increase productivity by facilitating multitasking; and IT-supported social networks predicted productivity better than experience did.

I don't understand it myself, but Google is starting to pull up older results lately. Last search pulled up an old reference on Nov 30, 2003 to "getting on my chimes". Strangely, no results at all in Google Groups (Usenet).
Most references I've seen have lacked any context to warrant such a bizarre turn of phrase leading me to believe that this is some kind of troll across multiple forums, possibly some obscure cultural reference perpetuated by people only just getting it.
It's highly suspicious that it is Anonymous Cowards doing it here. I have to wonder if it is being done to increase impression revenue for whoever has registered "chimes" as a Google AdSense word.
In any case, if I had mod points right now, I'd be modding these chiming trolls as such. It's clearly disruptive as it's spawning discussion of the phrase instead of the articles.

materially disrupts classwork or involves substantial disorder
Of course the schools don't understand adjectives like "materially" or "substantial", so they apply more Zero Tolerance so that any perceived infraction no matter how small that they think could disrupt or cause disorder gets blown way out of proportion so that it actually does, thereby justifying their action.
Keep in mind that you won't necessarily be playing good games, and may have to play through World War II games over and over again just to make sure there's no AO-rated sex in your M-rated violence.
will have to either find a machine that still comes with XP
I know one company that still recommends buying laptops from Dell who currently only ship with Vista preinstalled, even though the software they make doesn't yet run on Vista. They recommend users buy a retail copy of XP and install it over Vista. (They also make a version of the software for Linux, yet do not suggest installing Linux over Vista.)
or get a Mac.
They also won't support running their software on XP installed on an Intel Mac.
I know that UNL tracks what MAC addresses use which IP addresses and for how long. They use it to maintain the DHCP server and identify machines that are trying to use the same IP address or using IPs that they aren't allowed to use (anything over 199 in the last octet is reserved in all subnets). Troublemakers get their MAC addresses banned, which works against those who don't know how to change them. (They've had students buying new network cards to get past the blocks.) I'd expect they've enhanced it by now to even better identify which physical port they're plugged into or which wireless router. Getting caught using an unleased IP can get you banned from the network, especially if it's an IP with a number >199 in the last octet (they're reserved).
And yes, I have seen obviously faked MAC addresses in the logs, too. Three that stuck out had all zeroes except for one one.
It looks like some new obscure meme like "all your base..." some people are pushing which hasn't bubbled up to the collective net consciousness yet. Google's got nothing useful on the phrase.
I wouldn't be surprised to find it as a catch phrase of a character in some upcoming comedy movie or other commercial venture and that it's being sprayed over multiple net forums to build hype (astroturfing).

When I saw that picture my first thought was, "We have a new Creative Commons logo!"
Then of course I realized Creative Commons doesn't nest the Cs in their logo.
If something exists then nothing cannot be everything.
If nobody knows everything then what knows everything?
I think you just divided nothing by nobody.

It's one of many obscure movies I'm wanting to come out on DVD.

IANAL.
We seem to be thinking along the same lines at nearly the same time. Thank you for the Senate detail.
I wonder what Senator Gregg's (R-NH) reason was for abstaining.

First they came for the Sarah Connors, and I said nothing, for my name was not Sarah Connor....
Well it's still not Bubblegum crisis's instantly expanding plastic penises that can knock out tanks.
Wasn't that "Dominion Tank Police", or did Bubblegum Crisis also use erectacocky?
(Yes, there appears to be two entries on IMDb. Also, the edited-for-television version excludes the phallus and drops the name "erectacocky".)

Playing games AND getting paid for it!
Keep in mind that you won't necessarily be playing good games, and may have to play through World War II games over and over again just to make sure there's no AO-rated sex in your M-rated violence.
Oh the pain to have to play Barbie Horse Adventures: Wild Horse Rescue all the way through just to make sure she never gets too wild and adventurous with the horse.
Then again, supposing 85 hours into a game that was rated Teen there is some nude ninja combat (M-rated)
Do you mean like a naked cartwheeling Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty ?
