Are you really so naive that you think he invested the entire proceeds from the sale in developing a rocket motor? More likely, it's an investment of a few million dollars.
Nature does everything to make sure you reproduce and pass forth your genes. I believe in evolution and I believe in passing forth my genes. If someone chooses not to have children, they're doing evolution a favor and getting themselves out of the process, essentially ending the process. Perhaps it is best that this is done, to make sure that the rest of the population is free from such defects, speaking strictly from an evolutionary point of view.
This seems too consistent to be a random failure. Wasn't there some sort of a mystery as to what caused the last one? I propose that the satellites are slowly being hijacked and will soon be used against us, a la Independence Day! They'll collectively broadcast crappy reality shows to every corner of the world and none of us would be able to stop them! AHH! AHHHH!
More power to Jeff! Maybe he can attract the most talented engineers from the best schools and agencies to turn this into a reality. Whether or not he wins the Bigelow Prize is besides the point, but the advancement of private technology, the spirit of adventure, and the general attentiveness of the public to the issue will still be a victory. I am an optimist, as the present was not created by pessimists - nor will the future.
I call it being specific. Does it matter to you if a power supply is called a power cube or a consumer energy solution? Seriously though, the ones that provide "solutions" are selling custom products and appropriate services, so it would be difficult to explicitly state what it is that they sell, while the consumer market is uber-specific. MS would not sell you a "solution," at least not in the same sense that it would sell a giant multinational a data management solution. Or something like that.
Oh, c'mon, it was initially very secret. There were rumors flying about (pun!) about a year or so ago, but nothing was known, because it was kept upder wraps (another pun!) quite well. Obviously, it no longer is, and obviously Bezos is seeking attention for his venture, which is perfectly fine with me. Kudos to Bezos!
I have to say, what we may be witnessing is the birth of man's space age.
I think that's what they said in the fifties and sixties, but alas. I am in general agreement, though, and sooner or later, we shall populate the universe. It's an inevitability.*
*Assuming we don't get wiped out due to an external occurrence, wipe ourselves out, or otherwise not take steps to populate the universe.
Why could the lawyer simply ignore the men? Yes, I RTFA, and this was set-up to get attention by the two guys telling the jokes, but this is a pretty extreme way to go about stopping them. Besides, anyone but the most naive knows that lawyers will do anything to win, and in return, make tons of cash. I don't care about the money they make, but the methods which they employ scares me.
I agree. I can't imagine how this can be pulled-off in the near term. How will the image processor find that image in the database? How will data be entered into the database to begin with? How will the software understand what you're referring to in a particular picture, whether it happens to have a car, a building, a person, a billboard, and other stuff in the same picture. Either I am too stupid or I underestimate the technology that can make this available soon.
Why can't spam software be made immune by denying the message if it finds that the URL returns an error message, indicating it doesn't exist? If it finds a web site doesn't exist (and I'm not referring to the domain, but the actual URL, in its entirety), it should simply reject it. Does this not make sense?

..as it makes it seem the mammals were larger than the dinosaurs people typically think of, like the T-Rex or others, who are very, very large. But according to New Scientist, they were only around a meter long (and smaller) and would prey on very small dinos.
Just get the pilots to wear goggles of the specific wavelengths, such as of the most popular lasers, which I think is something like 550-700 nm? I could be wrong, but you get the idea...
Apple is not on a shaky ground. They are suing hime to get him to divulge the information that was on his site. That information had the potential to really, really hurt Apple and its shareholders. Why do you automatically side with the kid? If the information was erroneous and the anticipation was false, it would have been a disaster for a company like Apple. They're doing the right thing: any sane company would have done the same.
Large means dimension. When was the last time you heard, "This star shines largely!" or "This star is weighs large" or something like that? Large, in this context, obviously means diameter.
It is. The article (and summary) use the Solar System to put things into perspective. However, there exist other solar systems, as well, but they are not discussed in this article.
Actually, it's because iPod sales were slightly lower than expected, about 4.5 Mil vs. the estimated 4.6 Mil, at least by one research group. However, I expect the shares to gain ground in the coming weeks, as profit-turners stop selling the stocks and look at all the good news for Apple, such as its doubling of the market share, new products, and so on. Now is the time to buy.

Lots of versions W/O the leaf!
I thought they *were* in Sci-Fi movies of the 50s? Ya know, some guy and his team build a space ship and fly to Jupiter or something. No?

Your post's subject answers that correctly. After all, this is Georgia we are talking about here.

Because guys in mouse suits are so much better than smart, neat-looking guys who actually teach you something in a lab setting. *rolls eyes*

The blurb is copied directly from the BBC article, so send them a letter to inform of their grammatical inadequacy. :)
Actually, it will engulf the first three planets, but not extend to Jupiter.

It seems they were able to measure temperature and luminance, thus making them red [super]giants.
