    5- fill a rocket with bubblewrap or you'll end up with a lander full of glass shards.

    Does this remind anyone of the Monty Python skit where they use mathematicians to create the world's funniest joke,

    "This man is Ernest Scribbler... writer of jokes. In a few moments, he will have written the funniest joke in the world... and, as a consequence, he will die... laughing."

    (plug it in, pull it out, mulitply by about a hundred thousand times a day, 356 days a year, it wears out pretty fast).

    So fast that it takes the other 9 days to replace it? :)

    Indeed, as a Brit I can confirm that they are on all of our banknotes.

  8. Re:Wardriving! on Replace Your Windows With LCD Panels · · Score: 1

    I wish this technology was consumer and commonplace. Then you could wardrive someone's network and goatse all their LCD windows...

    ...and then their windows would merely be large holes in the wall...

  9. Re:It's a forgery on Cooking for Engineers · · Score: 1

    Yes that's fine, except for the fact that the measurements aren't always the same in each set of units. This means that you should either use all metric measurements or all imperial ones and not mix-and-match. I've buggered up a number of recipes by forgetting this.

    That being said, I can't remember the last recipe I've used that used gallons of anything ;-) - Probably a soup or something.

  13. Re:I live there, watching the launches are fun on Vandenberg AFB Missile Launches · · Score: 1

    If there is a big enough rumble to make your chest vibrate, do you have to open the beer before the launch so it isn't shaken up?

  14. Oh dear on Inflatable Spaceship Ready for Test · · Score: 2, Funny

    They'll have to blow it up before it'll work
