You're wrong - the design specifications of Falcon 9 permit the loss of at least one engine without affecting mission goals. A slightly different flight trajectory would be the result, but by adjusting burn times the ultimate orbital insertion would be the same.
"Scientific study of these storms is a legitimate activity, and is more legitimate (and deserves precedence over) thrill seekers and people looking to make a cool home movie."
Says who? I mean, I agree with you, but I recognize that's purely subjective judgment on my part. I don't try to pass it off like it's a universal truth.
Go ahead and hack on your iPhone. Nothing is stopping you.
It is a literal violation of the DMCA, and no less than Apple itself has argued that jailbreaking is indeed a federal crime. So yes, *so long as you don't get caught*, nothing is stopping you, just like any other criminal activity.
It doesn't work like that, since setting the picture size does not actually increase the physical size of the sensor pixels. Either it uses all the sensor data and resizes it, like you would in Photoshop, or it systematically discards every n number of sensor lines.

Your complaints are invalid and stem entirely from your unwillingness to make the slightest effort to understand how the system works.
In most Windows programs with a menu bar, there are two ways to use keyboard commands. One way uses CTRL as a modifier and does not involve the menus at all, though they are discoverable through the menu by using the tooltips. E.g., CTRL+S to save, CTRL+O to open. If you don't know or can't be bothered to remember these keyboard commands, you can alternately navigate the menu system by pressing the ALT key. Pressing ALT underlines the letters in the menu options to press to activate that menu option, so if you can't remember CTRL+O to open a file, you can press ALT, then F to activate the file menu, then O to select the open option. And incidentally, the CTRL keys are unchanged in Office 2007, the tool tips still tell you the CTRL keys, and pressing ALT still causes key commands to appear on the ribbon options, so if you've ever used keyboard shortcuts in office ever, they still work basically the same way.
Don't be silly. Nuclear *plants* provide gigawatts of power for hundreds of thousands of people. The OP is talking about a reactor capable of providing power for a few people. We already have designs for self-contained, maintenance-free shipping-contained-sized units capable of filling this role. See, e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSTAR or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toshiba_4S.
You're being very misleading. Yes, it's true that NASA accounted for a much larger percentage of the federal budget in 1966. But, it's ALSO true that the federal budget was IN GENERAL smaller in 1966. A far more accurate way of figuring out how much the 1966 Apollo budget would cost today would be to, simply adjust for inflation, which works out to around $38 billion, only about 1% of the 2009 federal budget. Even if you maintained NASA funding at an equivalent level of GDP, it would still only come to $100 billion, not the $200 billion you suggest.
But since nobody else mentioned it, let me suggest jscript wrapped in a wsh file. It,s built into windows, is one file and being text can be easily versioned.
Well there's the free UltraVNC single-click exe. You upload your server targets to their generator and it spits out a tiny exe that has the server hardcoded, so the user need only run it and optionally select a server. I use it with a VNC repeater running on my end, so they can select from any one of 5 sessions that I can connect to. It's free and it works but I haven't tested it under WINE.
What do you mean consider 2001? The entire ship-board portion of the movie was filled with dozens scrolling, bleeping, buzzing and info-spewing screens. Granted, mostly in simple monochromatic vector diagrams, but still...
Well, nobody is trying to tell me that Walmart is the BMW of retail stores, that it is a life-altering event shopping there, or that Walmart's huge price markups are worth the insanely great customer service and attention to detail.
Tell you what - next time there's a Slashdot article singing the glowing praises of Walmart, I'll be sure to chime in.

How does that work with, e.g., running databases? Don't you run into a nightmare of consistency issues?
I thought the images load asynchronously, how would this make the page load slower?

If there's "brownian motion" it's really more of a shart.
Actually in most states it is.

They ultimately do not get to decide, but yes, when the EFF filed for an explicit DMCA exemption for jailbreaking, Apple opposed it.

So what I said is absolutely correct.
Uh, you can. Use Mono, or write your own VB.NET-to-elf compiler. Nobody will stop you.
Apple wants it to be a federal crime, though.
According to Apple jailbreaking is a violation of the DCMA and thus a federal crime.

No, virtually all wireless internet plans in the U.S. are "unlimited" (scare quotes intended).
What I'm still waiting for is generation of energy from thin air, preferably cheaply available to anyone.
Sorry, John Galt quit working and disappeared *years* ago.
I really think you're wrong!
And more to the point, Walmart is not deigning to tell me what discs I can play on the CD player I bought from them.
Well, nobody is trying to tell me that Walmart is the BMW of retail stores, that it is a life-altering event shopping there, or that Walmart's huge price markups are worth the insanely great customer service and attention to detail.

The more popular slogan was, "Come and smell our dairy air!"
If you know any French at all, you'll get the joke.
