If only they had rerouted auxiliary power via the main deflector dish this wouldn't have happened.. don't they teach anything in high school anymore? =/
And have you seen the textures used in that huge outside room? They're sooooo realistic. And sometimes the polygon count is absolutely extreme, especially in busy shopping malls.
Be advised to have multiple shaders, the latest hardware acceleration and good cooling before going to that place!
Nice idea, but some thoughts from me, based on my limited knowledge (IINARS - I Am Not A Rocket Scientist)
a) Launching radioactive material is a risk. What if the thing comes down during launch? I believe this has been a huge issue before (hmm.. wasn't that with the launch of the Cassini space probe?!?)
b) Ion propulsion is useless for launching vehicles into orbit from Earth. IIRC the amount of thrust of the ion engine onboard the Deep Space I mission was something like the force of a A4-sized paper resting on your palm..
c) Launching things into the Sun costs far more energy than most people assume. It requires quite a booster rocket to decelerate the payload from the orbital speed of the Earth around the Sun to such an extend that the thing will start 'falling towards the Sun'.
Somewhat far-fetched perhaps but:
d) Even though a payload would be extremely small compared to the mass of the Sun, would we want to take the risk to dump things into the one thing that gives us warmth, light and thus ultimately life?!? Do we know enough that we can safely start dumping radioactive material into the one central fission reaction that keeps us alive?

Hmm, that's one point of view.. another one is that nerds have to keep track of ALL variables. :D
Yeah, you forgot the women.
I'm still waiting for someone to come up with a nice pun involving the title of this news item and Steven Seagal! :D
;D
I'm out for justice
lol! :)
;-)
:P
Let's just conclude that there is nothing wrong with 'caressing the top row'...
Hey! You with the dirty mind! That's not what I meant!
Surely you must be talking about Perl? ;P
There are people on this world who would love to see this... to spice up their phone sex!

A mind with a very fast global association system is a guarantee for every day funnies ;)
I just can't help but wonder if a battery-powered Hummer would become a 'Bummer' ;D

I hear ya, brilliant quote.. now `can somebody pick up the d*mn phone!?!` ;)
And I would ask you not to reveal the future location of the DoD, thank you! :D
*STOP*

Congratulations! You've just invented the 'Faraday tattoo'! :D
and hopefully they are spin reseachers and not spin doctors.. :P
The chance that it will be named after Paris Hilton should be minimal. ^_^

One can (also) find a nice list of portable (usb) software right here at wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_portable_app
And go to the menu item called 'successes': http://www.sco.com/successes/
And what does the page that is returned say?
"Document Not Found
To find the document you're looking for, please see our company"
LOL!
This in combination with some 'hip brand name' which is 'aimed at their target audience'.
Perhaps they should call it the "G-Unit" or something like that then.. xD
When God said: "Let there be light!"
;-P
Chuck Norris said: "Say please!"
The quotes of wisdom one can find written on the doors of public toilets (saw this one yesterday) are amazing
I'd would like a touch of soul please. :)
:D
Perhaps a bit of 're-branding' might do the trick.. hmm.. MicroSoul Groove?
Just imagine Blair pointing at his head during an interview and saying: "This is a T-one-thousand learning processorrr". :D
He'll be back!
