Spin everywhere you look. Best I can tell the shuttle was making about 18fps (40mph) when the impact occurred.
I think it's fair to say that the shuttle flew into the bird. Can you imagine someone telling you that a bird flew into his car, then admitting he was doing 40 at the time?
Next thing you know people will be accusing the bird of being a Jihadist.
I suppose that in an infinite universe anything is possible.
Did you not notice that the defining characteristic of "prose poetry" is that it doesn't do the things we expect poetry to do; that it, in fact, is like common writing?
I could see that the property appears to be in a quiet residential community and looks approachable from all sides. It also offers ready access by car to major thoroughfares.
A house in a residential area? With easy access by car? And no moats or dragons near by? This must be some sort of top secret CIA house of the future!
All the posts I see here talk about loop antennae and such, ignoring the fact that it is HIS network.
If you can connect to the AP and the AP will route you onto your network you can determine the AP's IP. From there you can 1. temporarily disable it and 2. presumably discover the Ethernet drop it is attached to.
If you can't connect to it you can probably use something like nmap do find its IP through the process of elimination. (For example, if there is exactly one device on an IP from your DHCP pool that isn't a windows box.) From there the same steps apply.
I disagree. Cavendish (apparently) derived a constant from the interaction of small objects. Given that this is a constant it naturally generalized to all massive objects.
This guy, as I said, (ab)used statistics to show . . . whatever the fuck.
What does this have to do with Physics? Sure, weight is a physical phenomenon. Does that mean that buying a half a pound of ham from the deli is taking "Physics to a new dimension"?
How about "Abusing statistics in an unconscionable manner."? That seems more apt.
I don't use GPS, but I don't find it difficult to imagine some brain-dead outfit building a brain-dead unit that won't work outside of North America. I can imagine them doing this by design (i.e. "Going overseas? Buy our extra-expensive 'International' model!") or unintentionally ("Hmm, didn't think to handle values between the prime meridian and the date line going East!").
The question seems goofy at first, but I think it's reasonable in this light.
I appreciate what you are saying, but isn't the aim to produce something that can be reproduced successfully? By that criterion this study (assuming it is repeatable) indicates failure.
In summary, you are absolutely correct if we stipulate that a fetus is not a human being. Given that I have come to the opposite conclusion, my opinion on this matter fits libertarian philosophy perfectly.
God is god of us all, even those that don't worship Him.
It's cool that you believe that and all, but it's a weird thing to proclaim in a public forum. Here's an example -
Phil is God of us all, even those who don't worship Him.
- or I could take it further -
Phil is God of us all, even those who don't worship him. Those who do, and eat only of tuna-fish on Tuesdays, shall earn a an eternal reward of pudding and helium balloons. Those who do not, and eat of non-tuna-fish on Tuesdays, shall be cast down into a great, scalding bowl of gravy.
My point isn't to disparage your beliefs, but to give you an idea of what your attitude is like from my point of view.
Can you see what I'm saying?

I suspect that you have mistaken me for a Christian, and that has clouded your perspective.
I'll accept that I can't be perfectly pigeonholed. In fact, I'll accept it gladly and take it as a sign that my brain is functioning.
On the other hand, what kind of "old-world conservative" is for across the board decriminalization of substances, the decriminalization of prostitution, and reducing the size of the standing army with an eye to dissolving it altogether?

Stop complaining. As far as I can tell "beta" means "no ads yet" in Google-speak!

Simon,
I think prose means the opposite of what you think it means.

Two suns, three suns, that's not really relevant to the plot or character development.
My concern is that in the next release Alderaan is going to shoot first.

Is that clearer? Cavendish didn't use statistics.

Guilty!
What is the difference, then, between real conservatives and libertarians?
I'm pleased that we're making progress in this conversation, and I'm quite flattered by your last sentence.
