Wow, what shitty math. Ok, first you quote 400 km/h:
The 'Foam' couldn't possibly have been traveling at the 400 km/h when it struck the Columbia's wing, as claimed. Consider. ..
Then you quote 400 km/second:
The Shuttle lifter, while enormously powerful, certainly doesn't accelerate at 400 km/second.
I think we can all argree the shuttle doesn't accelerate at 400 km/SECOND.
That, and your accelerations are listed as velocities. Of course, the fact that air resistance could have played a role in accelerating the foam into the shuttle probably never crossed your mind. Finally, the shuttle is not an aircraft. It is primarily a space craft. Space craft tend to be "fragile." The heat shield tiles tend to be "fragile" as well. Try again, with more math.
Point taken, I wrongfully assumed you were using the common "evolution violates the laws of thermodynamics" argument fundies like to make. I apologize.
Incredible entropy?? Incredible if Earth was a closed system. Hint: It's not. P.S.: If this doesn't make sense to you, don't use an argument you don't understand.
Yes, cause everyone likes a shitty knife thats too short, and crappy pair of scissors that don't cut, a toothpick thats stupid, and a pair of tweezers that break. All in one. Actually, just kidding. I like them too.
Well, it's not so much "lost trying to get home" more like "knew where we were going, knew we might not get back, if we don't we have other things to do like finding new technology, and kicking some ass." Star Trek is sterile. StarGate is about kicking ass with MP5s and Claymores.
They might have a scientific explanation for the wraiths' abilities, but some other things in Stargate aren't scientific either, like "ascension" and the like.

Yes, but how many libraries of congress can you read during the trip?
I think part of the on-going plot of atlantis is to find the power generators. From what I've read, the same generators that allow the gate to dial another galaxy, (an area code via the 8th chevron, so to speak) also power the city, but they are either a) failing b) drained.
For a minute there, I though that read Polymorphic Software.... but that didn't make sense; we haven't discovered Industrial Base and Information Networks yet....
You don't even have to take it that far... I can hear a song from my friend's Cd, and replay it in my head.... does that mean my brain is illegal because I don't have a "legal" standing to listen to the song?
Well, let's see.... we impede the tides.... tides brake Earth's rotation. Eventually, Earth's rotation period matches the Moon's revolution period, and then, no tides. What are we gonna do then??!!11 Of course, this would take an EXTREMELY long time.

Uh, pedantic? I think they are talking about the tiles on the shuttle itself, the glue used for them, and their tendency to fall off.
It's like an episode of Sliders.... I was confused for the longest time...
That's what I thought the first time around too.

You'd think feeding off of liquid metal would be a bit tough.... poor poor T-1000....

Yes, but personally I think its closer to fascism: government and corporation in bed with each other.
Better yet, let's find his IP address and /. him!
Not in my book. Course, Kerry voters aren't either. I guess I'm just cynical like that....
With what, Gluons?

"laahhhhhhhhhhh, ZUU!"
Yes, we do.
Yes, but so? Tubes are better than solid states, inconsistency is moot. Thats part of their charm.

Yeah, well, I wouldn't want Project Orion as a launcher... Now as a space drive thingy, its a perfect idea.
Linda: I'm sure those windmills will keep them cool.
