That I read Lord of the Flies, The Great Gatsby, All Quiet on The Western Front, and Brave New World in High School while it was still required. Damn good books. I mean, I would have read them on my own, but the fact that they counted towards a grade was icing on the cake.
Hello? It's not a spaceship. It's an airplane. They did not even get close to entering orbit I'll bite. It reached space. Its a spaceship. It did not orbit. Therefore it is not an orbiter. Dur.
Beat me to it. Don't you love it when people complain about recent technologies either being annoying or being circumvented, not realizing that the world got along fine without said recent technology?
Thats a lot of variants on that site. I personally liked a variant with a 10x8 or 10x10 board, and two new pieces called the Cardinal and the Marshall. Cardinal moves like a bishop and knight and the Marshall moves like a rook and knight. Its pretty fun.
The war against spam will be won by smart filters!! We will fight them on the routers! We will fight them on the mail servers! Their women and children will lament their deaths for decades!
And, when the day gets slightly longer, the speed of the tether would change, thereby changing the orbital characteristics and requiring the center of mass to be further out. Ouch.
I wanna damn Von Neumann machine made of Legos, that cruises around picking up other Legos, and making another copy of itself. That would really "whip the donkey's ass", so to speak. It would kinda be like a life form.

Of course, if you miscalculate... instead of 1 1000+ ton rock, you get 1000+ 1 ton rocks..... ouch.

Who needs a signal when you can just "look" at the planet and get relative bearings easily?
Although I don't agree 100% with it, that was the Best. Analogy. Ever.
Some take it further, and say this country has not been in DIRECT danger since the war of 1812, but, I'm not one of them.

I suggested slashdotting google a few months ago..... and I got modded a troll.... damn it.

If so, you've just been served.
The serving was most serious in the pelvic region.
The fempenis? Kinda like a mangina?

I loved that movie as a kid.
Do you have a blimp disaster to name, or are you full of hot air?
I think hes referring to this: Imdb
Terrible, terrible tragedy.
A space elevator cannot change the speed of the earth's rotation
And why can't it?
Everything is a juicy target for terrorists, pre and post 9/11. But shit still gets built, right?
