It is against UK human rights law to extradite people to countries that practice torture and imprisonment without trial. So until Gitmo is shut down he will never actually get to the plane due to last minute injunctions.
Sorts are a job for the operating system not the programmer. Why constantly re-invent the wheel.All the only sorting I did in over twenty years of COBOL programming was done by the operating system (VME/B VME2900)which had a multipass sort routine smart enough to pick out the best algorithm after the first pass.
I worked on a bonus system in 1982 that required a rerun of the whole payroll suite to calculate the bonuses for SIX local government employees it only took six weeks to code and implement. The system was twenty years old at the time and even then used a simple parameter file for pay rates rather than hard coding them. You don't need a database for things like that but it is sheer ignorance to say that 1970s databases were non relational - read up on IDMS and IDMSX.
Final and obvious comment from an old COBOL programmer I'LL BE BACK.
Does it prevent Scribners from receiving revenue that it would otherwise have received? Yes.
WRONG - At least it is in the UK where libraries pay a lot higher price for books than the general public in order to compensate copyright holders for lost revenue due to library loans. I learnt about this when I found out that the scheme was extended to video libraries who were paying £60 for a video available in the shops for £15.
I am not a pirate, but what happens when they slip their mooring head out into international waters and put all your data up for auction. Yo Ho Ho and bits of eight me hearties.
H2indenberg was not the only airship disaster. R101 had 8 survivors 48 dead when it crashed. Modern instruments and safety techniques would have prevented the crash. Hydrogen is cheap and renewable, a comparatively simple multi cell system with nitrogen buffering between hull and gasbags coupled with Davey Lamp style gauze would eliminate the fire risk from non catastrophic incidents. The main problem with airships is constantly repeated newsreel footage of that over exited reported screaming "Oh the humanity!". The RFC (the predecessor to the RAF) were only able to shoot down zeppelins with machine guns after the introduction of incendiary ammunition.
As I walked in the door of my local MacDonalds for breakfast one of the counter staff would call out "No cheese!". By the time I had walked past the queue to reach the counter my order would be on it and my penny change in the charity box. I was definitely wireless as the used optical technology (human eyeball). It was just good service as they knew I had the sausage and egg MacMuffin meal with orange juice and no cheeses. Whenever anyone queried why I did not queue they said I had ordered ahead by telepathy
This experiment is one I performed in my second year of my (ordinary not honours) physics degree thirty three years ago. The tunneling takes zero time as the photon does not transit the gap. The total journey time however is limited by the speed of light in the media involved. I could dig out my project report but this is ancient history as Einstein himself first performed this as a thought experiment and explained away the apparent breaking of relativity.
I can identify with that. Only six 1933 (British pennies) were minted, they were proof coins and not meant for circulation. Somehow they did get into circulation and as a child I got one in my change. I was trying to get a penny for each year of the twentieth century but spent them when I found that there were several years that no pennies were minted. A few days later i read the rest of the article and found out that the last 1933 penny found had fetched 30,000 pounds at auction at a time when a upmarket home was 3,000. My father said that the coin was probably a fake made by scratching off half of the 8 of a 1938 penny but I will never know for sure.
Not sure exactly when but I watched an article about this on Tomorrows World a BBC science program sometime between May 1965 and September 1967 (That was the period that my family were based in Northwood. I know it was then because I wanted one and tried to make my own in the workshop that house had).
The mile was defined by the Romans as Mille Passum, literaly a thousand paces. In marching a pace is the distance between two placings down of the same foot. so he is right a thousand miles equates to a million paces.
And even more importantly hire a CHEMIST to make sure the chemistry is correct and a lawyer for when they get sued because "My little Tommy played their game and got flunked because he said that when iron and oxygen react you get a rust monster!".

Wrong! Paper tape is more compact and just as durable.

No it wont we are using Windows 2000 not Vista. Nothing can possibly go wrong go wrong go wrong......

Just curious - why haven't the researchers been prosecuted for theft?
Get them all to dress as if they are going to do a moebius strip. example at http://www.yankodesign.com/index.php/2007/06/19/mobius-dress-inside-outside-garment-by-my-studio/ Get the winner (or loser) to do one. Follow up with a game of spin the Klein bottle.
There is an obvious editorial error here.

If we harnessed the energy from all the atmospheric meteor strikes we get each day would the cost of that energy fall like a rock too?

So thats what happens when he uses the sonic screwdriver to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.

A gaff is a hook for landing fish or a cockney's home. The correct word is gaffe

Sci fi will adopt it because it is a lot cheaper to spray paint a SCUBA suit than to make a convincing looking contemporary space suit.
I was taught in science at school (in the 1960s) that we were coming out of an ice age and could expect the world to get warmer.
