*shrugs* Do both - that way you can see where you're going, and the other cockroaches won't laugh when their abducted egg-mate returns with the direction sense of a bot from CS 1.0.:P
Fortunately, if that happened, you wouldn't care. Is it good for society? Hell no. But the individual wouldn't mind overmuch - not that they really would have a choice in the matter...
Unfortunately, with the inch-high legs of the noble steed he's riding, he'll be unable to jump the first Matchbox car he left lying around last April 1st - and the brave, fearless mount will have to get high-velocity lead poisoning due to putting a scratch on Daddy's monstertruck....We can only hope.
This IS the content, unfortunately - if you'd RTFA'd, you would've known that.;) This is the one story a week that only the 1.7% is interested in - hence, the My Little Pony colour scheme. They have to feel comfortable, you know - too long without eye-searing pink manes and hooves could drive a member of this demographic insane, and they could run rampage through the halls of their make-believe dungeons in their parent's basement, inflicting massive pain and agony on the hapless Lego men that have been tied to the walls of the carboard boxes. And we wouldn't want that on the 5 o'clock news, would we?
I've heard through some slightly seedy friends of mine that a pig's orgasm lasts for half an hour. Presumably, this would provide enough thrust (and therefore enough delta-v) to enable a LEO for the capsule, no fuel expenditure required. I'm sure the pig wouldn't mind, either.
Does anyone have any information on the relative efficiencies of solid booster rockets vs pig-power for stationkeeping?
Well, considering the process of serpentinization requires water to be present (as it's incorporated into the crystal structure of the new minerals), your comment would be wrong.;)If this is what is really happening, that means that there's proof of water on the red planet, now or at least in very recent geological history. As another poster mentioned, either possibility will turn out to be interesting.
Well, off you go then. If it sounds so enticing, why haven't you done it yet? Turn gay (*), be a part of this "secretive community", feel free to express yourself. Then tell me what happens when you announce that you're gay to the world, or even close family and friends - I've been reliably informed that it's never easy, rarely pretty, and often relationship-destroying. Does it still sound enticing?
How about not being able to brag around the watercooler on a monday morning - "I took home this hot guy on Saturday. Damn, he was cute!" just doesn't have the same effect as mentioning that you nailed a DD-cup 6' brunette.
How about all the derogatory gay-bashing that goes on, even if it is unintentional or not meant to offend - and not be able to say that you were offended, for fear of being fired, socially ignored (or worse, if you're unlucky), just because you didn't laugh at the ill-aimed joke? The situation is not helped by the public perception that Gay==Queer Eye.
*: No arguments about choice vs genetics, please. I've got friends that thought they were straight, thought about it some more (with or without some "experimentation"), and decided they weren't - whether that was a concious choice or a throwing-off of social stigma and conditioning (allowing a predisposition towards that orientation to show) doesn't really matter. That's what they are, and they deal with it.
IIRC, 2Na + 2H20 -> 2NaOH + H2. As you noted, though, that reaction is exothermic, which ignites the H2 when it comes into contact with free oxygen.
Another sibling post mentioned that Na is caustic - it's not the Na that is caustic, it's the NaOH given off when the water on the surface of your skin reacts with the metal.:)
Ah... A LUXURY cruise ship? With military grade guidance, I'm sure we could guide the meteor to hit a Zodiac or inflatable dinghy... Which is what we should be sending the spammers out in, in the first place... A luxury cruise ship might have wireless broadband, plus it's just too comfortable for them. Let them sit on a wet metal bench to operate their laptops, with no internet access:)

See? It sounds like a REALLY good idea, when you're drunk. :P

Must be using EtherReal with the new 805.9 Human extension. It seems to be buggy, though; there are no unique addressing identifiers.
Microsoft is a master of that particular art...
You could have just left out 'over', and the sentence would pretty much have the same meaning. :P

True enough. *habitually checks over his shoulder, suspiciously watching the limping granny that just dropped her shopping*
You're a paranoid nut.

From what I understand, among the smaller varieties of native marsupials and birds, feral cats have killed more like 90%. Oh noes, indeed.

I also run the LHC@home project, as well as Einstein@home and Seti@home on both my machines (P4 1.8 and AMD64 3500+). Seems to work nicely.

Apparently not.
You're a funny bastard, you know that?

Ah... No, you're fucked. The rest of us are still searching from our mother's basements. :)

Does it come with a free fusion plant to offset the power bills?
Well, maybe not a front page story, but there is a website on the dangers of this insidious, deadly chemical. http://www.dhmo.org/

No, it's proof that mods have no clue what they're moderating.
