i imagine getting shot or cut or otherwise receiving damage to your flesh hurts more than damage to your bones.

I guess you've never broken a bone before.

I have yet to hear my iPod skip at all, ever, and I ride my bike and run with it in my pocket. It gets shaken most of the time it's on.

I had my ipod hard drive die on me, only owning it for about 4 months. What I did it in, I think, was using it while it was sitting in the cup holder in my car. It would sutter and I could feel the hard drive spinning, and holding it would let the buffer fill. But it got to the point where it wouldn't even turn on. Thank god for costco, and knowing the guy working at the returns counter.

If we route emergency power through the deflector dish, we should be able to create a warp bubble that would temporaril lower the gravitaional constant around the asteroid. That way we could use the ships tractor beam to slightly alter the asteroids trajectory. It won't be much, but I think it will be enough.

What about decompressing the shuttlebay, providing enough thrust to move the ship out of the way?

Or why not just let a phone play a 10 second or so clip of an MP3?

My phone ,Motorola V600, does have this. I have about 6 megs to play around with... And the sound quality ain't half bad either!
