[1] This is the first result with google.com in the search for 'farm animal sex toys' that was not some bestiality pr0n vids/pics web site.

Being somewhat of a firearms geek, I've been reading up a lot on ballistics lately.
Ditto, but I started out Benchrest shooting in the latter 1960's.:-) I shot at Camp Perry[1] twice as a qualified competitor.
*Disclaimer: I am not a rocket scientist, but know quite a bit about basic physics, and ballistics in particular.*
How do you propose to shed heat on those continuous, progressively intense, cumulative orbits?
Maybe a rocket scientist could explain it better than I, but this is a fundamental consideration(atmospheric drag/friction) in calculating the ballistic coefficient for projectiles.
But! If one had a design for an orbital habitat module suitably sized for launch on a cheap mass produced rocket - 20 tons to LEO is probably about right - and the capability to robotically assemble and supply them in orbit, one could in principle build an arbitrarily large modular orbital habitat. As big as budgets allow, anyway. The crew can ride up in different flights.
To take this farther, why not add comm and relay capabilities and lease these services out?
For example: why should a comm company/corp build and launch a comsat when they can lease the same tech for less? add redundancy to GPS bolt on transciever dishes/apparatus for signal relay/repeater function reduces space junk buildup
Think of the possibilities.
That's the kind of capability NASA had been planning to develop before the senate fucked it up today.
It seems to me that our legislature has made a game of setting NASA up for Epic Fail scenarios the past decade or so.

I hate AT&T DSL! Their connection is decent when it works, but having to reboot my DSL modem every 15 minutes because it lost the connection really sucks.
I recently experienced something similar.
Every time it rained, no internet...reboot modem, then router. This usually worked. When it did not work, call ISP tech support; usually a hardware problem in my area, resolved within 12 hours.[to be fair- usually within 1 hour...they were upgrading the local infrastructure at the time (cox.net in central OK- now suddenlink.net)] Every time I farted more than three times an hour...net down. etc. Once in a Blue Moon it would work!
Got a new modem[cable, FWIW], and most of my troubles went away.
That[above] may not help. Maybe borrow a friends modem, maybe try a 'move' to an area that gets good bandwidth[may not be possible within contract, or other], or you have done the troubleshooting and I should just STFU.:-)
*disclaimer* I have called tech support regarding internet connectivity, only to be told that:[paraphrased, mostly]:
"Suddenlink.net tech support: Yes, there was a bad accident in your locale that took out your internet.
Me: ???? What?
SL tech: Yeah. A truck hit a pole and knocked out the internet.
Me:?????!!!! A truck in OKLAHOMA knocked out the WHOLE internet?
SL tech: Yes sir, that's about the size of it.
Me: Uhm...okay. Thank you."
Having worked as tech support for Creative Labs in the past, I shall cast no stones from this glass house.:-)
If you think that 30% or 40% of the population wouldn't have something ABOUT that intelligent to say....
Your low level of pessimism implies you haven't been paying close attention lately, but with your./ UID, I'd say you still have a chance to develop a suitable level someday.:-)
You give "people" too much credit.
Indeed. From the mouth of babes....
Oh yeah, GET OFF MY LAWN! (obligatory here);-)
BTW, please apply a 'Good natured ribbing' filter to the above comment.:-) For the record, I do agree with you, with the exception of your(IMHO) overly optimistic estimates.
Much more interesting to me is what will happen with the dummy that leaked the info.
I would say the very best he can hope for is the rest of his life spent chopping wood with a dull axe, under the anxious and eager scrutiny of the trigger happy guards at Ft. Leavenworth. I saw one of these work details in action while I was on guard duty during Basic Training at Ft. Leonard Wood, circa 1977.[Ft. Lost in the Woods, A.K.A. Little Korea(due to the harsh winters)]
More than likely, he'll spend a lengthy vacation at that infamous D.O.D. vacation hotspot, Gitmo. Surf's up, dude! He'll get to go waterboarding everyday...no matter how many times he confesses!
Article 106 of the UCMJ defines this offense as punishable by death.
As a nation, and a society here in the U.S.A., we've lost the spine to carry through with that nowdays.[2] The government would have to provide more info than they want to; to sentence him to 'Death'.
[1]You would think that an Intelligence Analyst would be smarter than to let the leak lead back to him.
[2]Purely my observations from a limited perspective. I hope I'm wrong...
*Disclaimer:* I'm not debating the 'right-ness', or the 'wrong-ness' of Bradley Manning's reasons or motives. The truth of the matter is, he's FSCKED!. Literally, figuratively, and truly...fscked.

To answer your question:

Hypothesis
The first known mention of the term was in the writings of the 5th century BC Greek philosopher Anaxagoras.[1] In the nineteenth century it was again revived in modern form by several scientists, including Jöns Jacob Berzelius (1834),[2] Kelvin (1871),[3] Hermann von Helmholtz (1879) and, somewhat later, by Svante Arrhenius (1903).Hypothesis

[...]Step 8: Invocation/boot procedures. Place badger in center of fireproof surface, making sure ventilation is adequate and all doors are locked. Turn off all cell phones and pagers, and cease using all other unapproved electronic devices. Using the badger's blood, smear a foot-wide pentagram around its body. Place origami code-badger at the top point of pentagram, and light paper while making the boot incantation:
Suse vivo vixi victum reduco is ea id creatura absit decessus a facultas Linux! Dev root, dev root!
*
The paper should burn with green flames. Black or gray means the herbs were improperly prepared. Purple flames indicate kernel panic; douse the flames with the bucket of holy water and abandon installation site immediately. Seek shelter at the nearest church or other consecrated area. You may need to enlist the assistance of an exorcist if you cannot reach shelter in time.
*
When you produce green smoke, it should flow over the badger and into its mouth and nose. The badger will awaken as a Linux-powered zombie. Enjoy your new undead badger. Common Problems
* Reanimation puts most creatures in a foul mood, and the test badger woke up murderously angry, requiring a hasty launch of FleshGolem to get the beast under control. It is highly recommended to have the computer close at hand during the incantation.
*
If the badger isn't responding correctly, you may need to make some configuration adjustments via Telnet; instructions are in the VüDü manual.
*
If the badger does not respond at all to the boot incantation, call Twisted Faces' tech support. Make sure to try all other troubleshooting options first. After two free calls, tech support will cost you an arm and a leg . . . and they'll only accept fresh, gangrene-free limbs.
