The awful movie Antitrust did this, like 6 times. It was their main way of building suspense. It never works.
Ok, I'm not defending the movie, or it's seemingly-obvious references to Bill Gates (Tim Robbins' character looks like him with the makeup, and all the open-source references?)
However, Antitrust was a decent geek movie. When I went to see it with a buddy from school, we were both picking out the languages being used. Basic plot is a little far-fetched, like the satellites having 10.x.x.x addresses and not names (why not call them sat1, sat2, etc) - and man is that a good wireless connection!
Operation: Takedown was well done, Antitrust at least had real code in it (though it's purpose is unknown (probably made up for the part, but it's C-style syntax in a CodeWarrior-like IDE))
Amazing how many people still don't understand the difference between correlation and causation. I think everyone should take an intro economisc or statistics class just to realize the difference.
what i'd like to see is a live bootable cd for a server that the first time you boot from it with a clean storage drive, it asks for setup preferences and writes those to the hard drive or flash drive.
Note: I am not affiliated with Tomas Matejicek, but his work on this LiveCD is awesome, and I use SLAX for diagnostics, to check out hardware for compatibility with Linux, etc frequently.
up to 5 already? Slow down guys. Nobody wants to upgrade systems they use for actual work that often.
Ubuntu's releasing new editions every few months, are they also in the same 'stability' boat as FC? I run Kubuntu on one of my machines, and it's great. When the update comes out in a couple months, I'll update, just like most rational people do when updates come out for their systems.
Reasoning from analogies is like tying your shoes with laces made of butter.
Whether that's true or not is up for debate, but we do it all the time - I can't think of the last time a new concept was introduced to me without an analogy or metaphor attached. And, while learning the concept, reasoning from the analogy (an analogical argument) was mandated - there was no other way of attacking the problem.
yes they do, unless you subscribe to an optional package that groups them into one.

who says he's gonig to hit it correctly, anyways? If he hits it more or less 'down' towards the earth, it won't make the orbit as long. Also, he's not going to be imparting that much more velocity to the ball beyond the momentum already present by being with the space station.
There's also the ever popular sending snail mail. For a lot of communications, obfuscated and innocuous-at-first-glance mail is a fine communication system. And there's the quite viable communication method of disposable cell phones on one of those prepaid plans.
Showers are a huge point of waste. A few dollars/pounds will get you a shower valve you screw in-line with the shower head. You can then reduce the water flow when you're not actually needing it and then turn it up again to rinse off. Showers generally cost you 3x, incoming water, heating water, waste water charge.
True, you may end up 'paying' for it multiple times, but it's far more efficient than a bath, unless you plan on being in there a long time.

Depends on the sub - if I recall correctly, the Nautilus in Connecticut has the periscope in the main control room.

Well, if they can't leave again, then you're kinda stuck, and you might as well have crashed [:^}

I think you mean they didn't bang these ones up. They did a bang-up job on the Mars Polar Lander.

Man, there's a particularly unfortunate abbreviation.
I know lots of folks have names (first or last) that seem quite funny in some contexts, but Larry Brilliant? Makes me want a Guinness.
Umm.. have you seen the slalom skiers? They're striking those gates pretty hard.
And it's an inverted Swiss flag. You don't see the Swiss up in arms about the infringement.
