Yeah, but the ion thrusters used on probes like Deep Space 1 use electricity for propulsion. Of course, almost all of these guys got their electricity from solar panels rather then RTGs. Otherwise, they would have probably gotten more bang for their mass through good old fashion chemical rockets.
Plug the Walkman's headphone jack into your computer's line in, rip the tapes, and burn them to a CD. 'Twould keep the sound quality from getting any worse as the tapes get worn out. (And I really couldn't care less if the RIAA tried to claim this isn't fair use or I that don't have a right to fair use at all.)
Yes, but Nintendo did a fairly impressive job masking the load times in allot of their flagship titles on the Cube. I mean, the longest loading screen you'd see in Smash Bros. Melee was the second it took to start the fight after you selected a level.
Actually, I wouldn't mind paying for tv with no ads too. Well, thats what iTunes and the like, along with DVDs, are for. I read on wikipedia that they release "vanilla" Doctor Who DVDs in the UK as soon as they get enough episodes to fill a disc. No bonus features, but you also don't have to wait almost a year for the discs to come out.
If someone pulls a knife on you, do you pull out your grenade launcher?
No, that's just not a good idea. I mean, if someone is coming at you with a knife, he's probably at very close range, so if you tried using a grenade launcher, you'd probably taking yourself out with him. (The range for splash damage is probably understated in most video games.) A shotgun or a submachinegun would be a far better choice.
My first games were on single sided floppies for my Dad's Fat Mac. I was like two or three, but I can remember Count On Mac, Concentration, Daleks (which, at the time, I never understood), Battleship, and Pinball Construction Set. Later, it was Prince of Persia, Sufflepuck Arcade, and Specter on the Classic before we upgraded to the Performa and got color! Actually, I can remember allot of the games from this page.
USB wound up being used for devices that were really more suited for firewire, such as external hard drives and CD burners, because it was cheaper to implement and there were (and still are) quite a few machines out there that have USB but not firewire.
Living in New England, the first place I think of if someone talks about Portland is the one over in Maine. Besides, even the non-localized version of the Weather Channel (the one you get if you have DirecTV or Dish) lists both Portlands in national rundown they give you in place on local weather.
Based on my understanding, you're going to "break into earth orbit" upon return anyway; it's a matter of whether you keep breaking and re-enter, or orbit a bit first..
No, not really. The Apollos didn't preform any breaking maneuvers on the way back to Earth, they just hit the atmosphere at full speed and scrubbed off their speed there. If you enter shallow enough, you can burn off more speed in the upper atmosphere before you start getting into the thicker air, and a sufficiently durable heat shield turned out to be lighter then the fuel that would have been required to slow the ship down. In fact, even orbiting spacecraft generally burn as little fuel as possible to get themselves just bellow orbital velocity and then do the rest as atmospheric breaking.
What Black and White taught me about morality: when a father offers up his son as sacrifice, spare the son but kill the father. The father gets converted to mana instantly, and the son becomes an ardent worshiper, generating mana for later. Win-win. (Besides, the father was a bit of a jerk. If your not serious enough to offer yourself, don't bother me with your first born.)
Native swing... you mean AWT? The problem with native controls is that they behave differently and have different capabilities from one platform to the next, meaning that if you are trying to create a cross-platform wrapper library around them, you have to aim for the least common denominator. Hence, they just gave up, left AWT where it was and started work on Swing.
So, no cake for PS3 owners? I find this whole thing mildly amusing, having been playing TF2 without framerate issues on my two year old PC since the beta came out what, two months ago? (Demoman FTW!)
Funny that you mention Boeing. For quite a while, Airbus was using modified Boeing aircraft to ship subassemblies between their various facilities. Cause, you know, while centralization would save all sorts of fuel, it wouldn't spread the work (and the money) around the EU. Airbus eventually made its own oversized planes, citing the high maintainence costs and the need for even larger cargo, but I can't help but the prospect of getting rid of a competitor's airframe didn't enter into it.

Alright, I'll talk! The rebels are based on Dantooine. Just spare Earth, please.
Probably.

Perhaps the GP is suggesting that you get a laptop embedded directly into your brain. I, for one, welcome our new cyberbrain overlords.

Oversized gaudy jewelry is also accepted.
Its on Steam for like $18.
Ah, so this is where the idea for the Clacks came from.

Of course, if a system that's already been issued a developer key gets stolen, your SOL.
I'm guessing the GP was talking about Flash Gordon, which probably pushes this into category four, campy.
Which Portland is this? Oregon, Maine, or some Portland in between? While not quite as common as Springfield, there are still a few of them.

Well, I suppose kuller would be funnetic spelling, but no one would recognize it.
