You clearly don't know a lot about science. It's not about 'proving' things 'definitively'.
I agree that it's nothing to do with evolution, and could just be merely the result of brain damage. Or perhaps the monkey has muscle or bone damage that prevents it from using its hands in walking.
Wing-warping is hardly a good method compared to ailerons, elevators and rudder. It isn't extendable to higher MTOWs. Try to get it to work on anything not made of fabric or some other composite.
Also their first 12 second flight is hardly what can be called 'sustained' by any disinterested observer. It's too short to know whether it was controlled or just happened by accident.
Not likely. When Boeing gets it up and running, and can patent it, it will then squash it as if it had never existed. Have you read The Manna Enzyme by Richard Hoyt?

I agree. Conversely, an article published a year ago in a magazine will be in a doctor's waiting room for the next decade, so it'll be just as damaging.
While a web page can be unpublished and republished using at(1) and telnet several times a minute.
I don't think there's any difference.
To the original question, there's also no difference. Setting the limit one year from the date of last access would be as absurd as if you set the date for a magazine one year from the date it was last read.
Notice how symmetrical are the faces of Princess Fiona, Lara Croft and Aki Ross? You can construct a face out of as many polygons or whatever as you like but if they're the same ones on both sides you're not trying.
I visited Parkes two years ago. The Dish is f*cking humungous and used to be the biggest steerable radio telescope in the world. Not that it matters in the context of a movie, but in the A11 days Parkes was really only backup for Tidbinbilla, near Canberra. Parkes was designed for listening to deep space, not relaying TV signals. As B747SP says the Parkes dish really does show a wide variety of colours depending on the time of day.
In AutoCAD (R14 IIRC), there was a drawing solar.dwg which was a movie of the solar system at work. You could add your own planets and give them all weird masses and initial velocities. Then you just sat back and watched them crash into each other and stuff. I think it was only in 2D though.
They'll send the winner to the bottom of the Pacific instead? A month aboard Mir is a month aboard Mir, after all.
Assuming it crashes where it's intended to, I mean Skylab was supposed to come down in the ocean too. (But I think Skylab was completely uncontrollable at the time, unlike Mir.)
I'm still trying to stop 5.1 from expiring. Every single link to the registration-disabling patch points to the dead stardivision.de site. The newsgroup is morbid too.
On the contrary, my understanding is that cats buttered on their backs will, when launched, reach a point near the ground (called the Alpha Floor by the feliologists at Airbus Industrie) and will then start spinning around their long axis, wanting to put both the buttered side and the pawed side on the ground. Like those 'levitating' magnets you see around the place.
In contrast, putting butter on a cat's feet will fix it to the ground indefinitely.

Washington DC is at 3852' North, so that's not bad but the Aurora Australis has been seen as far north as Adelaide at 3452' South, ie further from a pole. Just a useless fact.

Well, what could we have as Pi Day in non mm-dd-yy areas?
Astronomy always uses yy-mm-dd, so 3-14 works there as in the US.
In dd-mm land, we get 31-4 or May Day = Pi Day, or (this is my favoUrite) 3-14, i.e., Pi Day 2000 is 3-2-2001!
Similarly, using astronomical dates, we could also have 31-4 meaning the 4th day of the 31st month in 2000, or 4-7-2002. See you then!

These people were not told of the risks. That's the difference.
I thought THC slowdown was the result of smoking too much wacky baccy.
I thought that was daylight saving.
As far as I'm concerned, if he came up with it independently, it's a genuine invention. It's not his fault the stupid white man didn't know about it.
We used evaporative coolers (Coolgardie safes) a century ago on the goldfields. But they're much more complicated.
Well, NASA was fined $400 for dumping Skylab on Australia. There's no life in Australia, so the fine for Mars should be a bit higher.
