1. Well considering they were out of fuel (even though amazingly the ship had energy left, could be that it was fuel for the main engines only) it would likely of been an emergency stop. Also, they likely would have left because of the conditions on the planet and not wanting to actually stay in the first place.
2. From the size of the 'command module' it could be that there was only a small number of people who knew how to run the ship/create the fuel. They could have been transporting their people to a colony.
3. It may not be an intentional dual purpose but maybe it has the issue of mutating DNA.
Some movies have plot holes so you can use something many people seem to lack, an imagination.
The only time where they might not extend service is if the person is right at the end of the line and the extra distance is 'just' enough to require an extra amplifier/whatever. Odds of this happening are very little, of course.
Also, if you are using a UV laser (with some way to figure out exactly where you are aiming it from that distance) the ability to track where it is coming from is much more difficult.
Unless you are talking about upload rates, ISDN, connections through cell towers, fractional t1 lines, etc. are the only things I have seen even close to that rate in a LONG time.
Oh, and dedicated server providers for servers that only need internet access for management, etc.
It is even more fun if you are feeding sound into a stereo system playing music and a random sound comes on loud enough to deafen you. This is why I disable sound on any program possible.
Lost a speaker once because even with the volume controls on the stereo and computer turned to almost maximum whatever was playing was extremely quiet, all of a sudden either a program or website (I forget) started playing sound unexpectedly.
Yes windows allows per program control and pulse audio on linux probably allows control for every separate flash applet depending on the configuration but if you don't react fast enough you can still get hit with annoying/deafening sounds.
I know it was a joke. But for the computer illiterate that might actually WANT this, it could be a separate page on the user account to choose 'I want this' or 'Disable this piece of **** now'
The difference is when it is leaked and when it is an intentional release there is no way to guarantee the program will even start (depending on what was leaked), plus the fact that half the people viewing the game probably got it as '_________ Leaked Copy!' Not... '_________ Development Alpha Release.... There are probably 1000 things wrong with this but you can try it if you want'.
Calling it Beta or Alpha also doesn't mean much to 90%+ of people, you are lucky if someone has heard the term Beta let alone understand it. They just see 'test out this new game' and somehow miss the 10 paragraphs of warnings it might fry their system.
Ever see mythbusters? They gave voice instructions to a blind person and he was able to drive a vehicle fairly well.
The main issue is any systems/standardizations that would need to be performed to interact with lights, etc. but that is already being worked on for self driving cars, etc.
A newton metre is dimensionally equal to a joule, the SI unit of energy and work. However, it is not appropriate to express a torque in joules â" the units are necessary to distinguish a torque quantity from an energy quantity.[3]
This gives them another excuse to ban many websites (even if they already do, now they have another reason to).... facebook, myspace, etc. all have applications that are mob/mafia/gangster based. They could probably ban a large portion of flash game websites.
And then if he looses millions of people know not only that there was (maybe) mold in the apartment, but also that if you rent with this guy and complain about it publicly you might get sued.
They could potentially still delete copies automatically when the software sees a message when it connects to their servers when you want to download another book. It doesn't have to be DRM enabled, it could just be a 'feature' in the software that matches an embedded 'purchaser id, seller id, purchase id' combination. It doesn't stop you from copying the book to as many locations as you want and using it however you want, but they could still delete it from your kindle and track when an average person uploads it to bittorrent.
What if they discovered they sent out an e-book that either freezes up the kindle or makes it non functional under common circumstances. Would you want them to be able to delete it remotely and update the valid version automatically?
There are circumstances where they could potentially need this, but it should be an option on the kindle itself or your account. 'Allow amazon to remove books from my kindle remotely', possibly with multiple options for different circumstances (remote management from the website, invalid ebooks that could potentially damage the device, etc.)
Odds are the computing device accessed amazon's servers and destroyed the data. It isn't like they hacked all of the devices. You probably agreed to remote removal of data somewhere (I could see it as a possible feature if you were able to manage your library from amazon's website as well as the kindle itself).

Actually you could still represent density with one dimension. The closer the dots are the denser the material.
The possibility of setting up 'free/cheap cell phone access points' so people can bypass att, verizon, etc.?

I believe he was thinking damaging the plane.

Sometimes you can renew the cheap DSL rates if you agree to another 12 month contract, it just depends on the company

Any Linux distribution running pulseaudio (and I think others) allows per program control.

That and the companies that own them probably don't want to provide parking.
Yes but that is easily bypassed by [this text has been removed due to a DMCA notice]

So he sues and it gets picked up multiple large Internet sites. That one backfired just a little bit.

Slashdot interface was causing my system to lag, accidently modded parent redundant
Many (not all) games have an option that restricts framrates to the monitors refresh rate.
PDAs, handheld game systems, gps systems, etc.
