Hydrazine has an auto ignition temperature "on iron rust surface" of 24 deg C. My suspicion(well it's not really a suspicion because IAARS) is that they probably didn't use steel. Maybe something like titanium which melts closer to 1700 deg C. You also forget that you can put a paper cup full of water next to a fire and it won't burn till the water boils off. Anyway, fuel tanks surviving are a real problem when things reenter.
Your sound card/chip is probably samples at 44.1kHz or whatever the standard number is and therefore is incapable of producing said tone correctly. Also, most headphones don't reproduce sound at those frequecies well (or at all). I don't doubt that you had an audible tone, but it probably was not an accurate reproduction of the tone although it is probably "close enough".
Global warming is caused by the friction of the founding fathers spinning in their graves.
No it's not. They dug them up and put them on air bearings in the 70's because the whine was getting to loud then.
Never mind proof, what indication do you even have of this other than your gut feeling?
He said he was an atheist; he never indicated that he was guided by reason/logic/scientific method.
Remember kids,
Atheist does not imply scientist/logician
And this is where rational thinking and negociation break down. How do you reason with somebody which think you are trying to put down the prophet of its deity ?
On the flip side, how do you reason with someone who is absolutly convinced that you're an F*ing moron and everything you believe is just stupid and they're really only talking to you to prove their point?
I imagine in an ideal world most people are reasonable, but the "for us or against us" groups on both sides are so vocal and attacking that the reasonable people feel forced to the unreasoning extremes.
You had video games? Luxury.
Luxury had nothing to do with it! It was all about hard work. When I was young we had empty coke bottles fished out of the trash can to make transistors. Then strung em all together to emulate a C64! 5.25 FOOT "floppies" made of stone that we had to chisel the bits into by hand to program the game!

GET OFF MY LAWN!
The only issue I have with the entire system is that Vista has this annoying file that runs from time to time that puts my CPU at 100%, causing my movies to lag, which i'm hoping gets fixed in SP1. Outside of that issue, it works really well.
It's called the kernel, they're updating it, but that probably won't fix your problem. Sorry.
I skipped all of them and went Linux instead. Do i win something?
YES! I will email you the info on how to claim your fabulous prize pack as soon as KDE 4 finishes compiling on my pentium pro Gentoo box...
Simply put: some of our media is an entry barrier of our culture.
One may not want to watch it, or not care too much, but to blend with "normal" people, one needs to watch some of the movies/music to connect to many people.
Does one have to watch everything? Of course not. However, I do believe that there is some minimal amount of material one has to know about to blend with other normal people.
Yeah that worked really well in Galaxy Quest!
If a rock would burn up on reentry, why not a hunk of metal?
It's a function of things like the heat of ablation, suface area and mass relationships, and where in the spacecraft the object begins.
Rocks like to break up into lots of little things with reasonable heating areas and masses; satellites not so much. Ti bolts don't like to go because of low heating area and high ablation temps. Ti Fuel tanks don't because they again don't ablate, have high area to low mass which makes it less likely to go because they come down slower, and the rest of the sat has to go before it starts to heat. The mirrors and lenses are similar.
If he is in charge of foreign policy won't he just try and push DMCA on other countries now?
Yup. The copyright laws are suitably draconian now in the good old US of A that the media companies can move move to big guns to the getting you foreigners in line.
And we only use organic beeswax, gathered from our own honeybee colonies, which feed exclusively on a diet of Brazilian orchid nectar. Anything else and you're just an amateur.
Actually it's fairly well known that using "Brazilian orchid nectar" bees introduces the slightest buzzing into the playback. What has actually been shown to be best is Carnauba wax tempered with the earwax from virgins who have never heard of Britney Spears (this is important) much less heard her meeting Beethoven in the Biblical sense.
I would also encourage you to put yourself in the shoes of someone who has brown skin for once. But that might be asking too much.
Ugh I did that accidentally one time in the screening line. Talk about a cavity search!
The current ban wouldn't stop that anyway. It keeps you from having the batteries in checked luggage. You can still carry them on. It might be to prevent that sort of thing from happening in the hold, but would that really be a danger to the plane?

He's seeking a business method patent, but decided to take the lazy route in the search for prior art!

Well to be fair that's what they SAID they were doing. I suspect that they were using other methods to "transfer information".
Yeah that worked really well in Galaxy Quest!
I have rectuscatchum disorder you insensitive clod!
I would imagine the real trouble will come when you try to integrate it with the usual suspects.

A specific protein in the movies vs an anti-biotic in real life!
I guess I welcome our genetically engineered super mosquito overlords!
There fixed that for you
No it's enough to make you wish you had enough money to buy your own politicians, so you could write the laws you wanted.
It's ok we have lots of clear technical documentation.
...oh wait we're talking about NASA. Yeah we're screwed as far as that goes.
Sincerly, CmdrTaco
Yeah BSD is dying just like $YEAR is the year of linux on the desktop
I read that all american's were asian.
appologies to eugene murman
