It's like trying to watch a farrelly brothers movie dubbed into German, it's stupid, AND it doesn't make any sense.
Are you sure you just don't understand the series and are trying to blame it on something other than it's complexity. I have never in my life seen so many freaking appendices attached to a comic book. It is a horrible horrible method. I still have no idea how people have sex in the future. Yes it's in the comic book for those of you who actually own the old copy. I had fun rereading in my university's library.
Why is it that the name of the company that is making the Stargate video game is also the same name of the complex in Stargate??? The whois is also a bit odd with their eimail adress.
Take a lot at the Museum of Science's exhibit about Star Wars. They have plenty of props and there is also some exhibits that are related to the movie. http://www.mos.org/doc/1857
Anyway, there are no two ways about it. These modern safety systems add weight. And adding weight increase friction, which raises fuel consumption. Additionally, unless you have 100% effective regenerative braking, you also lose noticable energy (from the fuel) into the brakes each time you slow down.
Meh... The government did the calculations for vehicles created in 2001. 4% of weight and cost of the car is the governments fault. They were also more thorough than seatbelts and airbags (ie side impact protection).

All these safety systems, by the way, has added a lot to the cost of cars and reduce the mileage they get by adding weight.
Worst mileage compared to what?? The vehicles of your yore. I hope not because their idea of safety was to encase the vehicle in as much steel as they could because that made the vehicles heavier and really didn't change the safety.
Nope but you can fold your own steam engine

It's a group that's united by a love of offbeat science and technology; of underdog inventors like Fuller, Farnsworth, and Tesla; and certainly of arcane facts
I was having this same discussion with my mother about this too. Of course for some weird reason the discussion involved poison. I think she pointed out the fact that animals die from drinking antifreeze and then I pointed out that someone was poisioned with antifreeze recently in Boston. Then I also pointed out that people who are poisioned with cyanide usually smell of almonds when people preform an autopsy. Then I said," Wait a second why the hell do I know that?" My mom said,"You wanted to be a forensic scientist and you read that in one of your books."
For all of the "evolutionists" out there... The world of science can't explain the power source for a "permanent" magnet as it hangs on a refrigerator door, YET you can explain the "origin of species". Hubris?
No.... It just proves how little you know about magnetism.
We can also stop AIDS and other communciable diseases in humans by killing them as well.
Hey... We can stop the spread of AIDS if people stoped having sex or used protection. Too bad the bird flu isn't spread by sex with birds.

It seems a bit strange to me that an "all metal aircraft" can have sufficient heat insulation for an orbital re-entry... someone can clarify this?
Im not sure about the shuttle but the Apollo mission always used ablative cooling. Basically the concept is similar to sweating. A metal with a high vaporization actually turns into a gas that channels the heat away. This article has more information: http://www.nasa.gov/lb/centers/ames/news/releases/ 2004/moon/adventure_apollo.html Unfortunately, the problem with this system is weight and I doubt they could actually get a decent payload into space with this system. I remember reading NASA rejected the idea for this type of system for the space shuttle because it would result in no extra weight.
Hm... I've just done an extensive search and all I found was a "Penis casting kit". An interesting idea in itself, but requires the replicated object to already exist in 3D:-)

I am amazed at the amount of stupidity that is displayed on this website and the websites that it links to. First of all let's list the inaccuracies:
But NASA keeps insisting on plutonium power for space probes--even as the Rosetta space probe, launched this year by NASA's counterpart, the European Space Agency, with solar power providing all on-board electricity, now heads for a rendezvous with a comet near Jupiter.
It's Pluto not Jupiter. Pluto. Pluto has practically no solar radiation reaching the planet. Solar cells are useless. This is linked from the main article
The Pentagon has long stated that they will require nuclear reactors to provide power for space-based weapons. NASA says that each of its space missions will now be dual use, meaning military and civilian at the same time. The obvious next question is what is the military application for nuclear power in space?
And this is relevant how?? The probe isn't even using a reactor.
On January 11, the window opens for a launch from Cape Canaveral of a rocket lofting a space probe with 24 pounds of plutonium fuel on board. Plutonium is considered the most deadly radioactive substance.
Ummm... You can hold plutonium in your hand. It's fairly safe if you don't inhale it. Alpha particles can be stopped with a piece of paper and most everyone has a source of alpha particles in their home. In fact one of the first power sources for the pacemakers was a RTG. http://www.orau.org/ptp/collection/Miscellaneous/p acemaker.htm Also, your post should be modded offtopic because they don't launch these probes on the rockets they use for the shuttle. This one probe is launch on the Atlas V.
How about bilking the tax payers over 6K per head for public schools at a rate that is twice as high as the average private school with half the results?
Not sure about where you are from but my parents pay taxes for kids that attend private schools and the dam school doesn't even do as well as the public one.
Remember Slashdot's slogan. News for nerds. Soda and coffe combined. The two drinks seperately are a neccesaity for nerds to survve. Combined they form the uber drink of doom that no nerd can live without.
