You're going about this all wrong. You need to skip the developers and go straight to the Slashdot crowd. Offer the loose women and liquor for a PC, and you'll be playing in no time.
It's already oxidized. That would be like asking if rust was going to corrode or if water was going to burn. Aluminum metal corrodes because it bonds easily to oxygen (just like iron and hydrogen).
I think they leave big (i.e., long and deep) wounds open sometimes so they can heal from the inside out. If you just sew the top together, the inside will gape open.
Setting the speed of gravity as c gives an accurate prediction of the precession of Mercury's orbit. I think that was the first widely accepted proof of general relativity. Sounds like a pretty good argument in its favor.
But none of the matter we're talking about is moving anywhere near relativistic speeds, so it shouldn't matter anyway.
It's not the texture you have to worry about. They taste like ammonia. Apparently it's necessary because they don't have a swim bladder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_squid
As crazy as it sounds, I actually know a former Atlanta area police officer who thinks that's exactly why marijuana should stay illegal. It's apparently a common practice to plant something in order to hold someone they know is guilty before they have enough evidence to go to court, or in case some important piece of evidence is excluded from the trial. I don't know how often other police departments do it, but here they look at it as an invaluable tool of the system.
Unless the rebate habits of the general public have changed drastically in the last few years, that $50 price tag is low. For an average rebate, only half submit it correctly if at all, ever for $150. And my Tivo rebate was a bigger pain in the ass than most, since you couldn't submit it until you'd had the service for two months. That means average box price is at least $125. That sounds about right for a crappy computer with a 40 gig HD. And even if that price is still low, you have to pay $13 a month to use the thing; it doesn't really work without the service. They also have licensing for Sonic MyDVD. I don't see where they're losing money on the deal.
My guess is they're gearing up for lawsuits. I can't think of any other reason for them to roll over on the flag and encryption stuff, but even that won't hold off the networks forever.
Good luck getting the teachers to understand it. Computer classes in my high school were taught by football coaches, because the school couldn't justify their salaries without a class or two on their schedules. This stuff isn't so complicated that you need a teacher for it, anyway. It'd be easier just to train the two or three dumbest people in the class or office. That way you'll demystify it a little, and maybe the rest of the class or office will be shamed into showing some initiative and learning what a damned megabyte is.
A quick demonstration is really the best approach. My wife (a big fan of the CNN and NY Times sites) was an instant convert to Firefox when I showed her Flashblock and opening tabs with the middle button. Just show them a couple simple things like that to impress them and establish yourself as "the computer whiz," and they'll be a lot more likely to believe you when you tell them something needs to be done.
Are you talking about our moon? There's no way it's easier. It takes 6 months by Hohman transfer orbit. If you're willing to spend that much time getting there, you could just go into a low orbit around Earth and use a really efficient booster to go in ever-wider circles until you get caught in the moon's gravity. Besides, who cares about going to the moon? This is about exploiting resources, which mostly means bringing stuff here.
As for the asteroids, Mars is closer to the belt, but there are enough nearby to keep us rolling in iron and nickel and whatever else you want for a long time, with the added benefit of not having to deal with Mars' gravity well.
I've seen operating shocks of 2000G listed on other flash cards. I'm surpised they didn't make it higher to match the rest of their claims. I thought the 125C max temp was funnier.
That changed in the last two weeks, I believe. Or at least that's when I found out about the change. The 6 months in Western Europe ban was in effect for at least 4 years.
A gas mask also helps protect someone against tear gas, but that doesn't stop tear gas from being useful against most people.
Yeah, I hadn't thought of that. But gas masks are expensive and complicated in comparison. I guess it's just a matter of whether the person you're shooting expected to get hit by lightning (or gased, in this example) that day.
It also seems like countermeasures would be ridiculously easy. One chicken wire girdle and enough cable to reach the ground, and suddenly you're invincible. Crowbars or metal pickets (not to mention rifles) would probably also make excellent lightning rods.
You must be the guy trailing the cloud of gray smoke that I always end up behind in traffic. More reliable isn't the same as better. I don't remember DOS ever crashing on me, but that doesn't mean I still use it. I'm perfectly willing to pay the price for air conditioning and something better than 10 mpg, and the other stuff (e.g., one o' them fancy Japanese catalytic converters) is pretty nice, too.
I wasn't nitpicking. I just disagreed with a small part of your comment and felt the need to point it out. OK, maybe that's nitpicking, but the description was misleading in a way that lead to the original misunderstanding. None of the orbitals, s or otherwise, are circular. There is no "path." The translational momentum of an electron in a stable orbital is always zero, which means it isn't technically moving. Like I said, it just spreads out to fill the orbital (which is also a misleading term, but it's a little late to change the convention) in a way that makes movement a useful analogy.
An electron in a hydrogen orbital does go in circles.
No, it doesn't. s orbitals are spherical, not circular; that's why they don't have orbital angular momentum. It would be closer to observed behavior to say it spreads out and fills the space around the nucleus.
Yeah, but that's less than a quarter inch of glass. The farther it has to go (e.g., through several feet of fiber obtic cable), the less will make it through.
I'm sure it did. Glass is black to UV, or at least the worst of it. You have to use special material to transmit UV. Mirrors don't reflect it well, either.
The original argument was a little more believable. I can't see Linux programmers trying to hide something they don't believe is wrong, since everybody here (myself included) seems to think software patents or copyrights are nonsense. Even if it's true, they might as well give up now. No way are they gonna make a judge believe that obviously different code does exactly the same thing, whether it's true or not.
The observation brings into doubt the theory stating that planets form from the dust orbiting around a single sun.
No, it doesn't. That's assuming the star system is as old as the planet. There's no way they can see how the four move relative to each other, so they're just guessing. The two most likely scenarios I can think of are that a star with a planet drifted into a binary system, or three stars and failed star (gas giant) managed--by chance--to drift together without crashing into each other. When they can show me four stars in eliptical orbits in the same plane, then I'll be impressed, but it'll still only suggest a big star had two gas giants big enough to start burning.

A sheet of 20 lb. copy paper is about 100 microns thick.

Why would we want to keep wounds open?

Speak for yourself. Porn collections can be pretty demanding.
