It's usually places like parking garages and gas stations that don't want to take them. But fifties seem to be more commonly accepted these days. Even the automated pay stations at the BWI parking garage will take fifties.
The best thing is to drop all this and let your system's natural immunity develop. Overprescription of AV software just encourages the growth of AV resistant viruses. Basic hygiene is still important, so wash your computer and all peripherals daily with warm soapy water. That will eliminate 99.9% of all viruses. Also data.
I recently came across a 3.5" floppy disk while rummaging though the home office. I'm pretty sure it's no more than 12 years old. Curious as to what was on it, I discovered that none of my (working) computers had a floppy drive. It looks like I lose. Or I have to finally replace the power supply in the older machine that does have a floppy drive, but I'm far too lazy for that.
I was not involved in this study, but I've published in Icarus before. It's a good journaly, but has notoriously slow publication times. If you actually look at the article, you'll see that the original submission date was Nov. 2008. It went through review and was sent back for revision. Given the time, it's likely the revision was also sent out for review. It was accepted in July 2009. It's probably been available on the website shortly after that, but because Icarus only prints a certain number of articles per issue, it's taken this long to slog through the publishing queue.
Firstly, diamonds are unstable at Earth surface pressure. They'll eventually invert to a different polymorph. Secondly, they're made of carbon. Chuck it in a fire and it will burn. Now, zircons, those are forever. They can survive being subducted into the mantle and re-erupted onto the surface. They're the oldest minerals on Earth. There are some that are over 4 billion years old.
Only in Newtonian mechanics. However, if the objects' velocities are so fast that they would sum to more than the speed of light, then you need to use relativity. In no reference frame does the velocity of one relative to the other exceed c. I'm afraid I'm too lazy to look up the formula. The shelf with all my physics books on it must be 10 feet away from me (although at 0.8c it's only 6 feet).
He registered this year. You can only post as far back in time as your original registration date. Otherwise, you will cause a paradox in the space-time continuum of the quantum deflector hyper-inertial technobabble capacipotater, resulting in the total and complete destruction of the entire universe for a period of five minutes plus or minus eighteen billion years. And since we're talking about time travel, the "or minus" really does apply. After/before that everything's fine, but doesn't smell too good. This could all be obviated if Slashdot would spring for a reverse-polarity buttercream laser neutrino charger, but they won't shell out the fifteen bucks for it.
My place of employment used to forbid cameras on the premises. They've relaxed that for cell phones because they recognize that it's virtually impossible to get a cell phone without a camera, and they're not about to try banning cell phones.

Never a mod point when you need one...
"Hitting" the Moon isn't the real challenge. We did that spectacularly last year.
And yet, agriculture flourished in Africa, Asia, and Europe for millenia before maize was brought over to be included in the crop rotation.
I think it's closer to 1 in 2.
I'm pretty sure chickens can't catch rabies.

Oh, right. The bone-crushing. I always forget about the bone-crushing.

Cassini doesn't even have enough delta-v available to get another Iapetus flyby during the Solstice mission. It's not leaving the Saturn system.

Yes, if only there were a set of standards for the Aerospace industry to follow, or a list of approved parts for use in space missions.
Conjunction.
Er, it's 186,000 miles per second.
No, MESSENGER is going into orbit around Mercury next year.

They need a watch with a second hand, millenium hand and an eon hand.
The remote for my DVD player actually has a button labeled "Anykey". Dunno what it does.
Spin 1/2, since we got fermions involved.
Well, before we can do that we have to change the fundamental nature of neutrons such that they HAVE a polarity to reverse!

Hey, don't forget about the "superposition of eigenstates".
Money aside, I can't imagine that scientific research will ever reach a status where little post-secondary education is required.
