...entangled photons, use one to illuminate the target and...
Taken at face value, that would be sending photons to nebulas millions of light-years away, and then waiting another million+ years for them to bounce off the target and arrive back here.
At least the cockroaches will have these great space-themed calenders.
Maybe if there was a way to bounce photons off of the second half of the summary you'd have been able to read it.
Can anyone explain to me how someone would even believe this particular statement?
Sure. Think about 1 - 0.999... it gives you 0.000... = 0. You might worry about a 1 sitting out there in the "infiniteth" decimal place, but remember that you can never get there; the 1 never happens. Since 0.000... = 0 then 1 - 0.999... = 0 and 0.999... = 1. Nothing fancy.
The problem is that I do this no matter what I'm doing - I'll blink into a dream state when showering, holding a conversation, or driving even when I'm well rested. I have to avoid thinking or I get sucked in.
If this happens with any regularity you shouldn't drive.

Whatever you do, don't post in Idle, because no one goes there.
Better yet, he should take down the images, but bill Toyota for the "labor" (after all, he has to figure out which images contain Toyotas). Then he just needs to file the counter-takedown paperwork, and put all of the images back up.
You are right that NASA has not updated it's site since 2006. Just to be clear, the Impact Risk Page is kept current (pretty much to the day). You'll see the link for Apophis if you scroll down a little. If the odds of impact jumped by a factor of 100, this would be one of the first places to show it.
They are using "free market" ideals against us! What are they trying to do to us by making things we want, less expensive and less restrictive? But there's one thing the Chinese can't duplicate! That "Apple Logo" (tm) that makes me feel smart, warm and cozy every time I buy one of their products. At first, I found myself wanting to buy anything with an "i" in front of the name, but then I realized I was just being an iDiot (tm). Now I look for the Apple mark on it before I buy because then I know I will be happy... just look at all those happy people dancing! It's because of Apple right?
I wouldn't count on that logo, if I were you.
From TFA:
A few days before Apple's launch, an online video surfaced depicting a sleek new product called the P168 [watch the video below]. The phone came in a black box, marked with both the iPhone and the Apple logos. The video showed the phone being unpacked and operated (the start-up screen also featured the Apple branding).
Those happy dancing people may have been deceived.
yeah... um... what happened to using the weight of a milliliter (cubic centimeter) of pure water at sea level?
1) I think you mean liter of water instead of milliliter. The later has a mass of 1 g.
2) I suspect that the definition of liter is based on the volume of 1 kg of pure water at standard temperature and pressure, and not the other way around.
Your spaceship example is essentially the Twin Paradox. The short version of the solution is that you can't neglect acceleration. The two ships that move away in your example must accelerate, and that changes their relationship to the third ship.
If I push on a wall, I am exerting energy and force but there is no displacement.
And in the case of gravity, even a rigid body is exerting energy to keep a mass from accelerating towards the center of gravity. It is just that the expended energy is distributed to the atomic and molecular bonds of the rigid body that is working to counteract gravity (and continuously generating heat in the process, as any compression of a rigid body will do).
When you push on a wall, the force from your arm does no work. However, you grow tired because work is being done at the cellular level in you body. Your muscles require energy to remain contracted.
A compressed rigid (or non-rigid) body is only going to generate heat while it is being compressed. After that it cools. If that were not the case, I could heat my apartment by stacking up a pile of rocks.

You're very clever, young man, very clever, but it's error lights all the way down!

Geosynchronous orbit has nothing to do with escape velocity. You'll always be a factor of sqrt(2) below escape velocity for any (circular) orbit.

a lot of it goes to - using the obvious examples - stuff the war in Iraq and NASA
A lot of the budget goes to NASA? Try 0.6%
I call bullshit on this story. You can clearly see that NASA hasn't "agreed" at all.
Woosh...
Hint: Imagine Bush saying "terrorist".

You've answered your own question. AO is the kiss of death. That's what it's for.
Was your friend into overclocking, perhaps?

The Wii already replaces the Gamecube, and probably all of the other Nintendo systems you listed (via downloads).

Wouldn't the correct term be "star system" or "stellar system"?
Solar system refers to the Sun and its planets.
But how many are "gun-related"? I can think of a 3 letter word that would precede "shot" that would account for that number of hits.
gun?
You have End of Evangelion and Death and Rebirth switched.
Death is the rehash, and End is the... well, end.
Have you tried the DS since it dried out? The battery might need recharged, but it may still work.
How much does it cost to keep someone jailed for two years? I'd imagine it costs more than a DVD does.
Did the electromagnet heat the water maybe?
