The flip side is that an aluminum body is completely recyclable. Also, 'waste' aluminum from milling can just get recycled right off the bat. If you look at the carbon footprint for just making one plastic and one metal laptop, the plastic will probably win. But if you look at the carbon footprint of a plastic laptop and its 3 plastic replacements, and a metal laptop and its three metal replacements, the metal ones just might do better.
Yes, I am aware that the metal from one laptop will not directly go into that next chassis, but hey, if they they're all recycled and made from recycled, it works out the same in the end.
Fails to mention EA's Battlefield Heroes no? I haven't played yet, but I've heard it has potential. Just a fun game to mess around with for half an hour or something.

Its ridiculous inconsistent on a year by year basis right now. Basically, they have no idea on a year to year basis if it'll be open, kind of open, or just completely covered with solid ice. It makes any commercial use nearly impossible.
A SMG is technically a subset of Machine Guns in the sense that they both fire full auto. But in common usage, a machinegun refers to a gun firing a rifle cartridge or larger, while a SMG fires pistol rounds. Huge difference there. So to call a SMG a machine gun would be like calling an assualt rifle a machine gun on the account that an assualt rifle also fires automatic. 'Technically' correct in a horridly incorrect and misleading way.
Cooling might be a problem. If your laser is powerful enough to vaporize a couple tons of debris, and transfer enough kinetic energy to change their orbit so they no longer intersect, its going to generate a good deal of heat. Maybe the ISS's current radiator can't handle it. Firing rockets is easier cause you get to dump all a lot of waste heat into your reaction mass and throw it into the void.
NASA doesn't have any spy satellites. The Defense Department does. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few fields of debris from US spy satellites that haven't been announced or anything. Such information is somewhat sensitive, and official denial may be important. Could be anything from 'protect the existence the other spy satellites in its family' to 'let's save face'. To be fair, I could totally see your DoD doing something similar.
Regarding shooting, sometimes holding your muscles still takes the same, or more physical effort than moving them. It's a test of fine motor skill. It's arguable if the current choice of Olympic shooting events are the most physically challenging of international shooting formats, but the principle is there.
See the RQ14 Dragon Eye. It's a Marine Corp UAV. You launch it with a bungee cord. I imagine if your arm was strong enough, you really could launch this one like a paper airplane too.

*shrug* I found it ok. I got around to reading it after watching/reading a bunch of other similarly themed works. Like Equilibrium. So really, I got spoiled into thinking there would be some sort of badass action scene.
Really, the fact that no part really stands out for me probably says something about the book. Reading it was kind of jarring, but I put it off at the 'disturbingness' of the plot/theme/idea. The only thing I remember is how close his wife behaved to stereotyped dumb blonds, NASCAR fans, and/.'s 'Joe Sixpack'.
The amount of dust in the air combined with the power of these lasers (typically 35-100mW) means that for people near the origin of the laser, it looks like there's a dot in the sky. The further away you get, the more it looks like a line.
Even if you managed to perfectly enforce the rule, China would still be picking out children at the age of 5 and training them their entire life. Just instead of competing at age 14, they're competing at age 16. The pressure is always there, and will be the same. I have a feeling that if China was forced to follow the rules, the same kids would be training just as hard for just as long, if not longer. It seems to be the Chinese way. Get children, drill skills and knowledge into them for years and years and years under discipline and pressure and hopefully they turn out as amazing performers. This applies to sports, academics, music, everything. It is the traditional Chinese way. I say that as a child raised under this sort of atmosphere. Though much more relaxed.
Most RTSs have the save reply option as well. They store every action that takes place, including mouse clicks and where they were looking. For example, Starcraft had them, and part of that made certain forms of cheat detection trivial. Map hacks were the most obvious, cause your opponent would be staring at unexplored areas of the map for long periods of time. Or if they were really dumb, they actually clicked on units or buildings out of view.
Remember the 777 wing stress testing? When they loaded the wings till it was about to explode? We covered it on slashdot a while ago. I think that's physical modeling. They may have modeled it on computer first, but they still needed the physical test to confirm.
And I'm sure some designers ended up making small scale mocks, or partial mockups of maintenance bays to make sure everything was easily serviceable and stuff.
And his body. He's like a dolphin. His proportions are perfect for swimming. And then he's double jointed in his ankles, elbows, shoulders AND chest. His armspan is 10cm greater than his height. All he needs now are gills.
STOP SAYING THAT. If we used only a small fraction of our brains, then we would never would have such big brains to begin with. If you mean to say that conscious thought uses only a fraction of the brain, then please make that clear.
The same music isn't there in CD or MP3. That's the whole point. This stuff is out of print, never been released in CD. It's the in summary for god's sake! "There's a whole world of music that you don't hear anymore, and it's on 78 RPM records".
And before something about noise reduction pops up. Noise reduction takes time. He rather put the mp3s up first. Notice the 'yet'. If you really want a song to be cleaner, clean it up yourself and then send the mp3 back to him.
Some nutrients will break down in the cooking process. Others become more available. Cooking vegetables tend to increase the amount of calories, but also loses some micronutrients in the process. Given today's world (1st world anyways) where getting calories isn't too much of a concern, then they can judge that eating raw is 'worth it'. Should be noted that meat doesn't really gain much for being cooked.
Probably will ask you to hold a sheet of paper with diagnostic patterns on it to figure out ambient lighting conditions, and then do a half assed job calibrating from there based on some values stored from the last 'proper' calibration.
Or maybe it comes with a stack of mirrors to hold.
No. Cintiqs are used for serious drawing. The thing about Cintiqs is that they aren't touch screens. They're tablets with a LCD screen built you. You have to use a Wacom stylus. If they built the monitor like a Cintiq on a laptop, it would not be like a tablet PC at all. Stylus only. It would also make it a bitch to draw on. Screen would have to lock at angles, and you would have to counterweight the keyboard so when you press on the screen it doesnt flip over.
In any case, serious artists use whatever tool they're comfortable with. Some swear by the Cintiq, others by Intuos.
Chill. Its an article headline, and even if it were part of an official plan, it would be a catchy slogan with an asterick to make sure dumbasses dont' start pointing out minor technicalities. Read the fucking article. Aims are to be self sufficient in renewable power, to ban vehicles that emit CO2, among other things.
But wait! says the nitpicker. Bicycles emit CO2, does that mean they're banned too? NO! Christ, use some fiscking common sense. They clearly mean motor vehicles, and it should be understood by nearly everyone they mean motor vehicles.
