I did a little research and I found different figures.
According to the official numbers the average income in 2003 was R$ 8,565. By the end of 2003 a dollar was rated at 2.895 real. That means the average income was about $3,000.

Maybe I'll be breaking some DMCA rules by posting this. But since I'm posting this wirelessly from a laptop in a plane, above international waters, I don't see a problem.

Well, why, it *is* possible indeed, according to the specs in the manual. If you bought a starship and both the manual and the ship dealer clearly state it can reach warp 8, you could sue them if it didn't.
Yes, warp 8 is possible, but not recommended, as the Federation imposed warp 4.7 as a limit for most ships, after Enterprise 1701-D encountered subspace ruptures in a highly travelled area of space in the Alpha Quadrant. If you travel faster than this, you can cause these ruptures - and get fined.
I don't think NCC-1701 would be able to reach a maximum speed of warp 8 with all this drag. If it did, the waves it generated would greatly disturb whatever was at its side.
Sorry, dude, but you're plaing wrong. Space is not vacuum. In fact, quantum physics tells us there even if you wanted, you could not create a perfect vacuum as virtual particles would pop up.
If you wanted to make a perfect vacuum, there would be other problems. First you would have to shield it from the enviroment. It's not that easy to shield, for example, neutrinos. Then the container itself will radiate photons, if it is not kept at a temperature of 0K.
The space contais lots of plasma. For someone used to a pressure of 1 atmosphere, it really seems to be nothing. But if you are cruisig at warp 5, the pressure of the space will be considerable.

In a store next to you, the new and amazing DVD Perforator.
This amazing new product allows you to punch a hole through the DVD, allowing you to use BOTH sides of the media. Use your Single-Side as Double-Side disks without paying extra.
In case you don't know, it will allow you to run a completely virtual machine. You can run Linux, 98, NT, XP, whatever you want, even simultaneously. The nice thing is that you can even take a snapshot and easily restore the whole system to the exact point when you saved it. You can even take a snapshot of a booted system, and when you restore it, it'll already be booted.
What does it matter ? The present mean of trasportation most people use are also dangerous. In the US alone, 43,220 people died in car accidents in 2003. Every year, at leat 40 thousand people are killed this way.
Just for comparison, that's 10 times more than people who died in the WTC.
What does it mean ? That cars are dangerous and are only fair traffic vehicles ?
Everything has a risk involved. The goal is to optimize it. More efficiency with less deaths. Deaths are inevitable.
Yeah, but the person who owned the copyrights died about 2 thousand years ago, in a tragic accident involving a cross and some nails. And left no descendants.
While the brain does use some fats to isolate neurons, it does not get it from fat cells. In fact, there are no fat cells in the brain.
Fat cells are cells are specialized cells that store fat. That's their job. The fat takes up to 85% of the cell volume.
If 30% of the fat cells are destroyed, that only means that the body's fat storage was reduced by 30%. This probably would be excess fat that the body would never use.
Reducing total fat is not harmful to the brain, unless it's reduced to drastically low levels (like this.

How does the picture look in the dark ? Blurred ?
If so, it's because of the camera optics. See, the lenses are small, so they receive a small ammount of light.
So either the image gets too dark or the exposure time must increase to compensate. The problem with it is that any movement or camera shaking will blur the image.
This problem will most certainly disappear once sensors gets enough sensitivity. Then they'll show a nice image, even though they receive little light.
On the other hand, there are MUCH more occasional runners, like those who jog for health benefits, or even fun, than professional runners. Not necessarily wannabes. Not everyone wants to be a professional runner.
So there is market for it. It just depends on the price tag.

You know your furtive co-worker that only wears black suits ? Uh ?
When wearing ties in parties, specially with people you don't know, be sure to ALWAYS use a safe tie.

A mile-wide cube would have also sufficed .

Somehow I can mentally picture Dr. Evil with a giant fresnel lens orbiting Earth and demanding one hundred terabillion dollars.

Unless their game really sucks and the only nice picture is the one in the box.

Jeff, you moron ! That was not the water release button !! That was the emergency fuel dump button !
And my point is that, no matter what they do, there will always be a risk of death involved.

Dumbsort works something like this:Straight from MS-style programming books.
It seems that this one is cheaper and better.
A quick google search shows it can be found for $179
Damn, these things are getting cheap. I am seriously considering buying one. Any advices ?
