Android applications can't be made to run on a standard JVM without recompiling the code directly. the Dalvik VM has a very different instruction set and format than the JVM and java bytecode. Java bytecode is compiled down to DVM code. You could, however, probably get the DVM running on x86/windows and still achieve…

This is great... except I'll have to get a new phone in place of my current HTC Evo 4g... Oh well, I'll probably have some source of income by the middle of next year.

Mercury!

My thumb can reach across the screen of my Evo 4g just fine.

I don't think it will take quite as much fuel as you are predicting to land it. Let me go math this one out and come back with some numbers.

In terms of complexity, the Saturn V and Saturn IB were probably just (if not more) complex than the space shuttle

It looks like ABP is done by the same guys that wrote it on firefox, and the other (better) one was written by an independent developer to cash in on the firefox converts that would be looking for 'adblock' and he got his out before the ABP people.

Why would it be dangerous/impractical? It's basically the same thing as throwing a rod from space, it just happens to have some force applied working against gravity.

There are two different AdBlock plugins on chrome. It looks like you had AdBlock (no plus) on 32-bit and mistakenly installed AdBlock Plus after upgrading to 64 bit. [chrome.google.com]

You could also get a backblaze pod.

This would only work on brand freakin new machines with built in UEFI compliant firmware that don't have their own boot screens. UEFI firmware does the exact same thing as BIOS, it just does it in a more modern (not file system agnostic, low-level code in C instead of ASM) way. It still has to take care of the basic…

Germany, maybe?

Also, that resembles a Saturn IB, not a Saturn V. The Saturn V was about twice the size of the space shuttle and this. The Saturn IB was what the first 7 Apollo missions and several skylab missions were carried out with.

They even used a newer version of the same engines fro the second stage!

Why does it look like they strapped a Saturn IB to some shuttle rocket boosters?

I was hoping that it was designed to brew coffee in zero gravity.

Our local fire department, the Holiday Shores Volunteer Fire Department, was able to obtain a 12' long beam and has it on display in a memorial garden. [www.theintelligencer.com]

I was living in Houston last year around this time with my family. Yesterday night, I went to check Facebook and found that the school I was attending in Texas was cancelled today because of wildfires. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole neighborhood that we were staying in burnt or is going to burn down, there were…

What are you talking about? The man has a degree in mechanical engineering (which pretty much covers every other category of engineering) and developed a device still used on Boeing 747s. He's like Michio Kaku, who built an atom smasher during High School and now helps bring the sciences down to the less educated…
