Warranted, I feel, seeing as your response was both incorrect and stupid.

We have google now, you should try it

Huh.. Time flies when youre having bum.. fun.. fun bum.. fun...

Any kind of human response, perception or process can be reduced to a flowchart. The visual system is a good place to start, to see how information is turned into ever increasing levels of complexity in the visual cortex. It's essentially just a filing system - but its that system which creates the internal perception…

Its a delightful quote actually and it's spawned another great myriad of stories. I just always take things a bit too far.

But that makes it fairly easy =/ Come to think of it, he will have a lot of filler

The third challenge would be like the Extreme mode for the challenge - but thats the one I had in mind =p

Unless we get the signal 4 years later from Alpha Centauri, it would be breaking laws on causality..

I think when it comes to DVD I'm going to have to do a competitive read-off. See if I can get through it before the end of the 9 hour trilogy.

Hell, London has one.

Things like this have always confused me about interstellar navegation - is it possible to to plot a course with our current understanding of solar-centric and orbiting body centric burns and catapults, when so far from a gravitational source, with all manner of interfering particles outside of the solar system?

As a genuinely curious Briton, is there the feeling that its better to test in ever increasing detail as the insurance companies will shoulder the cost?

Use it for this and come the loss of oil, or its relative price inaccessability - you will have the international energy market cornered. It amazes me that Shell don't have a solar-thermal power plant in the pipeline. Shareholder…

It was also refreshing how the designer of SMS said yesterday that he withheld patenting the idea and getting profit from it for the same reasons.

Israel uses native build drones for things like this, and others don't have drones of similar specifications. The UK army has a much smaller hand thrown one but with not enough range to be used outside of front-line service. If the size and shape reported are correct this is the most likely candidate.

But the big question...

You know, the solar sails on Apophis might be one of the most normal ideas i've heard in a while.. either that, or just coat it in aluminium foil.

Having a small Sumomo getting through the dance moves to something would be much more entertaining than the Win7 green transfer bar.

Thats margin of error for an extrapolation - fair to say its a percentage written of 58

When people say that I get the point, but I think I go into it a bit too much. Are people expecting that the butterfly would deflect an incoming asteroid somehow? I get the butterfly flapping its wings causes weather systems, but through the vacuum of space?
