The Playstation Pocket

The Playstation Pocket is kick ass! Lookit!

Zing!

Do you know what a Pulse Detonation Engine is? Look at this web site's archives. Anywhay, NASA has considered launching the next model of space shuttle from an airplane powered by pulse detonation engines…which would be a cool idea; launches would be more frequent due to shorter refuelling times and reduced enviromental considerations. It would also reduce the space shuttle Enterprise to something less than a footnote (quite possibly an endnote.)

I've always hoped that the year I reached grade twelve would be my last day in school, ever; but, unfortunately, 'tisnt. This has really screwed me up.

Everyone is sick to death with hackers and computer viruses, Microsoft seems vehement about it, and money talks, so, logically, this might work.
