Taking Amy to art galleries, apparently.

If you want an in-universe explanation, I suppose some hand waving could link it to how the Doctor was able to regrow his hand in The Christmas Invasion. I suppose the writers could chalk it up to her being within 48 hours of her (re)generation cycle, so it was just superhealing rather then regeneration. Better explanation, though, is it's a TV show. The writers can make whatever they want happen, and it probably wasn't worth casting an extra actress for a 30 second scene.

I suppose the announcement comes to late for hands-on at PAX East this weekend, unless Nintendo's adopted the Apple-like strategy of not announcing products until they're in stock at the stores.

Fitting, given that Vermont Yankee is just outside of the Springfield where The Simpsons Movie premiered.

Weight. If you use nuclear power source, you've got to bring your fuel with you, where as with solar, the fuel is already packed away safely in the sun; you just need to bring a collector. Mars, unlike the outer planets, is still close enough to the sun that you get a reasonable amount of power from solar cells, if you have enough square footage, so solar wins the power/weight ratio contest. Besides, these things weren't built to survive the winter at all; the design requirements only called for three months.

Yes sir, Captain Sir, sir.

You can store WiiWare and Virtual Console games on any SD card you put in the slot. They were digitally signed, however, when you downloaded them from Nintendo at the time of purchase, tying them to your machine, so you can't SneakerNet your friend a copy of Ocarina of Time.

The BSG movie was created by man. It was camed. It was torrented. There are many copies...

Hey, it's a living.

Well, in the Apollo days, urine was just dumped overboard. The service module's fuel cells made more then enough water as a byproduct of electrical production. Pretty much the same setup for the shuttle; in fact, the shuttle will typically offload extra water onto the station before departing. The station uses solar panels for electricity. Good news: no need to haul up liquid hydrogen and oxygen to supply electrical power. Bad news: no more free water source, especially once we discontinue the shuttle. Orion, Soyuz, Progress, ATV, and even SpaceX's Dragon all use solar power. This means we now need reclaim as much water from urine, rather then just dumping it, hence the toilet all of the sudden becomes a much more complex piece of equipment.

The Orion escape system is similar to the Apollo setup; that is, a rocket mounted above the crew capsule is, in the event of an emergency, supposed to yank the capsule off with enough acceleration to get clear of any explosion. Of course, there's an upper limit of how much force you can apply without killing the crew, and on a normal launch, the escape system is just dead weight, despite the fact that it's more powerful then the Atlas rocket that put Mercury capsules into orbit, so there are constraints. Obligatory Wikipedia link.

I thought it was swallowed up by the Sycorax on Christmas two years ago.

(Yes, I know that The Christmas Invasion aired three years ago, but there was that one year time loss early in the first season of Doctor Who, between Rose and Aliens of London that hasn't really been accounted for since. Should actually put Torchwood ahead a year, too.)
