	Accredited to former Soviet [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavel_Alekseyevich_Cherenkov Pavel Alekseyevich Cherenkov] (1904-1990) physicist, Cherenkov radiation causes the "blue glow" of nuclear reactor to occur.

			:[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherenkov_radiation Cherenkov radiation] is given off when high-energy particles (photons - the particle for all radiation, inc light, or electrons - aka beta-particles) exceed the local speed of light, when they enter a medium such as water. The energy that's given off as they decelerate to local-C is what causes the blue glow. You can see this when Nuclear fuel rods are put into cooling tanks at the end of their life.

			:The sentence should really be changed to "A highly radioactive material randomly giving off gamma-ray bursts." Just being pedantic.

			:There's no implication that it's wireless; quite the contrary: "they swiftly installed LAN cables for Haruhi's desktop PC and the remaining four notebook PCs". It seems more likely to me they would put a switch or hub in the literature club room, and connect all the computers to that, then run a cable from it to the computer club room; that's how I'd do it.

Her eyes were fixed on the screen, which was no longer showing the game graphics, but a black background with a bunch of letters, numbers and symbols, which reminded me of those <b>BIOS interface screens</b> from the computers of the dinosaur age. What's more, the words and symbols were scrolling by at an incredible speed.</i>

Kyon's reference is not unlike the Russian defeats at the start of the Russian campaign of World War II due to German superiority in equipment and tactical doctrine or how the Abyssinian were decimated by the mechanized Italian forces, basically hinting to a gross inbalance that exists between the SOS Brigade and the Denkensha forces. Note that the actual location of Tanegashima is not close to Mikawa, as Arquebusiers had a nickname of 'Tanegashima gun' as that's where these firearms were mainly traded at.

Severely outnumbered and underequipped, the Japanese resorted to Kamakaze operations subsequently. Notable Japanese losses are the sinking of battleship [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_battleship_Musashi\|''Musashi''] at Sibuyan Sea, ''Fuso'' and ''Yamashiro'' at Surigao Strait and the total destruction of the Carrier fleet, madeup of four standard carriers and two 'Battleship Carriers'.
