Correct, we are still learning about this field. However, you are erring in that you are treating a planet like it is a living entity rather than what it really is. The planet isn't having any trouble at all in maintaining itself due to our existence. What is having trouble maintaining itself is the complex balance or ecosystems which reside ON this planet. The fact that Earth has oceans and land and a favorable atmosphere does not in any way suggest that the planet itself is alive or predisposed toward making life possible. You are attempting to consider the entire planet to be an organism simply because it harbors an ecosystem on it, and while you believe that just because we do not have a solid model of how everything works in space, it does not open the door for any and all possibilities. What you hint at is outside the realm of scientific logic and really doesn't have a foot to stand on.
And a large amount of our models of space are currently hypotheses, not theory. In science, theory is about as good as fact.
And I would have to ask you how life would form when the rocky core is encased in a solid hydrogen shell. Not to mention once you have a gas giant close enough for its atmosphere to be stripped by its star, then you're pretty much a lost cause for developing life. Especially when the entire atmosphere has been stripped and all that is left is an airless world. This isn't like a gas giant being stripped of most of its atmosphere and leaving an Earthlike world behind.
Not to mention that cocoons were an evolved trait in insects to fulfill a need. There is no mechanism in astrophysics which acts as you believe. Gas giants form because they accreted gas and rocky material during the formation of that star system. This is not due to some cosmic evolution whose purpose is to create life on a planet.
Mars is also the way it is because it no longer has a magnetic field to protect its atmosphere from being stripped away by the sun. There is no way that we will ever be able to replenish the atmosphere, nor is there a way that the planet will be habitable for us without protection from the environment and solar radiation.
The version numbers in the background are the actual versions of the Windows NT kernel itself.
Windows 2000 was kernel 5.0.
Windows XP was kernel 5.1.
Windows 2003 was 5.2.(This was also Windows XP 64-bit Edition)
Windows Vista is 6.0.
Windows "7" is kernel 6.1. It was supposed to be a wild change from Vista for the better, but is very similar and not a real shift in kernel, so it's just 6.1.
eVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 512. It's a wonderfully cool card. Nearly silent if you manually lock the fan at 55% speed. At that speed it idles around 45 degrees with a well vented system. I've honestly never seen it go above 55 degrees even in Crysis. The fan is just that good in it. The air coming out of it does get a fair bit warm when running the most modern games, but I've found that your CPU will be putting out more heat than this thing unless a game is made to tax the VPU THAT much more than the CPU.
I definitely suggest it as a mid-high range card. Plays Crysis at 128x1024 with all settings on high between 25-35 fps. Also, this card works beautifully with an Antec 900 case.
They do damages at $750/song because that is the bare minimum of damages per item that can be enforced in court when dealing with copyright infrigement. They could have gone much higher.
They're still evil baby eaters, but just saying that the damages are the absolute least they can take in court.
Mars lacks a molten core. Mars therefore lacks a magnetosphere to filter solar radiation to the poles like earth does. Aside from the problem of the atmosphere thinning back out if we did manage to thicken it, humans could never live unassisted due to the higher radiation.
The 1936 Olympics were 71 years ago, 60 when Contact came out.
Television and radio signals are both part of the EM spectrum, all of which travel at C with varying levels of refraction depending on the medium it passes through.
That gives us a range of 71 light years for a civilization to have received the signal at all, and 35.5 light years if we would expect to hear a response from a civilization tomorrow.
Historically, totalitarianism of one form or another has been by far the preferred form of government, as evidenced by the fact that the vast majority of the people who have ever lived have lived under it. The experiment with freedom in the world is tiny in comparison.
Preferred by the people, or by the government in power?
Cause God forbid we place some standards on our industries' environmental impact.
If you don't place an incentive for big energy to use less dirty fuel and more clean alternatives, they likely won't move an inch. Course, not that any of that matters, it's all a damn liberal plot to destroy the country. Pass it in 50 states and they'll just build the plants in Mexico and ruin the economy more, eh?
I'm curious as to what you think would change industry emissions.
Point is that they would no longer be able to read less of the paper, recognize fewer of their grandchildren, and be able to learn to cook and clean after themselves again, as well as start to regain lost memories with relatives and not fear losing them again.
That is the point.
The gap was real, an under construction bridge in Jacksonville, FL, if I recall. They filmed the jump scene on a solid road, no bridge.
The bus jumped the large ramp, went about 30-40 feet for the flying shot, and crashed down onto the road and utterly destroyed its suspension. The axles broke completely off on impact.
It's a program like DriveShield. Basically works like reimaging it each time you reboot, but only altered files are overwritten I imagine. You never noticed a speed difference while rebooting.
Either that or it played with the file system and only made things seem like you edited them, while just putting the file in a temp space. Never did try filling the college hard drives. Should have torrented more..
You've been selected to attend the premier explosives training event in the US! You'll learn just how explosives work, what makes the best bang, what makes the best flash, and so much more!*
*Note: Attendees may(read:will) be entered into the US DoD terrorist watch list. Side effects may include random wiretaps, strange helicopters nearby, and inability to board airlines. Have fun!
I believe the idea is that instead of a massive A/C system freezing a room, the cooling coils normally in the A/C unit are run directly into the servers in a way that it more efficiently absorbs the heat inside. I imagine it's much smaller than a normal A/C unit is. Cooling is limited to the server boxes themselves rather than the entire room and having that air in the room do the cooling through the fans in the server boxes.
5.5GB for 120 minutes of HD video? Something seems wrong with that codec man. I have h264 videos that top at 260MB for 24 minutes of 1280x720 video with an entire 26 episode season fitting on a DVD and a half.
Nah, it'll most likely be stamped out around the same time that fear-mongering disappears as well. Seems the two go hand-in-hand more often than not. Sad to say I doubt it'll happen in our lifetimes. I'd wager it'll come to a point in the world where some event catches the eye of the world and would lead to the eventual laws to grant rights to all and make it near international felony to break. Maybe I'm just an optimist too, but our children will find that out for us.
My use of patience might not have been the best word to fit. I moreso meant that a lot of people don't have the kind of patience or willpower to truly admit to themselves that everyone is the same as everyone else and that any person or culture deserves just as much respect as another. Moreso an inner patience with one's self.
Just as a little clarification, I made no sweeping generalization about "those people" in developing countries. I referred to everyone in developed and developing countries, meaning the modern world itself. I will make no differences between the people of the US and the people of an Arab or developing African nation.
Also, I have no problem being considered a bigot towards bigots. I am accepting of all opinions and cultures that aren't my own. I am merely completely intolerant when it comes to racism and bigotry.
I don't mind differing views at all. I welcome them for discussion. However, I am not closeminded. It's closeminded to believe that most of the humans on this world don't have some type of prejudice, it's simply human nature. Fighting and breaking that nature is what makes you a more civilized person. Don't take this as saying I'm better than someone else, but honestly, the argument that hating bigotry is closeminded is simply absurd.
Call be a bigot, but tolerance towards racism shouldn't be acceptable. Choosing to be racist isn't the same as choosing to be Christian or Muslim, or being gay or straight. Racism is a choice to hate, and I'll never take part in tolerating that.

Except that our star is a main sequence star.

While he showed no demonstrations of being hit with that suit, if it's like his bear suit, it'll hold up well.
Hey hey, let's not get Star Trek XI into the argument.
Indeed, but XI's going to take place in that few split seconds before he kicks it. Whole life flashing before your eyes kinda thing.
My god it's brilliant. That gives us a new infinite supply of movies based solely around Kirk's memories just before death!
