No. Human flesh is not terribly conductive and thus would not experience anywhere near the induced field that a conductor like steel would. The only exceptions would be if you had metal in you like a pacemaker.
The capacitors can probably take several million discharges before there's any "wear" on them however the coils must withstand some degree of stress repeatedly which is a concern over the long term due to metal fatigue.
Sounds convenient... Execute Japanese torturers and then turn around and say "oops our bad we shouldn't have done that" and so we shouldn't be expected to hold our own people to that degree of accountability... No... this is another case of whoever wins the war makes the rules.
Saddam Hussein was Iraq's dictator not president. A presidency requires there be some degree of democracy which Iraq was sorely lacking. Now in so far as the Canadian assisting Saddam with his weapon, that could be considered treason against Canada if Canada felt that Iraq was a significant threat.
Indeed. Although you could use the cannon to bring cargo + rocket engine to 13,000+ mph and use the engine to bring the cargo to the required velocity. This is of course assuming that you could solve the problem of high atmospheric and launch stresses and design a light, simple and robust engine for the final stage of the projectile's flight.
Seeing as ice cream is an emulsion if it gets warm enough it could fractionate into a much less tasty brew. However, if you keep ice cream very, very cold, it shouldn't be terribly affected by the g-forces if packaged properly. The real problem is what to do with real ice cream in an environment like the ISS where real ice cream can cause problems by virtue of the fact that loose fluids and crumbs need to be kept at a minimum for various reasons.
If you try to launch an object from the surface of the Earth using a "cannon" the projectile won't be doing anything other than decelerating throughout its flight and this means bringing the projectile to very high velocities where atmospheric heating and stresses become major problems. Then again, launch its self may be a problem as the Hydrogen propelling the projectile is detonating at an extremely high temperature and pressure. Small nitpick as well from TFA:
but those guys at the ISS can use it to order pizza and real ice cream.
A big reason space food is what it is instead of the Earthling food we're all accustomed to has to do with keeping the station reasonably clean and experiments doubly so. Crumbs and fluid loose in the station can cause problems.
is because we know about everything useful there is to know about zero g vacuum a short distance above Earths surface.
I disagree. The long term effects of weightlessness on the human body require more study. Especially in terms of ways to mitigate muscular and skeletal degeneration. It's hard to do that kind of work without sending people up there for significant amounts of time.
Most of the funding that allows the ISS to continue comes from the US. What concerns me is whether or not the other space agencies have the funding to pick up where NASA left off and continue the research there. In any case, the station is far too yound to just be abandoned and it would be a shame if that were to come to pass because of the US's decision to withdraw support from the station in 2015.
UK rulings to my knowledge, have no real authority outside of their jurisdiction (other countries) so the only way this could have any legal implications would be if TPB was based in the same jurisdiction as Oink. It could also be that the courts took into account his intentions as well and made a distinction between TPB and say Google or Oink.
The issue that remains is if a company can be held responsible for the mental anguish that it indirectly caused.
In this legal climate, I'm sure at some point someone ill try to make them responsible for agitating someone's delusional phobias. Clearly they shouldn't be held responsible for "mental anguish" over "radiation" from a tower that WASN'T EVEN SWITCHED ON.
If their symptoms are real, an actual chemical being their cause makes so much more sense that it just boggles me that this isn't the first thing people choose to blame. But no, their insistence on it being due to EM actually gets in the way of the more straightforward investigation.
I believe that the simple explanation for this is that the idea of chemicals around the tower didn't occur to them as being the cause; it was so much more obvioys for them to latch on to the idea of microwave "radiation" being the cause. After all, the first thing people generally think about in terms of these towers is the microwave transmission not little things like pesticides used to clear the land near the transmitter.
Olivier added that anyone who thinks that their legal case is based only on health issues is sorely mistaken, adding that their case is not built on health concerns alone, but rather various other aspects related to the mast, including the public participation and environmental approval processes which they are confident are flawed.
They really really don't want this tower anywhere near them and now that the electrosensitivity excuse didn't work they're trying other approaches.
First, the domestic spying was still for national defense, trying to stop terrorism.
One problem: it was unconstitutional. The feds did not have the constituional authority to do what they did regardless of the excuses they used for doing so anyway.
Hell outspent ANY year from ANY president in the history of this country... and your still bitching about Bush, who hasn't been president in a year.
Yes I'm still bitching about Bush just as I am FDR, lBJ and others who have also spent massive amounts of tax money. Obama's failure to do any better does not reduce the degree to which Bush failed. A concept that seems to be completely lost on the two major parties.
So where have I been the past 8 years? Right here. But what's really telling is that you are trying to hard to ignore the past year under Obama that you forgot that Bush was elected NINE years ago,
Obama did frak up a lot in his first year this is not in dispute. What was in dispute was the idea that the right is somehow fundamentally different than the left is in terms of screwing the public. Both spend trillions we don't have, both are demonstrably corrupt to a comparable degree. The republicans can't bring themselves to bring down spending so now outspending the previous democrat by "only 33%" is an achievement.
Not once have you submitted any evidence supportive of your claim that Bush didn't overstep his constitutional boundaries. The reason being that it simply isn't true. Bush pissed on the constitution. Obama wiped with it. Argument over.
but never really abused it except to fight terror and the like.
Except for the domestic spying, bailing out banks, starting two failfrak wars and presiding over an administration that outspent the liberal Clinton administration Bish never exceeded his powers... Right... What planet have you been on these last eight years by chance because it sure as hell isn't Earth.
Oh please. The "right" is every bit as interested in manipulating others' lives as the "left" is. The dangerous bit is that the right pretends to be something completely different.
HTLV-1 causes leukemia in 3% of infections however, Sticker's sarcoma is a case of the cancer its self spreading from animal to animal not a foreign pathogen spreading from animal to animal and indirectly causing cancer like HPV and HTLV-1 do. Cancer cells themselves are pathogens to a degree, it is just that normally most cancers are the result of mutations in various body cells instead of an infection of any sort.
Your definition of "disease" seems to be restricted to biological dysfunction that is caused by a foreign vector such as a virus, bacterium or otherwise communicable pathogen so you may be surprised to learn that although cancer isn't normally a communicable disease, there is a type of cancer called Sticker's sarcoma in canines that is communicable. Lab rats are often injected with other individual's cancer cells which artificially induces cancer in the animal for research purposes. Cancers in their various forms are probably the best type of terminal illness for the mummification process owing to the fact that the deceased probably isn't as much a biohazard as say AIDS or TB might be.
That is like saying that solar power isn't a renewable resource because eventually the Sun will die in 5+ billion years. It may be technically true but not meaningfully so.
Braille? It seems like the Kindle could support the blind with a few modifications instead of going down the route of "if we can't use it then no one can."

Luckily for us, humans aren't terribly good conductors and thus would be essentially unharmed by an EMP.
Iraq was about as much a democracy as Iran is. In other words, a sham.
I could say that I was president of Argentina but that doesn't make me one any more than it did Saddam.
Sounds convenient... Execute Japanese torturers and then turn around and say "oops our bad we shouldn't have done that" and so we shouldn't be expected to hold our own people to that degree of accountability... No... this is another case of whoever wins the war makes the rules.

design the cannon like a thermos bottle as sounds require a medium to propagate which is why in space no one can hear you scream.

Because right now it is the msot popular flavor of Linux with Fedora not far behind.
Use another OS if it bothers you that much.
In what ways?
