Actually judging by the amount of sulfur and potassium in the crust, it was not involved in a giant collision. leading theory is that during formation the solar wind drove away the lighter materials with another theory that it was so heated that it had a rock vapor atmosphere which the solar wind drove away.
My apologies, seems that Mercury has the largest orbital eccentricity of the planets and therefore 17 times higher tides then the Earth. Still sounds like the magnetic field is caused by the extra large core which is probably still molten from formation.
http://www.politicalcompass.or.... It wont be long before Trudeau's handlers rein him in. The Liberals will get more pipelines built then the Conservatives ever did, mostly by not being confrontational. Note also that the Liberals voted right along with the Conservatives for Bill C51 and have only promised minor tweaks to it.
I've had enough bullets fly by my head that I actually think that any idiot should not be allowed to own a gun though I disagree with the CPC idea of gun control where someone can go to jail for a minimum of 3 years by accidentally leaving their gun with their wife. I also don't like the idea of having a surplus exactly equal to what was earmarked for the veterans and then not spent, but I guess the Conservatives consider the veterans to be welfare queens with their stories of post traumatic stress syndrome. Personally liberties such as being able to not be spied on by the government and being able to use the internet without the government knowing everything I do online and not having to shave because the government decided I should show my face to be more important then whether people are allowed to organize for their collective good.
Not going to argue with you, but still consider the Liberals better then the Conservatives. Even actually considered voting for them this time around and would have if there was only 2 choices on the ballot. I still ended up voting for the independent as I'd actually talked to him and liked what I heard.
Was it a science based decision to force his cabinet to be 50% male and 50% female?
The scientific hypothesis is that splitting his cabinet along gender lines will help him get voted in again in 4 years. Politicians often have getting voted in again as their prime motivation.
Make up your mind. Just up the page you were saying that normal empathic human beings shouldn't get the vote and only the psychopaths should, and now your bitching about the psychopaths such as Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler etc who rose above the collective to manipulate the collective. Fascism is of course the ultimate psycho political system and socialisms biggest flaw is that some psycho will arise and take advantage of the collective, often under the name of the collective, to do very non-collective things such as kill millions of people. Really what the OP was arguing is that we should preeminently remove the Stalins and Hitlers, yet being a psychopath is a good trait in some professions such as brain surgeons.
Fun fact, the left (NDP) lost this election. Another fun fact, the left were the only party promising to get rid of the government spying that the right introduced (Bill C51). Another fun fact, left vs right is a different axis then authoritarian vs libertarian.
The same Conservatives who passed Bill 51 to spy on all citizens and directly gather the information? Yes they really must love their privacy to vote in the most anti-privacy government in Canadian history.
The NDP (our Socialist Party) did not win this election, which is a shame as they're the most Libertarian Canadian political party. The Liberals are the Centrist Party. Fun fact, they balanced the budget 8 times in a row before the Conservatives ran up the biggest deficit in Canadian history and finally managed to balance the budget for the election. The Liberals were also the only party this election who ran on a platform of deficit spending to fix infrastructure, much like a household will borrow money if needed to fix the roof.
With a mean surface temperature of 735 K (462 C; 863 F), Venus is by far the hottest planet in the Solar System, even though Mercury is closer to the Sun.
Temperature of Mercury from the wiki,
Surface temp. min mean max 0N, 0W [10] 100 K 340 K 700 K 85N, 0W[10] 80 K 200 K 380 K
I see someone marked me overrated for pointing this out.
Another advantage of our system, Federal, Provincial and Municipal elections are kept separate. In the States, elections are overwhelming, with offices from President down to dogcatcher on the ballet therefore almost guaranteeing that the average person won't be able to make informed choices for all offices and encouraging the same party apparatuses on all levels of government with people just ticking D or R for everything. In Canada, often the Provincial parties are quite distinct from the Federal parties, which also allows new parties to start out at the Provincial level, and at least around here, the municipal elections don't really even have parties, at least in the traditional big party sense.
I doubt that the heat from the Sun makes a difference, it's still cooler then Venus. The huge metal core, perhaps. There's also the question of how much radioactives are in the various planets cores.
Submission claims that for the first 1/2 billion years there were 2 planets with water and air. What about Venus? Venus was also possibly inhabitable for the first part of its life, perhaps billions of years, until the Sun got warm enough to boil the Venusian oceans and created a runaway greenhouse affect. Same thing is predicted for the Earth as the Sun continues to heat up (due to having a higher percentage of helium with time and therefore higher density) perhaps in as soon as 500 million years.
Your point? The polling system scales very well and would work even better in a country such as the States with 10x the population density as a polling place is more likely to be close by.
The WorkPlace Shell (WPS) is still more advanced then all modern GUIs, at least at core. No fancy 3D support or fancy rounded corners on windows but the fact that eg Cairo can be integrated as a subclass to give transparency on the desktop shows the power of the object format. http://trac.netlabs.org/wps-wi... Gnome started out trying to copy the WPS and MS first copied the 1.x interface in Win [NT] 3.x and then tried to copy the WPS in Win 4+.

The kernel is hybrid 16/32 bit so there won't be a 64bit port. And I think it was the only x86 to fully use protected mode though 1.x could drop to real mode to run a DOS session, usually called the penalty box as you couldn't just ALT-TAB out of it. The 286 just wasn't designed well enough. There are still a lot of business applications running on OS/2 including various hardware controllers that have to run on real hardware and that's the main market.
The AC has it right. First there was a Russian company (forget the name) contracted to write a virtual machine to run OS/2. Eventually that became Parallels for OSX. Then Innotek partnered with Connectivx to add OS/2 support to Virtual PC and port Virtual PC to OS/2. No sooner then they did this, that MS bought Connectivx and killed the OS/2 port. Then Innotek wrote VirtualBox, based partially on QEMU and released it as GPL (probably had to as it used GPL source) with propriety additions for things like USB support. Sun bought Innotek and Oracle bought Sun. The hard part of virtualizing OS/2 was that the DOS drivers ran in ring 2, which allowed DOS device drivers to work under OS/2. OS/2 even allows any version of DOS to run in a VDM.
OS/2 uses GCC mostly now, current version is 4.9.2 along with a pretty good libc, sort of between mingw and cygwin in capabilities. Package manager uses RPMs though Linux (and some Windows using Odin, sort of like WINE) binaries need to be recompiled. It'll never be 64 bit (unless IBM open sources OS/2 for PPC) and can't handle memory above 3.5 GBs except as a RAM disk.
VirtualBox was actually written to run OS/2 and ended up being the killer OS/2 app that everyone had to have, just backwards as it ran OS/2 rather then ran under OS/2. And of course, as OS/2 used parts of the x86 system that other OSes didn't, any virtual machine that can run OS/2 can run any x86 OS

I don't and won't be surprised if Trudeau turns out to be Harper lite.

Well up to 2011, they branded themselves as socialist. Of course there are many types of socialist.
True, but the other 2 main parties are mega-parsecs away from libertarian.
Fun fact, the left (NDP) lost this election. Another fun fact, the left were the only party promising to get rid of the government spying that the right introduced (Bill C51).

Venus also has a surface temperature that will melt lead. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Temperature of Mercury from the wiki,
I see someone marked me overrated for pointing this out.
Mercury is in resonance with the Sun (3:2) so tidal forces should be minor. The orbit is also fairly circular.

Same thing is predicted for the Earth as the Sun continues to heat up (due to having a higher percentage of helium with time and therefore higher density) perhaps in as soon as 500 million years.
And yet Mercury has quite a magnetic field, especially for its size and Venus has none even though only 10% smaller then the Earth.
