is because of the barbeque lobby. Their line of reasoning is that if it's dark when people come home, they won't grill their food outside, but if it's light out they will.
Peter singer (slightly contraversial australian philosopher) argues the capacity for suffering is a pretty good determinant for judging the right to moral consideration, and who'd deny a monkeys capacity to suffer. Let's say somebody gets very localized brain damage, and the pain center of their brain is now non-functional.
So, what you're saying is that EE "Doc" Smith also isn't a real science fiction writer either. Or Alan Dean Foster. Asimov, Verne, and Wells are probably out too. Nice definition
Are you by any chance confusing "Hard" Science Fiction with the genre as a whole?
Ok, as everyone here should know, energy from food in the USA is measured in Calories (big C), which are the same as 1,000 calories (little c).
Now, according to wikipedia,
* The small calorie or gram calorie approximates the energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 C. This is about 4.184 Joules, and exactly 0.001 large calories. * The large Calorie or kilogram calorie approximates the energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 C. This is about 4.184 kJ, and exactly 1000 small calories.
So, human body temperature is roughly 37.0 degrees celcius. 1 kg of water is 1 liter. Now, according again to wikipedia,
Most freezers operate around -18 C (0 F)
Now, the temperature of the water can't be lowered below 0 degrees without it freezing. This does not mean, however, that you can't drink water with crushed ice in. I am going to go out on a limb and say that you can approximate the amount of calories to raise one liter of ice water to body temperature with 50 (it isn't going to be as cold as in the freezer, but you have to melt the ice as well, which should counteract this). Now, the buzzword people say you should drink 8 cups of water a day. That's a gallon, or roughly 2 liters. So drinking the reccomended amound of ice water each day should make you burn 100 calories.
So the real problem we need to solve in this "obesity epidemic" is getting better freezers.
Not only that, but the taste of Soda made with Sugar is vastly inferior to that of diet soda.
Normal soda's like drinking maple syrup. And your teeth squeak after drinking it. Blech.
It's not like the voting at the conference was all aboveboard. They waited until the very end of the conference, after many of the astronomers had left.

Isn't the entire point of traffic fines to bring in money from elsewhere?
Tell that to Daisuke Amaya.

Do they still have rights?
They already did.
How often do I get to taunt someone with a lower UID?
I see you're new to slashdot.

but apparently my dvd player isn't up to it. It started overheating.
Better get yourself tested for some of the more obscure ones, like the Duffy antigen.
Hey, the Egyptians had water (and water power) too.
I think in one battle they were having trouble preventing the orc army from just running away...
And remember, knowledge is power.
Personally, I like to get them from the FBI...

So then their heads would look like Data's, eh?
You had the Second Breakfast? We only had Bilbo's Punchcard Breakfast.
Why don't they just change the system clock?

I'd advise you to stay away from the Granola bar. On the whole, they're just as bad as candy.
I think by "not begin at the beginning" he meant "begin at the beginning"
How about NASCAR? Isn't that paying just to watch ads with wheels drive in circles?
