Once Congress is limited to only making laws that are Constitutional, no corporation will WANT to give them money because, guess what?, that money will not do them anything.

You're right as I understand it a diver can stay at a depth of 15 feet indefinatly, 15 feet is a little less than 1 bar of pressure, with out decompression. So it would not cause the bends, to go to ambiant pressure.
One bar of pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch, which turns out to be 1 kilogram per square centimeter (do the math: 1 cubic centimeter of water weighs one gram. Then pile up a thousand of those to get a kilogram, and it measures 10 meters high - Aaaah, the beauty of the metric system!)
10 meters is about 30 feet, your diver 15 feet down would get 1.5 bar of pressure (don't forget about the whole atmosphere above the water surface!!!), which is well below the gradient for being bent...
No, divers breathe special mixes to AVOID the Bends.
NO. No gas mix will ever avoid the risk of being bent. For that matter, a case of bends has been recorded within a 4m deep swimming pool, and where I live, there is a 15 meter deep pool where diving is restricted in time to avoid being bent.
Bends occur when the depressurization rate is faster than what the bloodstream and tissues (biologically inert gases dissolve throughout the whole body, from the bloodstream, nerves, muscles, organs to even the bones) can restitute the dissolved gases which then forms bubbles who have an adverse pathological effect.
The reason why gas mix are used is to decrease the oxygen partial pressure (remember Dalton's law!), because oxygen becomes a violent neurotoxic at over 2 atmospheres (10 meter depth=1 extra atmosphere).
Roughly, air is 20% oxygen, so it would become toxic at 100 meters deep. But the problem is that well above that depth, nitrogen introduses narcosis (which feels mightly good, except that you stop thinking straight and might you do foolish things).
For this, custom gas mixes are used either to prevent narcosis (for deep dives - the record is, I believe, 600 meters with a mixture of about 4% oxygen and 96% hydrogen - yikes!!!) by replacing nitrogen, or to prevent the risk of bends in shallow dives (like 60% nitrox, that is 60% oxygen and 40% nitrogen, which would be toxic at 30 meters).
Bends occur if the decompression is greater than half the absolute pressure, hence the exponential times of decompression stops (table from the NOAA website).
And the greed in which the MPAA is going after DECSS is typically jewish, too.
Glad to see there's no reason to call you an antisemite. Look, if you're going to bitch about Bnai B'rith being oversensitive about antisemitism, you could at least hide your own antisemitism a little.
What's antisemititic about saying the truth that jews are greedy?
You still prove that by citicizing jews, you end up being branded as antisemite.
Not all of us jump on the 'bandwagon'. Some might, but not all. If you would, please, could you provide a quote somewhere of just one instance of a well-reasoned justified critique against a Jewish group, which itself was subsequently criticized, solely on antisemitic accusations.
Myself, having written in a big circulation paper that the jewish-controlled media molds american public opinion into supporting israel, got retributed by a whole editorial page calling me a nazi.
Or that candidate who complained that hearing the jews, one would think that they alone did suffer from genocide. That earned him a blame motion from the legislature he was candidate to.
They're not the only ones getting away with murder. What do you call the Palestinian launching of mortars and firing of rifles at Israelis?
I call that "self-defence". Let's not forget that the jews are the aggressors who came and STOLE Palestine from the palestinians.
The Palestinian police had a number of convicted Palestinian terrorists locked in jails. At the beginning of this recent intifada, dozens of the terrorists were freed from their jails.
There is DEFINITELY a difference between being antisemitic and opposing a Jewish group, and many Jews will agree.
If you oppose a Jewish group strictly because of the fact they're Jews, however, then that's antisemitism. If you disagree with their policies for a justifiable reason, then it's certainly not antisemitism.
The problem is that when the criticism is justified, they still jump on the persecution bandwagon, and since decent people are scared shitless at being branded a nazi, not much people dares to criticise jews. The jews know that, and they therefore think they can get away with murder (which they do in Palestine anyways).
The jews think that they own the planet and therefore push their own agenda without regard for other concerns.
It wouldn't be a problem if they were a tiny fringe marginal group in their corner, but since they have considerable means of persuasion at their disposal (namely the control of Hollywood and american television networks, which enables them to mold public opinion to their convenience -- a good argument for State-owned media which has to answer to government and thus is not blatantly biased like the US media - as long as there is private competition), they are dragging the whole western world into their assinine neurosis.
They are masters at victimization, brandishing the holocaust as a talisman to silence critic, since anybody who criticizes the jews is automatically branded an antisemite.
It would seem that only the jews suffered from genocide, but we seldom hear the jews whining about the armenians, Rwanda and all the other peoples that went through it.
I've seen suggestions online that as soon as they find those responsible for the attack planning and support, that they should be held until the WTC is rebuilt.... then dropped from the observation deck.
But not without having them bring up a few hundred cubic yards of concrete.
I won't go into a long diatribe at the offensiveness of this mindset or this behavior, but rather reference it in order to point out that, as a genre of religion which is bent on conversion, i.e. selling their viewpoint to others, Christian sects tend to be obsessed with appearance as much as substance
Odd. Last night, I saw Contact and I was very surprised at the almost hippyish appearance of Josh Palmer...
Ses parents, présents dans la salle, ont été écorchés dans le jugement, le juge déclarant qu'ils ne sont pas en mesure d'assurer un encadrement adéquat pour le jeune homme. Ils sont séparés et Mafiaboy vivait chez son père au moment de ses méfaits. Bien qu'ils le savaient recherché par les polices du Canada et des États-Unis, les parents n'ont pas dénoncé l'adolescent, ni sévi sérieusement contre lui, a souligné le juge Ouellet.
His parents, present in the courtroom, were [skinned alive] by the judgment, the judge declared that they are not able to give a suitable living environment for the young man. They are separated and Mafiaboy was at his father's when he did his mischief. Even though they knew he was wanted by canadian and american police, the parents did not turn in the teenager, nor punish him seriously, said judge Ouellet (pronounced "well-let").
What's the canadian law's take on monetary damages?
Hardly. Québec civil law makes it illegal to seize any assets from anyone who has less than $6000 worth of assets, as well as basic home furniture (beds, tables, chairs, cutlery, applicances - but not TV, though) and tools of the trades.
So, anybody thinking "monetary damages" is SOL.
Which is good, because it protects ordinary people from sharks.
I'm wondering if there is a way of handing the pup an old machine with and made to write a solution using assembly language.

We did not bring it upon ourselves simply because nothing we could have ever done would have warranted this kind of attack.

Dropping two (2) atomic bombs on Japan?
Dropping 8 (eight) times as much bombs on Viet-Nam (an agricultural nation) as was dropped on Germany (a heavily-industrialized nation)?
Propping up ruthless dictators who killed thousands of their opponents?
Supporting the stealing of Palestine for the benefit of people who never did live there, at the expense of the actual people who did live there?

Sure, as I understand it, their belief is that dying for their cause is a straight ticket to heaven, but that doesn't mean they don't fear death. Christians also believe that they will be sent to heaven at their death, but that doesn't erase the fear of death in all of us. And obviously whoever is behind this, fears death, because they haven't taken accountability for it. These people aren't fearless, they're cowards.
And Roosevelt was a coward by sending all those boys to their death in Okinara, Tarawa, Midway, etc. without getting hurt in the safety of the White House...

They have a gun (special bullet i believe) tht has a large bullet and low muzzle velocity. Will put down a human, wont go through steel.
It is actually a small plastic bag filled with lead shot. When it goes through the gun muzzle, the spirals give it a swift rotation, which flattens the bag into a disk which is too blunt to puncture the aircraft skin, whilst still being energetic enough to knock off whoever is hit by it.
What's good is that it doesn't kill, so you don't end up killing innocents as shooting in cramped quarters is kinda hard.
