    >A) There is historic evidence that a wandering priest called Jesus Christ did actually exist. So for the human person of Jesus Christ we can be pretty sure that he wandered the earth. We can't really say anything about his wondrous deeds, however. Yeah, wasn't he nailed to a tree for daring to suggest that maybe, just maybe, we'd all be better off just being nice to each other for a change, and that we can all just get along happily? ;o}

    Could you just explain to me how the gpl _restricts_ how you _use_ a product released under a gpl license? it's 'restrictions' only apply if you want to redistribute it, verbatim or modified.

    quote: *most granite is naturally radioactive. Which is why i used granite as an example :)

  12. Re:Carbon + Oxygen on Strange Bedfellows Fight Ethanol Subsidies · · Score: 0

    'The Great Global Warming Swindle' is a pile of half truths, knowing oversimplifications, and outright lies, from a commercial TV Network (Channel 4)that has form for broadcasting propaganda, from various industries, in a format designed to look like irrefutable fact. Follow the money. See how much cash Channel 4 gets from the fossil fuel industry. The results speak for themselves. The oil industry shills that are pushing it across the net are conveniently calling it a BBC production in a ridiculous attempt to give it more merit.

    even if the rock was dangerously radioactive from natural solar radiation (which i don't think it would be, depending on the makeup of the rock i cant see where it would suddenly become dangerously radioactive from, at least any more radioactive than, for example, granite found here on earth) it's not the rock itself that concerns me, its the contamination from the nuclear warhead, and the byproducts of the fission detonation that would worry the hell out of me. that there's some nasty stuff.

  14. Re:It's all Kevin's fault on Global Warming Endangered by Hot Air? · · Score: 1

    Yeah but he had to make that dog of a movie memorable for something at least

  15. Re:How would nuclear weapons work in outer space? on NASA Outlines Asteroid Deflection Program · · Score: 1

    Not sure i'd be overly happy about the level of irradiation of the fragments though. Anyone know how radiologically dangerous they'd be?

  16. Re:How would nuclear weapons work in outer space? on NASA Outlines Asteroid Deflection Program · · Score: 1

    The issue with that is that it assumes the asteroid is one solid, stable rock. It's just as likely fracture the asteroid because it's a fragile structure made up of many objects not a solid object

  17. Re:abseiling gear? on Caves on Mars? · · Score: 1

    no, the atmosphere is too thin for paragliding to work. you'd have a minimum air speed of something stupidly high

    . . .and here i was thinking it was Commodore's strategic mistake in marketing the amiga primarily to the home user market instead of going after the business market that cost them the farm.
