Existing recycling technology needs clean, clear plastic to make new water bottles...
Aside from the obvious trust factor of being able to see what you're drinking, why are bottlers forced to use clear plastic? Seems like an easy solve to expand supply of recycled material.
So this is just a snippet the NY Times has shared. Where's the rest?? While the prospect of not being alone is quite horrifying, we shouldn't hide from it. Does a truth like this represent an unraveling of the fabric of our society? So many possibilities with which to contend!
Agree 100% on this reply; I disagree 100% with the title of this post.
I'm a "Moviegoer". Rotten Tomatoes is usually the first place I go when I'm thinking about seeing any movie and the second place I go after looking up where to stream a movie via Justwatch. I definitely care _and_ value what Rotten Tomatoes says. I don't rely on it 100% when deciding whether or not to view a particular movie. However, it's one of those things that's weighted heavily in my own personal moviegoing algorithm. Vast majority of the time I agree with what Rotten Tomatoes has told me. I don't get the hate on it.
I'm not sure how reliable the "NATS" site is (http://www.nats.aero/environment/aircraft-noise/) but according to that page, aircraft at cruise altitude appear to come in around 40 dBA. This NASA target is 60-65 dBA... more than 50% higher than the people-movers of today. As someone who lives under the ingress/egress route of a local airport, this seems like an egregious increase in ambient noise. Huge fan of halving flight time but not at the expensive of my auditory sanity!
This article would be great if they actually included data from the study (which is why I clicked on the link). While interesting, the content was totally shallow and represents a missed opportunity. Boo.
In all seriousness, is this blustering by Putin (if we are correct in assuming that Putin=Russia in totality now, which seems to be the case) something we should be seriously concerned about? The Soviet propaganda machine was a force to be reckoned with during the Cold War (make no mistake, so was ours in the US). Is this just a resurrection of that PR engine or should we actually be concerned of a real threat of nuclear armageddon?? Won or lost, the Cold War isn't something for which anyone should be nostalgic.
Could this have been the X-37 (OTV 4 / USA 261)? No idea if their orbits intersect at all but I guess a rendezvous would have been discernible well ahead of time (and huge news).
What the? Can someone please explain to me how colleges have become havens for the very net nanny's we were all sky-is-falling about back in '90s? Don't F with free speech. Period.
College is about expanding your mind (and your alcohol tolerance, if you're into that sorta thing); not growing more closed minded and intolerant. Holy crap, I fear for our future and for these nimrods coming into the workforce. As if the current brand of entitled millenials weren't bad enough. It's going to take kids of us Gen-Xers to clean up this mess (do they even have a generation name yet? let's skip it.).
Why do all the cloud forms follow such a similar drift pattern? Is it the movement of the stars themselves within their local group? Is there something beyond the image forcing the wind direction (other massive stars and/or a supernova are mentioned in the Wikipedia article about the Pillars). Is there a count of how many stars are being formed here? The IR image suggests quite a few.
Is anyone else horrified by my "theory" that the movie Idiocracy is actually a future historical documentary produced by Ken Burn's great-grandchild?! Good grief.
Dear China, Thank you. I love you. You're the best! - Fan of space PS - Please launch a probe to Mars ASAP. Be sure to provide the highest quality live feed of launch and resulting Martian arrival directly to MSNBC and Fox News.
What is being overlooked here, imo, is the factor that drove the Apollo program to such fantastic feats on its relatively short timescale. That type of commitment and effort is _never_ going to be undertaken without the threat of another country topping the US. Barring the type of wake-up-call moment like Sputnik or Gagarin, the necessary desire to get us to the aspirational next level will continue on this iterative path of fits and starts.
The key factor that allowed for Mercury -> Gemini -> Apollo was the race to the moon. Right now we have these wishy-washy blurred objectives like wouldn't it be great to visit an asteroid or maybe we'll be walking on Mars in 20 years. F that. We really need a challenger. China. Like the title says, they need to get to Mars. Will them putting something real into orbit do the trick? Is that even attainable given their current launch capabilities (I think so).
Until something like that happens, we're doomed to live in this bureaucratic netherworld of pork. The public (I'm guilty too) is too apathetic to realize the country could really use something inspiring like this. Otherwise all the wonderful brainpower out there will continue to funnel into the world of spooky finance transactions... who can blame them!!
I knew it wasn't just the black heli's trying to block out my Boneyard! Something was definitely up w/SiriusXM reception around 6PM EST today... unless it was something else that has nothing to do with the flare. IANAAstrophysicist.
For those of you looking to fill your meme quotient for the day...
Yo dawg, we heard you like Google Wave, so we got a real person to wave at you while you wave at your friends from your wave.
This is a blatant advertisement. Who's responsible for letting junk like this through? Has your account been hacked, CmdrTaco (or should we now call you CmdrSPAM)? It's bad enough stories are often duplicates and days/weeks old. This is just sh*tty spam.
Huge fan of Neil deGrasse Tyson as well - check out his new show Nova Science Now. It's a little parochial, but I believe it's intended for a younger audience - it definitely has a good fun factor with solid science qualities. Also love seeing him on Colbert. Total riot!
I would be surprised if it was down for more than 24 hours following that though.
That's the thing... so they take down the Internets within 30 mins. Does it really matter _that_ much if it's just back up again in a day or so (and after that, now the folks trying to figure out who owns all the bots have much more data to figure out the responsible parties)? Doesn't seem like an event of this nature would be more than a bump in the road or yet another reason to sell some "I survived the Internet B0tst0rmz of 2009" t-shirts. Speaking of that:
1) Gather monster-storm of zombie PCs
2) Take down Internets
3) Sell "I survived the Internet B0tst0rmz of 2009" t-shirts
4) Profit
I always recall reading good things about Griffin when he was first nominated for NASA chief, replacing the much-reviled penny pincher, Okeefe. Was this not the case? Am I missing something? Why all the late armchair criticism for the guy and the cries of being a Bush lackey?? Looking at Griffin's background listed in Wikipedia... seems like he's got a pretty solid background in science (and a little business flavor thrown in).
What gives? I completely agree that any sort of chicanery or obfuscation regarding the Orion program originating from his office should be met with the harshest punishment. Barring conclusive evidence of that... why make the assumption based upon circumstantial evidence?
Oh, wait... I forgot. This is \.
Does anyone else but me get bummed out reading about their separate spacefaring adventures? Wouldn't it be great to have them contribute to the "International" space station as well?!?! Certainly would put a nice infusion of resources into the thing.

Can't someone give me back my iGoogle? Please?

NEWS FLASH!!! This just in... Mormon seeks to ban porn. World rolls eyes. Film at eleven. (By "Film" I mean a porno. Support your local amateurs!!)

Stunning imagery. Keep 'em coming, Team Hubble!!!

Pass the Brawndo. I'm low on electrolytes!
Planets _can_ be hot, you know - just look at Jupiter. Oh, wait... you were talking about... ohhhhh. Right.
Can someone point me to a list of companies/organizations that are making these demands of perspective employees? This is madness!
Yes, social is addicting. Should it still be vilified? Last time I checked, you can't die from it (fringe serial killers aside)!!
