I believe the moon mission had a 5 minute (about) delay. The difference was this delay was because of the ol' laws of physics.
Nope. Just about 1 1/4 secs. The most part of the 10-12 sec delay had to do with the doppler shift and color conversion process. AW&ST, p18-20, 26 May 1969. PDF I suppose, technically, that is the laws of physics governing that, though.
Instead, just in the nick of time, our tax dollars jump in to save the day
Nope. Our children and grandchildren's tax dollars. The cost is being lumped onto the National Debt. Our tax dollars will be used to service the interest.
Mt Pinatubo dropped the global temp by 2 degrees back in the 90s...and here of late we have had a lot of volcanic activity.
Mt. Pinatubo was a Krakatoa-level event with a VEI of 6(>10km^2 tephra ejected)These piddly eruptions and the three on Kamchatka together probably don't amount to a VEI2(0.01km^2). The steam clouds didn't even top 10,000 feet.
there is some C14 but it's contribution is dwarfed by radon.
Keep guessing, you're getting there. Radon, as a byproduct of Uranium decay is there, but it's the Uranium and Thorium in the fly ash that's the "horror show". The fly ash is more radioactive than nuclear waste. Still,
In most areas, the ash contains less uranium than some common rocks. In Tennessee's Chattanooga shale, for example, there is more uranium in phosphate rock.
and
...McBride and his co-authors emphasize that other products of coal power, like emissions of acid rain-producing sulfur dioxide and smog-forming nitrous oxide, pose greater health risks than radiation.
As for coke, I wouldn't be surprised if that did happen from time to time.
I'm not sure about the 1 in 100,000 ratio, but there is a significant portion of the population that is allergic to the metabolite of Cocaine. They do it, the body metabolises it, and they keel over.
For the rest of the population the problem with the Cocaine HCl high, not so much what you get from chewing coca, is that it immediately kicks in tolerance. Plus, by the time you recognize you have a problem, it's because you have long used up all tolerance. You now need coke just to get to normal.
Cocaine can only be used like vacations. Rarely, on a timescale of a year. If you do it all the time it will bankrupt you and consume your life. You're absolutely right about the physician oversight. That's how bomber and fighter pilots avoid becoming speed freaks. The Flight Surgeon looks after their dosage and can ground them.
It's a shame. Whatever Meringuoid's past sins were that he starts at zero, he deserves every one of your informative mod points. Let's hope the metamods do their job.
Usually this would be where someone makes a sarcastic comment about you liberating the polar bears...but if you could just kill Celine first then I swear we really would welcome you as liberators.
Well, see, this is where you should be kissing our butts, because we've already taken her off your hands and stuffed her into one of our desert hell-holes. http://www.lasvegas-nv.com/celine-dion.htm
You = dumb. Testicular fortitude is one of the least important problems in getting to Mars. Something like keeping people alive in space for years rather than months is the REAL issue.
You=teh FAIL. You have no balls, you mince about on what-ifs and never, ever have a hope of accomplishing anything.
To be fair to it, uranium is not the only fuel.
Thorium breeder reactors will work as well.
Thorium is much more common, about as common as lead.
And in a breeder setup it "makes" uranium.

What does this have to do with the article? The article is about a non-operable, mechanical computer used as a calendar and astrolabe. The closest thing it has to do with weather or climate is that it displays the date. Can't you wait until the next climate article to repost your screed?
Every time there's a Slashdot item relevant to discrimination against women in the tech professions, the majority of Slashdot commenters respond with the kind of misogyny that discourages women out of the tech professions.
What, pray tell, is misogynistic about acknowledging that women are as capable as men in math skills, fart, and use the internet, that is, that they're fully human? Are you just one of those people that continually wishes to keep them in the role of victim?
Perhaps the atheist isn't particularly cowed by the Third (or second for RC) commandment of a non-existent entity and there's more to sexuality than how you go about it and with what.
I have repeatedly gone past these thing that display your speed. Quite often, I see my speed displayed as close to double. I have a handheld GPS and knew that I was going ~15MPH, but I would see on the display that I was going 31MPH. I think that it was the approaching spokes of my bike that was causing the discrepancy. It would be apparent that the same thing could be going on with "spinners" and irregular wheels that are used on cars that young people have.
Since the other person didn't so much explain it as berate you, I'll try. Parish in Louisiana is the equivalent political division to a county or the boroughs of New York. Since Louisiana was largely settled by Catholics, the association with the church was organic. Churches were built where people lived. They were the center of a population with like concerns. So the political division was the same as the priest's domain. Thus the political name derived from the religious, but it's historical curiosity nowadays.
So, in New York City -- the supposed center of the world -- "competition" is 3 carriers? In backwoods America, there's generally one cable and one DSL provider... if you're lucky. That is NOT competiion.
It's worse than that. If you live in an apartment building, coop, or condo, you generally have a choice of one.

Yeesh! It doesn't seem to have worked.

I see your wink, but just to be sure you didn't miss the SHIFT key: It'll cost you just $30,000 for personal, direct, proof.

http://suspended.hostgator.com/?domain=www.offroaders.com Congrats. You took down a hobbyists' forum less than a week into the month. [I'm not sure if a smilie or a frown belongs here.]
Only if they learn about it. They only lose happiness if they go out of their way to make themselves unhappy.
Yet. That's because he hasn't caught you staring at his wife's tits.

You've got to consider that he's looking at a projection.

Nah. The GP has it bassackwards. That moves me toward the notion that he doesn't necessarily know what he's talking about either.
