No it doesn't. The only place that might apply is out in the Bush...any place on the road system is pretty much even on the male-female ratios.
And yes, I live here and have for over a decade. I've also done work for clients in just about every decent sized town in the state, so I have a fair idea of whats out there.
There is indeed passenger service, but they still really gear towards freight and summer tourism. Even inside the company they plan out their year around that(I've worked contracts there).
Alaska Air is still cheaper. They're saying $231 round trip for a 50 minute flight, and AKRR is $299 and takes 12+ hours.
I have, though its been a few years since I went all the way up to Fairbanks..I usually stop at Denali. And I see a fair number of trucks, though not as many as I have in other places.
Alaska's railroad is primarily a freight and tourism line though...its not really a commuter line at all, and is only a travel line where it runs Cruiseship passengers from Seward to Anchorage.
I flew out of Stapleton in Nov 94, and flew back into DIA in April 95 and Stapleton was fully shut down as an airport by then. And unless I'm forgetting something, there was little internet access(or it was somewhat novel for the rocky mountain area and not widespread) and no wifi then at all.
He wouldn't have seen/done much, as there is NO North Concourse at DIA. There's Terminal East and West(same building, different sides) and then Concourses A, B and C. Baggage is in the main Terminal.
The worst thing that VMware has is the the EULA prohibits publishing benchmarks... so is really easy to assume that you will go with the slower approach only to take Xen out...
Actually, they just dropped that from the EULA a few weeks ago.
You're probably thinking of the Louis Slotin incident. He was working with 2 half-spheres and dropped one half...when it impacted it went critical for a moment and irradiated him. He died 9 days later, and a few other people in the lab at the time died within a few years.
The bridge to the island with 50 people is the Gravina Island Bridge(NOT Don Young's Way), and was pitched to be built because Ketchican's airport is across the channel from the city itself and is currently accessable only by ferry...miss the ferry, or if its fogged in, and none one gets in or out. It was budgeted at 220 million.
Don Young's Way is the bridge across the Knik Arm, and does not goto an island at all, but connects Anchorage to the Matanuska-Susitna side of the Arm and opens up several hundred million acres for expansion(Anchorage is about out of space to grow) and cuts the travel time to the Wasilla area from just over an hour to less than 20 minutes(Wasilla has been the largest growing city of its size for the last 7 or 8 years). This was budgeted at 239 million.
They're not completely useless as you sugest(well, the gravina island bridge might be), but the levee's probably could have used the money more. Comes out of different area's of the budget though, so it wasn't going to make a difference in this respect.
The Tsar Bomba (referred to as the Big Bomb by Sakharov in his Memoirs [Sakharov 1990]) was the largest nuclear weapon ever constructed or detonated. This three stage weapon was actually a 100 megaton bomb design, but the uranium fusion stage tamper of the tertiary (and possibly the secondary) stage(s) was replaced by one(s) made of lead. This reduced the yield by 50% by eliminating the fast fissioning of the uranium tamper by the fusion neutrons, and eliminated 97% of the fallout (1.5 megatons of fission, instead of 51.5), yet still proved the full yield design. The result was the "cleanest" weapon ever tested with 97% of the energy coming from fusion reactions. The effect of this bomb at full yield on global fallout would have been tremendous. It would have increased the world's total fission fallout since the invention of the atomic bomb by 25%.
There was some bickering as to weither it had a yield of 50 or 57MT. The designed yield was 50MT, but the americans believed it was 57 based on what fallout they managed to sample, and shortly thereafter the soviets started using this figure as well.
Actually College studies only give you an exemption though the end of the current semester, once its over you would have to report for service. They no longer allow you to stay exempt until you graduate.
uhmmm.....no. The Bends is very much the province of SCUBA divers. The depth compresses the nitrogen in your bloodstream and when you depressurize the nitrogen forms bubbles in your blood that collect in your joints. This generaly happens once you pass 33 feet, or the one atmosphere mark. Not a lot of freedivers can go that deep or stay down that deep that long. If you do some google searches there is a LOT of info out there that has been posted by divers and dive clubs about this.
Find the northmost point on that map, and the go down the coast about halfway to the border. Thats Prudhoe Bay and that's where they want to build this lunacy. It will never happen though, is not enough bandwidth out of the state and almost NO bandwidth from the population centers upto the slope.
I've had the same problem with them. I've had to replace the tape backup unit in one of the servers 5 times in the last year because it's in a high dust enviornment(construction site) and EVERY time they ship me a refubished drive. Even after asking repeatedly for them to send a new from the factory drive, and making the tech promise to mark it so...we still get a refurb.
Actually, the largest ever detonated was a 54 Megaton blast by the russians. As far as the biggest ever mounted, that would be the squadron of SS-18 Satan's that the russians mounted single 20 Megaton warheads on for the express purpose of turning cheyenne mountain into cheyenne lake(as well as a few other select spots)

Other than the coroners reports you mean? They were most definately all still alive until the hit the water. My grandad has been working in and around the space program since the late 50's and has quite a few colleges still working in NASA. One of his friend's daughters works in the Life Sciences dept in houston and she read the autopsy reports. Atleast 2 of the crew were out of the harnesses and moving around when they hit the water.

I haven't the foggiest actually. And Stapleton was decommisioned in early 95, which I think was a few years before any sort of WiFi was available.

Not quite. The Nuclear weapons Archive story about it has this to say.

Its not that weird. The way the lobes are shaped coming off the tower he's actually too close to be in range of it.

Actually I think you mean the F/A 18. The F-14 is a air superiority fighter, not a fighter-bomber. I don't see them taking the F/A 18 offline though.
