Clues from previous experiments suggested how fluorine might be formed in the rocks. The experiments exposed artificial calcium fluoride to - and -radiation, and high-energy electron beams. The samples often turned violet, because the radiation was splitting calcium fluoride apart to form clusters of calcium ions. Subsequent tests showed that bubbles of fluorine gas were also forming in the lenses.
The same process could explain the stench of antozonite, says Kraus. The mineral contains tiny amounts of radioactive uranium-238, which decays into -emitting daughter nuclides. The rocks have been lying around for 100 million years, says Kraus, which is enough time for the radioactive decay to produce the same effect as seen in the artificial fluorite experiments.
Or is there some hope among the US people that a potential non-Obama future president would be able to solve the economical problems of the US in one swift stroke using his magical superabilities?

shutters work fantastically. and insulation. Nothing can beat those 2 at ROI. (paybacktime sometimes estimated to be at 2 years !)
Seconded... although... on problem windows, a solar screen can pay for itself in 2 months.
I've tried solar film and solar screens. With a screen, since the sun is blocked before it can start heating the window frame (which heats the house with radiant heating), they are the cheaper/better way to go.
A computer doesn't use that much energy. 25-50 watts? That's nothing.
HAHA, WOW! Are you SERIOUS? I have a 1000W PS in my rig, i7-2700K, OC @ 5GHz, with a factory OC'd eVGA GTX 560 Ti that regularly runs in the 500's playing games and has pulled 790W crunching a 16 thread Prime95.
50W, lol.
I typically run my overclock software... UNDERCLOCKING, just to get it close to 100W idle. My vid card is seriously underclocked, and I have the CPU set for around 12% full clock at idle.
Seeing individual raindrops, that's the problem with current weather radar technology.

Yeah, I'm not sure what they plan on doing about that. Seems like it could be a major issue. They might not even have a solution to that yet, although TFA seems to be thinking this is going to be used for Flash memory, rather than CPU transistors, which makes heat considerably less of an issue.

Yeah, and iPhone feels so goddamn flimsy compared to my decade old, 1 pound Motorola. I like the weight and robust feel to my moto, it's one of the most satisfying aspects to it.

I just wish someone would make 3.5" drives besides OCZ. Hell - I wish someone would make 5.25" drives.
Why? You see an almost perfect scaling. The cost of 1x1024GB ~= 2x512GB ~= 4x256GB ~= 8x128GB. And since you can already put $2500 worth of flash in a 2.5" drive, what do you need 3.5" drives for? $10,000 drives? Or 5.25", $100,000 drives? The way things are going it's more likely my next SSD would be a mSATA drive...
BTW if anybody has an article on these 'small caching SSDs for desktops" I'd sure like to read it. I've heard of small drives being used for servers, where it is basically just being used to bootstrap the OS into RAM, but I haven't seen anything about using small SSDs as caching drives on desktops. hell does Win 7 even properly support something like that, or is it just being used like Readyboost? Like i said if you have a link I'd sure like to read it, I've still got 3 SATA II slots free on my PC, wouldn't mind a cheap speed boost.
I'd like to hear comments from these women when they are in their 40s and fat (or just old). "Nobody looks at me anymore. I used to be cute and guys would give me all kinds of attention. Now they don't even look.:-( " Young women (and men) don't appreciate the beauty they have until after it's gone.
I know women in their 40s that exercise regular, lift weights, and look better then they did in their 20-30s. They have hardly any wrinkles (avoided the sun), they had children, and yes they have a career. Some even in the fitness industry.
They turn more heads then women half their age, and are proud doing so.
Beauty is something you can maintain and improve upon.
So, you just decided to completely ignore what the parent said and go off on your own diatribe?
Assuming you mean "orders of magnitude," you might want to familiarize yourself with what that actually means. 80 tonnes and 20 tonnes are not different by an order of magnitude. Not even one.
Also, the 80 tonne estimate seems to be from the distant past. More recent estimates are in the high 20s, so the difference with this estimate isn't even 50%.

Man, you are a dick... lol
If I would have fuckin meant orders of magnitude, I would have fuckin said it.
I didn't say it, cause "orders of magnitude" is incorrect, as you brilliantly pointed out, after you changed the meaning of what I said by adding words.
magnitude [mægntjud] n., 1. relative importance or significance 2. relative size or extent 3. (Mathematics) Maths a number assigned to a quantity, such as weight, and used as a basis of comparison for the measurement of similar quantities
Yes, when you add other words to a word and make a new phrase, it changes the meaning sometimes. Maybe you should give up on that assuming part. It doesn't work well for you.
I was further referring to things such as carbon sequestering, temperature and humidity. Which, and I'm not gonna do the math, probably would be "orders of magnitude" different when you consider it doesn't have to support the mass of what was previously thought to exist as far as animals needing nutrients.
That is a hell of a long time to miss that concept. We wasted a lot of time and resources predicting a lot of things that are off by several magnitudes believing that they were of a different weight.
There will be a flood of new data from related sciences following this. And probably a number of other studies trying to disprove it.
