As long as the US has nuclear weapons, Iran will have a legitimate reason to develop its own nuclear weapons. That is, to protect against American aggression.
The best way to avoid war with Iran is to disarm, pull our forces out of the region, and open trade with them. We need to help develop their middle class, show that we are not a threat, and give them a business interest in becoming more moderate.
You forgot the holding of hands and singing Kumbaya.
Personally I think a better experiment would be to put Brittney or Paris in an fMRI. If it shows any sign of activity that is higher than a dead fish we will know the BS factor for fMRI is off the charts.
No actually I sent that. I figured I'd give him my 2 cents to let him know that he's not getting a fucking dime from me, or 9.1 cents as the case may be.
I've read that the only land animal that can outrun humans over an entire day is the kangaroo, which also uses bipedal locomotion.
How do you define "out run" a human? Average speed? Total distance? Regardless, several large breed dogs can cover more distance at a much higher average speed than a person. Especially ones that were bred for such things, like a Malamute or a Husky. These types of dogs can easily cover 30+ miles in a day while pulling a sled in the snow. A horse can cover easily cover 30 miles on rough terrain, and Arabians and other types of endurance horses can cover 100 mile in a continuous 24 hour period. As far as I know there are endurance runners who have averaged around 70 miles per day, but they certainly are not the norm.
The jobs saved are easily identifiable and politically connected, while the compensating jobs lost are not. The vast majority of the jobs saved will probably be lost in a few years, so the net is a huge loss.
It's OK, as long at the jobs are lost after the next election, that is the important thing. [/sarcasm]
I should think not. The last time I tried to download FOSS from a server that was in beer I kept losing the connection, and the time I drank beer with FOSS in it, was even worse.
The blanket on my bed (don't know what it's made of) emits sparks, especially when the air is dry (like winter when I use it). I wonder what other radiation/photons it emits besides visible light?
Does sticky tape cause cancer?
Since the tape needed to be peeled in a vacuum to produce x-rays rather than visible light, I assume that it needed to again be done in a vacuum to produce "lower-frequency terahertz radiation". I'm guessing that if you are peeling tape in a vacuum, you have more immediate concerns than cancer.
Given the reduced energy: Re, the Higgs Boson (that's the one that everybody talks about): Is that still the one sure thing that this machine will sort out? If the Higgs exists, will they still see it right away, and if it doesn't, will the scientists still finally say, "There is no Higgs, we need new physics to account for why; things have mass, something in our standard model went awry"?
No, it won't. Actually God keeps breaking the LHC. You didn't think (s)he'd let a bunch of monkeys have h(er/is) particle do you?
Frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR) - the same phenomenon that underlies fingerprint scanners and multitouch screens - is the used to measure a change to the refractive index.

Marcel Carter, of the 200 block of West 37th Place, was arrested Friday after he and his brother asked a CTA employee at a train station if there was a reward for a stolen radio. The employee put Carter on the phone with a dispatcher who recognized Carter's voice and kept him talking until police could arrive.
It is? When did that happen? I agree, it's a compelling theory, but not a fact.
Do you also subscribe to Lamarkism, phrenoloy, abiogenic petroleum, and the luminous aether?
And most of those were compelling theories at one point and were regarded as facts by many as well.
It's easy to poke a few isolated holes in any theory.
I'd say there have been more than a few and it would be much harder to do so if it was a "fact".
You've made real progress when you're able to posit a theory that better explains the facts.
Very true. But you seem to be saying that no one can debate the validity of what you are saying unless they have a better all encompassing theory that you are willing to accept. This is where I have a problem with arguments on both sides. The planetary ecosystem is terribly complex and frankly it's awfully arrogant to think we totally understand what's going especially with the vast amount of data and how it can be used to pretty much show anything you want it to.
A little while back there were reports that the polar ice was returning at a faster rate than was thought possible. Immediately people said that this disproved GW. Then advocates for it said this was a function of GW after years of saying that it was the cause of the melting in the first place. The only fact I took away from this incident is that we really don't know what the hell is going on.
Until then, you AGW deniers are behaving just like the other children in the room, the "intelligent design" advocates.
Put up or shut up.
With the above statement and "Face it: your side lost.", I have to ask, who is acting childish? Honestly I find your stance a hell of a lot more closed minded than that of intelligent design advocates. I have to say I find your attitude to be more like the catholic church during the crusades. If I can't prove beyond any doubt that there is no global warming god in the sky, then obviously it must be there.
I would like to have a little more information before I jump to any conclusions. You see, when I was a kid the big scare was that we were heading for the next ice age.
I actually thought the RIAA had a sudden outbreak of common sense when I read the title, 'RIAA Says "Don't Expect DRMed Music To Work Forever"' and took it to meant that they weren't expecting DRM to work as a way to maintain control over the music industry forever.
Now I understand why people don't read the summary, let alone TFA.

I'll be thirsty after the long ride.
Really?
What they don't tell you is that the only reason there is water on the Moon is because Neil Armstrong needed a pee.
So that's where the Sea of Tranquility came from.
This is about the stupidity of some fMRI data.

Cursive is harder to read, which is who we don't use it
As is your grammar. ;-)
When accompanied by a red, I tend to slow down.
I know when I take reds I tend to slow down too.
No actually I sent that. I figured I'd give him my 2 cents to let him know that he's not getting a fucking dime from me, or 9.1 cents as the case may be.
Could this spell the beginning of the end for IE?
Or the end of privacy?
You mean that hasn't happened yet???
By the same token, your great great grand children will have no idea what you are mumbling.
That's because it'll sound pompous and faggy to them. ;-)
All the other planets keep pointing and saying "You're doing it wrong!"
To which it keeps replying,"G'day mate."
I'm not sure why I capitalized "pirates". Probably because they're so awesome.
Maddox, is that you?

In the original novel, the monolith was on a moon of Saturn.
Too bad the movie came first.
Or maybe a monolith...
Nice try, wrong planet. Besides, "1300 feet in diameter" isn't exactly how you'd measure rectangular parallelepiped.

Hello I am a Nigerian judge Mumbasa Mfune III.
I am collecting funds to create a task force to reclaim lost monies in Nigeria.
If you have lost monies in Nigeria, for the low donation of $2500, I can reclaim ALL lost assets.
Please contact me immediately at Judge.Mufune@yahooze.ng
Dear honorable Mumbasa Mfune III,
Please relay your GPS coordinates so that I can send you a package from orbit..Err I mean airdrop the cash.
Kind regards,
TGR2
Not all Open source software is free and in beer.
I should think not. The last time I tried to download FOSS from a server that was in beer I kept losing the connection, and the time I drank beer with FOSS in it, was even worse.
In short, SCO is still only mostly dead, rather than all dead

What you need is the UK Home ministry to install more cameras, so that you can catch this "God" person (thingie?) red-handed.
Yeah, great idea. You can see how (s)he deals with that here: http://www.cyriak.co.uk/lhc/lhc-webcams.html

He sounds like a common moron.
What if they threw a war on drugs/copying/circumvention/etc, and no one came?
Your alarm clock would wake you up.
