It wasn't. Helium is too light an non-reactive to have endured as part of the Earth's composition. It's formed by radioactive decay (alpha particles capturing electrons). Natural gas reservoirs happen to be gas-tight, and so He collects there if appropriate decaying ores are also present.
Nor would it be when it occurs at less than one part per million in the atmosphere. Also, being the coldest refrigerant available it'd take a metric fucking shitload of energy to condense out. You might want think things through before reacting, eh?
You're a moron. The planet is constantly losing atmosphere, but lighter substances are lost at a higher rate than others. Helium is the lightest naturally occuring gas on Earth, so it flees most "eagerly." Even so, the problem here is not that the helium we waste in balloons etc. escapes the atmosphere very quickly, it is that we are moving it from natural gas deposits where it is occurs in high concentrations, to the atmosphere where it is extremely diffuse and essentially non-receoverable.
There's no energy to be had from fissioning He or C, were that possible. You get energy by fusing light elements and splitting heavy elementsn
This is actually a long-standing problem, and it was covered in New Scientist several years ago. Of course, it's not unique. We waste all sorts of non-renewable resources, but this one is particularly scarce. Helium is naturally occuring in natural gas deposits, which we of course are tapping out; and of course trace levels in air. Would you rather have an MRI or a balloon that'll choke sea-life? Of course, we could be using Neon for such trivial uses, preserving He for purposes relinat about its unique properties such as refrigeration.
Actually no. The name escapes me at the moment (and my search-fu is weak after a red-eye flight) but their is a classic example in genetic of a "species" of bird found the world over which is subtly differentiated. A given "sub-species" can breed with it's neighbors, but not one from the other side of the planet...
No, it's not. It can have that connotation in other instances (radiation resistance) but in the case of drug resistance there is the implication of having been susceptible at one point. MRSA is multiply resistant because it's *no longer affected* by over/mis-used-antibiotics X, Y and Z.
The intent of your analogy is good, but the example is poor. I believe the canonical choice is whether planes fly. Submarines most definitely do not swim by any standard definition of the word, but planes may or may not for various definitions of fly. That is to say, planes (or helicopters) are more like Arthur Dent's perpetual falling than a bird.
What do you mean "will?" It's nothing new, so they must have developed a "logical" retort by now. We study HIV by infecting chimps and Rhesus monekys. Furthermore, it's long been thought/accepted that HIV evolved from SIV.
25,000 is more than sufficient. Do you have any idea of the sample sizes used in polls gauging public opinion in a nation of 300million? 1,000. You don't need unfathomably large data sets for them to be statistically meaningful, just well selected and more than you can count on you and your housemates' digits...

Maybe if you didn't treat your posessions as outlets for your childish agressions and negligent manhandling this
wouldn't be an issue.
Flash isn't an Adobe *developed* product. It was originally created by Macromedia.
Yes, because then yo might actually have some customers.
Now banned from all flights: any light-emitting device whatsoever.
98Lite anyone? They've also continued develop for later releases e.g; 2000 and XP, but no Vista.
In other news, everythign old is new again.
FYI: "perdu" is French for "lost"

We were, the word just didn't get out. I just managed to track down the article I alluded to in an earlier comment.

Employers and banks have a legitimate right to your SSN to converse with the government, nice misdirection there.
I've rented many an apartment without my SSN (it's never been asked for) and no right-thinking individual should
ever offer it to a landlord.
SSN is not a fucking ID in the authentication case sense of the term used in everyday speech,
it even says so on the cheap-ass piece of blue paper.
