On the gripping hand, NYT or whomever cannot retract every print copy they have distributed. They can't retract every digital copy either, but I wouldn't rely upon Google cache or the way back machine to have snagged any random page.
You negelect the fact that we ae apparently overdue for an impact.
It's usally given as 2/3 of the surface being water. A water impact could be far more devestating than a land impact; Cp of H20 << Cp rock.: much more water is vaporized and chucked into the atmosphere, water could stay in the atmosphere longer, especially higher up (where it would wreak more havoc with the ozone).
Oh wait, so you like it when the same question gets asked time after time on USENET? Yes, yes, there are FAQs, but they aren;t always read and don't contain everything. And what if it isn't a FAQ, but merely an occasionally recurring question?
Are search engines spam? No? Right. They aren't. And yet you must manually-opt out with robotos.txt (which doesnt; guarantee your protection).
Bricks and wallwarts are the plague of mankind. UPS integration is an interesting idea. Of course there is the small matter of Ohm's law; DC voltage loss...
I suspect there are several reasons the power supply is integrated: historical momentum, satisfaction in a heavy box, safety concerns and laws(many machines use high-voltage/ universal power supplies)
They can, eventually, to some extent. Current estimates are that the CO2 leg of the carbon cycle is 100 years. Compared to say the more common green house gas of water vapor which has a lifetime on the order of days.
Other points to consider. Heat flows both ways. you run a pump one duyring the summer to dump heat, and the other in the winter to pull it. The heat capacity of planet exceeds your imagination.
The point isn't the amount of energy available. The point is how much CO2 gets dumped into the atompshere. PBS has been showing some documentaries about this this week, take a gander.
Get a clue. The Washington Times is hardly an authoritative source of scientific evidence.
We have greater access to energy than ever before in the US, and what does it get us? Joe Six Pack and pals driving SUVs that are half as efficient as a normal vehicle, which are in turn 1/4 as efficient as HEVs.
Last Chance To See is wonderful, I think it's the best of what I've read (HH anthology + Dirk Gently). It's also a good intro to his stuff for non-fans, as it's non-fiction, inofrmative, *and* funny.
No. That means we have that particular component of the Martian atmosphere here, I was
afterall giving the ingredients (CO2 + inert gases). In fact the partial pressure of CO2
in the two atmospheres is similar
( (.9532 * 1/150)/(1 *.001) = 6).
Your complete lack of biological knowledge astounds me.
For terran bacteria
withstanding vacuum is clearly more
difficult than an atmosphere of carbon dioxide
(Hmm we have that here), and inert gases.
There is in fact an excess of material to feed upon.
Not to mention that the lack of atmosphere on the moon results in an exposure to high levels of hard radiation.
I hope it's not too difficult for you to consider the possibilities of martian bacteria here on Earth.

Hell, just drive through Donner pass in the winter... black snow.

Colonize is not the same as emmigrate.
Do you have statistics to back this up? It seems more likely that on the whole we are more tolerant, and so individuals are more open and vocal.
Referring to it as spelunking is fine.
Search google for urban spelunking.
Heh, Coulomb's law aside, protons are far denser
than a gram per milliliter.
The volume of a proton is roughly 2.7E-46 m3.
A ml is 1cm3 or 1E-6 m3.
So 5.95E15 mol protons / ml.
1 ml of water is 1 gram, that's 1/18 of a mol H2O.
1 gram of protons is 1 mol of protons.
The Earth's mass is 6E27 g.
1 billion liters, or about 500 swimming pools
of protons.

erp. SUV/s are 1/4 efficent as HEVs.
Normal are 1/2 as efficent as HEVs.

Energy, like the article says.
Besides, there are non-synthetic
sources for some plastics.

Eh hemm, some are knockoffs of old DOS games ;-)
2 is far and away more important than 1;
Think NEO.
Mars would be a much safer place than the moon;
Think NEO, Think hard radiation.
Sun has a /proc, in fact somebody has
been working on reimplementing some of
Sun's proc tools to Linux;

Reread. I did *not* say we have a CO2 atmosphere on Earth. If you need anything else I refer you to the magic info box

*cough* *cough* *bullshit*
Yeah, because we never left
bacteria on the moon for years
(accidentally no less)
that were later found and still
viable.
And if you have to, to get the ball rolling,
'multi-nationals' vs. 'foregin governments'.
