Haven't you ever seen the show's where the cops are digging through people's trash?
Historian's dig through various age's trash all the time. It tells alot about people in the past. Digging through landfills is just digging further back into the past than excavating a 2000 year old site.
As for the landfills, I've read that the conditions in many landfills are such that little decomposition occurs. It's a combination of no air getting to them, the temperature and pressure that kills the bacteria that are the main decomposers.
I'd beg to differ. Remember the video's of the 1940's? They were fond of water cannons, as I recall. "Loitering" was a common charge on the part of the racists, as I recall.
We don't arrest demonstrators until they break a law- whether it be by commiting violence or trespassing or such.
People sometimes talk about a coup happing in the US. As we are currently set up, at least half of the troops would rebel, neutralizing the military as a source for a coup. I'd be more worried about the police forces...
It all comes down to how expensive it is to get the materials to be recycled to the processing plant. This is where the distinction of pre-consumer and post-consumer waste comes in. Many things that never leave the manufacturing plant can and are recycled because they can be treated almost like raw materials right there. When you go post-consumer, the quality, condition, purity and cleanness are unknown and often worse, leading to extra expense on top of the collection and transportation expenses.
hard to make the business of collecting a real profit maker.
As far as us 'republicans' are concerned, this is very simple. If somebody could make a profit doing it, it'd be done right and left. Until then, it's 'stored' in the cheapest method possible (landfill). When methods are developed that make exploiting landfills profitable, it'll be done.
Why? Because I don't know how far they intend to go. There have been multiple cases of where it looked to be a simple robbery, so the victims cooperated, only to have the robber turn around and start killing them. I'm going to use whatever force is necessary to prevent them from overpowering me.
And how am I supposed to know how much force the criminal was going to use. Is it hitting him enough to stop him? What if I'm a 80 year old grandmother? Am I supposed to just accept being beaten so badly that I end up in the hospital for a week, or a month, and just hope that the police catch them?
The subsidizing of farmers is an old tradition from back when yields would vary widely year to year in order to have enough production to prevent starvation during the lean years.
Consider: being without food is very bad. A crop takes 2-6 months to grow, and the growing season is limited in most areas. Natural market forces have a tendency to equalize on 'just enough' production. You have a bad year, and crop prices will shoot up high, and you'd have starvation.
1) Pretty much anything is 'recyclable' if you're willing to take the effort.
2) The reason the local video store doesn't do this? They want you to come back in and rent more movies!
The video stores have been able to undercut the cost of these discs with the permanent ones. I don't see these discs making it unless they can be produced cheaper than standard DVD's, or can be 'recycled' back into the movie by sticking it into a machine and regenerating the layer, but then you have the problems of getting them back intact.
You're forgetting Deformation. The tin can is going to deform even from a glancing hit, and will likely loose seal.
As far as glancing hits go, the balloon's a multiple layer construction consisting of mylar, kevlar, rubber, and some ceramic 'cloth'. It has to pass the very same tests that a rigid structure does.
Actually, for a RAID-5 solution, if you want uber-security of the ability to suffer multiple drive failures, you'd be moving into RAID-6 territory. Or you could say the heck with it and mirror the array on a different channel.
Do so few people use SCSI raid for home use? And if so, why? Expense, mostly. $272 for a 147 GB 10k SCSI, $170 for a 250 GB 7.2k SATA. An Extra 100 GB for a $100 less? Everybody at work (a large network shop) loves talking about their RAID-0 gaming machines. I shudder each time, as I have had HD failures. Backup Backup Backup!
As far as my home installation goes, I have a single HD for my OS/cache install, and my data goes onto the RAID array, so that even if my OS corrupts it's HD, I can rebuild without affecting my data.
As for not spending $30 for a SCSI HD, that would entail getting into the SCSI world. The guy would also need a card. So we're up to a $100 for a old HD, that while it has fast seek time, a brand new 250 GB IDE drive will smack it down on read rate, and has a 8mb cache to help insure it has it in cache!
This is where the difference between license/purchase scheme comes in. Companies want the best of both worlds (dictate how you use it, and you're responsable for the media). However, if they don't have a disc replacement policy, the idea is that judges will tend to see the 'purchase' point more than the contract point, and that means that you can do whatever you want with it. Kinda like when you buy a car.
Just because it's "inflatable" doesn't mean that it can't take a hit. You're not talking about a penny rubber ballon here. Even a rigid structure doesn't take hits well at the velocities encountered in space. And you'd actually have less chance of a breach with low impact collisions with a non-rigid structure. And the 2000 number awfully low, I think that's the activly tracked stuff.
By not having to send up a rigid structure, you can save on weight and space, resulting in considerable savings, as you can send up a larger structure with less assembly in space required.
Besides, by the time you inflate one of these to 1 atmosphere, the pressure difference between that and outside you'll have a very rigid structure. From looking at the articles, parts of the structure are rigid, providing points for preset 'utilities'. The expandable portions would be to provide space.
I was thinking more as a military/insurgent. As much as the news likes calls them terrorists on TV, if they aren't going after non-combatant civilian targets, they're guerillas or insurgents, though it does get iffy if they're from a third country (illegal combatant). At my rank, all I have to worry about is that I'm allowed to shoot them if they're shooting at me. Anybody I capture, well, I'll treat like a POW until I get them to a processing center and taken off my hands.
As far as getting two people positioned being more difficult, I think my point stands:
An attack where one RPG is effective requires:
1 shooter 1 RPG 1 Location
If you raise the bar, you need 2 shooters (1 to neutralize the defense, 1 to effect the kill). Ooh, double the chance of a miss! And a greater chance that the defenders will get at least one shooter, neutralizing the attack unless additional forces are used. 2 RPGs, which don't grow on trees even over there Either 2 locations located suitably together, or 1 large one(Our soldiers don't have to worry about quite as many ambush sites).
So you need better scouting for the location and more training as the team needs to be able to place 2 rpg's into the vehicle within a matter of seconds.
Add the system supposidly more than triples the vehicle's resistance, and you have it becoming a major hurt for the opposing forces.
And as far as doing 'as much damage to a single target as possible', that's not entirely true. Yes, I'd want to destroy my target, but doing more damage than wrecking it is a waste of resources, which I don't have any to 'spare'. Parallel attacks are a usefull propaganda tool, as the news will report that I attacked in three different locations at the same time more widely than if I only hit one target, unless the one 'target' is a big one, such as a entire convoy.
DU is a heavy metal. It is slightly radioactive, just like carbon and a few other elements essential to life as we know it.
For the penetration required for combat, any suitable element is toxic. Just imagine the effect of launching hundreds of lead projecticles to replace a couple of DU shots. The cobalt mixes aren't great for life either.
Big ass mines are expensive and hard to place such that infantry won't spot it. We're talking about a couple day's effort here. You can't just go, look, the Americans are headed over there by this route today, and still have enough time to plant the bomb.
Unarmored Hummer's are much easier to take out, so the smaller explosives are easier to hide.
Here's the rub: getting two shooters positioned is harder than getting one positioned.
It's like bomb detectors, the anti-ballistic missile system, and all other 'armor' systems. You raise the bar. In this case, the enemy can only do half as many attacks against the vehicles if they have a limited weapon supply. What if one of the shooters get hit before they can fire? Ambush failed. It's like RAID-0. One HD fails, data lost. You can place three shooters to help prevent this, but that's taking resources that you'd rather use elsewhere.
The difference here was a mistake vs. deliberate falsification. Even doctors make mistakes. As long as it doesn't get into the incompetence area (almost takes effort), it's a totally different area than falsification.
In your example: Student 1 made a mistake. Student 2 caught mistake and tried to use it as thesis. Faculity fails to properly check research, and improperly rejects work. So when work is validated, they had to credit Student 2. Student 1, hopefully knowing better now, has been designing boring buildings & bridges for years with no problems.
I don't have a 'plan' so much as a roadmap. As they say, a plan doesn't survive contact with the enemy. As a libertarian represtative would be the 'enemy' of both the Republicans and Democrats, a plan wouldn't survive.
1: Decriminalize 'victimless' crimes as much as possible. Reason: It tends to hurt organized crime, as they lose the income from running black markets.

Or at the very least, make them work 40 hours a week for it! 3: Reduce/Eliminate corporate welfare schemes. 4: Stop federal funding of local programs. A State's schools should be funded by the state, not the feds, for example. There are all sorts of studies that show that programs run at a federal level have pathetic efficiency. I've read that only 30 cents on the dollar makes it to the 'end user' in welfare!

The article suggested nitrogen. We already haul compressed air up into orbit. You'd simply have a gas cylinder to provide the pressure.
