The odds of hitting a human is nearly 4 tenths of one percent.
That is really quite good odds of a human getting hit since I'm sure they removed all odds of chances of falling into the ocean before they released this data.
The numeric odds with the data given that one if the units hits a Chinese person is almost 2% if my brain is working properly on this foggy monday morning...
People in India aren't much better off.
***HERE IS THE NUMBER 1 REASON TO VOTE***

Should You Vote?

· Score: 1
The number 1 reason to vote directly affects all the main issues discussed on Slashdot and all the other issues that you might see as pertaining to your existance.
That reason is: The next President is likely to have the opportunity to elect I have heard up to 4 US Supreme Court Justices. The last few major votes have split 5/4 or 4/5 and if the president elects the men or women he most believes will vote in his favor then the general tie will be broken. This has everything to do with why you should vote! Whether it involves Napster, Microsoft, DECSS, hacker laws, copyright law, or any "Intellectual" property issues. Go vote! Then when your man loses you can claim the right to complain. Otherwise you have no right to speak poorly of the elected official.
I'll fully agree with your stance on voting for whoever you think will perform to your liking. If you believe in a candidate then your vote is not EVER wasted.
BUT using Jesse Ventura as an example is not a good analogy. I saw through Ventura's false front and voted for Mr. Coleman based almost solely on his stance against gun control and pro concealed carry issues. Ventura was obviously seeking to promote himself. He has not stopped his longing to be in the spotlight. He was recently in a soap opera for God's sake! He travels non stop promoting multiple books and conducts radio and TV interviews all over the country to promote them. He's simply in it for the money and eventhough he enjoys high ratings in the polls even now, if you talk to most people who voted for him they will say they are disappointed in his self promotion.
My reasoning for voting for Coleman is because crime is a major thing in the metro area and Minnesotans are quite accustomed to firearms. This would be a minor step for many of us but yet we don't follow the 35 other states in the union with legislation that is pro concealed carry.
Good luck.
Respiration--
The process by which an organism(TM) exchanges gases with its environment. The term commonly refers to the overall process by which a gas (oxygen) is taken from the air and transported to the cells(TM) for the oxidation of organic molecules, while the products of oxidation, carbon dioxide and water, are returned to the environment.
This is at first glance an obvious attempt at covering up what the Carnivore system really is. Since public opinion holds universities in such high regard we as a general public are expected to trust their judgement. Why that is I do not know since after all they are still business that are attempting to succeed in the world. It also just so happens that universities are also government entities. Anyone see a conflict of interest?
How much longer is it going to take for all the self proclaimed hackers out there to realize that soon they will need an internet of their own?
troll v.,n. 1. [From the Usenet group alt.folklore.urban] To utter a posting on Usenet designed to attract predictable responses or flames; or, the post itself. Derives from the phrase "trolling for newbies" which in turn comes from mainstream "trolling", a style of fishing in which one trails bait through a likely spot hoping for a bite. The well-constructed troll is a post that induces lots of newbies and flamers to make themselves look even more clueless than they already do, while subtly conveying to the more savvy and experienced that it is in fact a deliberate troll. If you don't fall for the joke, you get to be in on it. See also YHBT. 2. An individual who chronically trolls in sense 1; regularly posts specious arguments, flames or personal attacks to a newsgroup, discussion list, or in email for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion. Trolls are recognizable by the fact that the have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait. Like the ugly creatures they are named after, they exhibit no redeeming characteristics, and as such, they are recognized as a lower form of life on the net, as in, "Oh, ignore him, he's just a troll." 3. [Berkeley] Computer lab monitor. A popular campus job for CS students. Duties include helping newbies and ensuring that lab policies are followed. Probably so-called because it involves lurking in dark cavelike corners.
Some people claim that the troll (sense 1) is properly a narrower category than flame bait, that a troll is categorized by containing some assertion that is wrong but not overtly controversial. See also Troll-O-Meter.
The use of `troll' in either sense is a live metaphor that readily produces elaborations and combining forms. For example, one not infrequently sees the warning "Do not feed the troll" as part of a followup to troll postings.
Jeez, some people will try to impose political correctness on any topic...:-) "Equating gentile neighbors with "dogs" is hardly how one follows the Golden Rule." Funny how this went from a topic about jury selection in a trial to religion in about 4 posts... A little advice: Religion is crap, FAITH is the real deal. Whatever that faith is in is your own business. End of discussion.

So as to make the odds as publicly favorable as possible.
You can't really believe that they wouldn't factor in the 70 some percent of ocean coverage into the computer model before they gave us these numbers.
