Nope. I was thinking that there were Danes involved in that too, but a walk through Wikipedia reveals apparently not. The explorer in Verne's original novel was German. Arne Saknussemm, the (fictional) medieval alchemist whose lead they were following, was an Icelander. Other incarnations have varied things; in the movie (and later animated series) with the duck, the explorer was Scottish. There was one version with a Swede involved. But apparently no Danes.
The lion's share of drug research *expenses* is corporate. The expensive part is the mass clinical trials for FDA approval, and the corporations run just about all of those.
Physics also dictates that if something is in the way, an object cannot fall straight down,
Sure it can, and it *will*, if the "something in the way" is evenly distributed.
In the case of Building 7, the building was in the way and yet it fell straight down and achieved free-fall speed (i.e. there was no more resistance than air).
Evidence on the free-fall speed assertion, please.
The only way a building can fall straight down is if support is removed from the bottom. This is why a demolition industry exists. Getting a building to not fall on surrounding buildings is very difficult, requiring months of planning and calculation.
Getting a *small* building to not fall on surrounding buildilngs can be difficult. The bigger a building is, the more it weighs, *and* the greater the load on the supports (square-cube law), and greater the tendency for it to fall straight down (and the faster it will so fall, as well).
yes. and both 1, 2, and 7 all collapsed NEATLY IN THEIR OWN FOOTPRINTS. Exactly like all those videos of controlled demolition. Them's gamblin' odds if you ask me!
Because, as we all know, if gravity is left to take its natural course, it pulls a building *sideways*.
Kinda old. It mentions the replacement project, Sentinel, due "sometime in 2009". What happened to it? Why, it's been delayed multiple times, had severe contractor problems, including a stop work order, and has as of last word, been delayed to next May. But it'll be done by then, you betcha.
Terrorists may be poking around, but in the end, they aren't going to be very interested. Why? No visuals. Terrorists want great visuals that will make news and the blogs.
EB White said it so much better than I could, so I'll just quote him:
âoeThe best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then â" to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.â
Article makes an assumption that is usually not true--that salaried workers get paid on a month-related schedule, which always causes all sorts of problems, not just leap-year related. I'm salaried and get paid every two weeks; leap year means squat as far as getting paid is concerned.
This is like coming to a conclusion with an abusive husband that you'll supply his wife with band-aids.
No, it's like coming to a conclusion with an abusive husband that you'll supply *him* with band-aids, with the assurance that they'll be used to treat his wife. You never actually get to see if the band-aids are used that way, though.
The hilarious part of this link is that the article detailing how screwed people are for depending on Microsoft's cloud services is stuffed with rollover ads for...Microsoft's cloud services!
The main advantage of SUV's [sic] are their clearance
Actually, the main advantages of SUVs are that they allow you to buy a station wagon without getting the "I'm a suburban drone" vibe that goes with a station wagon, and that they are classified as light trucks by the federal government, enabling them to bypass many of the environmental regulations imposed on cars.
The price of single parenthood or dual-(over)working parenthood is very high indeed (makes you wonder why so many are eager to have kids without any sort of stable 2 parent household).
It used to be considered a bad thing to have children outside of a stable two parent household. But nowadays we are much more enlightened and know that holding such opinions is horribly self-righteous and narrow-minded.
A tiny minority want to do hypertext stories, but the minority that wants to get a created world and be thrown in it to buildtheir own story is not so small. It's estimated that 20 million people have played Dungeons and Dragons. The problem isn't that people don't want to build their own stories in a structured setting, the problem is that hypertext sucks at that--gaming does it much better.
Otherwise, you're just creating a world and throwing a reader into it to do the work of building his own story. There's nothing wrong with it for the tiny minority who want to do it,
Not such a tiny minority, but gaming (both computer and pen-and-paper) is much better way to achieve this than "hypertext literature".
Some states have successfully made it illegal for anyone under the MPAA or ESRB rating to see the movie or purchase the game without parental permission.
I'm not aware of any such state. Can you identify these "some states"?
Not totally true. Target wants me to buy my everyday products there, even if it doesn't mean upselling me and getting me out the door with a TV or housewares. Marketing that gets me in the door makes a store happy, even if it's not specifically to get me to buy things I don't need.
Wrong! Target tries to get you in the store as often as possible specifically so that they can upsell you. If they don't that day, they aren't going to show their disappointment, because that's not productive. But that's why they push so hard to get you in the store. And it works often enough to be very worth their while.

Either a) they've made a mistake or b) the LED is consuming itself in some fashion to produce the additional light and will eventually burn out.
To which Google would say, "Use Chrome!" It's always good when you can achieve multiple objectives at once.
Gah, I mean TH White, of course.

If you had "flat tires" that put thousands of cars out of service all at once, then flat tires *would* be putting nails in the auto industry coffin.
