This is how they turned out some of the oil fires in Kuwait after Gulf War One. They packed barrels full of C4 and suffocated the fires out by displacing the oil as fuel with explosives to choke off the fire.
Not exactly. Explosions that snuff out fires at the wellhead displace the fuel and the oxygen necessary for the fire to continue.
Not necessarily, though it does inure you to the possibility that the theoretical protection of the user interface is more important than individual satisfaction with its implementation.
Light activatable G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), also known as opsins, harvest light through their covalently bound chromophore 11-cis retinal (11CR), an aldehyde derivative of vitamin A1,2.
Thanks again,/. Covalently... a new word to insert in otherwise innocuous conversation to thwart my intelligent friends' belief that they might be my mental equal.
In South Korea, it's apparently a different story. Samsung alone is responsible for 20 percent of the country's $1.1 trillion economy. For reference, government spending there also makes up about 20 percent of GDP.
There's no telling how much influence this translates to within Samsung's home nation.
I have a cancer paper for you: stop eating sacks of sugar. Cured.
Sentiment is spot on, but stopping the self-destructive behavior now prolly doesn't cure the cancer... stopping before it starts, though, that's a game changer.
Replicating the results of experiments, is of course, the scientific method.
Doing so for about $25K each is not garnering much interest in the scientific community, since so many research and development grants far exceed that budgetary bottleneck, particularly when a directed outcome is encouraged.
In much the same fashion as Guns don't kill people, People kill people..., sites that allow users the freedom to work within, and well outside the copyright infringement law, are not liable for misuse by those same users.
For example: The cash dollar, or Euro/yen/yuan, can be used for millions of legitimate bartering transactions. Yet, there are categorically provably a small percentage of illegal transactions that result from the sheer anonymity of these cash trades.
It's fair to say Google has developed the ability to skirt the morality of these issues, yet if the possibility of corruption of the system by the users is deemed a blacklisted offense, what happens to Google's Youtube?
Perhaps cash will simply morph into what it has always been, what Bitcoin strives to be... the currency of choice in peer to peer transactions where closed circuit cameras and tracker cell phones are intentionally left behind.
We've had these "population outstripping the resources" projection arguments for decades; since the world population was 3 billion... guess what, we keep outperforming the grading curve with technological advances.
Sure, conservation efforts are necessary, but if humans are able to overcome our own innate shortsightedness, it will be our innovation that wins the day, rather than our ability to sacrifice now for a better future.
With exponential growth in third world country populations as well as rapid industrialisation of China etc. this is only the beginning. What needs to be done is to make a choice: More humans helped into this world through aid and relief efforts for irreversible damage to the environment, or a sustainable future for those that will be left of us.
Please prove me wrong.
"Is that you, Thanos?" Perhaps, using your infinite power to multiply resources is preferable to the extinction of a significant portion of the population.
I'm sure of two things: My faithful canine companion will be on the wrong side of a door shortly, and advertisers will not pay for data on potential customers if it's filtered through spectacles that preclude disseminating the differences inherent in race, color, creed, religion, gender, income, age, and toilet paper preference.
It seems reasonable, after the death of Circuit City, Sears, Radio Shack, et al; that some brick and mortar competitors to the Bezos juggernaut would thrive... simply provide a level of service unprofitable and as yet unavailable from the online bookseller...
We've seen a dramatic shift to the remarkable ease online purchasing has provided customers, yet every volley is instigation for an improved return.
The mainstream media behave like petulant children that didn't get their way. Their attacks on trump and Putin just read like nonsense now. Putin is not the boogeyman, China is.
Of course they are. We've elected a petulant, childlike, American President... the media are responding in kind, like they've been gut-punched.
Putin, the Chinese, Trump, and the US allies since WWII are not the boogeyman; it's the US electorate.
Despite the American President's obvious fealty to the Russian President, the Chinese apparently hold no sway over his actions, and is the nation that stands to lose the most if a trade war continues to fester.
Ebay is golden for obscure parts like specialty motors, equipment, and such that are difficult to source elsewhere, and the service is generally better than the pessimist in me suggests it might be...
Amazon is the ultimate umbrella corporation, protecting the purchaser better than competitors from the malfeasance of sellers not burdened by a super-sized conscience.
Be careful what you wish for. Amazon, the behemoth, is nearing 50% of total online sales... ebay, Apple, and Walmart are 2,3,& 4, with multiple imitators attempting to crack the top few.
Full disclosure: I'm an Amazon Prime subscriber, yet balance is of tantamount importance in every marketplace.

oh, and possibly a fourth: can you imagine the environmental impact paperwork that would be required on a deliberate fire?
Not to mention, the additional risk of combustion that's created by the fuel of all that environmental impact paperwork...

Care to explain to me how it is that I own an apartment in Stockholm, which I'm about to sell for roughly double what I paid for it?
(Yes, I'll have to pay tax on the gain, but I'd have to do the same if I sold a home at a profit in the US.)
Not if it's your only home... your homestead capital gains are typically not taxable in the US.
Heh heh
Hell, I didn't know the word Khyber before Slashdot.
Or my palms are, perhaps, busy remedying the azure state of another bodily part.
