A byproduct of the process (that at present technology levels produces very little net electricity) is fresh water. If Mr. AC Clarke is correct, look for these to become much more cost efficient in the not too near future.
One of the more interesting fictional instances of genealogy I've encountered is found in the Anne Rice Vampire Novels: family trees are kept by the matriarchal method only. It's Momma's baby, but Daddy's maybe.
You can either complete a piece of scientific work that will benefit all of mankind for eternity, or, you can use your final hours to be with your loved ones. These two choices are mutually exclusive. What say you?
He was hilarious last night, as the best of humor always contains an uncomfortable truth within it. I will view the broad spectrum of newscasts from time to time to see how each is reporting the same event, but in matters on the order of 9/11, CNN has always been my go-to newscast. I find my old jaded self still capable of disappointment today.
Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, a wretched whore, and an honorable journalist are at a crossroads, equidistant from a pile of gold at the intersection's center. The starting gun sounds and they race to the prize. Who wins?
The wretched whore... because now that we're all grown up, we know there's no such thing as the fat man in red, the magic egg-laying rabbit, or the honorable newsman.
If your assumptions are correct, April 19th (anniversary of the Murrah explosion & the Branch Davidian fire) and April 20th (Hitler's birthday, Columbine, and possibly the date of Mohammed's birth) are coming right up. Let's hope the worst is not yet to come. As an aside, there was an ammonium nitrate explosion 10 days after 9/11 in France that was later blamed on human error, and there is such a thing as happenstance,
Ironic, as it was featured as a destination for the injured in Beantown yesterday... one of the many upbeat stories amid the carnage was the revelation by newscasters that the area has so many first rate medical facilities.
AND... the analysis here is , by and large, logical and rational. Compare that to the wildly inaccurate, scoop-driven 24 hour news cycle. In a pinch, I'd rather hear from people who think for a living.
There is nothing wrong with a wonderful night including you and your wife in a hot tub, but as to the "best way" we'll agree to disagree. Even in an allegedly monogamous relationship, the very best way is with the tub full of women who keep telling your wife how lucky she is to have you.
Settle down. Since we've rung out the towel that is the American tax base, we're borrowing all we can already, and we lack the political will to cut ANY spending... NASA would have an easier time picking ticks off an angry bobcat than getting a significant budget increase. Perhaps they're angling for some riyals?
A manned exploration for the purpose of establishing a settlement is one sound reason. There is yet much to learn about mankind's physical and psychological ability to exist outside of Mother Earth for extended periods, and a settlement on the lunar surface would help advance technology for a Martian adventure. Breaking the gravitational fields of both Earth and Luna in advance of a trip to Mars is obviously a terrible waste of fuel. Breaking gravity from Luna alone is practical enough to be considered.
Tax evasion is undoubtedly a big part of the offshore banking industry. Many other folks who find themselves with, for instance, scads of narco-dollars and embezzled euros, need a banking haven to stash their loot. In many cases, these are people who would be happy to launder their money and pay taxes.
It's not just for tax evasion. Keep in mind that plenty of people stash money in these havens they have no reasonable way of accounting for in their home country.
If you have a Smartphone with you can be tracked. If you have a Smartphone and enemies in high places, you will be tracked. Ironically, the cell phone is both a lifeline and a leash.

People tune in Every Friggin' year to the news coverage of Puxatony Phil.
Charlie Brown always kicks the football.
It's April Fools and it's tradition..... just like giving Christmas gifts that make people as happy as receiving many presents you'd never purchase for yourself.

In Irish Boston, Former Soviet Chechnyans bomb you.
Dead, right along with any possible future restraints upon ubiquitous government CCTV surveillance.

The likelihood that I'd pick up a cousin at the family reunion is orders of magnitude greater than turning to /. for mating advice.

Right, and your Methuselahan UID is prior to the advent of numerals.

So you're saying if humans were that resilient, Google's self-navigating automobile program would be superfluous?
Ironic, as it was featured as a destination for the injured in Beantown yesterday... one of the many upbeat stories amid the carnage was the revelation by newscasters that the area has so many first rate medical facilities.
If you didn't do anything wrong, why then were you running?
I was on my way to pay those taxes...

Readers not astonished.

You can certainly understand the collective French nervousness regarding military secrets. Look what happened when that Maginot thing got out.

My kingdom for some mod points... and a horse.
Dice Holdings' reports from the field indicate some early success from "Operation Cull the Priggish".
