  1. Re:overpopulation on Hubble Upgraded; NASA's Future Not So Bright · · Score: 1

    The problem is not overpopulation it is a lack of education and generosity. You can fit everyone in the entire world in Rhode Island.

    World Population: 6,210,804,902 (US Census, 11Mar02)

    RI Sq Miles: 1045 (US Census)

    1045 Sq Miles = 29,132,928,000 Sq Feet (5280^2*1045)

    Each person would get 4.69 Sq Feet each, or a 2.17 by 2.17 foot area.

    It would be tight but EVERY person in the world can fit in RI. This world can support many more people. It is our lack of education and educating others and our lack of compassion and generosity to others that causes the problem.

    p.s.
    US Sq Miles = 3,537,441 (US Census)
    Everyone would get 1/3acre each in the US.

  2. Re:Hubble Produces No Science on Hubble Upgraded; NASA's Future Not So Bright · · Score: 1
    It is pretty plain that you don't understand the process of how proposals are handled. It isn't NASA that judges proposals or grants time on the Hubble. It is the Space Telescope Science Institute. A group of international scientists not government bureaucrats.


    A little sour grapes, perhaps? Don't become bitter, use the energy to bolster your proposal writting skills.

  3. Re:Take them all. on Microsoft Promotions Turn Up in USPS Offices · · Score: 1

    A fun thing to do is place the CD in your microwave. Get a paper cup or something to place it on so that it is in the middle of the microwave. Now run the microwave for only 3-5 seconds. It is fun to watch and makes a cool pattern.

  4. Internet... Good or Evil? on Dark Hearts And The Net · · Score: 1
    The internet in of itself is not good nor evil. Technology in its various forms are a tool that can bring about great good if used for good. But it can also be used for evil. (your can come to your own definition of good and evil for yourself.) IF technology is used poorly results described by articles below can happen:

    APA Journal

    AAP Web Site

    Joint Statement on the Impact of Entertainment Violence on Children

    These results are not the fault of the technology but the fault of thoes who use it. Gov. Bush may be using incorrect wording and blaming the internet, but there is a strong correlation between some internet content and the dark harts spoken of. If the media had no effect on anyone why do advertizers spend billion of dollars on ads?
