Heh I'm sure it's destined to land right on top of the Extra Ultra Large Hadron Collider - on the day they find some particle for messing with time. By then, the impact zone will be predicted, and the facility will be abandoned, just for the creation of the time particle to be wiped out.
But sure, why not, perchlorates for everyone!.... looks like the US Senate is trying to keep up the thyroid related illness rates in Florida as well.
Good timing to do so really - considering the world-wide shortage of medical isotopes that would likely be used to diagnose and/or treat such problems. Not even socialized health care can solve that problem.
Well he's the chemical safety guy at my workplace. I wear all the PPE cause I'm new. The cryo-gloves can only handle the liquid helium ejecting from the dewars for about 30 seconds before I start to feel it. That's all I can say on the subject.
Anyone that listens to recorded music, including ICP fans, depend on people who understand magnets.
Now magnetic monopoles... that's a whole different game.
I'm curious as to what triggered this attack on scientists. Something has to be up... I'm kind of surprised ICP is lashing out like this. I'm thinking it's from the shots scientists have been taking on their belief of God.
I just like how the article starts with "American geologists working with the Pentagon have discovered..." while it should read "American geologists have known all along..."
I'm sure someone's pattern recognition algorithm for analyzing satellite hyperspectral data would've picked up at least a bit of that lithium if those deposits are so vast.
Uuh he didn't say a damn thing. The article depends on what David Kirkpatrick says, and all the article says is "Zuckerberg wants to change the world!" and "He's not in it for the money!".
The article is just a plug for the book, that's it.
Uhh Obama wasn't even singling anyone out in particular when mentioning media truth. He just said "some of which don't always rank all that high on the truth meter," - no mention of alphabet-soup media or anything like that.
You can't call anyone names when you aren't even talking about someone in particular. It was a very broad brush, I think the phrase "don't always believe what you read" applies to what he was saying.
" I did both frequently and willingly before the post-11/9 intrusions, and loved going to the US. But I think in the long run it'll help both my country and yours if I make a stand, as long as others follow."
Yeah it won't make a difference, so you better get used to it. All the people doing business usually have no choice but to travel by air or to America. They'll basically be the reason why all of this won't change.
With all these military things going unmanned, I would argue the benefit should be... reduced war weariness? Since losses of unmanned vehicles means less of your own people dying.
Airborne laser would be cool to have, Missile defense systems, something a little less - non-existent - like the orbital laser thing? wtf?
More space based warfare would be interesting, specifically having to make spy satellites, undermine foreign efforts in trying to make the same. Orbital nukes. UN treaties banning these things. Then being able to violate the treaty.:-)
I think a really cool feature would be adding The Political Compass to mark your nation-state's socio-political disposition. And your position on that graph would change, in addition to your opponents, depending on the decisions you make.:-)
Kaczynski also blamed the same groups of people for society's ills. Then again, Ted pretty much blamed all of society for just letting capitalism run amok. However, his ideology comes down to anarcho-primitivism, but even among leftist anarchists it's controversial, particularly Ted's views on feminism.
meh, just checked to see if the near-by university's library has any of his works... results show zero. Maybe another day I'll get to read this... heh however some people are selling used copies for $0.01.
You too can own your own Electronic Personal Dosimeter for the low low price of $900. Good luck putting it inside your body where the tumour they're going to give a radiation dose is located. I think it just might get in the way of the beam then.
But yeah - as phantomcircuit mentioned - the detectors were ignored.
Well - sounds better than the magic wand the Iraqis are using.
Even so - the millimeter wave approach would probably identify any wiring or fuses that are secondary to the explosives in the crotch. In the end though, the only real solution is full body X-ray scans.
Maybe they can offer the option to send the scan to your Doctor's office if requested. Probably catch all sorts of undiagnosed medical problems for every person who gets on a plane. You're probably going to get a similar dose on a high altitude flight anyway...
The idea of having a huge database of full body x-ray scans could be a medical researchers dream. I'd start with making a visual recognition system for tumours, pneumonia, spinal issues - the results could be pretty awesome.
X-ray densities just need to be kept really low, and with modern digital detectors, it's likely to be easily achieved.
Yeah, because procreation has always had it's roots in science and planning. It never had anything to do with the human need for sex, or love...
I think I would rather have children, and a relationship with women who had some sort of emotional or sexual attachment than some government/corporate planned mating program.
Talk about killing the idea of romance, and courtship. I know that might be beyond some of our online community's comprehension, but forcing the concept onto a society is definitely Nazi-like. If this becomes a social norm, and democratic societies decide that this is the best way forward, then I'll likely be leaving any country that adheres to this idea.
As funny as movies such as Idiocracy maybe to online communities like ours, any douchebag that truly buys into the concepts of forced breeding plans will probably be rejected by women in general. I have enough faith in people to completely reject any such principles, unless this was forced upon them.
-- Come on, they knew about the speed of light back then. This would be a pretty desperate means of communications. But sure, it seems that nothing is beyond the US military to explore...
I would assume the people who conduct the research on the effectiveness of vaccines would take into account exceptions such as "more healthy people received the vaccine than non-healthy" when making their models.
Maybe I'm just being terribly naive about this, but there are plenty of smart people in the world who work in industry, and would probably be particularly picky about making sure their models are statistically sound as possible.
I thought the reason we have safety standards in many industries is due to insurance companies demanding these things?
Where were the health insurance companies trying to recoup their losses in these cases?
Maybe there would be no need for health insurance reform if the insurance companies pursued the interests of their clients more proactively.
"We have clients who are addicted to cigarettes, we know they'll have more health problems because of it, let's take the tobacco companies to court: collectively, with other insurance companies."

Step 1: Buy radios
Step 2: Sell radios to police.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit!
Just switch to LED grow lamps already.
They also produce a fuck load of pollution.

I particularly like the design that involves detonating a series of nukes to escape Earth's gravity well.

So live theater is not art because actors cannot have the EXACT same performance every single time - nor do they necessarily want to.
There are moving pieces of art at exhibits around the world. Is that no longer art?
The story is linear in many games - just because Roger Ebert can't make Mario jump past the first hole doesn't make Super Mario Bros not art.
Yeah, I agree with the lack of future techs.

Wow - that almost reads like Ted's manifesto.

The amount of ethylene glycol in anti-freeze makes it unrealistic to change the flavour considerably without altering the anti-freezing properties.
Make sure you wear a shirt like this just to show your Capitalist devotion to Communism.

I'm talking about Mars.
And it takes 10 or 20 minutes one way. So x2 if the point is to bounce the signal off Mars for Earth communications.
The conversation went sort of like this:
"Hi"
40 minutes passes
"Hey"
40 minutes passes
"Wow this works"
40 minutes passes
"Cool"
40 minutes passes
"Ok, I'm just going to call you now, k?"
40 minutes passes
"Ok"

Just wait til the Super Dimensional Fortress crash lands on Earth. Then the shit storm will fly.
