sounds like a good business opportuntity to me. you can sell schools giant cotton balls with a sign on them saying "HYDROGEN ATOM - electron may or may not be in here somewhere"
The super gun was developed originally to take out satellite systems.
depends on which direction it was pointed. if the gun was pointed in the direction of Israel (west-ish), it would do no good as a means for getting something into orbit, as you'd be firing against the rotation of the earth. that's why rockets etc are always launched to go with the rotation, as it makes it *way* easier to get it up. i can't imagine what engineer would come up with that as a means to get anything close to orbit.
These are the very thoughts and sentiments that keep environmenatlism from being a real science. It's the science of the alarmist. "Shit! We don't know but why risk it?!"
yeah, but that's human nature. if your doctor tells you that you can make $500 as a guinea pig for a new kind of medicine that, by the way, may or may not give you horrible cancer in 10 years, you're going to think long and hard about it, right? and you're probably going to end up passing it up.
you can't blame people for taking the safer way out, especially when there are many options that could have been researched...
Even in the best case scenerio, where the patent system works exactly as designed, this new technology will be developed at a snail's pace until such a time as the patent expires and competing, unfettered interests can improve upon it. Of course, then that progress in turn will be brought back to a crawl once again, as patents on the improvements are granted, and so on, ad nauseum
um... that doesn't happen. you don't have to wait for the patent for invention A to expire before you discover an improvement. if i discover a patentable improvement for the 'tornado in a can' tomorrow, i can apply for a patent that day and get it, if the improvement involves an inventive step.
Hemos: Well, basically, I just copied the base we have now. Then, I added fins to lower wind resistance. And this racing stripe here I feel is pretty sharp.
to summarize the article, some guys in australia discovered by genetically modifying mousepox (pretty weak, like chicken pox) that they could turn it into a far, far deadlier virus which was pretty much immune to vaccines (!).
now, this kind of genetic modification isn't easy. but a vaccine-resistant strain of smallpox which kills somewhere up to 90% or so of people infected would really suck.
then again, maybe such a modification wouldn't work on smallpox like it does for mousepox. i hope.

that's because real news sources find out if it's true first. which Drudge obviously didn't do.
the free satellite channels you can pick up are pretty crappy.
i have two words for you: expiration date.
do you really think a lot of the crap we gave Saddam will last 15 years without some serious technology?
wow, you're really full of hate yourself, hyprocrite.
you've never dealt with dirty diapers before, have you?

now, that's a screen of a different color!
dirty baster? you sicko!
say what?
oh God, it burns! it burns! damn my fair skin!
she likes how they vibrate so much more than my other bikes.

check out the new LCOS RPTVs from Toshiba
there are also LCOS and CRT projectors that can resolve 1080 lines of vertical resolution.
my mom is awesome.
strange, no video games came up. some comics did tho.
i have 2, count 'em, 2 74 Vespa 20's (Rally models), and the best i ever got was 70 mph on the stock one.
now the one with the PM pipe and the Malossi kit got 80 mph, but it also got about 35 mpg.

'Alpha Complex'
but is it proactive?

Burns: Agreed. First prize!
actually, you can get the UXGA screen, you just have to customize your order.

what really scares the bejeezus outta me is modified smallpox.
