If we're moving through a swirl of particles that can put some pressure on plates, how come out of two object traveling at different velocities through space, one of them doesn't experience more drag than the other from these virtual particles?
I heard a lecture from one astronomer who thought that third generation stars like our would be the first to have enough heavy metals to form rocky planets and therefore multicellular life. He thought it likely that we were among the first, but you only have to be late by a few hundreds of millions of years to find the Galaxy already colonized.
Right, just like you can arrest people before charging them. But you do have to charge them, and in a timely manner. This order does seem to be part of any legal process, just a tool for squashing people that get in the way.
"you" is just something your brain does. Asking where you go when your brain turns off is like asking where the spinning goes when the motor turns off.
I still don't see why the Slashdot crowd cares one way or the other about the length of copyright terms, apart from it providing an opportunity to post generic anti-copyright rambling without being moderated offtopic.
As a nerd, I want lots of interpretations of Tolkein in film, not just the occasional big budget extravaganza that has pay for the approval of Tolkein's sons.
Anybody else remember when this got out? This video was broadcast live during a classroom discussion that included shuttle astronauts. It made the national news at the time and AFAIK is legit. I think NASA stopped doing live broadcasts of exernal video after this.
I'm pretty sure the panning and zooming were added by the Youtuber, but the actions of the UFO in the picture are exactly as I remember from the news clips.
Now if there were some concrete proof that they knowingly discarded all conflicting evidence and fabricated their own in a deliberate attempt to force the country into a war they knew was unnecessary, there might be a case.
You think the burden of proof when it comes to aggressive war should be on those who *don't* want to start one?
That those who did start it can get away with it as long as they can plausibly deny they knew all the evidence that we still haven't seen never existed?
Most people who are angered by this commutation probably think that burning a CIA agent, here front company and all their assets to push back on criticism of a dishonest case for war is a high crime, even if Fitzgerald won't prosecute, and even if Libby wasn't the only one, or even the main one to do it.
The end result seems to be that Libby was put forth as the sacrificial goat that was going to take on all the sins of the Bush administration. Like I said above, that does not seem "just" to me.
I agree, but Libby could have told the truth.
And Libby's career is far from over. In 2009 he will be pardoned.
I sincerely hope not. FWIW, had THAT happened today, I'd be screaming as loudly as anyone else.
Pretty ordinary sentence from all accounts, plus the punishment for obstruction should approximate the punishment for the underlying crime, or there is no incentive not to obstruct.
But my point isn't a legal one: He did reveal the status of an undercover agent who was tasked with keeping nukes out of Iraq and Iran, blowing the CIA front corporation, before it was published, and he did on many occasions confirm her status after it was published. This isn't acceptable in a public servant. Throughout, he has been shielded by the Whitehouse, despite the President's promise not to do so.

if you want to stamp out religion you can't do it through converting the already infected.
The Mormon Church, home of the best breeders, is losing membership.
And why would two objects moving at different velocities in a soup experience equal thrusts on all sides?

We are the precursors.

...only 9 more toes to go!
Saddam's army fell
I missed the part where his army surrendered, laid down their weapons and went home instead of hiding out and planting bombs for US troops.
Obviously pretty bad.
In any game without perfect information, there is no perfect game. If the hidden information is random, there may be an optimum strategy.
That's where the rotational momentum goes, but where does the spinning go?
Rybread Celsius. Can't find a decent link, but he's author of several IF games that may be counterexamples.

They have a chance not to be slaughtered by the other guy, and they're taking it. Smart. Not nice, but smart.

In Soviet Russia, old jokes revive you!
The British noticed this in the Falklands where marines were left critically wounded for hours but survived.
I wouldn't leap to such a conclusion

I can believe that, but what caused the sudden acceleration?

Electrostatic orbital launchers: only available at night during spring and fall.
Another solution is to develop some kind of long distance power transfer so that load can be evened out over the entire planet.

Fairly low bar for the leaders of the free world.

We must not let them retire to the easy life of private sector profiteering they think they have to look forward to, the life that Bush Sr. enjoys.
Considering what Bush Sr. got away with, the precedent has already been set.
Don't forget the Iran-Contra pardons, many of whom have served in the current administration.
