Anyway In way the soldiers (and marines since the subject was Navy) first task is to prevent the enemy killing him. If that can be accpmlished by disabling the enemy, then thats OK, but shooting him in the leg may not prevent him from firing back. A head shot may miss (unless the soldier is a marksman or sniper) so a center body shot (ie chest) is preferable, even if its not fatal immediately its more likely to render the enemy incapable of fighting. At least with a 30-06 round, the.223 used in 'Nam and later is less reliable.
"The vast majority of oil is shipped by pipeline or boat. The amount shipped by rail and truck is very small. It's only been used recently because of environmental opposition to pipelines. We're talking a few percent of what's shipped by pipeline or boat."
The pipeline is intended to carry canadian tar sand crude down to the refineries in the gulf, thats why it crosses the canadian border (and has been put on hold by the state dept.
Piping all this oil down to the gulf is stupid They should refine it in North Dakota where there is lots of oil, and also natural gas to power the refinery

However other countries (besides the USA) don't have the same "never mind the financial crisis, we can't cut defense spending" attitude. You'll probably find those orders cut back as the price goes up.

Well, we all do. Its that bright ball of fire in the sky. It will keep going for another billion years or more, you just have to collect the radiated energy.
I remember hearing an anecdote about the SR71 Blackbird A Blackbird is entering commercial airspace over CA Pilot requests Flight level 70 (thousand Feet) Controller laughs. If you can reach it you're welcome to it. Blackbird pilot replies "descending from flight level 100"
Of couirse it may be an urban legend. But the SR71 could go that high

I thought we were heading into summer (in the northern hemisphere, where Mozilla and most universities are located)
Do they know something we don't?

I understand the £ British pound sterling, I don't get why they have a  symbol before it. Is that an Ancient letter (part of a STÂRGÅTE address?)

I guess we are stuck with immobile wallets then.
The only thing I know about Bellingham, WA is that was where they built the Michael , the ship that defeated the Fithp
They pretty much know where it is, they just can't get it back.
As opposed to MH370, which nobody knows where TF it is.

"The vast majority of oil is shipped by pipeline or boat. The amount shipped by rail and truck is very small. It's only been used recently because of environmental opposition to pipelines. We're talking a few percent of what's shipped by pipeline or boat."
So why don't they ship this oil by boat then?

Maybe with that money they will buy a natural gas electrical generator.
"First you end support for XP, which is a good thing, then you end support for Windows 7 in 2020, now you are ending support for Windows 8 on May 8"
I guess MS realises that businesses are upgrading to Win 7, not 8
So when is Win 9 due out?

CO2 is a greenhouse gas, it aborbs infra red that would otherwise escape.
"3.6% of that 1% is CO2"
Its up to 400ppm now, so that should read 4% of that 1% is CO2
So thats a 10% increase in a couple of decades
How would you like a 10% increase in temperature
Note that we would have to use an absolute temperature scale, not some arbitrary 0 like C or F
So an overnight temp of freezing (32f) would become about 80F
and a daytime temp of 71F would become 124F or so
