If you really wanted to be accurate, you couldn't model the earth as a sphere, since it isn't perfectly homogeneous. The building itself would alter gravity slightly.
So I guess contaminating about a block of NYC would be only minor?
Yes. The standards of "contamination" used by these agencies is extremely strict. The difference between a surface that is "contaminated" and one that actually presents a real health risk to someone is about 3 or 4 orders of magnitude.
Just to "prove a point"? What does that even mean?
I mean sunni terrorists blowing up sunni marketplaces just because they want the US to look bad. Because a successful market doesn't make the occupation look horrible, the terrorists destroy it.
The leader who put them in harm's way for a lie is also responsible.
Absolutely. On the other hand, making the leap from the responsibility of command to treason is a little too far of a leap.
From a historical perspective this war is has an amazingly low number of casualties. It's no comfort to the families of dead troops however. With 24/7 TV coverage of Iraq, the public is being exposed more closely to war than ever in history. It's really easy to make emotional judgments based on the sight of dead bodies, but that might be counterproductive in the long run.
Who actually killed those troops? You are blaming Bush, but he didn't kill them. Blaming the president takes away the responsibility from the people who actually planted the roadside bombs and blew themselves up.
I will agree that this war was horribly mismanaged, but that's not the same thing as saying it never should have been fought in the first place.
Not to mention that comparing our president (like him or not) to people who will blow up marketplaces full of innocent people on their own side just to prove a point is disgraceful.
How about only sending data to the user, he/she actually needs. This fixes the seeing through the wall problem.
Maybe it would work better to send the client more data than it actually needs, then only informing it which data is valid at the last possible moment. Even if you can see through walls, you don't know which players you are seeing are real and which are fake.
Health Care is expensive, in part, because it's chronically understaffed due to professional-school elitism by the AMA and the Nurse's unions.
Or maybe it's unhealthy because it's trying to fix things the hard way. How much money would be saved if people would stop eating junk food, and maybe ride a bicycle a few times a week? Trying to treat diabetes with drugs is like driving a nail with a pair of pliers. Billions of dollars to treat a disease that is largely preventable.
Ah, the old debate: is Zonk stupid or clever? Does he write lame headlines because he doesn't know any better or because it attracts attention? Is he Zippy the Pinhead or Bill O'Reilly?
Personally, I happen to think that Bill O'Reilly is Zippy the Pinhead, so it's a moot point.
So you're saying "Zonk" is Bill O'Reilly's online pseudonym?
Did anyone else notice that the summary consists of several only slightly-related facts about the NSA, and only the first one really matches the headline?
Had I used RAID5, I would have 1,500 GB and it would not have been easy to upgrade. I have ran out of room and I am adding a couple of 750 GB drives. If you use a linux server and LVM, losing one drives loses everything.
That's why you use hardware RAID. A good card will allow you to swap out drives and rebuild, or add new drives to the array, without ever needing to unmount the anything.

You might make up the difference with better efficiency.
Yes. The standards of "contamination" used by these agencies is extremely strict. The difference between a surface that is "contaminated" and one that actually presents a real health risk to someone is about 3 or 4 orders of magnitude.
two drums and a cymbal fall off a cliff...

It's not like I'm happy about all those deaths.
But I see a problem with your reasoning.

You would be very surprised how difficult this is in practice
(substitute forklift, crane, another moving machine as applicable)
And perhaps that is worst than being without her?
Who knows?
That explains so much.
You're missing the point of this headline, which is to generate page views, not to be accurate.

So modern motherboards will let you hot-swap drives? I admit I've never tried it, but it seems unlikely.
aren't 1 and 2 really the same photon? Isn't that what entanglement is, when one photon pretends to be two oppositely spinning photons?
3ware made some pretty good cards.
You're only half wrong.
