How about getting sued by a patent troll and releasing the supposedly infringing software as open source so people in countries without software patents can use it freely even if you lose the ability to use it yourself
That's the problem, the average six-pack Joe thinks Nuclear waste is as hot as the really nasty short-lived elements and as long lived as the low level long lived elements; never considering that the bulk of it is either extremely low level or uncontaminated at all. There's lots of FUD and over-regulation involved with anything even remotely nuclear. A granite counter top out of a nuclear facility lunch room probably has to go to a nuclear repository.
He was also proven correct by the fact that women in Vienna durring the 1850's were less likely to die of puerperal fever by giving birth in the street gutter amid the horse manure and urine than they were under a Doctor's care.
Not really. The facts are on the side of the pro-nuclear groups. We can SOLVE the nuclear waste issue by building more nuclear plants...
If we build a modern generation of feeder-breeder reactors that are something close the 97-99 times more efficient than the old breed and can consume previously generated nuclear waste as fuel.
no you can't, a breeder will not turn lab gloves into nuclear fuel. Most "Nuclear Waste" is really low level, high bulk materials; fly ash from a coal plant is probably more radioactive than most "Nuclear Waste" coming from a Nuclear facility.
I think we can almost take it for granted that current copyright policy is damaging to our cultural development That's because most right's holders have an intolerable sense of entitlement and really want protection in perpetuity. There is an implied contract with society and the right's holders, we provide you with a legal framework to protect your economic interest in creative works an in return the work passes into the public domain after a defined period of time. By extending the copyright period I feel my future compensation has been seized without being compensated for the loss, I paid my taxes what happened to just compensation?
I used to have a lot of fun with the 3D pop-ups we used for qualifications; my left eye is normal and my right is near-sighted so I quickly learned to shoot with both eyes open and could actually see the targets going up and down and the sights, where the one-eyed shooter couldn't. We had guys that shot all the time to the point where they would place at nationals on paper target, but they rarely qualified on the 3D pop-ups, I made good money shooting for them. On paper target I was about average. Our Battalion's M-60 MG team even won nationals one year.
My experience on the range is that the NATO 5.76mm round, used in the AR has a tendency for the tip of the ogive to flatten out into a spoon like shape on impact which would cause a lot of tumbling in the flesh or at least not having the entrance and exit wounds line up, this has been confirmed by both people in actual combat and by a wikipedia article 5.56x45mm NATO on the ammo. Comparing the 5.56, a high energy round to the 7.62 a high power round get religious fast like comparing EMACS to VIM or Windows to Linux. I've found the 5.56 to be rather accurate especially considering it is intended to maximize fire-power over accuracy, the limiting factor is my ability rather than the round's; the 7.62's accuracy far exceeds my accuracy and I've seen a 7.62 go through a 12 inch tree.
Years ago I was talking to a guy who was a civil war re-in-actor and he told me about traveling from Michigan to New York via Ontario. He pulled up to Canadian Customs and the agent asked him if he was bringing any weapons into Canada. He was kind of taken aback but answered" Well yes, there is a cannon on the trailer with 20 cannon balls and black power for ammunition" this was all in plain sight. The Customs agent then said "but no handguns or unregistered rifles or shotguns?" he replied "no. but I do have a saber in the trunk" to which the Customs agent replied Thank you have a nice trip."
Peter Lynch would disagree with you, even thuogh he was the was the portfolio manager of the Fidelity Magellan Fund from May 1977 to May 1990 - a period which the fund rose an astounding 28-fold per share - giving it the title of the best-performing mutual fund in the world at the time, he still said
the individual investor is more capable of making money from stocks than a fund manager, because they are able to spot good investments in their day-to-day lives before Wall Street. Investment philosophy
Quite simply keeping a portfolio containing a diverse assortment of risk levels and types such as stocks, bonds and commodities and making periodic adjustments to keep the percentages of each sane, your investments will do well over the long term. For example not to long ago the stock market was getting crazy high, selling off stocks and buying commodities like gold and platinum would have positioned you to ride their wave while their prices have tripled, again now that they are crazy high selling some and buying the now under-valued stocks back will position you to ride the recovery wave coming. This isn't rocket science. Oh sure it's hard to save enough to do this as an individual, but then again it's not hard to get a taxpayer ID for a local investment club; the advantage here is the club also gets to vote their stocks unlike your investment in a commercial mutual fund. Now you also have a say in the business practices and ethics of your "evil corporation"!
There is no choice when there's a great power asymmetry between labor and capital. Unions would be a great remedy,.
Actually the great equalizer is the ability of common people to buy and sell stocks and bonds, with greater utilization of 401K retirement programs the fate of the common worker is increasing tied to the very corporations you ascribe the power asymmetry too.
As I remember it from previous articles, City policy was he could only reveal those passwords to the Mayor, not to his supervisor, while in Jail he did in fact give the passwords to the Mayor at their first meeting. To be honest nobody has even questioned whether his supervisor even had hire/fire privileges, or if he was even technically fired.
That's the point, it's plausible that you can be partially immune to a flu strain and only get as sick as you'd expect from a cold and nobody would ever know unless you had expensive lab tests; likewise everybody calls a bad head-cold the flu. I notice when I've gotten my flu shot, I seem to miss out on two or three "cold" that people who don't get immunized get.
Uranium is an alpha emitter, outside the body it's radiation is harmless as the alpha particles have little penetration and can't effect living tissue, inside the body is the opposite, very hazardous because the radiation is completely absorbed by living tissue.
Are you referring to the ramming of a US E4 AWACS survailing the Chinese testing of the supercavitating torpedoes purchased from the Russian? Russia who then allowed the sailors aboard the Kirsk to sufficate rather than reviling they were training Chinese sailors to operate the supercavitating torpedoes?

Entonox is 50:50, but Nitrous Oxide USP is 98% or greater, typically Reagent or Industrial grades are purer than USP grade so Reagent/Industrial grades are also labeled USP, but not vica versa, it is normally cheaper to stock one item for both than to maintain two inventories. Welding Oxygen is also purer than Oxygen USP so the same applies. If I go to the dentist and he starts cracking N2O cartridges into balloons, I'm leaving!

I tried that once on my little brother, he actually got bigger from all of the bruises and swelling, and boy was my mom pissed.

you don't get much traction with racing slicks in the snow so you better strap a couple solid-fuel rocket boosters to the fuel tank to get going.

With a rifle that size, I'd worry more about people a half mile away, not in the same building; he was too far from Microsoft to have made that shot.

Actually a Mouse Pox virus was engineered to be so deadly and so virulent that the host would die even before it became contagious.

Actually I was thinking about MIG gas for stainless, can be a He/Ar mixture or even a He/Ar/CO2 mixture, not cutting balloon gas with Argon.
