Kyosuke you're assuming they would all hit at the same time...which would be the equivelant mass-energy striking us. The altered trajectories would result in them hitting us at different times. So they would burn up with a wimper instead of a bang.
I'm sure you know I was just trying to be a dick:D. You did say THROUGH the outer core implying we were in the inner core or beyond though. Unfortunately the textbooks in middle school (the last time anything geology related is mentioned) show an illustration of the crust as solid rock, the mantle as solid magma, the outer core as dense magma, and the inner core as solid iron. Damn you public school system you've failed me again.
Part of the problem (part!) Is the ability for blatantly guilty criminals to get off. So in the past theh HAD to stack charges to get a conviction. See John Gotti Sr a la "the teflon don." He was blatantly guilty, used witness intimidation and threats, and was a horrible human being overall. It still took 4 trials. Or vinny the chin, or any number of mobsters. Sure they committed far worse crimes, but the fundamental problem was the same. To be fair I have no idea how to balance it.
Giving judges Cross-jurisdiction merging of cases could fix this. That way a "crime spree" is treated as a crime spree. I believe the judge cannot even take into account the cases from other jurisdictions. It would also prevent this type of prosecution abuse. Unfortunately it may mean witnesses have to make rather long trips.
How exactly would that benefit us economically? Do you know how many G-Code recipes or die-designs I've gotten from chinese companies (yes sending work TO the US) that had microns on them? Something like 3 out of ~140. A lot of countries selectively use the imperial system in circumstances where it makes sense. There aren't that many, but they are out there. Thousandths of an inch are so embedded into fabrication (excluding semiconductor fabrication I'd imagine) that it would be impossible to use anything else.
Why would you actually WANT government to go out of it's way to take away choices from private businesses? Would I be allowed to use inches internally? Would I have to convert every single dimension on a print before putting the dimensions into my CNC? After the company who prototyped it did it in thousandths and converted it into microns just for the print? Then I get to convert 100s (or 1000s) of dimensions back into thousandths (what is what was originally pulled from the recipe.)
Are you familiar with a little thing called "hardware limitation?" In addition most control packages in use in fabrication do NOT give you a choice. Things that are somewhat important like light curtains from keeping people from getting their arms cut off. Also die protection, and the like. The reason behind this is simple: most small shops use circa 1970 hardware. A high quality wintriss clutch control from 20 years ago (which is highly reliable, and works great) might cost $12,000. A modern one might cost $30,000. The only drawback is lack of configuration.....
I agree that it would be great if everyone switched over to metric. Little by little that IS happening. However, to mandate that would simply FURTHER erode America's manufacturing industry. It wouldn't be the only industry hurt. I'm sure cooks wouldn't be particularly happy about that. I guess it depends on how far you carry it. Frankly there just isn't enough reason to justify taking that choice (no matter how minor) away from private businesses.
Why do you want to grow government control? I'll never understand that particular agenda.
I enjoyed your post thoroughly especially the GIMP joke! Also it's rather informative. I'm glad Ubuntu can be put on an ARM tablet, as that actually makes me consider getting one. However most employers aren't going to want to spend the labor-hours training it's workers on a new platform.
For IT workers that is pretty awesome though. I think I just got pissy over that guy saying x86 is a useless pile of crap. I don't really remember.
"Why'd you guys kill the animals?" "Because they were in cages, and a caged animal suffers. We couldn't let them suffer." "Who put them in the cages?" "Oh we did" "...."
Useless for what you do. The second performance...not performance per watt...PERFORMANCE becomes an issue..ARM is a steaming pile of shit and you know it. If you're doing anything more than what the above AC said (keep playing soduku, and portal) it can't handle it. How about everyday consumers who need a tablet that can actually do work? A gimp version of windows is not going to get the job done. Some of the Samsung Slate tablets however come with an x86...and are actually fully functional! Can you point to an ARM tablet that can do everything it can? Or any other x86 tablet for that matter?
I know it's not about the software. However, unfortunately, sometimes raw productivity is all that matters. Sometimes the latest windows RT garbage dump or iOS xyz isn't going to hold water. The fact of the matter is the software that will run on a system defines how productive that device is going to be. Me and you might be able to put a proper operating system on one of these...but your whole company? Hell no.
Am I the only one who thinks the administrations responseÂis perfectly reasonable? Let the local gov decide based on its constituent's views. Mandatin g it for private industry would be a disaster.
Yes the market has no morals. Yes it's exploitive...an d? So is capitalism, but it's the best systwm we've got. If you own a resource you should own it. Period. Shut up about your subjective moral drivel.
This is a citation for failure to recognize a joke or troll. This is only a warning. However, future violations will result in immediate sterilization.

But if you work in IT houston seems to have all the good jobs. Its also a cross between a swamp and an oven.
Heh kind of ironic that the (valid) reason for low sat scores in Texas is cultural nias.
As a Texan our education system is the one thing I'm not a big fan of. That and the goddamn heat/humidity.

Doesn't the mantle hold most of the magma? If we're in the inner core aren't we in solid metal?

I'm egocentric, so I assume my posts are perfect without looking them over.

It wouldn't let me put in just a heart so...yeah archer is fucking hysterical.
Silicon can't talk? My cross platform text-to-speak function begs to differ.
That first sentence was supposed to be posted on another article...but you can't edit or delete on slashdot which is pretty awful.

This. And the above

That's called "a smart investment." That's irrelevent anyways since the site's sole purpose has been advancing Paul's agenda and campaign...

Hehe. This genuinely made me lol.

So if its "new" does it remove market depracation?
