No, a tsunami is a longitudinal body wave in the horizontal displacement of the medium. An ordinary wave is a transverse surface wave in the height of the medium.
The height of an ordinary wave is most of the energy involved, no matter how deep the water. You cause them by blowing on the surface of your bathtub.
The height of a tsunami is only a tiny indication of the total energy involved; it's not even proportional when the depth is accounted for. It's like moving your entire bathtub back and forth.
A tsunami is very much a flow. First in, then out. The flowing observed on the shoreline for ordinary waves is just a degeneration of their circular surface motion.
That's why 5-meter waves are fun for surfing and impressive to stand and watch from the shore, but a 5-meter tsunami is a historical monster that you'd better run several kilometers inland to avoid.
There are fjords in Canada that show scarring hundreds of feet up one side from a tsunami caused when a big piece of the slope on the other side broke off and fell into the water, stripping everything loose (vegetation, rocks, dirt, etc.) on its way up the impact side. That's a tsunami that has enough energy.
"And if you don't work, tirelessly, to ensure that the erosion of civil liberties that was done in the name of stopping him is undone," then the effort put into causing his death will be for nothing.

We don't need a police state to catch people like him. He's not one of us, he's not wandering around in public. He built a special prison for himself and recused himself from humanity, except for hand-carried messages. And we identified and followed his courier back to his lair, and we accomplished this almost certainly by not checking his testicles for binary explosives whenever he needed to go somewhere.
If I don't have to monitor because I have massive overhead, then I'm paying too much for what I don't need.
Of course, that's the ISP's argument for metering in the first place. So I'm not falling for it.
I want as much bandwidth as the most modern technology allows. I paid for that when i first bought an "ultimate" plan and agreed to a big monthly bill, and I'd better fucking get it in perpetuity.
Should we teach C programmers about Assembly? Should we teach perl programmers about C? Should we teach SQL programmers about perl? Should we teach HTML programmers about SQL? Should we teach Drupal programmers about HTML? Should we teach anyone about the insides of the things they use?
Only if we teach Assembly programmers about opcodes, I guess.
>I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and just assume you know nothing about how a hospital runs.
That's not the benefit of the doubt, that's you projecting.
If they're paying an annual fee that gets broken out per month, then it doesn't matter at all how much they are or aren't sending to the cleaners. It's an annual fee. No counting necessary.
As for how hospitals are run, anything non-medical is handled by a separate contractor known generally as the "Hospitaler." They're basically the hotel-management side of the hospital. And despite the fact that most hospitals are really shitty if looked at as hotels, they bill about $600 a day, while the medical side bills $6,000 per day, which pays for the nurses, monitoring equipment, medical transport orderlies (those people who push you around in the wheelchair, yes?), IV changes, procedure schedulers, and the base rate for the attending physician for your ward. Any actual performance of doctoring by doctors is broken out separately, and any actual procedures are as well.
So I'll say that again: the part that's just about changing your towels and bringing you your meals and making sure your TV isn't shooting sparks into your heart monitor and running a crusty swiffer over the MRSA colonies on the grimy tile floor? They bill like the Ritz for that, on top of the but-it's-a-Hospital stuff.
When your economic ethics stretch that far, you stop even bothering to pay attention to your costs, because whether you overcharge for laundry by 900% or 950% is a detail that cuts into your beach time.
Encore Las Vegas. About an 11-star hotel. The only reason they'd coccoon the cart other than simple security would be because seeing all that stuff is just gauche.

You might want to read that Constitution again. Everyone in government, in this country, is a public servant.
I know judges, and especially Supreme Court justices, don't much care about that, but it was the point of the thing.
This one has to go over the judge's head.
Read my lips: "I paid for it".
Let them get their own.
I exaggerated. Just like you did.

All microwave ovens eventually become permeated with that aroma.

Didn't nailed it.
Predicted that such a change to our laws would be "intolerable".
Turns out, we tolerated it enough to give the GOP another 4 years in the White House, and even brought them back to the Congress in 2010.
Got to stop electing people willing to use the tools of politics to eliminate democracy.

I said, "unless you need to get logical about something." When the cops show up, that's time for all logic and no ambiguity.
They have an alternate grammar. Might as well be random grammar. You still understood it.
Huh. They've got TSMC 40 nm runs scheduled.
Build the right toy, and you could compete with the bigs on that.
Two words:

Who needs ASIC?
If it's done in an ASIC, it's almost certainly got an HDL model that has been run on Linux.
Wait. Are you saying that just because it's open source, it's fully documented? ...
Pardon me while I pick up my lung.
Fuck you is a plugin for eclipse. It won't do it natively. And it's a bitch to install. Do you really need eclipse to do that?

So you and he saved the taxpayers the price of an unnecessary new machine.

But does Adobe Flash support Lynx on 64-bit systems?
I didn't try it, but could someone who did confirm that it knows jack squat about energy?
A "5-meter" tsunami is going to go halfway up a 500-meter cliff if it retains enough energy.
Did you understand Yoda?
Grammar is not essential for communication, unless you need to get logical about something.
