How about you show some statistics on the number of times CCW holders have escalated situations into becoming vastly more deadly, as you apparently assert they always inevitably do?
I honestly found Deepness to be a little too bleak for my tastes, and I love Vinge's stuff; but that's just me. I'd rather suggest A Fire Upon The Deep, or the Realtime series.
Hydrogen at sea-level rises due to buoyancy, because hydrogen molecules don't move at escape velocity at the surface of the Earth. Once it rises high enough into the atmosphere, and as the atmosphere grows warmer in its upper regions, then escape velocity considerations come into play.
Hydrogen in the atmosphere does not 'fall up'. It's pushed up; it's called buoyancy. Hydrogen molecules at sea level are on average moving at less than 1/4 of Earth's surface escape velocity.
And do you honestly think that these physicists are going to be so stupid as to not do their antimatter experiments in a vacuum? That's about the only conditions where you could measure the rate of fall of individual atoms.
While it was publicly accessible, I don't believe it was a public tracker, in that users other than Revision 3 staff should not have been able to upload new torrents to it; unless my understanding of the situation is completely off.
Getting caught doing something illegal simply earns them monetary fines, which -- unless crippling -- are simply cost of doing business, which their customers end up paying for anyway.
If you have a spherical collection of particles randomly orbiting an object, collisions between particles tend to average out their angular momentum, eventually concentrating them into a thin disk. The oblateness of the rotating primary about which they orbit tends to force that ring into alignment with the primary's equator.
So you've got a small reactor with reactor-grade enriched uranium in it. Just exactly how is some hick with his pick-up truck supposed to enrich that material into something that can be used in a bomb?
You can't just pack a bunch of explosives around a nuclear reactor and expect to get a nuclear bomb. And even the 'dirty bomb' scenario has been shown to be a pointless tactic.
Sun-blocking? There are orbits around the Earth that never wind up between the Sun and the Earth, you know. Any anyone who's played SimCity knows how awesome space-based microwave power is!
I think they might be referring to the energy released at the end if the inflationary period being a source of new matter. That's one variation on inflation, where the universe actually started relatively cold and empty, but the energy of inflation gets converted to matter once inflation ceases.

Ew, no.

They better pray they don't leave one bit of evidence that they wiped it, though, or it's an automatic admission of guilt (IIRC).

Ah, the Ginsberg Restatement.
The meaning of the word 'theory' differs wildly between the colloquial usage and the much more rigid definition used by science.
If you have a spherical collection of particles randomly orbiting an object, collisions between particles tend to average out their angular momentum, eventually concentrating them into a thin disk. The oblateness of the rotating primary about which they orbit tends to force that ring into alignment with the primary's equator.
Common carrier status doesn't apply to them, already. People above have already commented on this.
"but for the purposes of a foot race, he's mechanically enhanced."
So is everyone else competing. They're wearing shoes.
"Parasitic" wasps aren't parasites: they're parasitoids. True parasites do not kill their hosts (or at least try not to).

Actually, don't try to put out -any- metal fire with water.
Er, make that 7 times, my bad.
From our point of view, it would decay 10 times slower.
They had a Breakout clone during the level loading back on the old Major Havoc arcade machine...
Boy, are you guys getting scammed, then. At least up here in Canada, we pay the levy and get to download at will...
Not if no court will hear your case, you won't.

I could be wrong, but 'mineral' is generally used to refer to a pure, inorganic substance, while 'rock' is used to refer to a mixture of minerals, no?
