(troll) I do wonder if the US will buy the oil from these countries or just invade and take it. I mean if the oil in the US runs out it must be considered a legal reason to start a new war right? I mean running cars on ethanol isn't cool at all. Duh!
>Growth of any living organism is ultimately limited by the growth requirement in shortest supply.
in most cases this is true. but: By increasing the partial pressure of co2, the photorespiration can be lowered and thereby increasing the photosynthesis efficiency. This will produce more biomass -> more algee.
...didn't have the time to read the article but anyways....
Every greenhouse grower is aware of the fact that carbon dioxied can be used as fertilizer in some cases.
If carbon dioxide is solved in the sea this will probably act as fertilizer for carbon fixing algees (the ones that produce all the oxygen for us). This will probably mean more algees in the oceans.
Problem is that if we get to much algees near the coastline (where all the emitted carbon dioxide is) we might get problems like anaerobic conditions on the sea ground (created by dead algee degrading on the the sea ground)
this will result in: * dead fishes * corals, bye bye. * a lot of trouble
(same thing happends if we flush out to much phosphates and other nutrients from industries, agriculture and cities.) I nice (bad) example of this is the baltic sea witch has low waterexchange to the rest of the world sea. Surrounded by Russia, the baltic countries, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden (YES! we went to the playoffs) and Finland. Result: Dead sea ground,

BUSH: -Any country except the US trying to land on mars will be counted as terrorists. Therefore all countries that not wish to become US enemies must act together against terrorism and protect the US by killing everyone that do not comply. -------------------
At this time this is a joke, but for people outside the US, Bush Junior sounds like this.

When used with a NT-terminal server running citrix you can run m$ progs as well. (funny thing, M$ licence is payed per installed mashine -> 200 sunrays + citrix servers -> 4 university licences of msoffice or so.) As long as the NT-machines are powerful they can handle 20-30 word sessions or so...
Biggest advantage with the surays are actually the workers environment. Sunrays produce very little heat and no sound at all (no fan, harddrives etc...).
The internal speaker sux but with headphones or external speakers the sound is ok..
Somewhat slow screen update times when running cruel stuff like full screen video or image manip. (even with 100Mbit FullD)
They also (at least for us) come with a 5 year guarantee. (some of the sunrays have overheat problems and burn out).

The most interesting thing about vasa is biological.
Due to the lack of shipworm in the baltic sea and the anaerobic environment where the ship sunk, the Vasa was very well preserved after 350 years in the sea.
As the bronze cannons were very valuable, most of them where salvaged during the years after the ship sunk.
Even if some of the captured combatants might be terrorist you can't know until you've interrigated them. Therefore you must treat them according to Gen. conv. because some might be legal combatants (as the taliban soldiers, some have probably have been forced into the army by the way)...
Even IF all captured soldiers ARE ILLEGAL combatants, that is no reason, not treating them according to geneva convention.
That is a matter of treating people in a humane way.
I don't say they are treated inhumane (i don't know if they are..). But what is the reason for the US NOT to treat them as prisoners of war???
The US still have to follow the UN act of human rights, but how can the rest of the world KNOW?
Bush's forign politics clearly shows the rest of the world that US do what's best for the US, not for the world. (Take Kyoto, Cape town etc.)
In Sweden, three men have been pointed out as terrorists by the US. The US have not shown any evidence of it but the have put them on the "UN ban list". All their assets have been frozen. One of the men is actually a well-respected candidate for the election to the swedish parliament.
example dialouge.....
The US says:
- He is a terrorist, punish him!
answer:
- Ok, but then, show us some evidence!
US:
- We don't have to! He is a terrorist.
answer:
- We can't punish someone without a trial and evidence.
US: - He is a terrorist, no trial is neccessary.
Makes one scared, doesn't it?
How can we trust the US when they act without trust?
ok... the piston-method might not detonate the mine but in a lot of cases, landmines have some sort of quicksilver-trigger to make it boobytrapped.
Hitting such a mine will surely detonate it.
(if speed 3 m/s)
More sofisticated anti-tank mines, with magnetic field response etc, buried deep down will be quite hard to hit with the piston.
Why detonate the mine when you can put it on fire without any explosion.
Most explosives can burn without exploding.
A simple burning bullet might do the trick.
The problem is often not disarming the mine but finding it.
For those having very few friends.

I've heard something about a helium isotop thats pretty interesting for fusion power research..
On earth this isotop is very rare.
The moon on the other hand is supposed to contain more of this type of helium.
So... building mines on the moon might be one task to do...
Have anybody else heard about this, or do I remember wrong?

Go to moon and check out IF the US went there or not... Could be fun if they didn't.
What shall we then belive in?

when do they calculate a satelite as "dead".
when loosing contact?
So if someone hijacks a satelite (with a satelite dish, a radio transmitter and a powerful computer)
How do the owners know if it was hacked or killed?
Maybe there are some old but alive hacked sats out there......
..... Maybe I CONTROL THEM... MUhuhahhahaa...
