Actually, I think the Bloq are probably the best of the bunch.
I think you should be aware that the Bloc says that the "3 copyright infringement claims and you're off the internet" is too lenient, they think 2 complaints should be enough to have someone cut off. They think that schools shouldn't get a rebate when using copyrighted work for educational purposes, and they think that money should be taken from all sales of devices capable of storing music and given to the industry.
The bloc's position on copyright is: Whatever the industry want, we give.
I'd read that the hydrogen explosion came from the zirconium casing being oxidized, which led me to think that the containment was failing hard. Your explanation for that hydrogen sounds less dramatic.
If they fail for long enough, the core will start to go into meltdown.
That's the thing: the plant keeps leaking hydrogen and exploding here and there, the grid is down, there's still aftershocks happening, the plant has been leaking radioactive material already and if things keep going wrong, once the rods start melting what's to say the container won't crack and spray out the molten fuel?
I mean: I hope the worse is behind them, but it just seems like things are failing one after the other, and I don't share this optimism of yours about the safeguards needed to prevent the worse case scenarios.
"until someone dug it up" refers to the period up to the digging, which includes the antiquity.
No, you're putting words in my mouth: That's how you're pompous.
the simple fact that I stated is that scholars never doubted the existence of Troy. This is the exact opposite to the Atlantis which scholars know is fictional.
You want scholars? You're ignorant of the writings of Blaise fucking Pascal, you authority-seeking bitch:
I DEMAND to be paid every time I hear music I don't like. Every time some teenybopper comes on a radio within my hearing range (at the store, for example) I should get two dollars: For my pain and suffering.
Last I heard, it was the accidental but unsympathetic killing of a journalist
Last you heard, huh? Is it a lot of effort to keep yourself ignorant?
That was two journalist, a bunch of civilians, and the maiming of two children. Not "one journalist". That was a war crime using armor-piercing rounds to slaughter civilians, journalists and children.
"No big deal". To you. Because you don't care, and because you'll excuse anything, so long as you think it can benefit you. Gotta keep that oil flowing, don't cares about the blood.
RTFA. This was more than looking up voting records. They were targeting their fellow Americans with techniques designed specifically for use against the enemy, which is prohibited by law for good reason. It's no different than if a soldier pointed his rifle at a visiting politician and said, "Senator, vote for the new defense appropriations bill or I'll blow your head off."
Hyperbole, much?
FTFA: According to experts on intelligence policy, asking a psy-ops team to direct its expertise against visiting dignitaries would be like the president asking the CIA to put together background dossiers on congressional opponents.
Comedian OTOH was ambiguous enough to be universally adored by the circle of my friends...
I think of the Comedian as what would the Joker be like if he, for a laugh, had convinced Batman that he was a hero instead of a villain. "No, look, I beat up bad guys, see, I'm one of you heroes..."
That depends on whether you evaluate it as an adaptation of the comic or on its own merits, of course. Having not read the comic (and having no desire to, for that matter), I evaluated the movie simply as a movie, and in that regard I thought it was excellent.
In the book the Big Plot at the end was about a million times more over-the-top and super-villainy. It focused humanity's fears towards an alien menace, whereas in the movie it focuses the anger towards the superhero. Also the giant green cunt balanced out the giant blue dick.
I prefer the book's craziness, but I can see why they shied away from it.
Slashdot Mirror
I don't know enough about astrophysics to know how much carbon gets released in supernovae, but he apparently does.
He says the earth is made mostly of carbon... maybe he misspoke, but if he meant it, he's way off. Carbon is less than 1% of the makeup of the Earth.
P.S. If you want to learn about why we're sure heavy atoms come from exploded stars, go read about the element Technetium.
Why should you trust them to keep your things?
the Earth, made mostly of carbon
He's good at math, but he's applying that math on an ignorant premise.
I would vote for them, but it feels like a throwaway vote.
I will vote for them because the only way to throw away my vote would be to vote for someone I don't want to win.
I want the NDP to have more seats because they seem focused on citizens, not on money.

That is when he wrote the passage you mention
You said "never", you stupid bitch: Never say never.
Thanks you for your detailed reply.

Homer composes a romance, which he gives out as such, and which is received as such; for nobody doubted that Troy and Agamemnon no more existed than did the golden apple. Accordingly he did not think of making a history, but solely a book to amuse;
Saying things easily proven false: That's how you're idiotic.
See, I back my shit up.
A meltdown... into the bottom of the containment vessel.
And what's stopping the container from melting?
but no-one in antiquity
I said "until someone dug it up", I clearly wasn't taking about Antiquity, you pompous idiot.
The worst part of it is that Plato made up Atlantis just to set up a hypothetical argument.
People used to say that about Troy. Then someone dug it up.

I don't know if I would call WikiLeaks a "terrorist organization"
That's because you're a stupid little bitch: Look up the definition of terrorism, look up what wikileaks does, and make a judgment call.
What wikileaks does is to terrorism as apples are to lug nuts. Saying otherwise is blatant mud slinging.
What pisses me off the most is people that think pc = windose.
I know! That Mac in your house is your PERSONAL COMPUTER and that windows machine at the library isn't.
Last time I looked
Look again.

notability standards for scientists are pretty high, while any second zone sportsman will get an article for him.
The TV news doesn't always talk about science, but they ALWAYS talk about who threw the ball the most.
You know, IMPORTANT things.

I don't see any reason to believe the US government is involved. Why should they?
Just in case you've not seen it because you were looking elsewhere, here's the vice president of the United State explaining why he's getting involved: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/dec/19/assange-high-tech-terrorist-biden
people were sick of banking panic after banking panic laying waste to the economy and people's lives and financial well being:
Good thing they put a stop to that, then!
I would murder a thousand Castles and Chucks to have Firefly back.

hated the squid ending. It was much more in line with "the smartest man in the world" to simply manipulate Dr Manhattan into being the scapegoat.
The comic book ending illustrated the scale of his madness...
