"... Bolton since some of you may prevent him from representing us at the UN."
Bolton, supposed to be bad-ass and shake it up at the UN.
But, when Chavez spoke out like a druken asshole, where was Bolton? Not EVEN THERE. He should have thrown down right there and choked him out on the spot.
"Carbon dioxide that's generated from metabolic proccesses come from carbon present in what we eat. Since all our food get's its carbon in turn from the air (plants via photosynthesis, animals via eating plants), the total carbon in the system remains in balance."
it's more complicated than this...
You have not distinguished kinetics from thermodynamics. You can still screw-up a steady state by changing rate constants, without introducing new mass into the system.
Also, there is entropy to consider.
Moral, be as efficient as possible. The whole universe pays for our waste.
The women in the story is presented as savvy, experienced etc. yet she receives horrible service, and she doesn't know what to do other than complain to the media?
Of course not, she wouldn't waste another second in that store full of idiots, she would find another ISP pronto.
Investing a federally backed student loan is against the loan terms you agreed upon when you signed your loan docs (not to mention that it is a federal crime.)
We find that you are in default of your loan agreement, and the ENTIRE LOAN is NOW DUE.
"...But it's wild to imagine the problems it would cause for society. If you could produce beings from anywhere along the spectrum from animal to human, at what point do you let it vote?"
It obviously will be able to register as a US Republican, no problem.
1) they ripped off "Current Contents" citation index 2) pretended that they knew what they were doing just because they were at stanford 3) got tons of money, which validated the rip-off in peoples minds

Best calulator in a small form factor ever made IMHO.

"a new file system (possibly, unsure on this one myself..." - please Apple could you address the following annoyance I have lived with as a dual mac/PC person:
files created on mac then copied to portable media produce two files: realfile.xls, and._realfile.xls. The second is very small, and appears useless on the PC. The realfile.xls is a perfectly good excel file in this example.
How many times have I have given a usb drive to projectorguy for presentation loading etc.; and projectorguy is baffled by what's on the usb? Then I have to explain find the file myself. Etc.
Please Apple, dump the useless._realfile.xls. Make integration with the Windows world one little bit better.
Maybe this has to do with the difference between resource and data forks of a file, and maybe it made sense to have them be separate files at one time? I don't know, and to be honest I don't care. I pay for Apple gear because I generally like it better than my PC, and I'd rather use it. But I have to work in a world that is dominated by PCs and PC folk who think of macs as toys/alien/not for "real men" etc.
On either wrist, you would want the keypad on the inside (medial side). If you put this on either wrist, the text (as displayed in the photo) would be upside down.
Did marketing do their homework on the photo for press release?
A good scientist states his/her hypothesis such that observations could prove it false. (has to do with power of observations)
Wrong:
"A is not equal to B"
This is hard to challenge because to prove it false, you have to show that A really equals B(given experimental error etc.)
right:
"A is equal to B" null hypothesis
This is easy to prove false (if it really is false), otherwise you accept the alternative hypothesis, which is that there is insufficient data to reject it as false.
Note that this never really equates to PROVING it TRUE. Therefore, science NEVER PROVES anything to be true, but science often can prove things to be false. If an hypothesis has been challenged many times by many scientists, and never proven false, then the community tends to elevate the hypothesis to a theory. Which is never to be confused with a fact.
For a school project, my daughter sponsored a showing at our house.
Needless to say, everyone who say this DVD was greatly affected, we discussed the issues, and donated money.
Now, think a laptop will make a difference in these kids lives?
Give out cheap laptops if you want to, but in the end, the true suffering will carry on until people face the difficult problems that don't have easy solutions.
1) Who said alternative fuels have to be done in people's garages?
2) I don't know about your neighborhood, but in mine, every single home has a natual gas pipeline. Every single one. Society has worked out effiecient ways to pipe dangerous gasses into every single home. Dealing with EtOH/biodesiel is not such a big deal in whatever model makes the most sense.
3) A Blast to other posters - speaking as a chemist: those of you who keep saying (H2 is a "carrier"), get out a freaking chem book and look up redox chemistry, then define what is is that you think you are talking about.
Some of the changes since 9/11 are completely illogical.
One that really annoys me is forbidding small knives/tools/nail clippers in carry-ons. I always keep a Swiss Army knife in my briefcase; just a geek thing to do I guess. However, on my last trip, I forgot to take it out of my bag; it got flagged in x-ray, big commotion etc. I was allowed to ship it home for $15 dollars.
Here's my point. If something goes wrong, you NEED to have bystanders who can take some action, hence they could use the tools/knives etc.
Look at the "United 93" (I hope I've got that right) scenario. The ONLY thing that saved the US Capitol is passengers who could take action. I really wonder what we've learned collectively after 9/11.

Son,
is that you? You'd better not be playing f%$&ing games with your tuition money!!!

I also feel sorry for him, but for a different reason.
His parents are worthless.
If the kid had problems in the class, the parents should have helped him to deal with that in a constructive manner.
If he was doing okay in the class and this is how he got his kicks, we'll then there is not much hope for him.

I agree, but if you think about it, this is true for almost any law. It is there because of the irresponsible.
Responsible people don't need them, they already know what to do.
my new macbook pro is burning up the planet as I write!
woo hoo!
I don't know the legalities, but this is logically wrong.
Trespassing involves property (real estate)
wi-fi is BROADCAST. According to the FCC, the airwaves are PUBLIC DOMAIN.
AP/coffee shop owner had no right to tell the guy don't use what was broadcast.
IF this is about trespassing in the parking lot, well, the story doesn't say that.
I really did!
Had to carry compaq 18 lb monster, thru o'hare airport, thru snow, to our destination for an engineering test.

These spawned HALO, which put the xbox on the map.
