...If you add in the nickel and iron in the core...
So, no various ways of segregation of the surface elements ? Because in the end it doesn't really matter what's at the core, but what's on the surface.
Who reads the summaries anyway ? It's/. 2.0, so jump into the fray and start commenting after not only having not read the article, but neither the summary !

How about using the same positions, but for stereoscopic ultra high res search and mapping of near Earth objects?
It would be better to place them near the sun in that case. And I'm not sure that their optical formula is the best for _finding_ objects. You want a wide field for that.
You don't need two telescopes to do 'stereo'. You can use the fact that the telescope is moving in space.
Unless you want to do interferometry. I don't know if long base optical interferometry is feasible. I know that the VLT in Chile is designed to do it but that they had a hell of a time to calibrate it. I would be beyond awesome to have those two babies in opposite solar orbits doing optical interferometry. Well, I'm probably dreaming as it would mean maintaining them fixed in respect to one another to one quarter wavelength of observed light... Or somesuch.
If a planet had a significantly different ratio of base elements, such as a lot of fluoride and bromide on its surface, I assume life would make use of it and arrive at what you describe as 'teflon shells'. After all life here makes lots of things which are a LOT more complicated.
So the real question is: can a planet form with widely different ratios of elements on its surface (who cares what's at the core) ? Or do planet formation models lead to gaseous / rocky worlds which have basically always the same chemistry ? For information, Earth's crust is 46% O, 27% Si, 8% Al, 5% Fe, 3.6% Ca, 2.8% Na, 2.6% K, 2.1% Mg...
In other words, if Israel had really wanted a cease-fire agreement, they would have just waited for Jabari to sign the deal. Instead, they killed him.
Yeah, I have a hunch that Israel knew all hell would break lose with Hamas and did it on purpose: after all it's not like Syria can back them up now, all tied up as they are in their civil war. If Israel needs a time to finish the Palestinians, this is as good as it will be for quite a while.
I honestly don't know a composer/artist that has written this much quality work in such a short timespan. But I would be interested in getting to know a 20th century composer/artist that did and that I don't know of.
There are indeed few that come to mind on both sheer output quantity and quality. Serge Gainsbourg has written about 600 songs of various styles and is revered in France. There are others with incredible output but the quality is shit (IMHO) like the japanese noise guy who has done several hundred CDs. And of course others who have great quality but low output (The Beatles, etc...). Anyway, there's no way to objectively even call it a contest.
This guy seems to have studied the people who did write, and the people they wrote about, and came to the astonishing conclusion that the interesting people 2000 years ago were very bright and intellectual. Bah.
Yeah, it's like people who go "music nowadays is shit, look how good Mozart or Beethoven were". Well, duh, you pick up the best two the 18th century and compare it to whatever came out this year, so it's no surprise. Maybe you should compare them to the very best that came out in the 20th. Or wait another 88 years and compare it to the best of the 21st.
That's a good solution. Another one would be to require the phone companies to have a 'declare spam' number. After receiving a spam call, you call that number and simply say "the last caller was a scammer". They are obliged to track down the number (even if hidden), put it in a database, and after enough complaints show up they have to investigate, fine them and cut them off.
the WHO also states that circumcision helps reduce the risk of contracting and spreading sexually transmitted diseases
Maybe the WHO should learn about soap and what and, god forbid, condoms, before pushing for a barbaric practice. I always ask people who say that circumcision is good for health reason if, had they had a girl, they would have cut her tits off in order to avoid the risk of breast cancer.
In a recent Gallup poll it has been shown that there has been no change in 30 years of Americans accepting evolution as truth. What do you think are the major factors for this?
I spent most of the semester yucking it up with the other seven of 25 kids that didn't get out of Biology
Then why don't they get a 0, fail the course and have to start over ? 18 kids out of 25 come from families that refuse to accept evolution ?!? That is insane. I thought it was just a couple vociferous crackpots.
Well, an economist who write a very clear column for ignorant laymen like me in a magazine I read shot down the 'trickle down' theory thusly: when the rich get money, they put it in bank accounts in Switzerland or use it to purchase expensive art (=exchange of bragging rights, exempt of taxes). Hardly any of it goes back into the economy. When the poor get money, they use it to fix their car or repay their debts. If what you want is to have money recirculate in the economy, the 2nd choice is the clear winner.
OK, so which ones are those wear analysis tools ? Smartmontools ? Or something specific to SSDs ? Or something specific to that special brand of SSD (boot level binary utility from the maker) ?
Hit a rock or two in ATV mode and you precious water propulsion is probably busted. And those retractable wheels probably have lots of small fragile mechanical parts...
No, he certainly wasn't a fascist, but he certainly was some kind or other of extremist, probably libertarian, that made me want to take a shower after reading him. I like his writing style, I love his quips, his quotes and his 'bon mots'. But the underlying ideas are just plain dirty.
It's called sortition and was invented as soon as democracy itself. The caveat was that at the end of the term there was a vote to see if the incumbent had done a good job. If not they were executed. Caveat or advantage.

Question.

Clue time: Go to North Korea and try selling atheism. They will send you home in a cheap pine box.
Can you expand on that ? It doesn't seem like religions are very much welcome either.
That's a good solution. Another one would be to require the phone companies to have a 'declare spam' number. After receiving a spam call, you call that number and simply say "the last caller was a scammer". They are obliged to track down the number (even if hidden), put it in a database, and after enough complaints show up they have to investigate, fine them and cut them off.
How would you know you are calling the feds ? I assume those numbers would be standard numbers, not attributed to the gov. That's the whole point.

In a recent Gallup poll it has been shown that there has been no change in 30 years of Americans accepting evolution as truth. What do you think are the major factors for this?
At the same time, it's now OK to be an atheist in the US. What does Dawkins think of it ?
Do you believe a democratic society can exist which has no form of religion in its laws, or within government?
Many european countries are like that. If a french presidential candidate even told us of being religious, he'd be laughed out of the ballot.
Why do you post as an anon coward ? Are you really _that_ ashamed of being a religious freak ? Then grow up, nobody will make fun of you.

Come on, this much should be obvious, they have a tesseract structure !
Heinlein was never a fascist.
No, he certainly wasn't a fascist, but he certainly was some kind or other of extremist, probably libertarian, that made me want to take a shower after reading him. I like his writing style, I love his quips, his quotes and his 'bon mots'. But the underlying ideas are just plain dirty.
With a 0% chance of winning
Why is it always about WINNING ? Why can't you just influence the outcome ? For one winner, everybody else is a looser.
