They also have not felt the full force of the US armed forces. The US has been fighting in a very restrained manner, almost tippie-toeing through those countries.
Are there any online seismometers that show this blast. A nuclear explosion would show one big spike, but large ordnance would show a series of smaller spikes.
I guess they figure the stupid and unemployed are most likely to be watching late at night...
It's a good thing I'm unemployed, or I might have to take offense at that.
Instead of limiting the time it can be stored or viewed, why not make it so that it can be stored indefinitely and viewed as often as desired? It would be a lot simpler to implement. After all, the TiVo is already self limiting in terms of the amount of stuff it can record.
You obviously do not stay up to 2AM very often. Believe me, the quality and variety of shows on at that hour is abysmal relative to those showing at "prime time" (unless, of course, you enjoy watching infomercials).
Not being an American, I have no idea in what way Democrats speak differently than Republicans. (There are probably many Americans who have no idea either, but that's beside the point.) However, since these are both political parties, they basically say "Hurray for our side. Vote for us!" and "The other side sucks. Vote for us!".
I am always confused by viewpoints being described as "left" or "right". What do these mean? What exactly are these left or right of? Is there some sort of mapping of viewpoints that puts one to the left of, or to the right of, another on a scale? Please enlighten me.
After thinking about it, it *was* a number of years ago that I heard about the difficulty level of counterfeitting Canadian currency. I saw some of the plastic currency from the lands down under last year. Those would be a lot more difficult to forge.
I think what he's trying to get at is that in order to get off of the surface of Mars, you'll need a large rocket, perhaps the size of a Mercury Redstone, or Atlas rocket. It is unlikely that one of these can be delivered to the surface safely in one piece, so there will be a need for some sort of vehicle assembly crane. Fuelling equipment will also be necessary, unless some sort of solid fuel is used. In short, a significant portion, if not the majority, of the mission equipment will be dedicated to getting the crew off of the surface of Mars.
You're missing the point. You need a launch vehicle to get you from the Martian surface back into orbit. You cannot leave that vehicle in orbit. It has to be brought to the surface. On the Apollo missions, this was built into the lunar module. Due to the much higher gravitational pull of Mars, the return to orbit vehicle has to be larger, a lot larger.
Congress forbade NASA to research inflatable modules? Why? Inflatable structures seem ideally suited for space. Besides, what business does Congress have dictating what NASA researches? NASA has the experts, not Congress.

When I was a teenager I once believed that it was possible for a siphon to make water climb to a higher level.
You can if you are willing to sacrifice some of the water.
Hmmm.... Now if they'd only fluoridate soft drinks.
I'm more interested in finding out who's house they tested the "3000 feet indoors" in.

Moderators have absolutely nothing to do with whether or not a submitted story gets accepted.
Croal's slashdotted too.

Mmm, hog fat.
Pardon my ignorance, but who is Christa?

It is possible to make only true statements, and yet lead people to a false conclusion. It's called spin, or marketing, and it is done all the time.

- Equality vs social classes.
- Government control of the economy vs letting it run itself.
- Secularism vs religious morality.
- Fair outcomes vs fair process.
- Improving living standards through direct economic support to the poor vs through job creation by supporting the rich.
- Collective rights vs Individual rights.
- Preference for a larger government vs a smaller government.
No wonder I can't keep them straight. It all depends on whom you're facing.Yes, I've only been here 41 of your years.

I've always heard that Canadian money was one of the hardest to counterfeit.
Next time, withdraw $80 or $120. Problem solved.
Actually it is supposed to be a let down. :-)

I thought he was referring to one of these.
