Even if free neutrons are given off from the reaction (this would be inefficancey), free neutrons decay into Hydrogen (proton + electron) and I think a anti-neutrino in about 5 minutes. So, if the neutrons are not thrown off fast enough to make it out of the water chamber due to thier momentum, it will decay into free hydrogen which would probably be disolved into the water or used in further fussion.

Naw, I'm not bitter. Even though I haven't lived with my parents for 4 years, I'm not bitter at all.
I was wondering the same thing. There is actually a story on this on CNN today. I'd submit it if the editors didn't seem hell bent on rejecting everything I try to submit.
Ultra low frequency EM radiation can have effects on objects that are normally insulators. This phenomina can be abserved during meteor storms. Most notably, with some shooting stars, you can "hear" them despite them being several miles above you effectively instantainiously. It is hypothisized that as the meteor disintigrates during entry, the resulting plasma stores the magnetic field lines of the planted. The plasma moves somewhat before it cools. As it cools the field lines snap back into place creating a low frequency EM-pulse that causes leaves and assorted other things on the ground to oscilate breifly.
However, I have never heard of it producing current high enough to set anything on fire. Oh, and anyway, furnature usually has metal nails, screws, and staples in it.
You laugh, and yet Bose and their "Wave" radios are still in business.
FYI: They also used to run TV ads on TV where the manufacturer would tout better color/sharpness/etc. People fail to realize they are watching this on their own TV.
Complaining to the state probably will not help. I've worked over 40 hours a week for the state (in VA at least) and they've compensated by having me not work much the next week and then counting using 2 week payperiod. It is against their interests to crack down on it since they do it themselves.:P
No, I'll admit, this is not an absolute or a simplistic affair as hinted by my previous post. My goal was to simplify a call for caution into a similar set of circumstances so the wider audiance could understand it.
One quip about your bin Laden comment, the information I have read, and I am assuming is correct, says that bin Laden was trained by our CIA.
I agree with most of the part about our problem with replacing democrasy with totalitarian regimes friendly to US corporate interests, but I think that is irrelivant in this matter dealing with corporations. IBM has proven it can be an asshole screw-everyone corporation before. I am mearly saying they could do it again. So while they are acting civil now, I wouldn't give them the keys to the back door so to speak.
The "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" philosephy does not work well in the long term. The "friend" has a way of comming back to bite you in the ass. Examples:
Stalin Hussien bin Laden Pinochet etc...

That's back to only July 1999 and only on negative articles that mention Clinton. I didn't even bother to go further back or search specifically for stuff like Senator Disney and the DCMA. So, just because you forget stuff that doesn't fit your perseption of reality doesn't make it true.
Eh, so 'cause some Soviet spies infiltrated our government (and I'd bet ours theirs) that justifies calling random people commies and having them persecuted? I know some people in the United States are murderers, too. I can't just go around accusing random people and people I don't like of being a murderer. I can't accuse people with knives and guns and assorted other weapons of being a murderer either without proof.
Is it just me or is the group that champions states rights seem to argue in a manner that equates all levels of government with federal government; and therefor, should have the same restrictions?

Yes, thank god the government stayed out of infomation networks. And thanks to it, Al Gore invented the internet where the government would have been perfectly happy using carrier pigeons for the next 50 years.
Err, wait.

Hell, right now I'd take a job that would pay $20,000 a year. In fact, I've applied for a coadministrator job for a ~125 node Unix/Windows network that paid a _max_ of $20,000. I had the experience and the degree and still didn't get it. And that is one example out of many. All the private computer stores around either don't have the business to justify hiring or replaceing a tech. Most in the area have dropped like flies. The ones that are willing to pay me by the job rarely earn me over $120 a month. I've been barely sustaining myself on odd jobs, temp jobs, and part time jobs for 2 years.
"I wish people would quit developing emulators for the purpose of selling them(especially during the market life of the emulated unit)."
I understand the sentiment, but I'd like to add my own two bits to it. The reason emulation programs do and should start out while the console is on the market is because it usually takes a long time and a lot of work to code an emulator that actually works on a decent amound of games. Even if a working emulator is released during the console's lifespan, PCs at the time are usually too slow to emulate the games at full speed. The only exception I can think of is the emulators for portable systems because they are so slow compared to general purpose PCs of the same period.
Good for you. I caught a couple of punks in the act, but they spotted me approaching and ran. Good thing too, cop basically said he would have charged me with assaulting a minor (or two) had I touched them. Maybe the law is really anal in Virginia....or maybe the local cops are just assholes.:P
FYI, you can sometimes get around HP's crap by downloading the corporate version of their drivers. Usually, they just actually supply, wait for it, the printer drivers! That way the printer prints just fine without all the extra BS and the files aren't as much of a hog to download.
Problem: if you have a gun and the thief is unarmed you are the one they send to pound me in the ass prison. Even if they are armed you have to be SURE they are going to physically hurt you or your family or you are required to just watch them walk off with your shit. Touch them and you get charged with assault. Set traps and that is a another whole world of shit altogether. And lets not forget YOU are held liable if the thieves steal your gun and then use it in a crime.
I'm not saying the patent should have stuck. As a matter of fact, I am glad the patent was struck down since there was a good chance they would have gone after mozilla and opera next.
My thought along the lines though is that it apparently takes alot of money and purchased influence to get justice in the system.

It's long winded and less than calm so you may have to skim it to get to the meat of the argument.

"As long as employers are clear about how many hours people are allowed to work, they shouldn't be required to shell out for people who go over."
Possible abuse: "You are only allowed to work 40 hours this week. Oh, by the way, I want you to start (80 hour project) and have it done by Friday."
Complaining to the state probably will not help. I've worked over 40 hours a week for the state (in VA at least) and they've compensated by having me not work much the next week and then counting using 2 week payperiod.
