I don't think CO2 is essential to the system... it just happens to be the most handy gas available on mars. Its really like a VTOL aircraft with jet engines except that the gas is heated electrically rather than by burning fuel. An earth-based gashopper would just use air.
People are buying SUVs to be a bit safer than the average car in a crash. So now everybody's gotta get one to stay safe.
While I suppose an SUV might be safer in a crash, I suspect you're that much more likely to get into a crash in the first place in a large vehicle than a smaller, more agile one. I seem to remember seeing far more accidents involving SUVs and minivans than normal cars... but it could just be that I remember them more because I despise SUVs.
Anyone have statistics on accidents/number of vehicles on the road for SUVs vs passenger cars?
Because I believe EVERYBODY should be pro-life- you signed up for it by being born into a social species. Sorry about that- next life maybe you should be born as something that isn't social and doesn't interact with others of their own species.
Humans are not the only social species. Many animals live in herds and hunt/shelter together. Many of them also eat their young if they're weak and sick and leave the old or wounded to die. Many human cultures do/used to do that too... protecting the weak goes against nature's "design". I'm not saying we should kill off the weak and diseased or anything like that... but just because we interract with others of our own species doesn't mean we need to interract in ways you approve of. You can make other arguments, but don't make broad claims about "characteristics of species" because nature is cruel at times and nature doesn't care about individuals.
Moreover, I happen to believe that there's more to life than having a pulse. If I were vegetative, I would much rather die with dignity than have air and blood bt pumped through my body by someone like you claiming to be "alive".
You are entitled to your beliefs and you're entitled to try and convince other people of your beliefs, but get off your high horse. There's more than one way to look at things, and to claim that you're right and everyone who disagrees with you isn't is intellectually dishonest.
I'm a graduate student, and when we're approaching a paper submission deadline, extended working hours are not uncommon. There have been periods when I wake up and get into the lab by 11 and stay till 1, and repeat this for a week or so. I usually still get 7-8 hours of sleep most of the times but this schedule comes at the exclusion of most other activities. As a result I can maybe pull one of these 80-90 hour weeks, but beyond that my mind just shuts down.
Also it usually takes a few days of little or no productivity at the end of that period to return to normalcy. So although I can't speak for the EA programmers, I can put in bursts of extended hours, but not for sustained periods.
How so? I understand its fashionable to be anti-MS around here, but this seems like a perfectly reasonable way to track down professional pirates who sell unlicensed copies of their software on a large scale. They are offering amnesty to anyone who comes forward under the program.
Would you prefer that MS started going after end-users like the RIAA and MPAA?
This guy couldn't have possibly been able to even write down his answer in 11.8 seconds The 13th root of a 100 digit number is 7 digits long. Most kindergarten kids would be able to write down 7 digits in 11.8 seconds.
I see the catch as being that the clock stops when you begin writing your answer What on earth are you talking about? Your own quote says it ends at the END of writing the answer!
I don't think you just point the finger at someone and MS sends you the copy of WinXP. You probably have to sign an affidavit affirming under penalty of perjury that the vendor sold you a pirated copy of WinXP. Perjury is a serious crime and can get you a stiff fine and a prison term. Even if it might be hard to prove the case of perjury and bring charges, you'd be taking a HUGE risk for very little potential payoff.
Lithium Ion batteries are inherently unsafe. If improperly charged, lithium metal can be formed on the electrodes which is highly reactive and will catch fire or explode. Thats the reason you can only buy lithium-ion batteries as a battery pack, not independent cells, the way you can with NiCd or NiMH batteries, and there are no Li-Ion AA or AAA cells.
If the third party manufacturer is a reputed electronics company, its probably OK, but if its some "generic" brand, you're playing with fire... literally.
I believe the grandparent was talking about the fact that the T1 standard is used in the US. The european counterpart would be the E1, regardless of what your specific connection happens to be.

The session of congress after the election but before the new members are sworn in. I believe there are some restrictions (although I'm not sure whether they are in the law or merely unwritten rules) on the actions that elected officials who have lost an election may take.
The only thing you've illustrated is that america's public transport system is underdeveloped. If trains didn't go at 50mph or so (as you 4 hour figure implies) but at 100mph like the trains in any europe do... even the express trains in India (where I grew up) do 80-90 mph, you end up with 3.5 hours.
I think they found a very clumsy way of saying "finding the glitch gave the democratic candidate enough votes to bump the republican candidate from victory"
Incidentally, I find it interesting that practically every EVM story seems to favor the Republicans. Is this just because those are the stories that get reported, or is it really the case that the EVMs vote republican?

In your person, maybe.

Now thats just too confusing.
1 barleycorn = 1/3 inch
1 inch = 3 barleycorns
1 foot = 12 inches
1 yard = 3 feet
1 rod, pole or perch = 5½ yards
1 chain = 4 poles
1 furlong = 10 chains
1 mile = 8 furlongs
1 league = 3 miles
Now isn't that much better?

You don't need the US's permission to go to space. You need US permission to get there through US airspace.
