and 3 other I can't remmember because they are small but i can get a list...
Bottom line "passenger are not told" is wrong. Passenger are told thru the "contract" they are accepting by buying a ticket. It is on the back of the ticket or given in an additional sheet with the ticket. Naturally nobody read it. But it is there. In germany it is in the agb (allgemeine geschäft bedingung, general condition of contract).
Now you might discuss that it might not be correct to NOT WARN EXPLICITLY the passenger, but hey, this happens also in many other field (auto leasing and small prints... Always read the smallest print...).
Bottom line is, if you give any data even in EU where we are supposed to get data protection, then it will be forwardded to the US sooner or later thru CAPS/CAPS 2 programs. As an EU inhabitant I think the EU dropped their pants on that one, but this is probably off topic.
Most WIPO rules are more or less to the (current) advantage of the US and their enormous patent portefolio and IP production. Why in the hell do you think EU is adopting all those nice treaty protecting IP ? because they are told by the WIPO to do it. Why is China switching to other standard ? because they can't copy the current one or the WIPo fall on them with shrot arms. Who everything ehre is it utimately profiting ? The US and its IP industry, and now draw please a link with all those nice DRM enabled BIOS which will obey the law (enforcement guaranted) and protect broacast, IP and so on.
There are a lot of smoke signal here. Do you REALLY want the people to relax NOW that the fire has a chance to be extinguished or do you want to complain later when the first storey is already in flame ?
I mean, if some people are refusing all the "good" stuff that GM bring us, then so be it. This is all about choice. By avoiding flagging product as "used with GM food" then you are effectively REMOVING this choice and REMOVING THE FREEDOM OF PEOPLE TO CHOOSE !!!!
Think of this : as a vegetarian you have a reasonable expectation to know if something is cooked with MEAT FAT. So why anti-GM people should not have a reasonable expectation to know what is build with GM food, directly or indirectly (after the GM food has been prepared and changed) ???
Science build on small step, even "popularly" known one fact, as to have a stable basis. And it is ready to shed theory if the model are proven to be false , or a better model come out. Such "simplistic" verification are necessary. Every fact even small one is important. After all the check the european astronomer had made could have come with the contrary result, and THIS would have been another step in clarification of our universe because it begs questions (why so much/few baclk holes? Are the model false ? Can they be refined ?). Both parents post might try to look funny with their "this is evident" but nothing is taken as evident until it can be falsified and data verified. At best those are only two funny +5 posts.
I quote : " And it is not allowed to give information away or even sell them (that is only allowed for public available information)". Lucky for you you have freedom of spitting untruth (no true freedom in germany) while being the real coward hiding behind anonymity... Only private data not available true a public source (like telephon book) is protected.
Think about it. The rest are not carbon, if there is complete incineration, then only some non carbonic element are left (Ca, OS, etc...). If the frying is not complete, the bacteria in the body then start their work and eat up the corpse. As for baking on the other side of the world, it really depend on the energy of the impact. It heat up the atmosphere which then in a heat wave travel around the globe. Whether the heat wave is enough is another question which the article seems to answer : yes.
But as the article point out, this theory does not explain the water extinction of the animals.
When you have to calculate draw, always calculate the chance NOT to draw, then the chance to draw is 1-chance not to draw.
Let me explain with your example of J and A 1st paragraph. If you have 6 chance to get the correct card out of 47 at the first card, then the chance NOT to draw the correct card is 41/47. AT the second card it is 40/46. At the third, 39/45.
Thus the chance NOT to draw a J or A is 39/45*40/46*41/47=65,7% chance to be completly unlucky. This is quite near from what you calculated by wrong means (38% so 62% of being unlucky).
By the same token you can calculate the chance of getting lucky at the 1st draw (1-41/47=6/47=12%) at the second draw (1-41/47*40/46~1-75%=25%) or at the third draw (1-41/47*40*46*39/45=35%).
Imaginating you have rejected 4 card and have only an A, the chance to get lucky are 3 cards out of 47 at first. So chance to get an A at first draw : 1-44/47=6%) at second draw (1-44/47*43/46~13%) at third draw (1-44/47*43/46*42/45~19%) or at 4th draw (I spare the formula) : 24%.
Somebody with better remmembrance from statistic stops me, but you never calculate "or" (I can get the card at 1st draw OR 2nd draw or 3rd Draw). What you calculate more easily is NOT-AND (chance to get at 5rd draw lucky card = 1 minus the chance NOT to get at 1st*chance not to get at 2nd* chance not to get at 3rd*chance not to get at 4th).
Well maybe I forgot something so feel free to stop me.
Might be a stupid celestial mecannic question but:

Blimps... In... Space...

· Score: 2, Interesting
As far as i understood until now the main cost to put something in orbit is to vainquish the gravity potential well. So if the "blimp" put you at the right altitude even if it is a slow-mo ascent, the only stuff you have to have afterward is a slighty ascending booster to finish putting the payload in orbit.
In other word you would only need to lift a far smaller rocket up there , orient it correctly, and have it put payload easily in space. Thus far less cost in needed boost overall. Am I missing something ? Is it a naive thinking ?
The NRA lobby has nothing in the hand because even if presented with a slant, the fact in "bowling for columbine" are still fact and thus cannot be libel. Maybe did this pass in your thought ?
You started the war, and all consequence stemming from it, from now on, will be put on YOUR responsability. So if there is an "army" of liberation fighting the regime you put in Irak, you can bet you will be lumped with the "foe" they are fighting, and thus increased risk an Iraki suicide bomber or terrorist coming to your country (and before you get me started on that subject, NO there wasn't that much iraki terrorist before the invasion).
To paraphrase "You recolt what you seed". And as the one seeding... You should care.
Face it, whether you like it or not (I personally dislike it being traced and identified by my "biological property" for various reason, one being you cannot escape being recognized once they are in governement database...), biometric will come...
Look at how long Russia occupied Afghanistan. As soon as the russian left, the warlord took over. The same will happen in Irak, or MORE LIKELY, some fanatic religious governement will take over, OR, the old guard will come back, as soon as the USA forces leave. If you think otherwise, well , history teach us otherwise.
As other pointed out Base hurt you as much as Acid. I had a colleague in my labor which had the unfortunate luck to try our "shower" [a special high pressure water shower to wash up somebody as quickly as possible from liquid substance. It has enough pressure to maintain an adult on the ground...]. He got a base on him 9-10 molar concentration (NaOH If I remmember correctly). By the time we moved him under the shower 5 meter away from where he was he had started screaming that it burn like hell on the few part of skin splashed... The lab was a mess afterward, with 5-6 cm of water everywhere.
If you think this is only symptomatic of Nilsen-US, well wake up. We have the same "rating" evaluation around here and the same result. Big Brother, Star Search and other inane shows.
I can't even count all those bad stats made on small sample (vore prediction and so on). The smalles the sample, however you do your sample, the highiest the error, up until the point your error is greater than your sample size [total uncertainty]. And frankly the argument forwarded by Nilsen and co about how good their sample are (blahblahblah we take a % of every soci-class and cook the number until we get something which please us) will NOT change that.
I know that is not what was asked by the submitter, but the related link he has given citate a 1% of the population being schizophrenic... Isn't that a bit... High ??
In case you do not know, I will do you a little HISTORY lesson. The US came into WW1 because the german made the FATAL error of sinking some of your ship at the wrong moment of the war (1916) 2 YEAR after it had begun. In other word, were those ship intact, US would have sit back to the other side of the pond. Furthermore US came at a time when the war was already decided (with germany on the losing side).
Now let us see another fact : WW2. US Also ONLY came into the war when Pearl Harbour occured , a FULLY 2 years in the war 1941. Should I remind you that the war started in 1939 ???
"Who was busy giving up the bulk of the secrets to USSR during the cold war until voted out?"
Really ? You should please citate the number of secret "given" out by France. Furthermore you should get a list of the spying the US did in France, and the number of secret "given" out by the US & weapon given to sud american dictator to fight "communist" rebellion.
"France keeps trying to use us to try and regain their powers of old."
As opposed to US imperialism attacking country on their own despite not having the mandate from the UN and the world being against it ?
Please let us not start the game of mud throwing. A few years ago France might have had as much dirt as you, especially bungled stuff like the "rainbow warrior", but France is since long not a super power on its own anymore. Unlike the US which is abusing on economical , political front its superpower status. Dirt is cumulating so quick at US doorstep it is a shame.
My Bicycle costed me 350$. I have 10 miles forth and back to do every day to go to work. I do that at about 11-12 miles (*) per hour. Granted I do have only 1 step hill, but this means :
1) I do get exercise
2) It did not cost me much
3) I spare so much money I can go more often in holidays (in EU we pay 400% your "pump" price due to governement taxes)
4) I pay less in insurance and maintenance especially since I can prove I am doing "physical exercize"
Not a bad investment, hmm ? I recommend bicycle to everybody which has less than 15 miles to work... Especially in town environement where it is difficult to park.
(*)I took 1 miles = 1.6 km as a quick on the thumb conversion
I already got a 40ma in the right arm and got truly shocked and had some titellement in the heart or suchlike but certainly "I ain't dead". At least until somebody ask me to stop typing on my PC and to stay still like every other dead. Yes i am sarcastic here.
But the "current" DO not translate to a U. If that would be that easy... We would not need to have both measure. You can have a battery of 6 volt 1 ampere and one with 500 volt 40 mA... They simply would not have the same puissance. And, if forced, I would rather touch the second...
In the FRENCH law it is forbbidden to sell Nazi memorabelia or to praise Natism. Whether you do not like it or not , or whether the US law is different do nNOT matter. What matters is that yahoo, displayed Nazi memorabelia and allowed sales within France. And as far as I know since by reselling something forbidden or allowing the reslling you make yourself guilty by association. Thus the Nazi Yahoo case was PERFECTLY grounded on the side of french law and french court.
You know why I use those cracks ? To crack my own game, that i legally bought for 40+$. Why do I do that ? Because I usually play more than 1 game at a time, and I have only one CD. You know what happen ? Every freaking game is asking to see its own CD in the drive. Result : early break down because you opnen and close so much the CD door. Personally I think those guy were sparing me the money, that game developper/distrubutor make me lose on hardware early retirement. I guess I will have to search for those crack a bit more "deeper" now. But I will certainly not give up on the possibility of not having to play CD-Toaster wioth what i legally bought.
