Considering we don't have a working fusion reactor, how do you know all you have is hydrogen for fuel?
It may require plutonium...who knows? You're giving attributes to something that doesn't exist. Using wish-fufillment to give it all the positive attributes.
How do you know that fusion is nice clean and safe?
Point out a working fusion power plant to me.
From what I've seen so far in the experiments, fusion is far more radioactive and hard to sustain. It's much easier to work fission. To make it better and safer.
It's cute that you use soviet technology as an example. When was the last time you used anything from old USSR? I think the AK-47 was the only thing they've produced that people want to use.
Diabetes is easily curable. Implant a bunch of insulin producing cells in a capsule that is perforated to allow the flow of chemicals, but protect the cells from white blood cells. This has been tested on animal subjects and it works.
And why should the "US" be spending any money whatsoever on health care? Only if nationalized health care comes to fruitation. Otherwise, you either go through your insurance, or hit your bank account.
Don't thank me, I just grabbed it off of this web comic:

If you start to read from the begining, hold your judgement until you get to "choo choo bear" the cat. That's when the creator seems to hit his stride.

Er, how accurate do you have to be with nuclear weapons?
Probably the same reason I have 3 different clients. Because none of my friends who use those clients will change.
I still don't get why Yahoo has stopped working under GAIM.
"No, I'm pretty sure you don't."
;-)
It's my encryption key.
As near as I can tell, all of those skills are now useless. Just excrete a book that's politically popular and get rich.
Just look at "Arming America".
Could have other reasons:
The company you work for doesn't pay enough to get the good graduates.
You don't know how to work with people that are new to the workforce.
It doesn't matter. Skilled or inept, the company processes them all the same.
That's nice. But I need it to the 500,000th digit.
Ah, here we go:

Your skill of knowing pi to the 20th digit is useless compared to good searching skills. Which is appliable to all Internet data.
You guys liked 'Evita'?
I sat down and after about a half hour I was going "It has to get better"...
after an hour I switched to "I've invested an hour in this, quitting now makes that sacrifice worthless!"
Oh god. I can see the college courses now:
ROB101: The 46 basic laws of robotics
ROB201: The 368 kluge laws of robotics
ROB301: Self defense against unstable machine lifeforms.
I really appreciate your post. If I wasn't already invloved in this thread I'd mod you up.
I'm actually kind of peeved that you've only been rated a 3 so far.
I don't get it. How do you know that the G card has a 5 under it?
"Actually, the gist of the idea was, were all other things equal, it'd be better not to elect a warmonger."
How do you get that from what 'thegnat' posted?
So, your response to the Bush administration not fighting terror vigorously enough...is to vote in an administration that won't do anything?
What are you talking about?
I'm explaining why someone might be pissed about the movie. Maybe you're responding to someone else's post?
Facinating. I've read that, theoretically, Iron is the highest element that can be fused.
If it's true, it's nice to see these two facts dovetail like this.

"Care to explain to me how one could run out of control in theory?"
Not really. I'll take a crack at it when we have a working Fusion reactor.
Currently most of our fusion designs are super-safe, because they don't work!
Yeah, I'd imagine those who are responsible on making sure no new terror attacks happen, are a bit touchy on the subject.
I can hardly wait for the responses from cancer ward patients when the next movie makes fun of cancer. Those guys need to lighten up!
That's correct. But what they do is they they reprocess it into other types of nuclear fuel, Pu I believe. Which would last for thousands of years.
Lies through ommision.
"So then the phenomenon of life is merely a complex arrangement of atoms and nothing more?"
Don't be silly. The phenomenon of life is merely the VERY complex arragngement of atoms, and nothing more.
But the arguement here is fusion vs fission.
What makes you think this mythical fusion reactor will be better?

I despise the nanny state.
I was talking about directly.
Wow, it never occured to me to do a google search on something like this. It just goes to show, an original thought is very very rare.
I really appreciate that you dug this up and posted the link. If I had mod points, you'd get them.
And back to the point. 7km? I know I've only noticed one source of gravity in my life, but 7km is surprisingly small to me.
