67% of the Earth's current population lives near the coasts.
In the past I think it was more so.
I also think the so called flood just flooded "most" of the earth, not all of it, because even in theory the Ark ended up on mount Arrarat in Turkey.
Thousands of feet of water just sounds too preposterous to me, there is not that much water on the planet and at the time that mountain may not have been as tall either.
Moutains rise, and they fall, maybe it has been on the rise, as for the geology of it I have no idea.
I still think if a major tectonic event occured, it could raise sea levels hundreds of feet, and would flood out the majority of civilization as we know it.
Right now the Super Volcano in yellowstone park is shifting the bed of the lake in the federal park.
When it goes, the lake will be gone I am thinking.
In the history of the earth, Mnt St. Helens was a "small" explosion, some of the horrendous ones are just a small taste of what a fully active ring of fire in the pacific could do.
Setup Transponder near surface of wreck, setup relay station 20km away, and evacuate the closest town for a short time.
Use directional low power transmitters for long shots, and low power omni directional transmitter near site.
The remote control subs could use air bags to float bombs to surface slowly changing their bouancy and rising up like air bags.
Also as a precaution they could rig concentric rings of air bladder bags to absorb some of the outward explosion , if they completely surrounded it with 100 ten foot thick air bag sets it could lessen the surface level explosion, alot would still go straight up.
Also mines are designed to exist in water, those bombs were not, and it is VERY possible alot of them are now duds.
If the world's undersea volcanos went active for a "short" while near the poles and they "completely" melted we would see hundreds of feet rise in sea levels world wide.
According to bible it rained for forty days and forty nights and I am not sure how long it took to "drain off"
My guess would be as it rained in some parts, it fell as snow in others , and the volcanic activity subsided.
That is a scientific guess at a situation that may or may not have happened.
For that much water to fall as precipitation would take an "insane" amount of time and evaporation.
Even monsoon rains cannot dump that amount of water, I think the volcanos we now know are under antarctica and the arctic could have released enuff water to flood everything to and elevation of 400 - 500 ft above sea level maybe a little higher.
Myself and my hard core old school group of friends call these ppl suits, because they are typically "dressing for success" and their technical expertise is at best a joke.
We have 20+ yrs hands on experience with computers, and remember mag tape and punch cards . These ppl think there has always been a mouse.
When you have someone making decisions about technical material and they themselves only have a shallow surface level understanding of it , you are going to get a giant mess.
Technical ppl are usually not allowed into management because they "talk over the heads" of the suits . Ego in check, and fear of being made to look like idiots , the techie types are kept out of the boardroom for their tendency to be blunt and call it like they see it.
Techies make this fear real by being blunt, and calling dumb ideas dumb with no sugar coating, and no window dressing. Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, we call it a duck.
The boardroom wants slick willys that can sweet talk take sweet deals, and and resell the same subroutines in different forms and different apps as separate packages.
They want plastic personalities and want a professional image, not some bulky linux admin pagan that dresses like he got his clothes from goodwill.
Even though more often than not that is the person at the "soul" of the operations, keeping the blood of bits pumping.
Yet the garbage man of the company gets paid like a garbage man, because it is a thankless job at "most" companies.
If it is a Engineer owned or built company it is usually better, but even companies like Cisco grow to a point where they lose their tech management soul, and become victims to the marketing mantra of maniacs.
The sales rep, marketing rep, management type goes out and sells that image and a bag full of promises they "forgot" to mention to the technical ppl til a week before deadline.
The suits are not about good engineering, they are about lubing up the customer for a first rate reaming.
It comes down to the usual common denominator, "money", period.
They want to make the customer think they are getting a great deal, and then find the best way to get as much money as they can, and lock themselves into that company so getting rid of their solution is as painful as possible without making it obvious.
The marketing types and management types in alot of places are about image, and giving the feel good, and ego massaging, and orchestrating a grand play to make things look like they should to the other suits in the other companies . Think of it like poker.
The company that can balance this, have good engineering, and good slick willy management wins.
I hate it, and I decided to work for myself, and be a oncall technician that does onsite and drop off.
Corporate drones, watch Office Space, it makes TOO much sense. Tech corporate insanity can suck the life out a person. May your god whomever he be, save you from this fate.
Well one would think it was Bush backing the draft, but it is a bit of Subterfuge. What is going on is the Democrats put forth the two bills to re-instate the draft . Senate Bill s.89 , House Bill H.R. 163.
As another subtle bit of subterfuge they like to put Rep in front of the authors names, making the less informed think these ppl to be evil republicans, but it just means representative.
If you check their names with their party affiliation you find they are Democrats . So military stupidity is not limited to Republicans.
The draft is a bad idea . Ppl that do not want to fight make poor soldiers and it usually causes massive unrest . See "Kent State"...
You want quality soldiers, pay them decent pay, and do not screw them on their benefits like the government does now.
See "Gulf War Syndrome" and the lies surrounding the hearings...
In a perfect world we would not need a military, but if you look around you will see we are SOOOO far from perfect that, that day is a ways off . Peace is great, but who is buying ???
India's militarist overtures are geared towards Pakistan in my humble opinion . They still follow the principle of mutually assured destruction from the US/USSR cold war.
They need to follow the steps of Reagan and Gorbachev and decide to put the insanity away.
Even then it is not really over, the US/Russia still have nukes, just ALOT less of them.
As long as there is Fear, Power, Greed, Hate, Envy, and Nationalism there is going to be this militaristic desire for "defense", or as Fundementalist Muslims feel a new Global religious crusade to convert or kill the Infidels in a 25,000 mile, 360 degree circumference.
History shows the horror of war, but nobody has heeded the lesson over thousands of years, closest was Tibet, and you see what it got them . The Dalai Lami is homeless more or less.
Only Ghandi has defeated violence with peace because he understood that if you make the situation financial worthless the british will just go away.
North Korea did not sign for peace, they just have an Armistice. Technically, the war never ended . 51 years it has gone on.
The good news is China is trying to convince North korea to embrace the captilism and under cut the US thru manufacturing like China is and to win the war financially. The bad news is the US will eventually manufacture nothing here and after a generation of not doing it, even if we had to we would have few ppl that knew how.
China figured out they could beat us at our own game just like the japanese did with their cars for "awhile" til tarrifs slowed it abit and US automakers stopped making crap.
That is why China wanted into the World Trade Org so bad , and has been putting on a guise of being a good neighbor . Hide and watch.
China plans to take Taiwan, and North Korea wants the south section for itself, its not a matter of if, but when. When the middle east goes full tilt and we are stretched far too thin, look for some or all of this to play out.
Right now the war in Iraq is but a shadow of the killings fields of Vietnam, but if we do not get out soon, it will be like that or worse, and "some" ppl in Iran hope that happens.

They are talking nanite memory that retains its bit state after power is removed, and it is 10 times faster than current best DRAM out now at this time . Future speeds near 100 times faster than current RAM speeds.
They also can store 1 Tera-byte in a square centimeter.
They have found a way to beat the issues that was keeping this break thru possible, and found a way to make it cheap to produce, and this could signal the end of Cd's, DVd's, floppies, regular RAM, and the Hard Drive.
This could provide Instant-on computers, near zero boot time.
Storage = RAM = cache = blinding I/O... Ad Infinitium....
Like Rome, their desire for cheap labor, and them themselves becoming soft and seeking elitist lifestyles, they corrupted from within.
Eventually the many who slaved away so a few could live ridiculously lavish lifestyles with many houses, and more wealth than 10 ppl could spend in a normal lifestyle grew tired of seeing their families and friends suffer.
Think Enron, WorldCOM, Global Crossing, "Ad Naseum"....
Things are good enough for now, but when an UNLIMITED number of mexicans may cross the border for cheap low end labor, and the L1 visa remains UNLIMITED in the numbers that can enter to work here.
The US will start to speed it spiral into a cess pool.
Mexican Truck drivers can now enter the US with trucks that do not meet the safety standards required by US drivers.
They do not have to meet the log requirements, they do not pass the same driving test US drivers have to go thru.
This is nothing but greed, graft, and coruption.
There is alot more going worng than the short list I have presented here, and it is getting worse, not better.
You think it is bad now, you have not seen anything if the corporate whores have their way and continue this race to the bottom . Their temple to cash, is going to just crash.
We cannot pay this high standard of living expense if their idea is to reduce us to third world wages.
I think it is kind of a good thing, it is making inroads for open source products by showing all the preplanned back doors into the OS that are wide open.
Bill meant it to be used for businesses to track customers, etc etc.
Motivation being greed, but it has been perverted like alot of other back doors and has become an anethma.
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
My standard practice is now, to remove all I can with Adaware, Spybot, and manually removal.
reboot, go another round with it.
After google searches, registry searches, and looking at active processes and using a live registry trace tool, I get it all removed EVENTUALLY.
It does take longer on some machines than a reinstall which is sad.
After I do all of this I essentially remove EVERY like to IE and tie all automatic browsers launches to Mozilla.
Then I tell them to never ever use IE again as long as they live.
After the hours of weeding thru the muck they respect my wishes.
M$ has shot itself on the foot with all these spyware/malware/adware back door holes and all they are doing is promoting open source.
Agreed, this is just a stop gap for what the world needs.
We need Hot fusion, or Cold fusion, or Bubble Fusion.
Hot Fusion looks a long ways off, Cold fusion is now being reproduced globally but only VERY intermittently per Wikipedia.
I think Bubble Fusion has the best hope in the short term, unless someone figures out how to tap the hidden energy in the Casimir Effect , and few but Puthoff in Austin Texas understand it as well as he.
The only other possible I can comprehend is deep core drilling for geothermal like Iceland without triggering a volcanic eruption.
I cannot really think of anything else that is viable to put out the kind of power that the world is using at present.
I also think we should mandate LED light sources world wide as they use less power unless safety dictates otherwise, and where power can be saved it should be.
India is going thru much the same growing pains, and they will need a solution too, I hope 30 years will buy enough time to make it happen.
Your right on China's growth, they are the fastest growing mercantile power in the world . Only the collapse of the world economy will change that.
The dam cost 30 billion to build and the flood of 1998 cost 24 billion in damages, so I think that justifies the dam even beyond the 4,000 dead from that one flood.
The enviromental and ppl impact is unfortunate of building it, but the alternative for 30 years of fossil fuels is perhaps worse.
I wish there was a Utopian solution, all we have are ugly solutions for now, but with science we can now see the end of the tunnel and hope is a real possibility.
At a yearly rating this plant puts off 365 days x 24 hrs = 8,760 hours
18.2 MegaWatts x 8,760 = 159,432 MegaWattHours if 100% operational.
159.4 BillionWattHours is about 1/8th what they use now.
China's Total power usage is 1.13 TrillionWattHours per the CIA's website.
So once the dam is complete, it will be over 1/8th the power the country uses and will help reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
The dam is far from a perfect solution, but if I had to chose between the dam and greenhouse gases put out by china being 80% fossil fuel powered I'd take the dam.
So as for them needing 1,400 of these dams I'd say ur a bit off.

24 billion in damages, so I think that justifies the dam
even beyond the 4,000 dead from that one flood
The enviromental and ppl impact is unfortunate of building it,
but the alternative for 30 years of fossil fuels is perhaps worse.
I wish there was a Utopian solution, all we have are ugly
solutions for now, but with science we can now see the end
of the tunnel and hope is a real possibility

Ahhh a flaw in ur math I believe .

18.2 Million Kilo-watts is the continuous power
At a yearly rating this plant puts off 365 days x 24 hrs = 8,760 hours
18.2 MegaWatts x 8,760 = 159,432 MegaWattHours if 100% operational
159.4 BillionWattHours is about 1/8th what they use now
China's Total power usage is 1.13 TrillionWattHours
per the CIA's website
So once the dam is complete, it will be over 1/8th the power
the country uses and will help reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
The dam is far from a perfect solution, but if I had to chose
between the dam and greenhouse gases put out by china being
80% fossil fuel powered I'd take the dam
So as for them needing 1,400 of these dams I'd say ur a bit off
