While the SO2 emissions are considered pollution, I was shocked at how high the daily man-made CO2 emissions were.
The CO2 emissions wouldn't be such a big deal if they were coming from some organic source, but since they are being added to the carbon cycle, that's a lot of CO2 to absorb. And there's no end in sight. It is high time we started replacing our fossil fuels with organic fuels. At that point CO2 emissions become non-issues since there would be no net increase in the carbon levels of the enviroment. It's not the burning that is the problem (outside of NO2 and SO2 creation); it's the buring of fossil fuels that add CO2 that is the problem.
Why exactly? C02 is C02, radiation from the sun doesn't care where it came from. Coal is organic, oil is organic, it's all carbon and oxygen.
Problems arise when the rates are screwed up, not because of some 'organic' voodoo. The world would be a better place if people working to protect it would argue rationally instead of throwing around crab about organics.
Which makes me wonder how long until the only "combatants" that have to be sent into a war zone are the guys who throw these robots all over the place (or drop them from planes?)
then hide in a secure place and view/control/eradicate problem. No casualties (on the side with the bots, that is), and no PR problems from increases in breadth and pervasiveness of combat coverage by the media.
Safe place? Didn't you mean primary target of the other side's robots?
They already do at fancy restaurants, although it's more like a Faraday cage than an active jammer. While it's not technically speaking legal, nobody complains.
As someone who has mild OCD (the type that compels me to step on each tile twice on the way to getting 1520 on the SAT I, not the type that makes me nuts), I have to say that it is an advantage in many games but especially any RPG-type game. Most of these strongly encourage repetitive behaviour, and some (especially MUDs) require highly accurate repetition.
No, it's quite complicated (somewhat like a fluid system). Regions of the field spin around, strengthen, weaken, and drift around in complex 3d patterns for thousands of years according to the models (confirmed by geological finds). The net effect is that the field is significantly weaker (due to the lack of a uniform makeup, in part) and in some regions, some of the time, effectively nonexistant. It is not sufficient to deflect the radiation that it currently does while 'flipping'.
If gay marriage bothers you, there is an easy solution: Don't marry someone of the same gender! Other than that, it should have no effect on you. If gay adoption makes you sick there is another easy solution: Don't let a gay couple adopt your kids! Once again you can live your life without it having any effect on you.
Some people care about children who aren't there own.
FYI, the chronology is supposedly set pre-Christianity by a good margin (the coming of Christ marking the 7th age or so). In Tolkien's grand scheme, the Silmarillion predated the Bible, it did not parralel it.

Could somebody explain why in every 3rd person view the people are wielding their guns in their right hand, yet the 1st person shot shows a gun in the left hand?
This has always bugged me a little bit, I'm right handed and seeing shots with the gun held in a way that I could not do easily is distracting, and that's not what I want in a FPS.
it judges women's appeal on a scale of A, B, C, or D. It is apparently based upon the "CUP" system, must be some acronym.

You Can't Link Here

It's deep-linking that's the problem, not linking in general. It takes much more bandwidth to load the main page and click to the page you want then to just link straight to the page you want.
The problem sites have is they want you to go through all the ads before you hit what you actually want, and hopefully get lost in the store or something, nothing to do with bandwidth.
Some security guard at Ft. Lauderdale, FL checked my laptop with this, he just waved this swab all over the laptop and put it in a machine. He flipped some switches and said, and I quote, "If this turns red, start running."
How arrogant are we, to presume we can change the stability of this world, which has sustained massive volanic releases thousands of times as much carbon dioxide what we have released in a century, metorite impacts more powerful than the biggest nuclear warhead in existance, hurricanes with more force than all the power generated in the US, etc etc. We couldn't do anything to this planet if we wanted to short of using massive amounts of nuclear weapons, and even if we blew ourselves to hell with all the nukes we have it wouldn't mean jack shit it 10,000 years.
It amazes me how much people like to think they are all big and have to take care of the world all of the time.
damp cloth, to use the Streisand-style Shakespearian. The point is that some of Senator Helms' constituents had an issue with a bill and so Senator Helms held it up. That's the way it's supposed to work. This does not reflect upon any large political quadron.
That's just ridiculous, NASA practically funds the RSA, they could commit sabotage just by cutting the money out. I don't think it was sabotage, but it most certainly wasn't sabotage by NASA.
In summary, the record and findings of the District Court lead us to two conclusions. First, Sony
demonstrated a significant likelihood that substantial numbers of copyright holders who license their
works for broadcast on free television would not object to having their broadcasts time- shifted by private
viewers. And second, respondents failed to demonstrate that time-shifting would cause any likelihood of
nonminimal harm to the potential market for, or the value of, their copyrighted works. The Betamax is,
therefore, capable of substantial noninfringing uses. Sony's sale of such equipment to the general public
does not constitute contributory infringement of respondents' copyrights.
This doesn't seem to restrict based upon the type of the device very much.
This is cool, but not terribly new. At many light shows, sprayers/misters work churning out water vapor to provide something for the lasers to hit. I have witnessed several of these, and sometimes a screen is generated to facilitate the production of the light effects. This isn't really that much different, merely on a smaller scale.
It seems to my that your arms would get very tired if you used one of these for a long time, considering there is essentially nothing to rest your arms upon. Holding arms in the air for a few hours while manipulating fingers at >60WPM would get very old very fast.

As far as the therapy angle, it's a game d00d.
Essentially, it's the belief that random events are affected by past outcomes.

Will we send the tobacco industries' finest to try to hook dogs and small animals on these cigarretes? Imagine - "Puff puff the Raccoon"?
