Yeah, except the same process is happening with Saturn, excepts its water molecule erupting from huge geysers on Enceladus. Of course Saturn has a dramatically weaker magnetic field than Jupiter (if you could see the magnetic field of Jupiter it would be several times larger than the Moon and the largest thing in the night sky.) So you wouldn't be getting the kind of energies that Jupiter hefts, but Saturn in no slouch. That and the back lit pictures of Saturn show extensive invisoble ring structure dramatically further from the planet than we previously imagined. So, same argument, different ionic species, in fact they should be looking for either molecular water or oxygen in the glow, not things they would normally be looking for.
That IO has left a huge toroid of highly charged sulfur atoms running around Jupiter and that perhaps Titan's atmosphere is just banging into that cloud and what we're witnessing is sulfur ionizing at high altitude? Just a thought? Of course it does seem to have a solar component ("happens on the sunlit side", but that might be explained by expansion of the Titan atmosphere do to solar heating... or not.)
That or it could all be a simple problem with swamp gas... what would compose swamp gas on a frozen hydrocabon planet... AMMONIA!!! And there you have it.
Depends on whether or not you're the owner of the vagina dentata... I'm guessing an OB/GYN doing a pelvic or even worse, an anxious Lothario is going to sweat those dentata a whole lot.
They don't have to drop a bomb on us, all they have to do is call on all our bad paper and foreclose on the entire country... wars are now fought in boardrooms.
Nobody ever fired a soldier for saying "I'll shoot the fsckers..." That's not the same as waving a gun or pulling a trigger (though if the guy is talking sh!t, you should probably keep an eye on him.
This is dead on correct. Balloons on trajectory traveling just around mach 25 won't hit atmo with sufficient density to slow them down until about 5 minutes before the real warheads impact. There is no way to effectively respond in that time window. This is a completely effective strategy.
There are degrees of destroyed. There's "I'm so hungry I'd eat the stinky parts of a skunk..." and then there's "Momma, look at all the pretty lights... Thump... Whoosh!"
Folks, the creature staked out in front of the White House, make no mistake is a pitbull. It may wear an expensive three piece suit and answer to the name "Attorney General", but the long polished teeth, wide muscular muzzle, ripped forelegs and haunches bespeak an animal more fit to tear the heads off other dogs. Asking it if it thinks its lust for blood and fresh meat have any moral justification is just a piss poor use of your breath. Its a pitbull. Jeez! Its simply doing what it was lead and bred to do. Being a human pitbull, you might be inclined to hold it responsible for its actions. Good luck with that.
However, were I someone interested in the future of American culture, I might be rooting around higher up the food chain for somebody who decided that Aaron Schwartz made a better meal for a pitbull, than a fighter for American Liberty and Justice. The rest is sideshow drama designed to distract. America keeps losing important people, important moral infrastructure. That is the issue to address.
So regarding this analogy, you're saying if I can train my dog to crap copyrighted material over a state line, then by all means bring in the FBI. Well we'll get right on that... Oh Mr. Hoover!!!
This wasn't voluntary, she wasn't brought before a grand jury. She could have said "I don't know." or "I don't recall." and there's no way to compel her to respond to the prosecuting attorney, however this would have certainly put her in their sites as well. The bottom line here is that she made a human error. Not hubris, in no place did she thing she could outsmart the prosecutors, she simply didn't believe she had anything to share that would warrant prosecution (and as some above points out, if they want to they can and will prosecute you on a ham sandwich and they have the resources to make it stick.)
No, this is all about a witch hurt, a legal lynching, on behalf of wealthy and powerful people everywhere who want to make absolutely certain that peons for freedom, justice, and civil liberty get the smack down. An attitude adjustment that makes it absolutely certain and everyone knows, the powerful make the laws and the powerless get legislated against. The Weak are meat, and the Strong do eat. -OR- Why "Dog eat dog" is a shitty world to live in.
Collect unwanted yellow pages and burn them to make electricity, steam and purify waste water. Since they're a renewable resource that's almost carbon neutral, and you're preventing the unwanted use of landfills, you have a winner on multiple counts.
All of this is moot, Global birthrates are plummeting. As women all over the world are getting contraceptives, and their partners see the possibility of limiting family size with the growing availability of health care and access to education, it's almost certain that the global population problem is about to fix itself. The mid-century predicted population topping out at over 10 billion will almost certainly be dramatically smaller (provided backlash from Muslims and Catholics regarding the use of contraceptives by women isn't too severe.)
This effect is most pronounced in the third world and was accurately predicted at the 1995 Cairo Conference, when the top women leaders in the world proposed that women be given global access to education, health care and contraception. It was predicted then that if proper action had been taken that peak human population could have been limited to 7.4 billion (and would have been reached around the early to mid 2030s.) The male leaders ignored the summit, looking to treat the symptoms instead of the pathology. So now we have a great shot at stopping human population growth at between 8 and 9 billion. That would be amazing. More over, the population would slow drop, and in a couple centuries approach that sweet spot around a billion people (this would be slow as human lifespans expand up to and including virtual immortality, though migrating off of protein would dramatically reduce a human footprint... physically and logistically.)

Yup, Family tree like bamboo... no branches!

DAMN! So close... and yet so far :-(

You forgot the eerie OoooOOOOooooOOOoooo LLLaaaaaaaaaaa!
I tried guzzling pork rinds, but they just powder and shoot out my nose...
They're at the back, near the Almond anus... Bon Apitite

I'm sorry, but any time someone brings up submarine launched BMs, I'm forced to laugh to myself about the submarine toilet instructions.

No. in short we have that many warheads for the same reason men of stature in 17th century England work larger codpieces...
False, evil, tricksy Hobbitses!

Dude, did you get here in a Delorian with a Flux capacitor???
Make it a global pay per view, and use the proceeds to pay off the deficit... Finally North Korea gets a constructive use.

Opt out and provide the personal information for the Managing Board of Yellow pages. Duh, live by the sword...

No he had it right... their frontal lobes are so weighty that they tend to fall forward... its why they tend to have flat faces...
As long as he's considerate enough to keep his participles from dangling in public, I can forgive almost anything... S
