It takes the next 6 most research productive countries after the US to produce almost as much published medical research.
I don't know about the quality of most foreign medical research, but I can tell you from personal experience the bulk of what is published in the states is of little to no significance and was published just to make a publications list grow...
It is not about me, it is about all Americans. Don't you see that?
I suggest that you go read about what was going on in Germany in the 1930's. The arguments you make, have been made before, they allowed for the rise of the 3rd Reich, the holocaust and WWII. I don't want to be doomed to repeat that...
So you would cry foul if an american citizen (your family) was held, but not if an american citizen (Hawash) is held... I see... racist pig.
I am showing courage, I put it on the line, I want you to do the same.
We do have to clear up one thing before I give up on you: You are the coward, you are the one who demands the illusion of protection over freedom. I am showing my courage. I am willing to risk bodily harm to myself and my loved ones based on my principles, that people are innocent until proven otherwise.
What if they arrested your mother and did not charge her? Would you assume your mother had been helping the enemy? Would you assume she is a combatant? What there is no evidence? There was no evidence against Hawash for the first 6 weeks...
Ya' see they can do this to anyone, with no burden of proof this could get very out of hand. That is why we have the constitution.
If you value your cowardly hide more than your freedom you should move to another country, one where you do not have the right of habeas corpus.
If there is as much evidence as you say there is, he should have been arrested and charged in the first place, not held for 6 weeks then charged. I would not say that anyone who we had reasonable evidence of terrorist support should not be arrested, it is just that when you allow the government to hold citizens without charging them, you are denying all citizens their right of habeas corpus.
Ya know what... I am really tired of all this BS about civilians being innocent. We (citizens of countries with representative government) are ultimately responsible for the actions of our military.
I think the real moral relativism is that you think it is OK to attack solders, but not the members of the body responsible for the solders actions.
We 'elected' a christian fundamentalist, why should they not be able to elect an islamic fundamentalist?
Nobody forced HP to sell at a loss, that was their own bad decision. Costumers should not be forced to comply with HPs business plan, HP should be forced to revise it (which they are doing, but in an immoral way)...
Besides who gave HP (or you for that matter) the right to decide who needs a printer, and who doesn't. People choose to have a printer for their own reasons, regardless of whether or not they need one...
You've never been called nerd?

I do agree with you that you can not be too smart, but being smart (unless you make an effort to conceal it) will get you cast out of a lot of american society. I am sure that hundreds of/. readers could testify from personal experience that they were made to feel bad, or different (or even beat up a few times) because of their intelligence. A lot of the less intelligent kids where I went to school picked on me, because I understood math and science. The most popular insult they had for me was to call me scientist!
Fortunately I only got hit hard once during school, the reason I only got hit once was because I have pretty good foot speed and they could not catch me on the play ground, the one time someone managed to get me, he had the balls to do it while the teacher was standing in the hall outside of my classroom.
The extremists only have influence over such a large portion of the population because we perpetuate the "us and them" attitude. If we stop giving the masses a reason to want us dead, the ranks of the extremists will thin...
Saddam Hussein's hatred against the United States is on par with bin Laden's, and Hussein has more resources at his disposal...or had, until we removed his resources from him.
I hate what the US has become (I love what it is supposed to be and still claims to be). Is the remedy for this situation a bullet in my head? No. Everyone in the world (nations and individuals) should be free to have negative opinions of anyone or anything they want.
We need to learn from Israel. Every time they "take out a terrorist threat" more Israelis die in a suicide bombing. Both sides need to recognize the rights of the other. Although you don't appear to be, I am mature enough to take the first step.
A lot of people don't like it when I say this, but I think that is because they are afraid of what it means (and deep down they know it is true).
The citizens of a democracy are legitimate targets for military operations. We (I am an American) decide who our leaders are, our leaders decide how to use the military, and our foreign policy. Our military is an extension of us, we are responsible for the actions of our country, if groups (Al Queda, et al) are mad enough about what we do, to decide to go to war with us, they should attack the citizenry, it would be crazy to try to defeat us in a "conventional" war. We all have heard the Sherman quote about war being to for a more perfect peace, well in the minds of those who would attack us, that is what they are trying for, a peace without us messing with them. That is a legitimate problem for them to try to solve, and the methods they use are legitimate to obtain that result.
People in the west want to believe that terrorism is evil, because it is easier than confronting the fact that we are responsible for our actions.
Anyone who has studied the American Revolution will tell you that the tactics employed by the revolutionaries in the colonies were looked upon by the British, in much the same way that we look upon the terrorist now. The Americans did not fight in ranks, they hid from the British and took pot shots, rather than fighting them out in the open, the cowards! Just like we call people willing to sacrifice their life for a cause (ultimately attempting to remove the US influence on their lives) cowards for using terrorist tactics.
You got it wrong, the bubbles have a very low heat capacity themselves, it is the formation of the bubbles that bleeds the heat out of the system, the heat of vaporization is enormous compared to the heat capacity of the vapor form for every fluid I have ever heard of... Then the bubbles, now buoyant, float off with lots of heat stored up, they then condense returning their heat to a more traditional, but much larger compared to the chip, heat sink, and the liquid returns to the cycle to vaporize once again...
BTW the flow is laminar, you got that right, but a turbulent flow would actually be more effective, you just can't get a turbulent flow in such a small channel, remember the Reynolds number has the length scale in the numerator... micro-channels will never have turbulent flow with any fluid that does not have a viscosity approaching zero
Isn't the shock strength from cavitation proportional to r^3 of the bubble, or something like that? I would think that with these tiny bubbles the shocks would be so weak that they would dissipate so quickly that no harm could be done...
(A) should be illegal, I don't think that the ACLU is against that, it is b c and d that don't necessarily victimize a child, or anyone for that matter. Those are the aspects of the proposal that the ACLU takes issue with. And I agree with them whole heartedly.
Child pornography should be illegal not because of the thoughts it inspires (thoughts are not illegal) it should be illegal because of the children involved in the production who are not of the age of consent. If something appears to be child porn, but no child was involved in the creation of it, is made illegal we are prosecuting people for their thoughts, and that is wrong!
yes I have, seriously, anyone looking for a pure flight experience, try soaring!
I have not been able to fly since I left school a little over 2 years ago, I miss it a lot, but there are no glider operations near by, and weekends are out due to long distance relationship. I hope to fly again some day.
The vast majority of modern jet engines (all of them I can think of, except the dinky air bearing numbers...) use the fuel as a their oil system and electronics coolant. It is highly effective (actually increases the efficiency of the engine) and doesn't increase weight like having big radiators does...
Employees and contractors get paid with tax money, this is not the big money I was talking about, what I am talking about are enormous campaign contributions from businesses causing the politician himself to have disproportionate interest in those companies that pay for his campaign. the money that pays for the services of the government is completely separate from the campaign money.
I agree with your assessment of the problem, but I think that the solution (which might involve a smaller govt.) is not to shrink the government, but to get the big money out of it.
With big money gone, the interests of the politician are more closely aligned with those of the people...
I don't remember N Korea offering a lot of sympathy, I guess that is where Osoma has been hiding.
There are a lot of reasons why N Korea is dangerous (more than Iraq in my opinion) and should be next, but a link to Al-Queda seems pretty absurd to me. yet we have all the evidence that they are connected, that you required to decide Iraq was connected (common hatred of America), short of the tape, and that can be produced if Bin Laden decides a war on the Korean peninsula is in his interest.

It used to be "The land of the free, and the home of the brave" because it takes bravery to have freedom.

The tape proves nothing.
