I can't believe that this could possibly withstand any attack. Education literature is filled with feedback technologies for learning, from B.F. Skinner's "Technology of Teaching" to attempts to teach vocalists with biofeedback.
How do you expect them to be able to fix the patent system when they don't even know that burning radioactive metal produces more nitrates than extrapolation from light elements would imply?
Looks like we've got more than 150,000 valid equal rights claims in Ohio, based on the evidence that voting queue length correlates to historical precinct support. I wonder whether any nonlocal Democrat lawyer wants to be destracted by Washington. However, based on the clear evidence emerging from Florida, I would not advise any Democrat with the ability to pay for a recount to give up anywhere.
No, it's not the temperature: the MSDS for CO2 says, "Colorless, odorless in slight concentrations, pungent acid odor when concentrated"
At low concentrations, the gas is odorless. At higher concentrations it has a sharp, acidic odor. It will act as an asphyxiant and an irritant.
Carbon Dioxide is a powerful cerebral dilator. At concentrations between 2 and 10%, Carbon Dioxide can cause nausea, dizziness, headache, mental confusion, increased blood pressure and respiratory rate. Above 8% nausea and vomiting appear. Above 10%, suffocation and death can occur within minutes. [source]
Carbon dioxide is not odorless. It literally smells like pure pain, at high enough concentrations. The same olfactory nerve cells responsible for the sense of smell will send "a sharp sense of pain" to the brain if, for example, you take a big whiff of dry ice. Lung tissue will react the exact same way.
Not directly, but if any of them do, then soon they will all show evidence of having done so. The same thing has happened to farmers in the U.S. who tried to hold out.
Can't just just continue using what they've been using?
There are estimates that wind power will generate as much electricity in the US in 50 years as Nuclear Fission does now (about 20%). More conservative estimates are arount 5-15%.
Extracting energy from the atmosphere is the only way to directly mitigate global warming from increased greenhouse gas concentrations.
Long term, we won't be able to take out as much as the sun puts in.
We can control sea level this way, though. Well, control is not exactly true, as we will probably run out of fossil fuels. Eventually there will be a global goal for carbon dioxide emissions, and a pollution credits system devised to meet that goal.
Of all the alternative power sources wind is just about the least practical for large scale explotation.
I disagree. Wind is about 5 cents per kilowatt hour when shaping services are applied, making wind as reliable as all the other power plants on the grid that are usually idle, but back up local wind outages. Those plants could be entirely hydroelectric if 3% of the U.S. farmland was used to generate wind power, at which point wind would be serving about 95% of U.S. boilerplate demand. Only a modest upgrade in grid transmission capacities would be required; certainly no more than a doubling over present capacities.
A small fraction of the energy in wind did not come from the sun. Anything that was heated with geothermal or nuclear fission here on Earth counts as non-solar. The geothermal portion is what you should start with to find how much wind qualifies as solar. Coal and other fossil fuels don't count as solar (because of the 100-million year delay, not to mention the greenhouse effect), so you ought to use them, too, but they are negligible compared to geothermal-related wind. Be careful, because not even hydroelectric can be considered 100% solar on similar grounds. Although the timescale for the water cycle is measured in days to several months, instead of being geologic, the point is that some of the water also evaporated because of geothermal heat.
Dude, it's time to update the mascot. How about a new Treo 650 running Tcl/Tk, or if you really want to stick with Texas, a new Dell Axim X50? I'd recommend the 520 MHz ASUS MyPal A730 (apparently comes with "engineering calculator) running Tcl/Tk, for optimum number crunching and programing ability, but the Treo is doestic, which I imagine is important to Thomas Jefferson High. I think everyone in your metro area needs a break from Texas.
Your leader is such a pathetic, drunk-driving, anti-diplomatic weakling that you have to rely on an army that obviously cares more about sheltering bin Laden than bringing him to justice. You got what you deserved when you voted four years ago.
Look back in January, the Army War College said, "The war against Iraq was not integral to the war on terror, but rather a detour from it." The same is true today.
your link mentions nothing about predator drones
Unsuprising that I have to teach a Bush supporter how to search the internet:
Fifth Group Special Forces were a rare breed in the US military: they spoke Arabic, Pastun and Dari. They had been in Afghanistan for half a year, had developed a network of local sources and alliances, and believed that they were closing in on bin Laden.
Without warning, they were then given the task of tracking down Saddam. "We were going nuts on the ground about that decision," one of them recalls.
"In spite of the fact that it had taken five months to establish trust, suddenly there were two days to hand over to people who spoke no Dari, Pastun or Arabic, and had no rapport."
Along with the redeployment of human assets came a reallocation of sophisticated hardware. The US air force has only two specially-equipped RC135 U spy planes. They had successfully vectored in on al-Qaida leadership radio transmissions and cellphone calls, but they would no longer circle over the mountains of the Pakistan/Afghanistan border.
I think Rove was hoping that bin Laden would at least flush some paper towels in a federal depository library or something. I mean, Paris Hilton puts out videos. Rove was hoping that someone would find a spare shoulder-fired something or other, not jabber on like an Islamic Fundamentalist Tony Blair for half an hour.
In Afghanistan we had local forces deal with the civilian population, and had/have a comperable number of troops hunting for Osama. The real reason they haven't found him yet is because he's in Pakistan, and U.S. troops can't currently go in there much (for various reasons).
Cheney's energy task force mapped the world's oil supplies. (As well it should.)
Hell, yeah, but if they can't get the price of unleaded under $0.99 for the forseeable future, they ain't got my vote! Damnit maybe if they came up with them hydro-cars, then maybe I'd consider 'em, but Kerry's 'nam uniform gots ten times as many ribbons on it thas does Dubyas. His'n' Cheney's drunk driving convictions aside, that is.
Why not try for democracy?
Look, I already said I was votin' for Kerry, what more 'ya want?
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, that's how I feel.
How do you expect them to be able to fix the patent system when they don't even know that burning radioactive metal produces more nitrates than extrapolation from light elements would imply?
Anything that improves a little bit of instruction in some places ought to be able to improve a lot of instruction in many places later on.

Google won't be within reach of the pinnacle until they index .txt files, directory listings, and anonymous ftp sites.
Not according to wind's growth rate.
The obstacles are surmountable.
Do you realize what we have been doing with nuclear waste?
Thank you for your insight. Please see my posts.
Long term, we won't be able to take out as much as the sun puts in.

Right here.
I resent your implication.
thanks in advance

So, you're saying that wind counts as solar? There is a proportion involved, but it's greater than 1/2. You must be from Colorado?
When I was in Beijing, about half of the stoplights were just turned off, not being used
Wind power could satisfy 95% of our electrical power demands with only 3% of our farmland, the vast majority of which would still be farmland.

Is there anything similarly quantitative that you want me to know about Kerry's opposition to the war after having served in it, before I vote?

Unsuprising that I have to teach a Bush supporter how to search the internet: Newsweek corroborates.Well, in the Clinton administration, when we were re-fighting the Trojan war instead of the crusades, it was easier for me to get laid.

Like those missin' diplomatic and mil'tary relations with the only Islamic nucular power (other than Iran, soon if not already)? Yee-Haw! Throw another Texan into the U.N. and you just see if things don't get better lickety-split. Just 'cuz they hauled ass along with all their predator drones two years and eleven months ago today, allowing bin Laden to cross the border on donkey, heck!
