I'd suspect that if you compared just high altitude mountaineering numbers to football deaths, you'd come to a different conclusion.
A day clipping bolts at Smith != high altitude mountaineering.
[i]...that basically starts with a pre-conceived conclusion and looks for evidence to back it up, I suspect.[/i]
I hate to tell you this, but every single study ever done works that way. It's called scientific method, look it up some time. See, you start with something called a 'hypothesis' and then you track down evidence that supports it. If you cannot find such evidence, then you throw away the hypothesis and start again. Welcome to science.
It's really hard to keep young professional in small towns. Please from citys (which lets face it, most professionals are!) don't want to live in BFNW for more than a year or two. Additionally, at least in Canada, people are typically paid better in BFNW so as to give some insentive to move there.
With this in mind, the article is probably FUD, it just doesn't make any sense to do this.
This article is so full of mistakes it's not even funny! To clarify, www.amec.com is a British company, on the same scale as Bechtel or Fleur in the US.
The hertzberg institute is a canadian research institute, not american. The telescope is being build as a partnership between Hertzberg and Caltech. Read more here: http://www.tmt.org/
Why? So you can scehdule your disgusting porno meetings? You are a vile human being. The world would be much better without turds like you floating around. You disgust me.
Does anyone else find it hard to believe that the Prius has better fuel economey than the Echo on the highway?
After all, on the highway, the electric motor does no work (since it only operates at low speeds). Additionally, some energy is required to recharge the batteries in the hybrid (and that energy ain't free). One would think that a hybrid Prius and a Toyota Echo would have very similar highway economy.
Am I missing some thing here, or is the number for the Prius's economy padded?
To be fair, thats one of the Costco "priveleges of membership". It's costco's policy to accept returns on everything, no questions asked.
A humourous story:
I'm polish, a friend of ours once purchased one of those beer making kegs that was popular a few years back (it was one of those As Seen on TV products). so this guys buys this kit at costco, makes the beer.... he didn't like it. So he brought the full keg of beer back, didn't even clean it or anything... he put it on the customer service counter and said "You drink it!". costco accepted his return.
Although I mostly agree with you, theres one subility you missed. It has been shown plainly that American's were lied too by this administration, and not about blow jobs and semen stained dresses, but about important things (going to war for example).
It's shocking (and awe inspiring, pun intended) that the majority of americans were not swayed by this. Even then, what about all the other problems, such as an economy thats slowly falling apart (and a 'recovery' brought on by insane gov't spending doesn't count!), oil prices skyrocketing and the dollar slipping lower and lower. How can THE MAJORITY of people not notice any of these problems?!? It seems insane.
Theres ofcourse the security issue, but lets look at the big picture. A little over 3000 people died in the Sept. 11 attacks... with a stat like that, your chances (in the US) of dieing in a terrorist attack were 1/100000; yet people have been so easily convinced that they are in terrible danger.
Yes, I know I'm ranting.... let me finish this briefly:
It's hard not to be shocked at the american peoples choice in this election; and adjectives such as stupid/crazy/bastards/wackos are going to creep up.
heh.... you misunderstand me. The way the RIAA caught (and sued) some major sharers out there was that they saw the contents of their entire shared folder (thousands of tracks). With bit torrent, the RIAA only sees the trackers you're currently connected to, even if you link from one central site.
As for a central tracker website, such a site could easily be set up anywhere.... such as a loctation which cannot be easily influenced by the RIAA (remote tropical island, cuba, sealand, etc.).
No surprises here, bit torrent is far supperior to Kazaa in almost every way.
The only thing that needs to be improved with bit torrent is a merger of all the small tracker sites into one big site where you can hook on to any torrent out there. Suprnova.org is getting there but still, more momentum needs to be developed.
That being said, the best thing about the bit torrent technology is that it's almost impossible for the RIAA to control it. The cat is out of the bag and theres no way it will be pushed back in.
I think you misunderstood what the previous poster was trying to say.
Fuel cells can be (theoretically) used with all kinds of fuel, not just hydrogen. An example of this is the natural gas fuel cell which is supposed to have conversion efficiencies of 40%-60% as opposed IC engines that give an efficiency of 30% tops.
You are totally correct in your opinion on hydrogen fuel cells; however, fuel cells running on a fossel fuel seem like an excellent way to improve efficiency.
This program also works very well for Costco as well as Walmart and (in Canada) Canadian Tire. These companies are not only some of the most successful companies around, but also have some of the lowest prices; therefore, you're argument is not very convincing.
Americans live in an overlapping hierarchy of school board, village/city, possibly an inclusive "town", county (possibly including or included by the city), metro area, state, multistate region, and nation. One state is based on a different legal paradigm (Lousiana is "napoleonic", and has parishes instead of counties), and each state has its own laws, as do cities, which include different details in representation. There are other political organizations which reconcile these differences where all must be counted together. And that's all very complex. More complex than the smaller and more consistent Canada, which is why our election process is more complex.
Canada is exactly the same way. The country is divided into provinces (like states) each of which has it's own governing bodies, laws, executive bodies and elections. This is then further split up into counties (which are either called counties or regional districts in Canada). Then further into municipalities, towns etc... The system is in no way less complex than the US system. We have school boards, health districts, municiple police forces, fire deparnments. I mean, the Victoria area (only 300,000 people) where I live is split up into almost 20 seperate cities!
My point being, Canada is not a less complex country and has a proven electoral system used in many other countries including the UK (which has double Canada's population).
Speaking of complex socities, in Japan, voters write the name of who they want elected on a peice of paper; no check boxes or nothing like that. If that system works in a country of 100mil, then it would work anywhere.
Internet explorer is still so much more superior to Mozilla/Firefox. I mean, the load times are out of this world compared to Mozilla. Furthermore, with google toolbar you can block pop ups just as effectivly as with mozilla. I used Mozilla for a while, but after using IE with google toolbar I'm never going back.
No person in the US is without availability to healthcare. Emergency rooms treat all who come. The US still has the finest hospitals in world and will remain so until someone manages to foist governmnet health care upon everyone.
On the other hand, no one in Canada is serously in debt due to paying medical bills.
As with everything, in healthcare you get what you pay for. Sure the system in Canada is in many ways inferior to the US, but it is absolutly free, or at least paid for by tax dollars. If you want to rely on the free medicare system in the US, your wait will be much longer and service much poorer than Canadians get.
Good healthcare is a right, not a priveledge of the rich, and the Canadian system provides good heath care to all people, and not just the ones who can afford it.
Judging from the pictures....

You really don't want to damage your wrists. if you are a programmer.
Especially after you've been married for a few years.
Anyone have an other recommendations for sites?
Yes - bi-torrent.com.
It's just like suprnova, enjoy!

Hood is the only one that doesn't have a strong case for it. Both hoods and bonnets are typically head coverings.
Well, typically women wear bonnets, so it would make more sense to call the hood of a car made for women a bonnet.
