I know a large first world country that has done such ex post facto actions even though their constitution forbids it, less than a decade ago. They then siezed gold and silver held by a company that belonged to citizens.
my NSA grade Monster Cable has gold contacts and silver mesh shielding which allows viruses to drain away harmlessly to earth ground, while perfectly preserving the highest frequency components of digitized video and audio
yes, and the human body can tolerate that level of mecury which is less than 1ppm. proven health problems caused by mercury in fish: zero.
fact: most mercury in fish is due to natural sources, they've always had mercury. Note peoples with very long lifespans who live in areas that eat predominately seafood.
Democrats are even more batshit crazy, their absurd stance actually supports big corporations (including the healtchare farce), even more invasion of privacy and even more police state actions, war mongering and even treason in supporting those that attacked us on 9/11 (most Syrian rebels are Al Qaeda and affiliates)
the Democrats have lost their way and lost their mind
CFL: bad spectrum, slow to come to full output, puts toxic poison in your home when broken, needs ventilation or it will quickly die, puts americans out of work.
too bad those LED do a *miserable* job of lighting an area, and only illuminate a *fraction* of the same area at that as conventional bulb, and have weird spectrum. Less light, less area, bad spectrum, that's the three problems of current LED bulb tech.
As for efficiency, seven months out of the year, the incandescent energy output is 100% useful to me.
You forget the fact that when they break, the mercury is there in your home. You somehow seem oblivious to the lead, arsenic, and other toxic materials used to make LEDs.
LEDs only light a small fraction of an area that incandencents do, and they do it poorly, they are not yet a viable solution for general purpose lighting.
we already have more power plants than we need, with idle ones on standby. We only use 13 percent of electricity for lighting anyway, why focus on the small stuff?
but the moon itself believed to have been formed from a collision of a planet with the mass that became the earth. in that model, the reason why composition would be uneven as the moon tidal lock with one side facing the earth that in fact due to earth's gravity acting on object of uneven composition.
words like "communist" and "capitalist" and "socialist" are those of theory, in practice all those systems have privileged elite at top of the pyramid who take away opportunity and rights of others to continue their power, all those have ethnic or other distinct groups that are more privileged, and "some are more equal than others" as the joke goes.
We get most our useful metals from "un-oxidising" them, so I think it rather silly to say in 10,000 we won't have any because they will be "oxidised". The crust of the earth is over 20 miles thick and full of nifty useful oxides we can exploit for thousands of years. We have millenia of fossil fuel supply (unfortunately), plenty of coal. In space there is an infinite supply of metal ore and the energy to refine them. We've known how to smelt ores for thousands of years, so I don't see any barrier to any sentient species to make metal in any future age. It can even be done with the most primative of application of concentrated solar power.
The only mass deaths by influenza were caused by secondary infection, not the virus itself (e.g. spanish flu), so I don't think viral plague need be a fear other than a tailored biological warfare agent. Antibiotic resistance thus far has been only a very minor nuisance to be any real threat, more hype than reality. In fact, most the problem seems to be lack of sanitary conditions at our hospitals, Re-architecting our hospitals and methods of care so killing supergerms outside the body can be done with powerful chemicals is an easy fix
As for the long haul, Raccoons? they've been around for 37 million years. But human to ape happened much faster. Maybe a sentient whale species will go onto land, or another ape species comes forward
Maybe your idea of a "social conscience" isn't the same as mine. For first world inhabitants, mine has the concepts of being responsible, self-reliant, taking advantage of opportunity and working hard so as not to be a burden on society. Maybe you think such attitudes are being a "cunt", but I call them good old fashioned values.

I really wonder about people that complain google is unusable and never gives them that for which they are searching. are they lazy? uncreative? semiliterate? Maybe a well constructed online test could discern the truth.
where's my *DOOM*??? we can't even get a 1 mile asteroid to come closer than 2.4 times the earth-moon distance in the forseeable future. (1997 XF11 in 2028)
China is not a military threat to the U.S. Look at their arsenal, it is tiny, because China is smart enough not to waste money. Just enough nuclear weapons to ensure no one nukes them, just enough navy and air force to be a regional power. No one can invade them for their army is huge.

but we should listen to you and our government
Someone is fucking stupid. Under which president was the U.S. light bulb phase-out made?

That was certainly interesting

you are of mixed racial ancestry, you're too late
if you don't believe me, tell my what regions each of your grandparent are from, and I will tell you of the racial mixing proven by genetic analysis
Age often brings more conservative values. Slashdotters are getting older. Some of us always have had conservative values on many issues.
comets are icy and have tails when close to sun due to outgassing.
Asteroids (minor planets that are stony, metallic, or carbon compound based) can have tails for various reasons, some covered in the article.

No, you are confused. The photoelectric effect ejects an election. Altering bandgap can be done without ejecting electron.

you are just posting competing hypothesis.
