I don't think he is; not particularly up on astronomy maybe, and a bit waffly, but thats not unusual around here. His question about the Milky Way's black hole's `"active" state` is coming from the posting which stated that `the black holes were all in "active" galaxies`. Now I don't know any more about astronomy than poor stealth.c but I suspect neither do you AC for as the posting clearly states, black holes do have active states where they are consuming serious chunks of neighbouring realestate and I am going to suggest that this state can both calm to relative inactivity and roar [well, probabily not roar in any hearable sence] back to ravenous life. From my extemely limited knowledge, black holes are an integral part of galaxy formation; once you have that much stuff in a single structure that can form a galaxy, you have that much stuff whos' combined gravity is going to cause the formation of a Black Hole in the middle of it all. This critter will continue consuming its' nearest & dearest until it has sucked up enough stuff from the neighbourhood that it can truly call itself a Super Massive Black Hole.
Well, no longer does it have a nice whirlpool like eddy smoothly whipping around it [& sucking up the neighbours], no sir ee, it now has a raging torrent of swirling matter so energised by the whole {pun intended} experience that these seathing clouds now blow away any further significant food from our ferocious friend. Essentially he has stopped eating his own galaxy, and has calmed down to become its' benevolent benefactor, the congenial force that binds his community togeather.
So now that brings us back to poor old "score of 4" stealth.c's question, can our benevolent giant turn wild again? Well from what I have read he most certianly will! When Andromedia comes visiting some distant day [sorry, I'm doing this out of my head, you will just have to google for that date yourselves but doubt not that it is coming], the wanton path of distruction created by her arrival will, most assuredly, cause his awakening.
Now I am not predicting any other reawakenings, but my lacking of knowledge provides scant security against such a situation arrising, and indeed for all I know, one such event may have already occurred 49,999 years ago, Mr.AC!
Being from Rural NZ, where I have *never* heard of kids being snatched, I may not have a very good handle on the situation but you do sound a little paranoid; & since, as we all know, 'Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean thay are not out to get you' I thought you needed to think just a little more about this.
This is not a Child Protection Device, it is for ordinary old Lost Children Finding and marketing benifits. It does not include removal resistant wrist-bands. The "freak" who came through the same turnstile as you, saw the bands being put on and *surprise* he|she took it off your child & put it in that rubbish tin 40m behind your back 20s ago; they are gone.
Now such devices may evolve, & maybe they will be more intrusive, and maybe growing demand may prompt ever more sevices to be supplied vai Personel RFID tagging; but that sounds like a Slippery Slope & as we also know, thats a Fallacy so I think we will be walking free for at least a while yet.
Oh no! wrong already, I have just been reminded of one of our political figures whos daughter was kidnapped for ramsom [it ended well] 3 years ago.
CO2 is consumed in any NEW growth, released again when that growth decomposes. There is very little net plant matter accumulation in any forest over hundred years old > little CO2 removed from the atmosphere.
Existing plantation forests are replanted at the SAME rate they are harvested; old growth [native stuff] forests tend to be NEGATIVE as bit by bit these estates are reduced in size by harvest.
That leaves newly planted forest estates where there previously were none [minus any existing forested areas that are not replanted after harvest]. Now my experience has been restricted to the New Zealand forest industry, but I was under the impression the total US forest estate was still, abet very slowly now, still decreasing in acreage.
The office used to be a coal shed [concrete walls & a 200mm stepped-down concrete floor] & has a handbasin just outside its door. This 50year old handbasin had an inbuilt overflow drain but I put in a flood diverter at the office doorway anyway when I did the convertion. At some later stage I blocked the diversion to stop the rain coming back up through it. I upgraded the the water pressure [increased the pipe diameter over the 1.8km between source & houses] which caused over the next month or so many old water fitting to leak, one of which was my handbasin. I awoke 4am that night to hear water hissing somewhere, so got out of bed [naked], to turn whatever tap it was off. It had apparently been leaking for quite a while cause what with the face-cloth having been left [unusually] in the basin that night & that 50 years is too long to leave an overflow unmaintained, the water had overflowed onto the floor, over the flood barrier at the door & into the office up to a depth of almost the doorway.
I arrived to actually witness the death of the UPS, I was looking at both computers [we leave them always-on] still working & considering if I could reach that wall-plug if I just streched across the water... I love my computers but were they worth that kind of risk... news headline "Naked man found drowned in front of the computers which killed him, pornographic screensaver still working"... That conflict, the 4am'ness & general disbelief were together leaving me standing struck actionless in the doorway when the UPS literaly exploded in front of me. Stung into action again, "Mains!". It was all over moments later,... excepting of course the 2 days of stripping out, drying & reinstalling everything, but that goes wihtout saying.
The UPS is there to protect our main computer & its modems etc.; I don't care too much bout the old P200, its just a back-up box & somthing for the young kids to play on these days.

We draw very clean water from a spring, gravity feed it through polythene pipe straight to the house. One day I gravity feed this water straight into my office to a depth of 200mm [8 inches].
An old P200 tower under the desk was running happily; immersed up to the bottom of the RAM chips! It never missed a beat.
The UPS beside it [there to power the important things] fried beyond repair. The battery ionised stuff maybe, cause it corroded dramatically over the next few days.
Our farm & home based businesses have several hundred Quattro workbooks which I am trying to convert to OO vai Excel but a huge amount of stuff is not making it thru. This has put quite a bit of pressure onto the one who decided it was time to convert us from Win98SE to Xandros. WPO2kL worked after a struggle under Xandros1.0 but seems too broken for me to fix under Xandros2.0. I hold little hope that Quattro will be included in the April 15 release. If it is they have my money, but it will only be for as long as it takes to fully convert to OO; I just don't trust them any more.
Thankyou JebusIsLord Being a failure as a geek, when I converted to OO on Xandros from CorelWP on Win98 I lost my sissors from the WingDing font 88. 1 & 1/2 years later you have helped hide my shame.

Can anyone tell us why it takes 2 weeks to schedule the spacewalk?
If it was an imminent emergency, how short a time before they could get out there? Minetes, hours, days?
That is an insufficient comment.
Forests per say are CO2 neutral.
CO2 is consumed in any NEW growth, released again when that growth decomposes. There is very little net plant matter accumulation in any forest over hundred years old > little CO2 removed from the atmosphere.
Existing plantation forests are replanted at the SAME rate they are harvested; old growth [native stuff] forests tend to be NEGATIVE as bit by bit these estates are reduced in size by harvest.
