Which is silly. We all know the actual liberal widget is the debate tactic widget. It has a crosshair for aiming and a button labeled: Throw food. It's best used to show the intellectual superiority of liberals when debating conservative speakers on college campuses.
Hydrogen fires are extremely hot and dangerous, largely because the flame is nearly invisible, and shoots out like a blow torch (because the hydrogen does vent out under pressure).
Generally, your first clue you have run into a hydrogen fire is when the flame has cut you in half.
Hydrogren flames can get as hot as 6000 degrees fahrenheit. That's hot enough to ignite aluminum. How much fun do you think it will be when the aluminum body of your car catches fire from a burning hydrogen jet?
Let me tell you what's going to happen. Any shift to a hydrogen economy will simply result in using hydrogren cracked out of hydrocarbons. Translation: You'll still put gasoline in your tank, you'll just chemically extract the hydrogen from it and use it in a fuel cell. It may reduce emissions, but it won't reduce consumption of oil at all.
No, it hasn't. One NASA engineer, a Hydrogen economy zealot, has proposed this theory, and to make it work, he has also fabricated a huge conspiracy involving both the U.S. and German governments keeping this "real" cause secret while they promoted the hydrogen fire cover story.
Having a bunch of ignorant slashdotters simply repeat a kooky theory over and over and over again does not make it any truer or "well established."
if this ever becomes an oppressive technology, required by some government, I can simply take it out.
Um, what part of required, doesn't this guy understand?
The moment it becomes required, he's not going to be able to take it out. The fact that he fails to get this reinforces the conclusion that only an idiot would stick this in his hand in the first place.
You know, when you don't even understand what federalism is (as indicated by your examples), no one can really take your opinion seriously.

Wow. You are awesome. Just incredible. You use your current computer WITHOUT a mouse, monitor and keyboard? Wow. Can you bestow your super powers on us mere mortals?
OK. Point taken, but you do realize just how LONG 70 million years is? even a TWO MILLIONTHs of a percent degradation PER YEAR would result in total desctruction of the sample.
What does this do to the presumed age of the fossil? The article is unclear, here. Is this fossilized soft tissue, or actual preserved soft tissue? If the tissue is simply preserved, then there is no way that bone can be 70 million years old or even 100,000 years old.
Amazing how asking experts directly is no longer considered a valid form of research. So what happens when everyone tells eveyone else to look it up and no one actually bothers to actually answer the question anymore?
Apparently, a decision was made by the Mozilla team some time ago to build their own interface engine and slap it on the rendering engine rather than using the native interface engine for each platform and they are now slave to that initial decision.
This is universal. When I was in Japan, I often had Japanese people speaking Japanese loudly and slowly to me.
I also had people tell me they couldn't speak English (in Japanese) and repeating it every time I told them: That's alright, I speak Japanese. After about the 5th call and response, it finally sunk in.
most scientists involved are in favor of repairing the Hubble,
Nice try, but the parent said experts. That would be the engineers involved the actual mechanics of the operation, not the astronomers who want to keep using the telescope.
every Republican in office is for "Don't Tax, But Spend Just As Much As If We Were".
Your information is out of date. The 2005 budget proposed by Bush freezes all federal spending and eliminates or consolidates many departments. Haven't you been hearing the howls about how it will starve children and leave the elderly dying on the streets?

Sheesh.
If you don't like it, don't use it, but don't sit there and try to claim some non-existent moral superiority about it.
Trying to be all things to all people is the best way to wind up being totally useless to everyone.
Pick the best way for the most people and make that your baseline. Third-party developers will fill in your gaps if there is sufficient market.
In the case of OS X, there is Drag Thing and Path Finder.

Not even close. The technology is completely different.
More likely it wasn't serious enough to warrant the time to fix it.
Yeah, because it would have been so inefficient to actually post that information on a board in the town square.
Sheesh. Talk about having blinders on. Not every problem requires a computer to solve.
Any Peak Oil we may be reaching is the result of politics, and not geology.
The guy is trying to prove Hydrogen is not dangerous by coming up with some crank theory about the Hindenburg.
What in the world are you smoking?

Sigh. No, the X was because it's based in uniX. It's a double-entendre. OS X, version 10, based in uniX.
No. The issue was that the American colonies had no voice in Parliament. The taxes were an "in your face" expression of that.

The restrictions are negotiated with your contract company. They hold you to those restrictions, and guess what? They pay you your benefits.
This is nothing more than people wanting the PAY of a contractor with the PERKS of a full-time employee.
You mean in addition to the bennies offered by the contracting firm?
