it's a haircut, or lack-thereof. joking aside this is fascinating. The twinning rate for normal pregnancies (non injected or extra-hormone pumped ones) is pretty low, what 2%? and there's few things that will influence this. they could be chugging hormones.
absolutely, and I'm roughly parallel to Lake Erie with possibly worse weather than Ohio, the argument above isn't about normal solar cells, it's about 99% efficient magical solar cells made from, apparently, alien technology gathered from Area 51.
Who knows, maybe 99% efficient will happen with carbon nano tubes and pixie dust.
How much electricity do I need in my home? http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/ask/electricity_faqs.asp says the 2007 average was 936 kWh per month. I'll say I'm average in that respect with a gas furnace and clothes dryer.
that's 11,232 kWhs per year?
At my location, upstate NY on a line from Buffalo to Albany, at 99% efficiency, I would need one 10'x10' panel to generate 13,938 kWhr/year.
So, there you go, Yes, I would like one 12'x12' 99% efficient solar cell (larger than I need, to cover for growth and storing for a rainy day), and really, the cost is important so I would like it for free.
5) shorter than the person next to them... I've seen that scenario played out quite often. They're not paying attention, don't look around the taller obstacle, and when the taller person stops short, the shorter one keeps going only to be bounced off the train like a super-ball. Personally, I see it with kids several times a week (minus the train part) and have to throw my arm out and remind them to not rely on someone else's movement as indicative of relative safety.
snobbery is hardly a surprise coming from NPR or violin players, either group has a certain tendency towards that behavior.
My fiddle instructor couldn't tell the difference between my 200 year old German fiddle and my 10 year old Chinese fiddle... It could be that his hands were over his ears the whole time, or the medication, not sure which.
who know how true but the story I've heard oft repeated is that boiled horse hair makes better sutures, so someone decides to order all horse hair for sutures boiled. Some gets boiled hours before in batches, some gets boiled immediately before using. Fast forward few thousand more infection related deaths and someone takes note of the radical change in infection rates between those soldiers sutured with recently boiled horse hair versus those sutured with unboiled or previously boiled horse hair.
Can't exactly make observations like that in peace time I suppose.
typo asside, There was more wrong with the South than just slavery, just as was quite a bit of screwing up in the North as well. If I had to point one finger on the pulse, I would say "the presumption of authority."
Modern society would do well to learn the lessons from the 1800s.
the point still stands, MD was a border state, a slave state, and not 100% on the union side. When troops moved through to defend Washington, they were fired on.
Technically, yes. There's nothing in the constitution that denies Bill Gates the right to own a nuclear weapon is there? Nothing even close. I suppose you can interpret the private ownership of WMDs to be unconstitutional because of their definition of mass-destruction, thus by their existence in private hands violating other citizen's right to liberty.
And now to nitpick; The Civil War was hardly a bitch-slapping. It was the single bloodiest event in US history, out classing (in sheer destruction) all other wars thus-far combined.
It could have fallen on either side at many different stages of the war. Had Davis pushed into Washington first-thing, it would have been over before it started (as DC was relatively undefended) Or had Lincoln's generals not been a bunch of screw-ups etc. And, of course, the almost million dead between direct conflict, starvation, disease etc again, a little more than a bitch slap.
Now, whiskey rebellion, fine, or even prior to that when Massachusetts or Maine threatened to secede, or Delaware considered joining the Confederacy, or (as in an above post, MD) those were mere bitch-slaps. Man, those whiskey rebellion dudes really were push-overs.
the Union Army pointed guns at Baltimore because Baltimore was a crucial border state that wasn't falling 100% on the right side of the war. There were plenty of riots, troop assaults, insurrection etc in MD immediately prior to the outbreak of the Civil War and during the first few months as Lincoln called up volunteers to more than justify putting down the state by force.
fundamentalist Christians don't believe in translation from Old Testament to common law. They believe the new testament freed them from having to follow the law of the old testament, hence non kosher diets and not stoning your daughter for being raped. Attend a fundamentalist church and ask them what they think.
Now Islam, on the other hand, the old skool laws are still in effect, you can gleefully stone your children for being raped or gay or whatever.
don't underestimate the power of human desire for longevity. If it's possible, and people will pay for it, there certainly will be human parts farms consisting of whole bodies from which owners draw spares. Just give it some time.
Wasn't there a movie about this?
Anyway, yes, it'll happen. The only catch is the brain, if you can grow the bodies without one, there won't even be objections to having such a factory in your neighborhood. Imagine all the automobile plants converted to organ farms.
so EM radiation produced by things like phones and wireless microphones has harmonics like ripples in a pond? never knew that, I'll have to check it out. I always assumed 900mhz was just that.
the data and it's sources are confidential because the data is flawed, the sources are poorly placed, the organizations behind it have tax money to receive and a vested interest in ensuring the data provides wallet-lining cash. This goes from the researchers in the field placing the sensors to the politicians driving the studies from the back seat.
I gotta agree with the ZFS/Solaris recommendation. That combo was significantly higher performing in our environment where we use it to write with dozens of parallel threads to backup billions of small files, compressed small files, almost like a WORM array. It beat the pants off ext3, ext4, xfs and reiserfs especially for parallel write speeds.
ah I get it now, I was assuming that any speculator was fair game, while you're referring to only people who exploit well-known names, trademarks and whatnot.
Yes, those who squat need to be burned at the stake until medium rare.

could a 99% efficient solar cell even provide enough electricity to cool/warm/light my home? Of course, but how large of a setup would one need?
Let's see.
according to http://www.wunderground.com/calculators/solar.html I have no idea what I'm talking about.

and what, pray tell, would those be?
go home, watch the fever, drink fluids, rest
just like any other flu?
no, obviously millions of people weren't killed in the US Civil War.
Revised: the bloodiest event in US History even if you included all US Casualties from all other wars in which the US fought combined.
Even WW1 and WW2 aren't the bloodiest if you include all casualties.
What, 50 million died in China during the purges after the commies took over? That beats both big wars combined no?

naw, the Truman Show had a digested daily version as well as a live feed version, we would do the same here.
Several US states have 80 MPH limits and mere painted lines dividing the lanes, a closing speed of 160MPH isn't hard to find.

except if the term is generic, or a verb, or phrase.
buy flowers
buy cars
used cars
none of those phrases "belong" to anyone.
