love for argument is difficult to counter with rationale.
Here is a quiz for you:
a. in terms of truckers what percentile of operators died in year 2003.
Compare to year 2003 in space travel and you will find near 50% fatality of operators.
b. how many of the deaths occur due to lack of oversight on behalf of management responsible for engineering and manning of the vehicle.
c. how many of the enterprises have billion dollar budget
And gradually, slow and coldly one comes to realization that a manned space travel IS in jeopardy
That the rate of fatalities in this business, in spite of heroic effort on the part of the people actually executing flights, well above and beyond of what sane people can afford, unless they HAVE to save the world.
That the way the execution of the management of this programme judged is corrupt. That when the management HAS to make a judgment call they base it on expedience in terms of legal risks and pay grade, then respect and regard to lives and well being of people risking their lives in flight. And none of fatalities will ever change it with current crew at the helm because the people engaged in management are covered with granite strong paperwork designed by the most expensive layer of engineers in US - lawyers.
Any comparison is a limping dog. None as demeaning when you denigrate people who gave lives.
Mutilating reputation of a scientist as a way of earning living is an act I consider no less repulsive then an actual act of physical mutilation.
This is nothing new. Fleisher and Pons were scientifically speaking mutilated in broad daylight by Tawnsend.
May be Taleyarkhan is 100% worse it is described. I would rather read a report on attempted repro, may be I will get only 10% of it, I am not a physicist. But there are key points that indicate what is found, and what is missing compare to experiment people trying to reproduce. And usually one can understand what is actually going on. And in the case of Fleisher and Pons there was actually a paper trail, which is so vivid. If you just read it they were mutilated with pompous words while not a single attempt was done to reproduce their results. And those who claimed to try to do so were merely biding time. The paper trail vividly presents absence of any try to reproduce levels of loads, appropriate treatment of materials, and blatant lack of accurately gathered data points.
If anything we can discuss extremely poor track record of people criticizing this area of research.
no, seriously, could it be that the reverse already where we are?
Don't we all get sight adjustment on the 2nd week of life to see things "upside - down".
I guess in the space / time continuum we are near proper term;)
If that is true the fatalist approach just got a great merit to its cause.
So, an irony was not lost on papa then... entirely
I guess google is a victim of a diaper bombing... I wonder why would they not want to side with me... and side with those other guys... fud or not there are things going on that are real... and those things are not protected by law or men... the Google now protects them... this is going to linger with google for as long as they are around and then some...
much trouble is that this was made into political issue.
I have a child and to put it mildly, when a billion dollar company refuses to help in working on law that may help to defend children from porn, I want this company out.

O'lala... sounds like Palin's cleaning lady in earnest wants to keep her job...
