Actually, that is exactly what I was thinking of. Even today, the feds still pay the health care costs which is part of the subsidy for coal. Oddly, all of our energy is subsidize, but it is only bad on AE.
Coal has killed FAR more than is attributed to it. Right now, nearly all the deaths attributed to coal is based on coal mine deaths, which IS much greater than nuclear power deaths (even when including all the uranium mining for weapons). But what is not added in there is the mercury poisoning that we get. Most of the mercury in our water is from coal. Likewise, much of our acid rains, etc are from coal. In a nutshell, Coal is far far worse than nukes.
The problem with that is the same one with CHina; BOTH have their money fixed against the dollar. That is what is allowing this to occur. China was suppose to free their money in 2002-2004. Instead, they did a "basket" in which the gov calculates it against dollar and EU and it is designed to send jobs to those countries, regardless of the economic situation.
... are doomed to repeat it. How can you learn if you can not read about it. Of course, that begs the question Does the student comprehend it? Nixon committed crimes by lying and covering it up. The dems fumbled vietnam by trying to control the war against the advice of top generals. Carter tried to control the rescue hostage situation to the point of telling the planners what equipment to take in. And reagan ran up monster deficits, had then the most corrupt admin of the last 100 years, ran up monster deficits, and allowed large amounts of pork on both sides of aisle while speaking against it. ALL are sins of W in far worse degree which either means that he did not study at all (also indicated by his grades), or is means that he did learn what to cover up FIRST.
Are you sure? I was under the impression that we have not landed and confirmed all that. In fact, I thought that we have only visited just a couple of these and only looked at them (save hitting one).
Personally, I would love to capture this one and bring it back to the ISS. 10 meters would be a nice one to bring back and see what is really there.
There has been many attempts to steal information from America. It is possible that this was stolen by a civilian that works on base and was looking to sell it.
They should release it on History channel or Discover as well. In fact, I think that the entire space industry could learn a LOT from Musk and SpaceX. Bigelow Aerospace WANTs publicity, but is doing little for it. In particular, they should be releasing information about the progress on the Sundancer including designs. They do not have to release it all. But they need a real following amongst teens and adults up to about age 40. In 5-7 years is when Bigelow is going to come into their own and they NEED the following.
Yeah, I know about it. It was one of the few items on the ISS that really made sense. Sadly, the module is now junk, sitting outside in Japan.
As to the bigelow and meteorite issue, the is a selfsealing unit. If hit by a micro-meteorite, it is suppose to handle it better than the regular cans. Besides, have you not paid attention to the 2 genesises? They are doing great. And Sundancer is bigger than any of the units on the ISS (with a single ba-330 being close to 1/2 of the volume of the FINAL ISS as currently EXPECTED ).
BTW, NASA has already killed the idea of using MPLM for that purpose. Really too bad. I would have thought that at least one would make a great warehouse up there. They could even leave the hatched closed if they wanted.
At that time, the ISS will jump to 6 ppl. It will typically include 2 NASA(America), 2 RSA(Russia), and then the other 2 will be a mix of ESA (EU), CSA(Canada), and JAXA (Japan). At that time, I would like to see the videos of all that is going on. You will have a sardine effect in there. I would not be surprised if one of the countries decides to buy a Bigelow Sundancer in 2010 just to get more space on there. It would be a cheap way to increase the living area and possibly allow new experiments. Say a large centrifuge for testing small life (mice) to varying g's making the ISS really useful?
The H1B's that are here are pretty bright. More importantly, the ppl being let go, many be just OK. In the end, MS will start hiring overseas anyhow. Watch what happens with the MSFS group. Just laid off. I am betting that they will hire in CHina for a whole new team.
In a short bit, they will "decide" to re-do the team. And they will be hired in India or China with MAYBE one or two ppl from the old team. If these coders were smart, they would approach a VC person NOW, about doing another game.
WHen I was a child, the protons, electrons, and neutrons was the smallest divisible item. And I was taught that nothing would be more divisible. Likewise, I was taught that DNA did no work, just served as a map. When I argued with my profs and received a grade hit, because they said that it could not POSSIBLY be more than a map. My argument was that it HAD to do work, because life will always move towards lowest energy needed. THen 2 years later, a CU grad student paid attention to a side effect.
The idea of regs or cap/trade will not work. Something else always comes along. Worse, both of these will simply shift jobs elsewhere. The west is going implement carbon taxes on goods. That will not just equalize products like these, but will also allow countries that have cleaner energy become cheaper to produce at.
I misunderstood the exclusion act and just looked it up. Hard to believe that we did that or that I just supported something as racists as that. I have NO desire to exclude ppl based on races, ancestory, etc from America. My interest is in keeping those that want to spy on us away from sensitive areas. China IS spying by sending ppl here to be citizens but are actually spies. We are quietly catching these ppl and sending them back to China. And it does not make the press. Basically, I think that we need to limit the spread of sensitive information more than we do. A great deal of damage has been done over the last 20 years.
I grew up on a lake as a kid. I used to watches similar bugs (and others). The answer is that they CAN go on waves as long as they are not breaking up. Once turbulent (white caps), then I never saw them. Though to be honest, it is possible that the wind simple blew them into shore and I did not notice. Typically, at high winds, I was more interested in sailing rather than swimming or water skiing.
Well, as a Libertarian, I would tell you that they were never a communist country. China was never a communist country. And if the old USSR had not been finished in the 70's, I would still join the academicians in saying the same.
In fact, NO country is communist. Perhaps, the CLOSEST that anything gets is small communes like in Israel.
That is when SpaceX will go live with crew capability. At that time, SpaceX and Russia will have plenty of room to take tourists. More importantly, I would be surprised if Bigelow does not go live by end of 2012. And in spite of what they say, their Second independent set-up (i.e. not attached to the ISS) WILL be used for tourists. The first will almost certainly be used for a free floating lab with occaisional servicing.
Well, the USSR was never communist. We just call a totalitarian nation that, but it was VERY far from that. In fact, it is no different for us calling ourselves a democracy (we share a FEW attributes of a democracy, but in reality, we are a socialist republic.

Mistakes happen.

And yet, that group already knows how to get around all the restrictions. So who does it hurt? Just regular civilians.

No, throwing out H1B's to keep fat Americans and lazy Europeans in work. MS (along with other companies such as IBM) is laying off over there as well.
They are all simply hiring elsewhere.

That is BIZARRE. She must teach the same thing over and over, and does not want to change. Hopefully, the kid called the cops.

All 3 are hiring out of the states and EU. It is called this is a mass move of jobs out of the states.

First, Nixon comes to mind.
