Are you sure there is nothing you can do? What about just putting a phoney name in the listing? (assuming it does not have to be the same as the account holder) In Australia, we were able to avoid a similar Telstra no-listing charge simply by saying the line was for a fax machine. (Mobiles were only ever listed on request.)
Apparently the humour of some posts has gone right over the heads of the Advertising Standards Bureau. You see, the VB brand has a bit of a bogan image, ie redneck, lower socioeconomic. So when the posters mentioned sluts and poofs, they are not mocking women and homosexuals, but the brand and the stereotypical people perceived to drink it.
constantly accelerate with a constant power level?
No, P=Fv, same as in a car or regular train. At least that is only linear to velocity - easy! Drag is much worse: proportional to square of velocity. So without the vacuum, power needed to resist drag rises with the *cube* of velocity.
Tyr07 , the point is that while you want to eliminate friction for drag, you make use of it for propulsion. Any sane propulsion system will "push" on the tunnel, so P=mav. For constant acceleration, power is proportional to velocity. It it not like a rocket, which has nothing to push against.
but in a frictionless environment similar to space, do we not have ion drives?
Are you insane? There is a perfectly good wall to push against (physically or magnetically), and you want to use an ion drive? That's like putting a propeller on a car. Friction is good for propulsion or braking.
The point is things like planes weren't possible until gasoline engines, very quickly powered flight went from impossible to possible due to one technology and some smart people.
Actually, planes *were* possible before the internal combustion engine, just not economical. It is like manned space travel now, Sure, they could in theory have built rocket-powered aircraft in the 19th century. They "had the technology" just as much as we do now for space travel and vacuum trains, it just was not economically practical.
The "Elephant in the room" is caffeine. Why is society not prepared to deal with this menace, that makes drugs socially acceptable from an early age? 99% of heroin addicts admit to having used caffeine in some form before they were sixteen.
I'm not sure where you get that they are being restrained.
By not doing tit-for-tat retaliation, ie killing American scientists on US soil, or sabotaging US industrial facilities. The US and Israel have taken this way past the cold-war style funding of insurgents.
Like murdering Iranian nuclear scientists and engineers with car bombs? If that isn't war, then what is it? Terrorism? I'm amazed the Iranians have been so restrained. It is as if we are begging them to car-bomb Tel Aviv and New York. They are smart enough to know it is a trap.
The wealthy chinese soon will grow tired of the "common looking" of the houses, and will want to "improve" them. Preferably with lots of red and golden colors. And some neon lights.
Or possibly the upper classes who can afford to buy in this village are just as capable as you at mocking the tastes of the Nouveau Middle-class.
You might want to learn about the differences in types of radiation and their effects in the body.... Iodine is a completely different story,
Iodine 131 has a half-life of 8 days. Fukushima stopped creating it 15 months ago. Do the maths. A fraction of a million billionth part remains. Not that the tea was ever dangerous anyway. It does not grow on the coast. The bananas are far more dangerous.
12 years to complete medical school? How thick can you be? Must have a rich family to be allowed to stay that long. I don't know what is normal at UC, but around here it is six years between high school and medical graduation.

It's also interesting to see how Africa in general seems to be steadily rising towards a more developed continent.
Surely you must be talking about plate tectonics there.

OK then, England.
How are they *not* mocking women and homosexuals?
It is cally parody. Parody of bogan VB drinkers in this case. I suggest you consult the works of Sacha Baron Cohen.
Since I'm from Europe I'd like to add: Kudos to the people of the US for funding it!
And a special thanks for sticking with the metric system this time.

(although it explains a lot about why we had to fight a devastating civil war in order to free slaves).
If you think the civil war was really about freeing slaves, I have a WMD to sell you.
And if I break the window and swipe the TVs at the local electronics shop I've proven how lousy their security is.
I guess the TV shops should not store their cash and finacial records in the window display at night then. I think they know that already.

In a related announcement from Ottawa, Canadian Aboriginals will henceforth be known as "First, Second and Third Nations Peoples".
It is only 1.5 times more common for Kim to female than male, according to gpeters. So if you take hundred Kims, 40 of them are male.
But most of them are Korean, so it can be hard to tell.
OS X is Unix which is all Linux is pretending to be.
Linux Is Not UniX
Linux is Linus's Unix. GNU is Not Unix.
They "discover" it by looking exactly where is predicted? That is like me getting on an Air France jet, and "discovering" Paris.

Well, he was a hundred years old. Did they try giving him Viagra(tm)?
