Any thoughts on the contributions of wandering comets passing between stars to the distribution of these substances over time? It's a contemporary question since the comet that's scheduled to just miss Mars (but Mars may pass through its halo and hence catch some of its composition) may be hyperbolic.
Hopefully now they can sweep them all out, from the AG all the way down to the frontline prosecutor. As a warning to others that "Justice" in "Justice Department" is not some vestigal null word.
Below us here will now follow several hundred comments, most lauding nuclear power and bashing all other forms of energy as more toxic, costly and dangerous. All of them pretending there is no geothermal. It happens every time.
Capitalism, communism, socialism: all the financial models and systems are broken now by a thing not anticipated by their models: plenty.
When food is limited it makes sense to limit it to those who contribute to the commonweal. When it is so plentiful that we plow half of it back into the ground to keep the price up, and throw half of the rest away - not so much. Likewise with shelter, clothing, all the basic needs. It makes sense to leave some homeless in the winter to freeze to death when there is no room in built homes - but of that now there is no lack. Money is just a proxy for production units.
We have at some estimates 40% of our able population idle for the simple reason that they're not required to produce what we need. That is a serious problem because if we don't figure it out when that figure hits 50% they will be the majority. It's also an opportunity, as these folk are quite capable and eager to produce. The one who figures out how to empower them to produce a social good will be canonized.
The big deal with wind power right now is that sometimes the wind doesn't blow - even in the best wind power locations. The answer for that issue is a mode of baseload power that can respond to the lack dynamically. Nuclear isn't it because it requires too much lead time. The answer is geothermal, which can overproduce its capacity for a considerable time before depleting its resource and can be very responsive to changes in need.
You use vacuum to boil off a large fraction of the energy of the liquid nitrogen, leaving the remainder colder than it would normally be at room pressure.
This one is a comet, estimated up to 50km. It's retrograde and hyperbolic, giving a good inertial multiplier and ensuring that it's a one time only event. It may hit Mars. If it was headed for us, there's nothing we could do about it.
Great. Now how do you propose to launch enough mass and enough fuel to sway an asteroid the size of Kansas? Remember, it takes 62 pounds of Saturn V to deliver 1 pound of payload to translunar injection orbit.
This dilemma is truly diabolical. The guy who designed it is due a bonus. UEFI puts us on a dilemma with two horns: We can accept it and the vendor lockin it demands, complete with its historical poor security record and the lack of other options. That's one horn. We can disable it and ever after be subject to the question why we disabled a credible cure for Advanced Persistent Threats. That's the other horn.
The right answer is "migrate to mobile" where we don't have to have these issues and have considerable freedom of action that doesn't involve our software vendor putting us in indefensible positions.
There is enough Symbian hardware in the channel for Symbian to outsell Lumia for the rest of Nokia's time as a public company, even if they never make another one.

Let me guess... Colorado?
It would be the honorable thing to do.

Apologies. I thought you meant the 64 bit ARMv8. That's supposed to be out early next year.
Oh, I adore Metro. It's just the thing to catapult Microsoft operating systems into the kind of market share they deserve.
Apparently they're throwing it in for free if you'll take Windows 8.
It's in development. Not expected to be a retail product until next year. Which, in ARM development land means before Christmas this year. Patience.
Dispose of some spent fuel and shut down some unsafe old ones and you can have some new ones. Deal?
It solves this problem. Seriously, to avoid that sort of thing you should be willing to go to a little extra trouble don't you think?
Enhanced Geothermal doesn't release anything into the atmosphere. It's a closed loop.
And, as an additional benefit, it doesn't go boom.
This one is the US. Of course we're talking about Japan which has ample geothermal resources.

We need a new model.

This probably seems like a problem right now because your work situation isn't aligned with it. Fix that and you're good.
Don't help. I got this.

I think that if Windows Phone had achieved 2% share after a month Ballmer would be doing a happy dance on national TV.
