This discovery has apparently reignited the debate as to how big a solar object must be in order to qualify as a 'planet', but it is significant nonetheless.
I don't think people should spend much time classifying things as "planets" or "asteroids." It does not matter what you classify it as, it's not like it will change anything about the rock itself.
I disagree. Encarta has been making Encyclopedia DVD's for at least 3 years, and I can't remember the last time (before 5 minutes ago) I even thought the word "Encarta".
keep in mind that serkis's proportions are very different from gollum's. gollum has long arms and legs and a small torso while serkis is more like a human in dimensions. the animators had to move gollum's arms/legs up and down to 'catch' the ground.
I'm pretty sure they are thinking of getting most of the energy from the turbines which will spin when the craft is gliding downward.
now back to the rain example. Say we had magical floating dams in the sky every few inches. We could generate a lot more electricity this way since the effects of gravity are nearly the same at that height as they are on a river. If we were getting electricy every few inches from a raindrop, it would still continue to fall since gravity is very very very abundant and won't run out any time soon, if ever. We would be able to harness more energy from that raindrop than was required by the son to make it evaporate.
This is why the turbines will be useful. We can get energy every moment the thing is moving due to bouyancy. We will be getting all of the energy from gravity.
now of course this would be very difficult to do, but still possible.
Of course that is the intent. Their perpetual motion is a complete farce. If you listen to the explanation (I know, it's ludicrous) they're basically saying you can get more air going down then you can going up.
Please do not post your scientific ideas when you don't know what you are talking about. This has nothing to do with perpetual motion. This craft is not getting pressure by "going down" it is getting pressure from the pressure of the lower atmosphere. What they describe is very possible (although I doubt it will ever be done with materials we currently have access to). This would work very similar to the water cycle (with a dam thrown in somewhere). Water gets energy and evaporates as a result. It is now less dense and rises (no energy is required to make it rise, simply a law of physics). When it condenses it falls. It is now able to go through a hydroelectric dam and create electricity for us to use. If this didn't work there would be no point in having dams.
This craft (like submarines) is based on a similar principle to water evaporating/condensing.
It is very possible that it could generate enough electricy to not require another power source. (very difficult to do, though).
look at it this way... you've just tuned in to your favorite radio station and you hear your favorite DJ talking about something. Sometimes you could mix what he's saying up between an advertisement or something he's discussing for the sake of discussing.
i'm sure there's spam out there that makes it seem like it's one of your friends talking to you (sending with "nick" or "john" as the sender name) and talks to you in a friendly manner about how great this product is.
i've got a few of those, but luckily all my friends have weird names.
first thing is first... fixing problems on earth.
with that in mind, the space program makes it seem like we're giving up and there's no hope for this planet in the not too distant future.
An Amnesty International report has cited Microsoft among a clutch of leading computer firms heavily criticised for helping to fuel 'a dramatic rise in the number of people detained or sentenced for internet-related offences'.
So pretty much Gates an MicroSoft are evil because they made Windows and people use it to go on the internet sometimes, and some of those people commit crimes on the internet.
Christ and Jesus do not mean the same thing. Christ is the title given to Jesus. If you believe in Christ, you believe that Jesus was the son of God on the earth.
Mormons believe Jesus Christ is the spirit brother of Lucifer. The Bible teaches Lucifer is a fallen angel, and that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Which part of that is contradictory?
Mormons believe they are saved through works; entire books of the Bible (Galatians, Romans) teach against that principle.
Where does it teach against that principle? If I'm not mistaken, we are saved through Faith AND Works. There's even a scripture in the bible that talks about that.
Mormons believe there are many gods. The Bible is quite clear that is wrong.
We only worship one God. The bible is quite clear that we only worship one God. And please explain in further detail what you mean by "believe there are many gods" so I know you know what you're talking about; because it's quite clear that you do not.

Mormons believe in Christ; therefore they are Christians. They also believe in the Bible, so all your arguments are not only innaccurate in the first place, they don't support your point to any extent.
don't worry, none of the ones i've recieved were to any real accounts.

and the reps aren't? how many times has the current administration admitted to making intelligence gathering errors?
um..... you just showed us that he is right. read the second bullet again. "Bulletin updated to reflect on a revised severity rating"
Common sense. Don't download viruses. Don't install adware. Close programs you don't want open (using task manager).

i just had my Windows XP up for 132 straight days, and i only restarted it for an upgrade.
there was zero slowage, zero problems at all during that entire time.

AV companies are not and have never been competitors. they are not getting any extra money by doing this, they are setting up a more secure system.
get it right.
the only prescription is more cowbell.

If a u.s. citezen asks a cop to show id in order to verify that he/she is a legitimate policeman, shouldn't the cop have to show id?
yes, and they have to.
Here's the original announcement.
oh thanks michael. that one is a lot better than the first link in the article.

how do we know? because this is slashdot. and either meaning would have a negative bias towards MS.
or just click here then click the first link.
