What is an odor? a chemical we smell. How do mosquitoes sense the CO2? Do they perhaps SMELL it? Just because a chemical is odorless to US doesn't mean it is for every other life form. What is considered mundane to us may be key to another life's survival; ie, a [female] mosquito searching for blood.
CO2 may not be an odor to us because WE do not bother registering the compound, but chances are, it is for some other life form, that being the mosquito. Whether the "sense" they use to detect it is defined as smell, it can still be called an "odor" if taken in the context of how it's sensed, or an analogous sense present in the human body.
I say just drop the 'n Dirty and that's what you should do.
Do everything you can in (one of) the correct way(s), but as fast as you possibly can. Q&D solutions often reach up and bite you in the behind when you least expect them, resulting in wasted time trying to fix the "solution". Taking some amount of time (but not too much) to solve a problem is preferable if you ask me. But when you have people that don't have even the slightest inkling about what you are doing breathing down your necks... I can see where doing it dirty comes about.
...have flashes of Armageddon or any of those other asteroid/meteor type movies pop into your head?
Frankly, I doubt, with all the global instability about war and terrorism, the US can make any kind of strategic defense against such a threat without the other nations of the world thinking "They're making Weapons of Mass Destruction!!!" And what nation would believe the US is building weapons as a defense against potential celestial bodies that are approaching and not just arming itself for invasion... Britain maybe.
True, we need some kind of defense, but one wrong move and WW3 here we come. Forget about some asteroid or comet striking the earth, we'd all be dead by then if things don't cool off.
Lets face it, you throw enough voltage into something, and you can make almost anything flip.
What if we consume an entire day's worth of electricity for the city of New York in electricuting a death row inmate? Would it turn out to be an uplifting experience after all?
Great... that's all we need from those environ"mental cases". They'll have banned is the volcano due to "extreme environmental hazards". What next, the weather?

I know, yak yak yak.
Yeah...
"Can you hear me now?"
Sorry, that must be in the metric system or something...
So when will those come back in style again, since we're reverting back a century? Hell, when will the 8" floppies be what's "in"?
Complete Dell System with 8, count 'em, 8 inches of floppy disk space for your secondary storage needs!
www.mosquitomagnet.com might shed some light on it.
This ringing sound.... or the odors that attract them to you in the first place?

Oh yeah... what was I thinking?
Though, we'd be viewed as quasi-hypocri.... wait, that's already true too. Nevermind.

Someone that was prescribed shock therapy perhaps?
And here I thought that's what the Blue Screen of Death was for... you know, for running Winbloze.
Maybe now they will use it on the G5 Powermac, as someone wanted to know, to see how it runs. ;-)
Hello? Area 51? Hello?
Oh wait... you meant overt research programs instead of covert ones. I'm sorry. I totally misread your post.
Yes, so true...
*flips out a Verizon cell phone, dons the dorky glasses and...*
"Can you hear me now?"
... wait for it...
;-)
You say that with such authority.
Let's look in Star Trek, Star Wars and Buck Rogers for the clues everybody!
I thought that's what the admission prices were for?

Nah, probably had piss poor aim... completely falling short of those other comments.

Damn them and their information dealing racket... Just look at all those poor "subscribers" paying for their information fix. ;-)
Also, I bet there's an information-access disorder analogous to anorexia -- people who avoid as much information as they can.
And I thought I lived under a rock...
Ah... the true sport for masochists everywhere!
masochists? masochists!?! Who said anything about masochists? Paintball is the recreational sport of sadists the world over...
And while you're busy filling up, those longer bathroom breaks to empty out for the next round...
Is this Extra Sticky or the Original Recipe?
