    Your chemistry is a bit off. Sodium does not form an acid (NaH), but rather sodium hydroxide (NaOH).Your reactions sound a bit like those of Nitrogen (N) rather than Sodium (Na).

    Yes, at this moment oil is ubiquitous. But 100 years ago, it was coal. Three hunded years ago, wood was the highly demanded resource. You're being blinded by looking at the problem from the inside, and seeing only what currently exists. Oil is used everywhere because it is cheap. Were it no longer cheap, an alternative (I can't predict which) would become cost effective and gradual replace oil, the way coal replaced wood, petroleum replaced both coal and organic lubricant (eg. whale oil). This is how the economy works.

    You also forgot that venus != earth Earth has plants, which flourish under high co2/water-vapor conditions, possibly mitigating greenhouse effects. Earth also has oceans into which co2 can dissolve. The situation is not as simple as you suggest.

  8. Re:You talk so tuff. on Programming .NET Components · · Score: 1

    Minor correction: I work for a web hosting company (mid-sized) and we have been regularly leasing/purchasing 1U units from Dell. 1U's are certainly unlikely consumer machines. Then again, we also purchase/lease machines without Windows OSes. So, I guess this goes against both your post and its argumentative parent post.

    Second declension latin neuters are covered in every first year latin book. They are formed by adding an -a, in the nominative anyway. They also have a singular ending in -um, which virus does not. Pilum, for example, is neuter, with the plural being Pila.
