And there are sad stories of people who tried to hunt bears with AK. Bullets often _bounce_ from bear's skull. And if you miss its head, then it's hopeless.
Oh, bear will probably die later from bloodloss or infections. But it won't help you.
Bears (we're talking about big bears, right?) have 2cm thick skull. It will deflect shotgun pellets and enrage the bear, and that'll seriously diminish your life expectancy.
The first relativistic extension of Schroedinger equation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein-Gordon_equation) has been derived in 1926.
We can't reconcile General Relativity and quantum field theories, but special relativity in quantum mechanics has been used quite successfully for quite a long time.
You can use pretty much any heavy metal as a target.
Copper is used because it has good thermal conductivity and high melting point - only about 1% of energy is converted into x-rays, most of it is dissipated as heat.
Lead is NOT a good shield against cosmic rays. Fast charged particles cause a strong bremsstrahlung (braking radiation) in lead. That's also how X-Rays machines work - fast electrons are slammed into targets made of lead or tungsten.
High-density polyethylene, water or paraffin work much better for cosmic rays shielding.
Now, lead is great against gamma-rays. But they are not the principal danger of cosmic rays.
Yes, FIDONet is the name of the network (like Internet).
There are standard protocols in FIDO, like in Internet. They are specified by FidoNet Technical Standards Committee documents (http://ftsc.org/docs/) . All FIDONet nodes must implement a minimal subset of specifications to receive direct netmail.
In practice, FIDO worked over any media capable of file transfer. I received my echomail with a custom 2400-bps modem from radio _broadcasts_.
I watched it. It's S_T_U_P_I_D. It's full of lies.
It's a black hole of stupidity. It's idiocy. It would have made doctor Goebels proud.
It's cretinism and anybody who believed it is an idiot.
Polio is like a sore throat, yeh sure. I wish SHE got polio. Vaccine-associated polio incidence is about 1 case for every 10 _millions_ of vaccinations. A wild polio strain has about 1 in 1000 incidence rate. That's one _thousand_ times more.
So now maybe each other year one child in the US gets vaccine-associated polio with serious permanent effects.
Back in 50-s there were 50000 cases in New York _alone_. And 2% of people with permanent disabilities translates to 1000 people each year.
And don't get me started on her LIES about smallpox eradication.
I'm sorry, but this video is a stock anti-vaccination agitprop. It's stupid beyond belief.
All vaccines are controlled by double-blind trials. And they show that vaccines WORK. That's a FACT, you have to live with it.
Polio had been stopped ONLY because of vaccines. Here's a bit of statistics for you:
Number of polio incidents in Moscow in 1959: 9471 Number of polio incidents in Moscow in 1961: 23
Guess what made this difference?
Of course, vaccines are not TOTALLY safe, especially they were not safe 50 years ago. But by now our vaccine manufacturing methods have improved greatly.
The study you are quoting found a statistically significant decrease in mortality in vaccinated persons. So vaccines work.
However, it also found that some methods of assessing vaccine efficacy might be biased. But all vaccines must undergo double-blind trials which are NOT susceptible for biased selection.
Retrotransposons do not have a direct purpose. In fact, you'll quickly develop multiple cancers if retrotransposons are allowed to propagate. They ARE selfish DNA.
It's speculated that junk DNA might be beneficial because it works as a buffer against mutation (unlikely) or as intra-genome source of additional mutations.
We now know that most of junk DNA is STILL junk - it serves no direct purpose. That's about 60% of DNA. Of that 60% more than 45% consist of transposons.
And: "...the only thing you got was a chance at a bad immune reaction and a concoction of mercury, detergent and some other nasty compounds..." is just a stock anti-vaccination quackery.
Scooters are the most unsafe road vehicles. It's damn too easy to get yourself into a road accident. Most cities are just not planned for scooters or bicycles.
I used a scooter for about two months and then sold it, because I value my health too much.
Bone marrow transplant by itself doesn't require destruction of recipient's immune system.
Suppression of host's immune system is usually required because it is used to treat the underlying disease and bone marrow transplant only allows to survive that.
No, Vista removed the most complex bits of drivers from the kernel space. In essence, Vista kernel now controls modesetting, command submission, memory allocation and GPU scheduling. Also, some legacy graphics functions and some parts of USER subsystem remain in the kernel, but by now they are very well debugged and stable.
The rest (like compiling shaders and window compositing) is done in user-space.

Shotgun against a bear?
You're surely jocking. You need something like a high-velocity rifle.
Don't worry. Crimson Permanent Assurance Co. will get them.
At the same time cannabis worsens memory (that's already been proved). So it's your choice :)
Wrong.

Even better - with _superfluid_ liquid helium :)

Good times...
Same problem :)
I'm seriously thinking about FireFox extension which will stop opening new Wikipedia links after 20-30 minutes of reading Wikipedia pages.
We already have a working _global_ _worldwide_ _free_ network based on store-and-forward protocols.
It's called FIDONet. It's almost dead now, but it was very alive during early 90-s before the advent of cheap Internet.
Kids...
Nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Sadly, it's true :(
Try OpenJDK. It has 64-bit browser plugin and WebStart runner.
Use run "sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin" and enjoy 64-bit applets :)

Ok, smallpox vaccines are crappy.
But we managed to eradicate smallpox with these vaccines. Same for polio.
Bzzzzt! Wrong!

Retrotransposons do not have a direct purpose. In fact, you'll quickly develop multiple cancers if retrotransposons are allowed to propagate. They ARE selfish DNA.
For example, 13% of human genome consists of repeating http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alu_sequence which can cause multiple diseases.
It's speculated that junk DNA might be beneficial because it works as a buffer against mutation (unlikely) or as intra-genome source of additional mutations.
Surprise!
We now know that most of junk DNA is STILL junk - it serves no direct purpose. That's about 60% of DNA. Of that 60% more than 45% consist of transposons.
Umm...
You're TOTALLY wrong. WHO-recommended flu vaccines are very effective. See here for an example: http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/publicat/ccdr-rmtc/06vol32/acs-07/index.html

Not quite.
Bone marrow transplant by itself doesn't require destruction of recipient's immune system.
Suppression of host's immune system is usually required because it is used to treat the underlying disease and bone marrow transplant only allows to survive that.
On the contrary, bone marrow transplants are the cheapest transplants.
In essence, bone marrow transplantation is just an intravenous injection.
