He said that he thinks it will take a day for the air that was bubbled through the solution, to reach the top and be ejected. Pardon me if I think that it would be more like 10 seconds (~8,000 times less than a day, 360 times less than an hour). Yes, a huge volume of air would need to be processed, but after that we're talking about CO2 in solution, which will be a much smaller volume.
Wouldn't satellites in low earth orbit be protected against that, due to a tiny amount of atmosphere?
Anyhow... 1 ton sand ~= 90 million grains. Low earth orbit speed = 28,000 km/h. Low earth orbit distances = 160-2,000 km, which includes a volume of space of 1.3 trillion km^3. I guess it might be enough to take out a few satellites before they run out of fuel and de-orbit. But I think it would be a small percentage.
Just set your useragent to googlebot. Very few sites will block googlebot, even with adblocking or sometimes their paywall. This is perfectly legitimate -- if it's not free they shouldn't pretend it is on google to draw people in just to block them until they pay up.
The threshold for being associated with a terrorist and thus a target for enhanced data collection and investigation was revealed by Snowden to be 3. So now the average Facebook user is 3.5 degrees away from ISIS.
Less than that most likely, because ISIS is a group with several people.
FUD is only a bad thing when it is manufactured artificially with no regard to truth. Vaccines causing autism, preached by someone selling a "safer" alternative? FUD. CO2 increasing average global temperatures? Uncomfortable truth. A little CO2 might cause the collapse of civilization/end of the world? FUD.
Hence, "before the official announcement". It wouldn't surprise me if Dice had heard of this policy weeks ago, perhaps as a friendly warning, and decided to sell before they got hammered.
Do you love patent trolls or do you just want to hurt Apple so much?
The only patent troll is the patent office, the one that gives official government right for all those other supposed "patent trolls" to actually take people to court. Without that, there would be no frivolous patent lawsuits.
So, if they conduct 8 attacks per year, spending 70 hours per attack against a "typical" network, and earn 29,000 per year... that works out to $51 an hour, working from home. That would be rather lucrative for some countries.
In no way, shape, or form does any legal document, like the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Geneva Convention, et al, does it say "You have the right not to be offended". in other words "You do NOT have the right, not to be offended".
I'm OFFENDED by your reasoning and lack of knowledge about he 9th Amendment.

Maybe want: *Display more comments for stories with few comments, less when there are many. *Lower mod cap when story has few comments, larger mod cap when there are many. *Moderation and posting in the same story, but prioritizes such mods for metamoderation. And maybe not in the same thread. *Display comments that have been modded up and down a lot, even if at low score. *Visual cue for new comments (since last page load) *Edit button, but treated with extreme paranoia.

Less paranoia acceptable if comment has not been modded nor has anyone clicked "reply", or if it consists only of appending "Edit(on date/time): blah blah". Failure to treat with enough paranoia will result in +5, Informative links to goatse.
Don't want: *Don't make too many big changes at once, especially of the vernerable old ways. *Don't eliminate Anonymous Coward posts. Would just result in throwaway accounts.

Better to gain mass at high altitude than on the ground.
We're talking to a fucking machine.
Cortana is not a fucking machine. But a dildo, now that is a fucking machine.

A friend is someone to whom or from whom you have sent or received a friend request, which was accepted.

I've thought of building one of those for a long time, but never quite enough to actually do it.

Typical. You have no problem taking their IP, but you don't want them to have your IP.
it's been proven many times that a lot of FA's are a fraud who take your money and invest it in indexed funds or buy the indexes.
Doesn't that make them better than the average financial adviser?

Then you're allergic to LED lights, but only when they're on a wireless router.

If I understood you correctly, you're saying that your wife posts pictures of her pussy on Facebook, which you consider a useful marketing strategy.
Now I wonder whether Sourceforge's new or previous owners were aware of this before the official announcement.
