It would output the same energy as the star but would have a vastly greater surface area than the star, so the energy density would be much less. It would only radiate in the infrared and very hard to detect.
Why the hell is AFL-CIO for SOPA? And why are they considered a relevant party to testify? As a matter of fact, why is MasterCard for it? Visa is against it. MPAA is obvious, and Pfizer I can understand (they want to block sites that sell knock-off drugs).
You don't have to have a US standard of consumption to bring birth rate down. What it requires is 1) confidence that your children will make it to adulthood (need to address disease, starvation, and conflict in developing nations) 2) freedom and equality for women (if they have the power to make the decisions they have fewer children) 3) access to birth control 4) education none of which require TVs, Xboxes, iPhones, or automobiles
Almost everyone has seen a UFO, which is to say they have seen something in the sky they could not identify. That is all that UFO means. That doesn't mean that most of those people believe they have seen an extraterrestrial space ship. We really need a different word.
"number of grandchildren" is a better measure than "number of children", but I don't think I would call that "quality". In modern society there is very little that affects survivability or limits the number of children (except in China).
Life-threatening peanut allergies are really rare but are definitely real, and I think the pattern has been known long before the 90's - maybe not to you, but certainly to specialists. It's just public awareness has increased, as well as cultural willingness to make accommodations for such individuals (who previously either died or were forced into home-schooling to prevent exposure).
Federal judges (including Supreme court justices) can be removed by the same impeachment process used to remove a president. Which in reality is very difficult to accomplish but has been done in the past. But I doubt you'll get much support from congress on those issues.
radon: you keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means. The word you are looking for is radium, which used to be used for glow-in-the-dark paint and might be in those rocks you mention. Radon is a noble gas so it won't form chemical compounds an isn't usually found anywhere except the air - usually in unventilated basements (since it is heavy) in areas with high levels of natural uranium in the ground (since it is a uranium decay product).
Global warming is trivial to prove or disprove - you just measure the surface temperatures all over the world and average it, and we already have plenty of data to show the trend. Showing it is anthropomorphic is harder, but there is a lot of evidence.
What you are talking about is whether or not dramatic weather events are related to global warming. That is much harder to prove/disprove, and almost anyone making such a claim is not being scientific. And over the long term it can be proven/disproven, but by then it may be too late.
But there is nothing at all wrong with the reasoning that it could cause both increased flooding and increased droughts. You just have to look at the long term trends.
I think left and right are arbitrary (as is positive and negative for charge and north and south for magnetism). But if the universe has no net spin you would expect a 1:1 distribution, and they are saying there is a bias.
Put me down as someone who would give up 90% of our military budget for just about any decent science investment (or even indecent ones, like a Mars colony)
I like Apple's stuff but I hate that connector. I've had 2 pairs of iPod speakers go bad via the connector (one of them even had a bracket to keep the iPod immobile). It seems rather weak to me.
It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs that’s your own problem.
In the dark ages there were no timezones. Everyone used local solar time, and nearby locations might be a few minutes different. This became a problem when trains came into existence and would collide if you made mistakes in scheduling. That's why timezones were invented.
Timezones are nice, because when I travel I know approximately when businesses open or close based on local time. I only have to adjust my clock once rather than constantly calculating the difference.
Now daylight savings time is something I would like to see abolished.
By definition a troll is not really insightful, interesting, or humorous. You can be snarky or sarcastic without being a troll, if done well it deserves one of the other +1 tags. Of course one person's troll might be another person's insightful, but that will always be the case.
A little Googling would seem to indicate that China has both CDMA and GSM. "China Telecom expects 100 million CDMA users by 2011" is the second link on a search for "cdma china". GSM coverage map shows China, but on a different frequency form the US, so you would want a 4-band phone if you are using it for both.
I don't think so. When you climb stairs you are increasing your gravitational potential energy. When walking over these tiles you are not. I think it is more like walking on a thick carpet or sand.
Rubberized tracks are springy, i.e. they store a little energy and return it to you. Good shoes do the same. This surface would not - I would think it would feel mushy.

GP said "stuff they want to get rid of" ... like nuclear waste ... we could store all of China's nuclear waste, and they'll have a lot soon.
from the TFA (OMG, I read it!) it sounds like he was doing this long before he had cancer.
"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine."
sleeping in the same bed as someone else for one month = .001 mSv (not that this will be an issue for slashdotters)
but what about sleeping in your mom's basement? (radon levels are higher in basements)

Wow, dogs can read!
That shows they did their fair share of dying, not their fair share of fighting.

+1 great car analogy
