I have no clue what it is that you tried to say. Apparently you think that we should encourage people to do dangerous things or atleast to make sure that those things stay as dangerous as possible in order to facilitate your version of evolution? So that the fittest can survive? You do know that is only one aspect of evolution? By encouraging people to do something like rock climibing in order to seperate the wheat from the chaff is ludicrous. It could be a very large possibility that people who can survive something like plauges might be the next step in evolution. It might not be the survival of the strongest muscles, but the survival of the strongest immune systems.
So in that case, let's give everyone AIDS and let those of us with the strongest immune systems stay alive! How does that sound?
While it is true that in formula one the level of safety does allow people to do stupid things like push other cars off the road. The truth is though, now people go off the track into huge run off areas. BEFORE people would push cars off the track and they would run into the tree that would be RIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. When you look back at to how people used to race, you wonder how the hell they stayed alive.
I've heard of stories of the Pre-war races when the cars had no seatbelts. They hadn't been invented yet. Instead they used hand grips beside the seats. I believe it was the story of Nuvolari who was racing when he raced over a bump and the mechanics hand grips ripped off and he went flying. He landed on the back of the car. The driver, Nuvolari grabbed him by his pant leg with one hand, and kept on steering with the other. He wouldn't stop the car! Racing was that important. That's insane! Are you saying that we should go back to that?
I say let's keep making racing safer. I sure as hell enjoy racing, and I always get a rush out of it. I don't see how one couldn't. But I really don't __WANT__ to die nor do I want to make things more dangerous to make things more interesting.
All news outlets slant the truth. Why is this concept so difficult for people to get?
By your standard, every news outlet that has ever done any story that wasn't completely factual is evil.
Or is your point that SOME lying is ok, but Fox just lies too much for your delicate sensibilities?
It is true that it's impossible to have a non-biased news cast. The difference is that other news casts try to eliminate that as much as possible. There is a large attempt to show both sides of the argument, and to let the viewer make up there own decision. That is standard news, and is an attempt to be as non-evil as possible.
Fox news on the other hand only shows one side of the argument, distorts the truth, and trys to make up the viewers mind for them. That is a very far from being fair and balanced, and is quite EVIL. Any other news outlet that does something similar is also being evil.
Why is this concept so difficult for people to get?
I agree with you somewhat. The problem goes much deeper though.
This is more then poorly laying out a website. The goal is to mix view points and news. They put the opinion piece in the views section, but they purposely label it a story.
It's been pointed out how these people spread lies but are still within the letter of the law to do so. The big one is the "some say" argument. In this article it is:
"Some have suggested that the policy would violate the Americans with Disabilities Act (search)."
It's the "Open documents are even against the law" argument. Who said that? A group of people have said that, or maybe even a single person named Some.
There is deffinately an effort here to misguide the reader into believing lies. That is what makes Fox News evil.
Although, some say that the main course meal at Fox News corporate lunches is human fresh fetuses forcabely removed from pregnant women, followed down by a tall glass of freshly squeezed starving third world child blood.
It just seems like a great use of nuclear ability. I mean, space, nuclear reactions, the two just go so well together, like peanut butter and...and whatever else goes really well with peanut butter.
I believe the answer you were looking for was "jam" skip.. yes.. Peanut butter goes well with... *long drawn out pause*.. jam.
I was thinking that with this sort of 'anchor' you could use thinner tiles, or maybe even a painted on tile that would be lighter. Also the weight wouldn't have to be that heavy. Hopefully with not having to cover the whole entire underbody of a ship with tiles, you could save weight. The anchor could also be designed to give the right amound of drag.
The idea would be to have something like a ceramic anchor taking the beating and heating of re-entry and not the tiles below your feet.
Then again, I'm no engineer, so you may very well be right that this would add extra weight.
I've had this whacky idea for re-entry but I doubt it will work, so hopefully people can tell me why it would be a bad idea.
My crazy idea would be to slow down the vehicle while it's not in the atmosphere. This is where it gets whacky. I imagined a shuttle that would let out a ceramic weight made out of the same material as the shuttle tiles and have it attached to the vehicle with a tether which would also have to beable to withstand the heat. This weight would interact with atmosphere and slow down the vehicle while the vehicle would have the benefit of slowing down and not heating up as much as the weight.
When is the last time of the day that you drink coffee, and how much do you consume? I know you and your doctor have probably gone over this, but you might want to take a good look at it. My mother who regularly drinks 3-4 cups of tea a day started having problems sleeping. She was becoming an insomniac like yourself, where she wouldn't fall asleep until the early morning.
She would take Melatonin which is aparently a "natural" chemical in the body that is released to make it sleep. I convinced her to stop drinking tea after 3pm. She now has no problems sleeping, and has no need for the pills.
You may want to try exercise and smoking a lot of weed. The exercise will help you get tired, and also burn off all of the fat you will absorb when you order pizza every night after smoking up. It is sure to knock you out, but then again I've never had an insomnia problem. So take my advice for what it is.
I read the f-ing a. You are correct, they are the same thing. Although in the article the fact that the stem cells still contained chrmosones from the host was considered a negative. They want to create stem cells that can be used like medicine and be injected into anybody, without fear of rejection.
I don't understand why this was a negative either. Couldn't they just use my cells as a host so that they will be perfect for me?
There is no place on a f1 car to "test" them out. Considering that f1 cars produce more then twice there weight in downforce they would not want to use them on the wings. If a car is going around a corner and suddenly a wing rips apart then that car is now going into a wall. Not safe.
The engineers that work with composite material in formula 1 are some of the best in the world. They use carbon material for the housing of the transmission instead of metal. Well they really made it half metal / half carbon which is the major challenge.
If this material gets green lighted for formula 1, then you will see it in every single place possible.
That is unless the FIA decides to only allow them to use it for spoilers and the such like you sudgested.
This would be interesting to see considering that the chassis for next year are already well in the design stage.
Plus they would also have to get the material approved to show that when they collide with something it should shatter into millions of tiny particle like the current carbon fiber does.
Then there is the actual testing of the fuselages to get them all approved.
I would really love to see it, but there is also the fact that the cost of running an f1 team is going up and up. While the organisers of the series are trying to constantly reduce the cost. It's sad but I can see them possibly banning this material today.
Regardless if you are killing for christ or killing for your home land, killing is simply wrong in the eyes of the church. This is plainly obvious for people in our congregation and it doesn't need to be said. I can understand why you would say that it's important to talk about it because if you don't the killers are tempting people into sin. The thing though is that murder is so horribly wrong, that how can it tempt you. Or rather how can it tempt you to be cold or mean to gay people when the priest is up there every weekend talking about how it's important to be a good person and loving regardless of the people areound you. Also in Toronto, our area is so diverse that you learn how easy it is to be respectfull of people that are different. It's not unusual to see a Catholic school and a Muslim temple right beside each other.
Priests faily horribly in providing entertainment on Sunday mornings. Church is one of the most redundant and boring things to sit through. The one part of the mass that changes from weekend to weekend is the priest's sermon. That is his opportunity to get people excitied and provide that Godly entertainment. They all fail miserably.
Typically in church, the priest does a reading from the bible and then talks about that reading and how it relates to real life.
They amble on for a little while, while everyone just nods there heads as the words go in one ear and out the other.
In my church I haven't seen much talk about war. It's usually known that war is not right, so there is not much to talk about. It would also suck if you went to church every sunday and the priest was talking about the raping that was in the paper, the murders, etc, etc...
Although there is one memorable time where my priest totally diverted that to talk about an issue that was in the local news about gay marrige. It was really interesting becuase I didn't know what side he was going to take.
Instead of talking about how homosexuality is wrong he instead talked about how the church currently denies marriges. If you've been divorced then you can't get married in the church. If you don't go to that church enough, then they are not supposed to allow you to get married. If you are gay, they won't marry you either. He totally reinforced the seperation of church and state, which blew my mind.
I was speaking to him after the mass and one of the interesting things was that the Bishop in the area was very animate that his priests talk about the evils of gay marrige. Then when one of the priest went on TV to do the exact opposite and talked about how the laws passed by the government didn't matter because the church wouldn't change it's policy on gay marrige. That priest almost got kicked out of the church.
It's an example that shows that the power of the church doesn't always rely on the pope.
I believe I heard one news reporter say that it "could" act like a torch. I'm guessing that because it's cloth it could direct a bunch of heat on renetry into a specific location like a blow torch. Which could cause a hole in the tile and then into the underside of the shuttle, which would be, ummmm.... bad.
Although like many others have said, this has probably happend before and only because of all the examination we've done on the shuttle are we noticing it now.
Apparently there is a video floating aroud the net of her dressed up as Michael Jackson and singing bad with the groin thrusts and everything.
..shudder..
But look at it this way. She moved to States and is now singing in Las Vegas. This makes Quebec 100% Celine Dion free, and makes Las Vegas 0% Celine Dion free. This makes Montreal a much better place to visit then Las Vegas.
Although it could be argued that because Celine was from Quebec that there are probably more people like her there. This is very much not true, as everybody knows that Celine Dion is a genetic mutation the likes of which Darwin would be very proud of. So there can't be more people like Celine in Quebec.
Everything I've experienced when I go to Montreal is amazing. Montreal is a very relaxed / cultural / party city. People there are friendly, easy to talk to, don't take themselves serious. It's very similar to europe where it's more about slowing down to smell the roses then it is about working so hard that life passes you by.
The food is amazing! I don't get it. In the states everything is deep fried. Everyone is fat because all they eat is greasy food. The French in Canada created Poutine. French fries, cheese curds and gravy. It's a heart attack in a single dish, and it is just so amaizingly tasty. It's what every Mc Donald's eating american dreams for. I think French food alone would make people fall in love with them.
Last but not least is the French women. They are very beautifull, and with cities like Montreal where the people are very relaxed, the women too are very friendly and aproachable.
If foam falls off seconds after take off, the shuttle is already flying at extrordinary speed. It's foam, it has very little mass, and as soon as it breaks off there is little energy keeping it moving in the same direction. As soon as air resistance grabs a hold of it, it moves blindingly fast compared to the rest of the ship.
At ground level, they would fall a lot slower. Air resistance would actually be slowing the foam down instead of speeding it up.
I agree with you. It kind of reminds me of this demo from the Raskin Centre of Humane Interfaces. That demo just demonstrates a concept. I imagine that future user interfaces will be 3d and more like space, while open croquet shows portals on a plain.
I think that any current application in croquet has to use that portal type structure. No current applications are designed to work in a 3d environment, but what happens when they start designing in a 3d environment. I can imagine slashdot where you can read the homepage and look over the edge of it to see the further pages inside of it.
The only way that I can describe it is like this: Instead of blindly cliking on a link on a website, with a 3d interface you should be able to see where that link goes to first before you click on it. It is like walking down a hall and being able to pear into rooms before you enter them.
I think the 3d environment is going to be a great way to organize information, and is going to be more usefull for navigating that informaiton.
Also imagine getting videos where they come in 3d, just like princess leah being projected by r2d2.
Also the idea of sharing a space with your friends/co workers where you can both work on the same project is just amaizing.
Then with the invention of the holographic monitor it would be even more amaizing. BAH!!!! I can't wait!!!
and it started off with them sellling cattle. I got the impression that the show was about futuristic cattle ranchers and never watched it again.
Although I love Joss Whedon's work on shows like Angel which was dark and as soon as you thought the show was pradictable and boring it would throw you curveball and completely change.
After seeing the trailer for this, I really want to see this movie.
Oh no. I can just hear the lobbies trying to convince the president now.
"Mr. President, sign this reform for all of the hard working farmers of this great nation. That extra hour a day for two months will surely help them out with growing all of those plants!"
Then Bush will give a speech about how he's added an extra hour a day of sunlight to the country to help out all of those farmers.

Just because they are the only news company in the world that mixes opinion editorials and news seamlessly doesn't mean anything.
