there are lbm (pounds mass) and lbf (pounds force). At sea level on earth, one lbm requires one lbf to lift, so they are essencially interchangeable in casual usage. When refering to simply "lbs" leaving the choice ambiguous, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to default to mass confusingly enough.
Of course, there's always "kilograms force" which appear to be the best effort of the metric system to emulate one of the more confusing aspects of the "standard" system. Under the principle of "equivalent stupidity" I suppose.
My (admittedly weak) understanding of the law is that it's perfectly acceptable to sell the encryption tech domestically, but it would be illegal to export such a device without the backdoors (or being crippled enough to not require backdoors).
Part of it is a zoning problem. For some reason, many communities for many years have designated specific "commercial" zones or "residential" zones, and never the twain did meet. Obviously, it makes more sense to create mixed zones to allow shops to spring up in walking distance of the houses. In fact, this is starting to become in vogue again, albeit in upscale condo communities, but that's still progress, right?
same thing with "organic." Trinitrotoluene is organic. Nitroglycerin is organic. Benzene is organic. You don't see people running out and eating loads of those now do you?
The "problem" would seem to be insufficient vetting for automated cartographic methods. AFAIK, modern road maps are made from a combination of radar, ultraviolet, and various other spectrum images. Aparantly the bare roads stand right out when you use the right filters.
volcanoes put ash into the atmosphere without rockets. so do non-air-burst nuclear bombs. so, infact, does MOAB albeit to a lesser extent. Think the weapon the Russians had in Dr. Strangelove.
I thought the fact that the statement was blatently self-referencial and had aparantly become dogmatic in jedi culture further enlightened the growing parallels between the jedi council and the sith.
For instance... despite being manipulated by count dooku, the Geonosians actually had a legitimate grevience which went completely unadressed for the remaining film, instead turning them and the separatists into stock villians.
ok, so I didn't say the symbolism was intentional. It's like Lucas was trying to build a house out of straw and accidently built the kitchen to code...
C-14 dating is not used on samples expected to be millions of years old. it is good for pegging ages in the thousands or tens of thousands of years range. There are other isotopic dating schemes which are more accurate over the longer terms (and able to compensate for the "how much of element X was in the original sample" problem) which are used in the millions to billions of years range.
You carbon-date mummies, pottery, and mastodon bones. You wouldn't carbon-date fossils.
Since when did "number of diamonds" become a valid measure? You could spray 1 carat worth of diamond dust and have thousands of diamonds. That'd be the most expensive ever right?
also, why are we still pretending diamonds are valuable? why not use something that's not easy to manufacture from a material that's as common as water? They're not even precious gems. they're "semi-precious."
TFA stated that it is only so capable for "short bursts" but why the overclocked speed of the machine would even be mentioned is a mystery to me. Intel doesn't sell chips based on how fast they could be overclocked, do they?
wikipedia doesn't have an apocrypha. Everything pretty much goes into the same pot. Maybe it should have one though. I mean, the main article might not benefit from those references, but someone might be interested in them.
Interestingly, Brittanica argues that 33% more constitutes a significant quantity of errors, but that means that brittanica's 75% of the wikipedia total is also a significant quantity of errors by brittanica's own admission.
maybe, but if your "personal risk" is 20%, the cell phone might not simply double the risk. it might just increase the risk by the same amount. If it's the difference between 20% and 20.001%, would you stop using your cellphone?

But local coffee shops give it away free. At least MY local coffee shop does.

A little bit of poison can help you from time to time.
Chemotherapy is all about that. (though admittedly, not nearly as therapudic as nitro for the people who need it.)

ALL humor is Schadenfreude. The trick is keeping the cost down for the subjects while maximizing the benefit to the audience.

I think there might still be some question about whether this was intentional or just a natural consequence of the prevailing conditions.
Either way, it makes a good argument for creating barriers to lawyers entering politics.

A BRASS rat. whose composition includes neither copper nor zinc.
MIT's materials science program sure has come a long way...
Incremental backup is not the same as compression.
Althought called "runbot" it's actually a speedwalkerbot. at least that's all the videos show. At no point are fewer than one foot on the ground.
The analogy is flat.
The former statement is a self-referencial logic puzzle. and the latter.. was the latter even actually uttered by anyone?

Moderators appear to have missed your clever euphamism for the proper treatment for "ADHD."
Interesting point. and you bring up the question of how to perform a "double-blind" study when God is the subject...
