Could it be a brew of organic compounds that would normally freeze, but with just enough methane to keep it liquid? The methane vapor pressure could be in equilibrium with the atmospheric methane. It'd also have to be some blend that doesn't want to slowly crystallize out the solute. So solubility would have to be high for the solutes.
An Earth equivalent would be honey. Liquid, water based, stable, doesn't dry out.
Chances are the authors have thought of this and rejected it. If someone could explain why, that'd be great.
For folks who might understand the internet a bit better:
firing pin serial # is like an IP # identifying the # is not the same as identifying the person using it. Often people identified with the # have their life turned upside down, regardless of guilt or innocence.
I would love a better term. But since you understood what I mean, and for all intents and purposes it was as useful as a brick while it was in that state, it's not a bad term. Dictionaries show multiple meanings for most words, and we manage just fine.
I would love to take your advice. My phone is an i9003 too. I didn't realize ICS was this far along for it. It's been a neglected platform.
I've had fun bricking and recovering my Samsung. My company bought it for me. But it was the Chinese version. Doesn't play nice with Google and it's app market. And in Chinese. I went with the Indian version, which works great, but killed the ability to change ringtones. But I can always use ES to write over the original ringtone, so all is not lost.
The argument isn't that currency can only have value if it can be used to pay taxes. The argument is that being able to pay taxes with a currency is an advantage. Tax payments are an advantage to fiat currencies such as dollars and euros over fiat currencies such as bitcoin.
As you noted, gumdrops or bitcoins might not be accepted at some point. Partly because demand for them might dry up at some point. But a currency that is needed by everyone, because (nearly) everyone needs to pay taxes, helps maintain a currency as a store of value. For now and the foreseeable future.
In a sense, we've shifted from money backed by gold, to money backed by the IRS. Similar for government debt. It's not backed by gold. It's backed by governments' cut of future goods and services produced by tax payers.
No. I don't need to wish. Nor do I need to wish to reflash with 3rd party firmware. Or wish to run ad filtering software. Or wish to modify program access limits. Or wish to over/under clock my device. Or... or... or.
Wishing is for people who can't.
No, my wish is for ICS firmware to be released for my device.
Since patents are used to limit the number of people who can do something, having a patent on something stupid will lead to limitations on the number of people doing said stupid thing.
The alternative is said stupid thing being a freely available technique that can be implemented at any time by anyone at no cost.
If the Chinese engineers and scientists I work with are representative of the Chinese public (and they do seem to echo what I read in the papers), they are less informed and more suspicious of GMO than Europeans. The hot rumor last year was how a village had giant rats because of GM soybeans. They were adamant that the genes had jumped species by rats eating the soybeans.
The definitions of scientific law, theory, scientific method and other frameworks of science are required teaching in Kentucky schools. The timing and emphasis of each is left to schools and teachers. My wife drills kids early on (and throughout the year) and gets positive results. However, she isn't allowed to teach evolution (not as a distinct theory) by her district. But she is required to teach all of the elements of it by the state. Paleontology, genetics, adaptation, etc.
In a strange way, her kids come out with a better understanding of evolution than if she taught it directly. They understand how it works, rather than just accept it. She's just fine with kids proclaiming they believe in a young earth or that they are atheist. She's not interested in changing their beliefs.
This includes evolution, nuclear power, genetic engineering, stem cell research, etc. She doesn't avoid controversial subjects. Kids love learning about taboo subjects. She tells them to do their research and they go nuts. Middle school kids doing 20 page reports on nuclear reactor development proposals? When only 3 pages are required? Crazy! Not just a few kids. Most of them.
She even tells them to discuss with their families, respect their opinions, and make their choices. As long as they have a reasoned opinion, she'll respect it (she refuses to tell them her beliefs). She wants them to think. Her goal is giving them the education and reasoning skills to make their own conclusions for a wide range of scientific subjects. Demanding they agree with her or anyone else is counterproductive.
56 oz? Bah! Driving through NC, I saw a 100 oz refill cup for sale at some gas station. For those of you who prefer metric, that's roughly a 3 liter mug of your preferred caffeinated beverage (coffee or soda).
I don't see any mention of markets or magic in his post. And the other two parties to the loan and mortgage debacle, private citizens and the government, didn't do much better (what, they didn't know anything?). Given that the government and citizens got raped in the bailout while banks have made huge profits would seem to indicate they did a fantastic job of assessing their risks.
Actually, my original point was that free fall isn't zero gravity. At it's current altitude, gravity is about.94g's at the ISS. It was meant to be a humorous observation.
The argument we got into was whether there is even such a thing as zero gravity. According to Einstein's equivalence principle, there is (for the right reference frame).
There are also local points, near large masses, where space is locally flat at a point. Mathematical saddle points.
If you view curvature as a product of gravity, yes, there is no point in the observable universe without gravity (but points with a net vector sum of zero do exist). We cannot make such claims about the universe, just the observable universe.
If you view gravity as a product of curvature (caused by mass), then yes, there are points without gravity.
What I found highly amusing was the contention that there is no point with no gravity in all reference frames. Which is true for the observable universe, and a caveat not attached to the original statement that there is no such thing as zero g.
Or maybe the system isn't active on long 2-lane mountain roads. Or most 2 lane roads. There might be a few exceptions for some roads such as the ones in the middle of nowhere (center of Australia, western US, etc).

Oh! That kind of tainted!
It does have a very thin CO2 atmosphere. About 40 Pa partial pressure.

Any of these ring a bell?
Do you kiwis eat a lot of turkey? No, not the people. The bird.
Speaking of eating flightless birds, it's a pity you guys ate all the moas.

It's a bird!
It's a plane!
No, it's the joke going over your head!
Not a problem. He's anonymous, so they won't know who to charge.

In cat ecology, cars have become a new natural form of death. So has obesity.
Think of it as decimating the part of the case above the shoulders.

"Honey, what's the matter?"
"You know!"
No, I don't. But maybe maybe a team of scientists using one of the most powerful computers on earth can figure what the heck is the matter with you.
