Most (all?) civilian nuclear power produces plutonium that ends up in nuclear weapons. That's not just something dictatorships get up to. Umm, No, most civilian nuclear power plants are light water reactors which means, you don't tend to get plutonium out as waste.
He set up a communication channel with the world because he believed that the information belonged "in the public domain". His actions have been credited [foreignpolicy.com] with helping fuel the revolutions in the middle east - helping individuals living under an oppressive totalitarian regime. If we're going to assign so much credit, then let's assign some blame as well. How many dead shall we heap upon PFC Manning's plate?
We understand how the evidence for chemical weapons in Iraq was entirely & purely focally fabricated by Iraqi ex-pat living in Germany. We even had some asshat put his wife on the no fly list when she was outside the country. Well, there was this whole incident to provide evidence for chemical weapons. And the wife thing is just funny, even more so if the mother-in-law also ended up on the no-fly list.
You mean like the CANDU reactor? [wikipedia.org] A design from the 1950s
No, heavy water reactors(the D in CANDU is for deuterium) have all sorts of problems for weapons proliferation, as such a bad idea.
i'm going to go with the fact that they brought Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson, and Samuel Jackson into this godawful shitfest--actual talented actors with long resumes of much better films. Right like Moulin Rouge, Next of Kin, and Deep Blue Sea("A Shark F*cking ate me!")?
Wow, just wow. Imagine if your coat hook hanging fool had managed to clip an electrical line while drilling those holes. You think it's bad now wait until OSHA runs a train through your office looking for violations.
Most of these processes are political and economic, and are fundamentally caused by wealthy sociopaths being willing to do absolutely anything to retain their wealth and power. Some hacking of culture and society seems in order. [Shatner voice] "Earth, Lenin, 1917"[/Shatner voice]
which I will summarize as that which leads to increased well-being of the most people, while at the same time increasing cooperation between them. By that measure, you can start to have nuanced and rational debates about philosophy that don't get all fucking weird and supernatural. Oh, the old utilitarian motto. So if I get a bunch of friends together(increasing cooperation) and remove all your organs to save 5+ other people(increased well-being of the most people) you would be totally cool with that?
berlusconi, is hilarious. it is appalling how someone like that can stay in power. election fraud comes to mind.
Nope, far simpler explanation, brain-dead leftwingers are even worse.
Nonsense. Taxation is paying dues to have civilization. Nonsense, Taxation is taking from someone to give to someone else. Sometimes it is helpful, other times, we do it just because see Federal Telephone Tax. If you are so keen on taxation and government control of the economy I recommend you hang out north of the 38th parallel on the Korean peninsula.
I don't know what we did differently. Perhaps they're using a low grade KNO3, we were using lab grade stuff, and we prepared the mixtures specifically, made sure it was consistent. Also, we did a very thin, but wide mixture. Additionally, maybe the match heads (and naphthalene?) made it react quicker. Also, it reaching some temperature on the oven, might have triggered it to all ignite at once.
If I had to guess I would say there difference could come from salt hydrates vs anhydrous salts. Those extra water molecules can impede the rate of reaction. Also surface area/volume ratio can affect the reaction rate.
Certainly a first-world problem. Boo hoo.
Since you have a problem w/ the 1st world, please disconnect your computer(invented by the 1st world) from the internet(ditto) and go back to playing your vuvuzela or what ever you think the 3rd world does for fun. Or are you a fan of the 2nd world, at which point isn't there a party meeting you should be attending or perhaps a breadline you could be standing in?
After having read your link in which the US support of the IMF and World Bank equals a full throated support of Cameroon. I say nice try. As someone once famously quipped, there are few things as democratic as a lynch mob. In the real world, sometimes a bad person keeps a whole lot of very bad people from killing each other. See the former Yugoslavia, Iraq post Saddam. Not everybody is ready to go from authoritarian to democractic republic in 1 easy step.
...if you like excessive nudity and bouncing breasts in your horror movies Who doesn't? That is the whole reason to sit through a formulaic morality play right?
My biggest problem with SGU is none of the characters are even remotely likable. I disagree, the younger airman who died in the shuttle crash was likable, the redhead from the alliance, and the large breasted lieutenant. The rest of the people seem like bad stereotypes. Agreed on the Chloe thing dragged out for far too long.
Why not? How is software unlike any other industry? If you're going to go on that old exception about algorithms and "all software is math," then that argument has lost many times and is unlikely to ever succeed. You're going to need a really good policy argument to explain why we should strip IP protection from a multi-trillion dollar industry, particularly in this economy.
B/c simply adding the phrase w/ a database or on the internet to existing activities is not novel ergo not worthy of patent protection. Or for 2011 adding the phrase using social media to share thoughts about some activity is not patent worthy. Unfortunately, the patent examiners have been slipping up and there is no stake in getting rid of truly awful patents.
How many George Washington Carvers did the world miss out on because of prejudice against Africans? The loss of economic productivity from the inventions they would have created is surely tremendous. The plural of anecdote is not data. Secondly, for most forms of physical labor the average man is more productive than the average woman. Until the post war period most jobs were far too physical to allow women to compete equally(obv. exceptions being education and nursing). However, if you want to join the womynists, and blame everything on oppression then shine on you crazy diamond.
You're right, it's just Wikileaks. Every other violation (suspension of habeas corpus comes to mind, among many others) You do realize in just about every war time scenario, habeas corpus is suspended and most people don't seem to mind. But yeah, the sky is falling.

Start doing ALM with metal or carbon and I'll be impressed.
And nylon is made out of...wait for it...Carbon!
