The slot machines have very clearly printed disclaimers that all malfunctions void the entire transaction. They will get the original bet returned. That's the equivalent of taking that defective shirt back to the store and getting a refund. So using that logic after I pour several grand into a slot machine and don't win, I can demand that they pull the machine apart and if a defect is found they'll give me my money back? Didn't think so.
What naturally occurring substance has the highest known melting point? Answer: Cadmium?
Tungsten? And I didn't bother to RTFA(big surprise, this is/.), but is the cadmium part of the paint or of the glass matrix itself? If in the paint that's a problem. If in the glass matrix, unless you frequently serve your guests hydrofluoric acid at which point the HF leaching calcium out of their blood will kill them long before the Cd does, it's not so much of a problem.
This particular problem really can be blamed on the Bush admin. You fail civics 101. The appropriations bills begin in the US House of Representatives. Which party has controlled that body since 2006? The Democrats. Ergo if it were truly important to them they could have restored or increased the funding upon gaining control of the legislature.
Inside or outside of school is irrelevant Wrong. Your power as a teacher ends at the school, unless you want to be held liable for all the actions of the children you've ever taught?Because that sword cuts both ways.
Oh it's well-known that AT&T's Android phones are some of the weakest out there. Oh, it's worse than that. The backflip has signed boot loaders so you can't really upgrade the Android version if you wanted to.
As a foreigner living in the US I am coming to the conclusion that society here prefers pageantry and spectacle over form and substance. Just curious which society would you prefers the inverse?The Amish?
You would be extremely surprised what civilians can do when they are united against tyranny. When India gained independence from Britain, they stood up against the British military machine. Not really an apt analogy. A better one would be English oppresion of the Scots, that turned out quite well for the English(Braveheart notwithstanding)
All Rupert Murdoch news is heavily biased and full of propaganda anyhow. Maybe now the general public will get a chance to read unbiased, uncontrolled news and wake up. Yeah like the fine publications owned by George Soros. Oh wait, no such unbiased publication exists, but thanks for playing. And where can I get my dose of British Boobs if the Sun goes behind a pay wall?
Motorola takes quite a long time to push out updates for the Milestone, Even stranger is the way the Milestone(essentially the GSM version of the Droid) is so locked down w/digitally signed bootloaders that you as a consumer can't even use a rom developed by a third party and get your update even sooner. The way US verizon customers could.
Tesla, to me, seems to be the same old inefficient car bodies with a bunch of batteries squeezed into it I don't know about the Sedan, but the roadster was based off the Lotus Elise, which is a pretty slippery car design. Also try getting into a fender bender with the Aptera series 2 and then drive away.
Methane's lifetime in the atmosphere is much shorter than CO2's, so it's less of a long-term problem. You're right to say that methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, and we need to stop emitting it too. But as soon as we stop emitting methane, concentrations will decrease in a few years. Not so with CO2. (Also, methane is CH4, so technically methane has more carbon by mass than CO2...) Not sure why your reply was modded informative(possibly due to the methane formula otherwise it was anything but) anyways, that whole powerful vs stays in the atmosphere has been worked out thus you have the GWP(global warming potential here )Which states that methane is 25 times worse than CO2. Oh and we'll stop emitting methane as soon as we stop all organic waste in landfills from being attacked by saprophytic organisms.
Perhaps the funniest example of military animals is the dogs that the failed Russian anti-tank dogs [wikipedia.org] (wikipeida) that due to their training attacked Russian instead of enemy tanks. Its worth noting that this was again unsuccessfully attempted by Iraqi insurgents in 2005.
Man, you think you get bad press for child soldiers, just wait until the public finds out about your kamikaze dogs. Might as well hang yourself, and spare the world another nuremberg style trial.
It's the Reagan-Fucking-80's all over again; deficit spending to bloat up the military-industrial complex and slash social programs. Ask the Greeks how great deficit spending to bloat up the nanny state and prop up social programs is working out.
If you are the leader of an up and coming rogue state with nuclear ambitions, you just make lots of missiles. maybe you build 10,000 missiles, with only 5 having nuclear warheads on them. As long as your missiles are reliable, it's a credible threat to the US, as only one has to get through, and MAD rules apply. How is 5 missiles with nukes going to deter a massive US counter attack? It's not like the US isn't keeping track of how much nuclear material a country has. Also the logistics involved with launching 10,000 missiles would allow everybody to see you're bluffing. So there is not mutally assured destruction and a limited 1st strike will lead to complete annihilation by the counter party(assuming you are striking a large nuclear power w/ >100 warheads).
but japan and france have been nuclear dependent for decades, and i don't see many oil spills off their shores Japan still gets 70% of their power from fossil sources.
dense cities are the norm for humanity. dense cities make sense when all you have is sailing ships and mules. when oil goes to $15 a gallon, the cities will contract in size and normalcy will return after 50 years of cheap oil fueled insanity. suburban sprawl is an artificial endangered idiocy Yes, the next influenza will really appreciate you slapping yourself so close to your neighbor so infection can spread so easily. Study some history genius, before declaring yourself the future and (ironically enough, like the wahabists you depise) deciding how everybody should live.
The question becomes: In which case is the rich gulf fishery more fucked? If it's killed off by a massive and ongoing petrochemical spill, or if the sea life is rendered inedible for decades by radioactivity?
Why would it be decades? Are we going to encase the nuke in Cobalt 60? or wrap it in iodine?
You should a child rapist be put in prison for any longer than any other sort of rapist? How is it any more acceptable to rape a 21 year old woman than it is a child? This sounds like a typical 'OMG, we must protect the children' hysteria that clouds and distorts this sort of discussion. I don't care if you rape a 3 year old girl or a 35 year old man who is a master of 14 martial arts, a persons degree of ability to defend themselves does not mitigate the crime. Ummm, see Duke Lacrosse fiasco, and several other times when rape isn't violent and consent believed to have been given. A 3 year old girl is in no way capable of giving consent whereas a 35 year old man could and then after the fact change his mind and claim consent wasn't given. So unless you are prepared to get a signed notarized affidavit of consent prior to every sexual encounter be careful how much you wish to place all rapists in the same boat. See also viral nature of child molestation, 35 yr men who are raped rarely run around raping others. Children who are molested can become molesters as adults.
The huge problem with this argument is where was this outrage when we had 8 years of unchecked infringement on our civil liberty's, government expansion, insane government spending, and a host of other issues. (I'm not going to even go in to your "help" bit as that rebuttal could fill up a whole other post.) Sorry I wasn't alive during the FDR administrations and he served longer than 8 years. Oops, wrong period of unchecked infringement on our civil liberties?
It's a battle flag. It symbolizes rebellion against the United States of America. The only heritage it is attached to is a heritage of racially motivated anti-government sentiment. What really cracks me up is people who fly the flag of a failed rebellion and yet claim to be patriots. Fun fact most of the confederate soldiers didn't own slaves. So it symbolizes rebellion against the protectionist North by the free trading agrarian South.
The trend of everyone going to college started during Vietnam when people needed student exemptions from the draft. There really isn't much use for a bachelors in many fields except to please hiring managers who think you must be pig ignorant and stupid if you don't have one.
Actually, the trend of everyone going to college started after the Second World War with the Montgomery GI bill and trying to reabsorb all those soldiers returning to a roaring economy. Also everybody and their brother has been crowing about how you need college to fill those 21 century jobs as knowledge workers.

cars foster a lifestyle that is bad, bad, bad. I say, ban them altogether; cars are like heroin - just no reason to have em around
Let's replace the word cars with smug douche bags. Wow, I really like that sentiment.

let alone 20,000 years of it (hint: there aren't any recorded histories that you can cite that are anywhere near that old by about a factor of ten).
From article cited oldest writing 5500 yrs ago. 20,000 divided by 10 equals 2,000. You fail math!

That's explains a lot. Of course you don't use oil to transport any of the goods(ie food) you need to live do you? Thus you still need to STFU.
