  1. Re:ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED? on Mt. St. Helens Magma Reaches Surface · · Score: 0

    Ya know, people like you have nothing better to do than falsely inflate your ego with this brand of posts. Go back to your minimum wage AOL support job and leave the comments to the adults.

    Bye bye now!

    Off you go! Run along and play.

  2. Re:To be expected on Mt. St. Helens Magma Reaches Surface · · Score: 0

    Just because there is a secondary vent of a volcano does not imply that there will be an eruption at that "offshoot".

  3. Re:I just wonder why the government doesn't do som on Mt. St. Helens Magma Reaches Surface · · Score: 0

    That would be like throwing a gallon of water in a deep fryer! Also like uncorking a pepsi! THat would do nothing but make a bigger eruption. And oh, you geoscience know-nothing, Bunker busters would not have reached the magma plume. Know something about the situation before just mouthing off.

    I was playing this game ages ago! I had this on my NES. Those things ran on quantum computing?

    My guess b4 reading the article would have to be brussel sprouts.

  7. Mercury on Fluid Logic Chips · · Score: 0

    THis reminds me of a logic construct made of mercury that would hold memory in shock waves created in a tube of mercury. One end to create the waves, another to detect them.

  8. Difference btw hubble and radio telescopes on Global Internet Telescope Tops Hubble's Resolution · · Score: 0

    Correct me if I am wrong, but isnt the Hubble a light telescope and aricebo, etc is a radio telescope?

    Ah, the kyoto protocol. One of the biggest methods of lashing back at first world nations from third world nations. Go take your anti-globalization kick and insert itforcefully into Ralph Naders anus!

    Well Duh. Are you one to also start a petition to have Harry Turtledove novels reclassified as teaching revisionist history?

    This just in, just for you: Evidence of George W Bush taking bribes from Halliburton is buried in the Mt St Helens Crater. Why dont you go check it out and report back to us. Its buried, so dont stop until you uncork the mountain.

    I mention Mt. St Helens, so its not offtopic.

    Uhoh, the server is either too busy or the camera is buried under debris from a pyroclastic flow/lahar.

  16. this is interesting on Mount St. Helens Alert Status Increased · · Score: 0

    Considering that the USGS is sheepish about warnings, this is not to be taken lightly. Keep in mind that there were erutions after the "big one" in 1986. Helens is a very restless beast, and from 80 to 86 there were eruptions that built up the dome that is present there now. Lets just say that I wouldn't be buying property near spirit lake anytime soon. More worrysome is the damage another eruption could do to the fragile ecosystem surrounding the stratovolcano.

  17. Re:Dante II on Mount St. Helens Alert Status Increased · · Score: 1, Interesting

    The movie is actually pretty accurate in a geological sense. One of my geo professors actually reccomended it as a study guide, allbeit one that must be taken w/ a grain of salt.

  18. Re:How severe? on Mount St. Helens Alert Status Increased · · Score: 0

    Speaking as an undergrad geology student (I admit i specialize in sedim. geo), The 1980 eruption's power had a great deal to do with the mountain blowing its wad after a massive landslide uncovered themagma. after teh lava belched forth, it spewed sideways instead of straight up. This non vertical episode greatly increaed the volcanoes blast radius. Think about a muzzle blast from a gun several hundred (thousand?) meters wide and you have the tree leveling power present. The accumulated stratovolcanic debris is in a crater. Hopefully there is not a breach outsideof the crater. I havent seen any of the vecors for magma movement, so who knows. I and my colleagues are keeping an interesting eye, byut my previous prediction I admit now was slightly off.

    interesting how you find my observation incorrect, seeing how you gave no reasons for its innacuracies

  21. Re:Weapons of mass destruction? on Navy ELF to Be Scrapped · · Score: 1

    Wow, such an eloquent argument. You would vote for someone based on the fact that he is not someone you do not agree with. How about coming up with a difference between bush and Kerry? Get used to having America lord over whatever country you come from. From your opinion, I understand why we are a prosperous nation and you are not.

    Stay on the subject at hand instead of looking for a reason to bitch and complain about a more succesful nation.

    Obviously your comments concerning WMD's getting old is not important to you. You would rather bitch and complain about the USA's nukes than, say, complain about "more pertinent things, such as global warming, or feeding the millions of hungry people in Africa". The reason we have nuclear weapons was to avoid the Russians from killing us all. This includes you. A nuclear deterrent is used to force an opposing nation to think twice about nuclear force.

    This is a non-event. THe likelyhood of an event affecting things outside the crater is next to zilch.

    ...That is the sound of inevitability. You can not stop economic trends, IMHO. You can mediate and lessen slightly the economic impact by shifting economic emphasis, but it is inevitable that the industrial age is peaking and more distributed models are taking center stage.
