I was taught the correct pronunciation of Uranus was emphasizing the first syllable.
Your Anus?
Patrick Moore pronounces it 'Oor-a-nuss'. Is that what you mean?
The trouble with this is that the word 'union' is not pronounced 'ooon-e-on'.
I can see that you might find the tourists annoying, but I always temper this by telling people that Uranus was originally called George (well nearly - Georgeum Sidus - the Georgian planet, in honour of King George III)
I was wondering why none (or not many) had picked up on this possibility, and that it can't be inferred that you are lying. I just wanted to say I think it is cool of you to post about it here.
I think the problem there is that we have been at level 'severe' for some time. The danger is believed to have gone up, and they need to show this. Perhaps there aren't enough steps in the scale. We need 'like, really severe', and 'almost critical -no really!' as well.
I can't speak for Oz law but in the UK there was a case a few years ago when six men held an S&M session in private, and videod it. The video was later used to prosecute them all and imprison some of them, even though they all consented to the activity.
How come that a music-company thinks that when you "buy" a piece of music to listen to that you should allso pay for a copy for in your car ? Or that you should pay seperatily for having it on (by having it converted yourself to) casette, CD, WAV, MP3,OGG, or in any form ?
Simply because UK law allows it. Here, music-buyers are paying for the physical object when they buy a CD. To the letter of the law if they want a cassette-tape they would have to buy it again in that format. AFAIK mp3s etc have not been taken into account by the law which pre-dates that technology. Currently iTunes etc license copies of music, but don't sell them.
The question is not asking what the chicken's motive is, and doesn't entail that it has one. It merely asks what is the cause of the chicken crossing the road.
The chicken's knowledge of the road and intention may be irrelevant.
If it isn't a chicken egg (and it isn't specified as you note) then it doesn't have to hatch a chicken either, as that also isn't specified.
The egg came hundreds of millions of years before the chicken.
It is patently-obvious! It has been since evolution was observed, Darwinistic or otherwise. I suppose it might have been an interesting question before that, but not for what 200 years?
The USA put a lot of effort in to taxing the USSR economy, by sanctions, driving an arms-race, and by not buying things from the USSR. Oddly, after the Cold War ended, the USA spending on arms and security did not drop-off as might have been expected. The sanctioning of other human-rights abusing countries has been patchy, to say the least.
China supplies 40% of USA imports.
Why should a Chinese equivalent of Gorbachev come to be, if the Chinese economy continues as it is now?
Occam's razor. In this particular instance, we don't even need evidence of mising or altered emails to suspect that email from Iran/Iraq (and a lot of other places), is being censored. It would be most odd of those emails *weren't* being censored, and I daresay at would politically painful for any US administration that neglected to at least filter them for key words, in the aftermath of a terrorist attack on the US if it turned out to have email connections with any of those locations.
Why don't you invest in oil now? I hardly think the price has peaked yet. The trend will remain upward until it reaches the same price as the cheapest viable alternative, whatever that turns out to be...
I don't think that not knowing that file is copyrighted would be any defense. I certainly don't know of any cases anywhere in which it has been used.
Consider this, if a CD bootlegger were selling copies of the latest Britney release, could they argue that they thought it was public domain? - The court might have to decide if that were a reasonably-held belief (or might not have to, depending on jurisdiction), but for a lot of p2p-traded material such a belief just wouldn't be reasonable.
Asa you say 'legitimately', I guess you know that the IP of everyone in the torrent swarm is esily collected. I suppose you mean the legal side, concerning the difference between uploading and downloading. Don't be confused by the fact that the RIAA has targeted uploaders only in the US hitherto. Aside from the fact that all participants in a torrent swarm are uploading, it is just as infringing (in the US at least) to download as to upload. The only reason the RIAA has targetted uploaders with 'traditional' p2p systems in the past is that they can't easily get the IP addresses of downloaders of a given file on most systems. This does not apply to Bittorrent.
Of course there will be an efficiency-loss in storing the energy. The amount of energy used will be higher then without this system, other things being equal.
As usual, a short-term economic trick is taken for a short-term gain and the actual consequences for the planet are ignored....
I wonder why the 'pro-life' movement isn't trying to do something about this? It must be the number one cause of human death. (if we accept that a human embryo is a human).

Sorry to appear pedantic, but I always see Google's motto quoted as "Do no evil".
This is wrong, the motto is "Don't be evil".
This means apart from not appreciating Google's joke, people sometimes get surprised when Google seem to do little evil things. - actually some little evil things might not be against their policy, as it is the overall evil-rating of the company that matters.
(I think allowing blocking of certain search-terms in Google China is a good example of this - the net effect of this agreement being that Chinese people get easier access to a massive quantity of info that they wouldn't have had without Google).
Actually, it probably isn't quite the same as what these guys are on about:

How is traffic over a LAN easy to spot from outside that LAN, and without permission from the LAN's administration?
