Good point! (I'm in Canada)
But every time I see one of these idiot TV thingees about masses of electrons flying out from the Sun, they always seem to show them being attracted to the Northern Hemisphere. Why is this?
Do you really get to see the Southern Lights like we do?
Does maybe the South Pole just get a shitload of positrons instead? (that might make it even more dramatic!)
All kidding aside, just why is this?
Incredible as it may seem to people of the US, North America also includes Mexico.

I'm sure millions of Mexicans will certainly be up late tonight to see this magnificent polar event

I hope that an easy text will be developed from this in the next few years. I couldn't imagine walking into a haze of Alzheimer's without knowing about it. This is one of those tests that I will ABSOLUTELY not be missing once I book it in.
Ummm.. don't you remember?
You had one of those tests last week. You told me so.
Gasoline burns hotter than hydrogen, but thanks to the Hindenburg crash video, we don't have hydrogen cars either.
Gasoline burns, hydrogen explodes. There's a difference. And the issues with hydrogen cars are a multi-paragraph post that I don't feel like writing right now, but (lousy energy density, present impossibility of storage, no infrastructure) are the main reasons, not lingering Hindenburg memories.
Who on earth modded GP Insightful?
Wrong and Wrong.
Gasoline explodes AND Hydrogen explodes.
Gasoline burns AND Hydrogen burns.
E.G.- Gasoline EXPLODES inside your Car's IC engine. Surprise! That is how a gasoline engine works.
But you can burn it on a wick- but you had better be careful when the flame creeps down to the container of gasoline and air. That's why we don't use gasoline in coal-oil lanterns.
As well, Hydrogen will burn, if it is controlled by a small nozzle such as a welder's torch.
And- Why we do not use Hydrogen in cars? IT's TOO DAMN EXPENSIVE! And hard to make and control!
Gasoline is quite easy to make from Catalytic crackers. You can do this to make Hydrogen also, but whats the point?
You are still stuch refining fossil fuels. AND AND- Hydrogen is a shitload harder to store and control than Gasoline!
And guess what? At STP, there is much more hydrogen in a gallon of gasoline, than in a gallon of hydrogen. Figure THIS one out!
I haven't read Scientific American lately.. Are BMW and Shell still inserting those ridiculous "Hydrogen Cars - The FUTURE!" advertisements? The SciAm ad agency must be giggling all the way to the bank...
Once, a long time ago, in my foolish youth, when extremely inebriated one night, I had just such an embarrassing occurrence.
Staggering into work the next morning, I managed to tell my boss what had happened:
Me: I got so pissed last night that I blew Chunks
Boss: That's OK! We all get pissed that bad some days.
The article does state that you need 5 of 7 to restore.
So if three of them should happen to suffer an unfortunate "accident", everything is totally screwed?
YES! But I say we get all seven, just to be sure!
And, perhaps Al Gore also, for starting this jimcrackery in the first place.
Frankly, I'm tired of this interweb nonsense with all its tubes.
I would like to get back to my productive REAL-WORLD job. (Fashioning grapplegrommets out of laminated chickenfat)
Hey- the interweb was fun, but it (and this slashdot jibber-jabber) has gone on long enough, don't you think?
Time to get back to work, ladies!
I'm buying a plane ticket to Ottawa shortly. I suggest that any of you/.ers that know something about those other six loose-loafer poseurs, track 'em down respectively. And let's do the job RIGHT this time.

Ubuntu. is really so much harder to use than Microsoft Windows. Everything on Microsoft Windows just works, and you have to fuss with Ubuntu to get it to do what you want, keep it from getting a virus, hunt all over the web to get software updates.....
I think the only reason Dell does this is because Ubuntu is setup to do anything useful or keep it running. With the Microsoft Windows they don't sell any add-on software because Microsoft Windows already has everything it needs to work.
I don't support PETA the organization or their methods, but I do share their concern about how animals are used..
Yeah.. well.. MAN- I actually belong to PETA, but I see nothing wrong with dispatching the occasional squirrel
But in my case, I would EAT the damn creature, before using its hide to cover a beer-can.
You do the creature honour in this way instead of sacrilege.
Why do I belong to PETA? Because every time I hear some yahoo rant "Duh.. dem stoopid PETA peepul! Why are dey so stoopid?",
I just vow to renew my membership. or increase my donation.
Bur believe me, if a rat or squirrel gets into my attic to chew on the insulation or electrical wires , if all else (live-trapping) fails, I will kill it.

Nicolas Cage just drove by my house really fast shouting into a cell phone. Should I be concerned?
Well, don't let him in, unless he's brought his brother Faraday along.

My ex-girlfriend is an oldbagger.
Does that make me sexist?

Just what makes you think I am "football"? You're aware of your difference?
Oh. Sorry - we *are* talking about American universities here!

LOL! ROFL! (As a perpetual /. bad karma guy (they hate me here), sadly I have no modpointz to give you)
...Reminds me of an old friend who once told me- "Geez man I was sooo pissed last nite that I blew chunks!"
..huh. No wonder I have bad karma.
me: "Hey man! It's OK! We've all done that on occasion."
"You don't understand! Chunks is my pet squirrel!"
can i buy it without the squirrel?
NO, DAMMIT!
Don't you realize?
You get to SHOOT the squirrel afterwards.
Cat? Monkey? WTF...?
Lissen,you pussies-
I want coffee brewed from beans shat out of Chuck Norris's ass!
And maybe beer that's been burped by Chuck!
....I have tried to convert others, but ultimately they end up back in Windows/OSX. There is nothing wrong with that.
For many computers just need to get "Task X" done. If Windows is the easiest way to get that done, then so be it...
Exactly.
I'd mod you up, but for some strange reason I am considered bad here.
Probably just 'cause I like Win7 as much as Ubuntu.
