  1. The right kind of people on Tinfoil Hat House · · Score: 1
    This is a typical example of community not protecting itself and allowing the "wrong kind of people" to move in. Co-ops provide excellent loop holes that enable all types of discrimination. New York co-ops are notorious for keeping out the niggers, jews, fags and chinks -- did I miss anybody, Oh yeah, wops and spicks. As a result of discrimination, their property value is improved. All Americans should be concerned that unfavorable ancestry might interfere with personal gain and profit. Don't let your community go down the tubes. Co-op it today.

    In all seriousness, who cares if it is ugly and who cares if the neighbors value goes down. T.S.

    They should just be glad the guy doesn't like to masturbate in the living room at night with the curtains open and lights on.

    If anybody is not offended by this post, then I apologize, it was an oversight on my part.

    I posted this in an above thread and thought it could go here too.

    I thought I was the only one this cynical. I have gone back to school to earn a second B.S., my third college degree -- I already hold a B.S. and a M.A. In addition to the science and math curriculum I'm studying Chinese; for reasons that you should find self-evident. I was in Beijing in 2000 and have friends who have been to China even more recently and it is clear that the well paying and rewarding work is already-in or will be in Asia. And when I'm done with school I will hold a B.S in Fine Arts and Communications, a M.A in Design and Writing, a B.S. in Math and Chemistry, a Ph.D in Computational Chemistry and speak fluent Mandarin. And that will qualify me to go anywhere I damn well please and earn a good living, which will likely not be in my country of origin; USA.

    American developed drugs yes. American manufactured NO. most drugs purchased in the US are manufactured in other countries. We import nearly all our drugs.

  8. Re:Upload, not download on Cuban Says RIAA Damages Should be $5 Per Month · · Score: 1

    This brings up an important point. My responsibility to ensure the copyright security of my licensed music. Is it wrong for me to hold my music files in a public shared directory? Am I responsible for managing the ACL's assigned to the directory in which my music is stored? If I wanted it keep my music in my "Public" folder so that I could have easy access on other computers is this wrong? Is guest access to a folder a-kin to an "uploader?" And isn't uploading a incorrect description? Servers do not go find clients to push files to. Clients find servers and request the file for downloading. So every situation is a download. I believe it is the Music industries responsibility to guard their rights with respect to fair use laws. And if no such technology exits, then the responsiblity should not be placed onto the consumer.

    What do you mean by energy? Of course farming produces more energy than is consumed by machinery. The sun provides most of the power. Not to mention there is more energy per molecule of glucose then there is in TNT. If there wasn't we wouldn't have 5 billion people. (the glucose vs. TNT is flame bait, don't fall for it.) Also when you refer to energy please take note of the second law of thermodynamics. Also vegtable oil doesn't need to be a complete replacement -- and it was jus an example -- methanol, ethanol, ethane, polystyrene, polyvinylchloride, blah, blah, blan could all be starting material.

However if your at least 1000Km from impact you should walk away from the event. http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/impacteffects/ Your Inputs: Distance from Impact: 1000.00 km = 621.00 miles Projectile Diameter: 400.00 m = 1312.00 ft = 0.25 miles Projectile Density: 8000 kg/m3 Impact Velocity: 17.00 km/s = 10.56 miles/s Impact Angle: 45 degrees Target Density: 2750 kg/m3 Target Type: Crystalline Rock Energy: Energy before atmospheric entry: 3.87 x 1019 Joules = 9.25 x 103 MegaTons TNT The average interval between impacts of this size somewhere on Earth during the last 4 billion years is 1.2 x 105years Atmospheric Entry: The projectile begins to breakup at an altitude of 14200 meters = 46500 ft The projectile reaches the ground in a broken condition. The mass of projectile strikes the surface at velocity 16.9 km/s = 10.5 miles/s The impact energy is 3.83 x 1019 Joules = 9.15 x 103MegaTons. The broken projectile fragments strike the ground in an ellipse of dimension 0.639 km by 0.452 km Major Global Changes: The Earth is not strongly disturbed by the impact and loses negligible mass. The impact does not make a noticeable change in the Earth's rotation period or the tilt of its axis. The impact does not shift the Earth's orbit noticeably. Crater Dimensions: What does this mean?

The volume of the target melted or vaporized is 0.241 km3 = 0.0578 miles3 Roughly half the melt remains in the crater , where its average thickness is 6.38 meters = 20.9 feet Thermal Radiation: What does this mean? The fireball is below the horizon. There is no direct thermal radiation. Seismic Effects: What does this mean? The major seismic shaking will arrive at approximately 200 seconds. Richter Scale Magnitude: 7.3 Mercalli Scale Intensity at a distance of 1000 km: I. Not felt except by a very few under especially favorable conditions. II.
