For a backpack nuke, I doubt you could shield it well enough, but a van with some good armor and some sensors should be enough to trigger the nuke before it could be disabled. Even with the backpack nuke, you might be able to use photo sensors to detect the explosion before the blast wave got there and trigger it...
I'm currently on the wrong side of town (about a mile away), but my ISP (sonic.net) is offering gigabit fiber with 2 unlimited phone lines for $69.95/month. 100MBit & 1 line is $39.95.
I'm wondering if I should wait for it to get here, or move:-)
You wouldn't have to ration children if your time horizon is long enough, just incentivize (ugh) people to have fewer children, either with tax breaks or free birth control or propaganda. Note, I'm not suggesting this is what we should do, I was just replying to the "we'd have to kill 6 billion people" post, and now to you as to how we could do it.
The trouble is that dammed rivers are (at least in CA) generally warmer over all (due to lower flows and a larger heating surface on the surface of the lake). Then you do a release from the dam (bottom of the lake) and dump a bunch of frigid water into the stream. Huge temperature swings for the organisms to deal with.
Satan (assuming he shows up to take him/her) is welcome to my first-born. I'm unlikely to have one, and wouldn't want it if I did. Now the woman actually pushing the baby out may have other ideas...
Pol Pot, Hitler, and Stalin didn't do what they did in the name (or support of) Atheism. Especially since Hitler was a christian (Catholic?) who's birthday was celebrated by the Pope. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler's_religious_views ]
And it being difficult to convince you that a belief in the Bible actually encouraging bad behavior has more to do with you're resistance to facts than the fact's existence. When the people professing faith who commit bad deeds can cite chapter and verse from the bible supporting their bad deeds, there's something bad in that book...
A brief search leads me to believe that he interprets the 14th amendment to not grant citizenship to all babies (primarily of illegal immigrants) born in the US. Other than that, I couldn't find much clear about his views on it. I think the primary issue people have with Ron Paul is his "states rights" stand seems to lend itself to the stance that even if the Constitution prohibits the federal government from doing something, Dr. Paul seems to think that the states should be able to do it, despite the 14th amendment's 'due process' clause:
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Yeah, though you can gang extra battery packs onto them. It doesn't have that high a top speed either, and I'd probably be faster on my (pedal) bike, but would arrive all sweaty.

I sure hope you don't end up waiting for an organ that won't come because of an attitude like yours.
looks nice, but way above the "magic" $99 price point.
Apple has no where near $1 Trillion dollars, anywhere. They are nominally worth ~$1/2 T, but have less than $100B in liquid assets.
I'm sure Apple could get Android to run on it. Therefore you should buy it.
But I guess you really meant that you'd like to be able to run Android on it yourself. Good luck with that.

A backpack nuke with a deadman's switch should work...

How about we just plan 100 years out? Or maybe 250? Dropping the birth rate enough would take care of it.
Both, but I think right now it's primarily thermal expansion. I don't have the figures handy, and am too lazy to look :-)
As an atheist, my list of "do not visit" countries is getting longer and longer.
When the fuck are we humans going to make it properly out of the dark ages?

Why is it that "miracles" happen so much less often today, with a more educated population? Did god just get tired?
Miracles don't happen. Stories about miracles happen.

Just like the effects of the drugs...
In some people (myself included), the drug may be out of their system, but the mental effects (paranoia at least) may continue for weeks.

Maybe, but it's pretty obvious that the GP to your post is anti-Christian.
Just like reality. Ok, reality isn't anti-christian, it's just that christian beliefs are disproved by reality.

"There's a theory, the theory of evolution, and I don't accept it."
I note that your quote is a meta-view on evolution, not Ron Paul's stance on whether it's true or not.
Sorry, but Ron Paul is a creotard, and therefore, in my view, unfit to govern.
Ron Paul disqualified himself when he revealed he is a creationist who rejects evolution.
Really?
