Yea Right!!! We created all the 'rogue nations'.. Even OBL, Khomeni.. Every where we have stuck our nose where it does not belong a 'rogue nation' pops up. Afghanistan, Vietnam, Iran/Iraq.. the list is endless. We always prop up some person to fight against someone we dont like and that person ends up biting us in the ass.
Ever since WWII (maybe korea can slide) our military endevors have been tactical failures and have brought more harm to that region than stabilization, case in point our current endevors in Afghanistan and Iraq. It all went down hill from carters time. Thats when most of this mess started. If we didnt villify Iran for nothing the Shah would still be in power and we wouldnt have half of this mess going on (he was a huge supporter of the US, but we backstabbed him). Want to blame someone blame the US politicans of the past four decades for the global mess that has been created. God bless our troops, they are doing an awesome job considering the circumstances, but with braindead politicans running the show, it puts our men and women in a bad place to be in.
Sorry but this is a bunch of crap.. Ive seen this over and over here. How the hell do you think we built the interstate highway system. Emminent Domain! No reason why it cant and wont be done again for the states. The only thing that will stop this project is greedy lobbyists, corrupt politicans, and people who care more about lining their pockets than actually improving the infrastructure of this country. Which is just about everyone in power.
The Shahara Desert? The assuming we could force it to anyhwere we want on earth with a reasonable degree of accuracy AND the incoming projectile was coming perpendicular to the equator. If it were coming somwhere from the top or bottom, (that maynot matter..)
I dont have anything in Africa but I dont believe that a greater area exists in all the world with such a low population density. 3.5 million square miles (9 million square kilometers) of desert. Ganted its inhabited by some, but it would be a lot easier to evac them then anywhere else on earth right?
And who knows whith all the heat of the impact the sand would glaze over and we would ahve a massive glass quarry afterwards hehe
I remember that! oh man.. that reminds me. My first time logging into a BBS. It asked my my first name which i provided, then it asked for my last name which is found in the dictionary. It automatically assumed that I was trying to fraud it and it said something to the extent of.."only REAL names are accepted!" and then disconned me! i was like WHAT!? that bastard!
Anyone hear updated news on that.. that was crazy. Insanity.
Doesnt it take a LOT of energy to cool to ~4k?

OK, sorry i got carried away by just reading the heading... people would still have to worry about radioactivity in the atmosphere, even if this technique is pioneered we still cant use nukes without any radiological setback right? It would entail digging up the scorched earth and rubble and doing the said process to it. Not very feasable.

Right now they only major hold back large nations (and even terrorist groups) have from using nuclear weapons is the radioactive fallout it will create for the entire world including themselves. If we are succesful in finding a way to cut half life, true it would really do wonders for our energy crisis, but at the same time I would really be worried about future wars wipeing out the planet.
I agree its not the computers but whats on the computers that matter.
My Apple ][ GS can still give some of those poor kids a hellva education with all the software i have for it. Thats what I learnt on..fraction munchers.. number munchers.. puzzletanks.. math blaster.. logo.. that was the stuff. No internet there.
This is probably going to be modded troll or flamebait, but I really dont mean it to be. In my social circle of geeks there are those who are ODF nazis. They refuse to send me documents in anything but ODF and it pisses the hell out of me. I have held my ground for a while because I, for various reasons, use MS office. Now both sides can be happy. Thank Goodness.
That would imply that with each power outage customers switch to other more reliable power providers. How many people actually do that. Usually we brave out blackouts and pay our bill when it comes. It wont make any fiscal sense for power companies to transfer the existing grid underground. Maybe future grids but not existing ones. At least for residential use.
Companies pull shit like this on purpose so that you MUST take the car to the dealer to get it serviced or spend a fortune elsewhere. They could have put that oil filter in a good spot, not have designed that radio that way but that wouldnt bring in the extra business. The big shots at the top want to make quick bucks the ass hole way versus small bucks the good guy way, and thats why they are on the virge of going broke now. Greed is all it boils down to.
Kids should really be made to be more active. Just as they may fail if they dont exercise their brain, they should fail, and not be allowed to move on to the next grade if they dont participate well in PE... PE should also be at least 3 times a week.
The way it is now (at least at my old hs) as long as you show up you get credit... what a load of crap. It makes it even worse for people who actually do want to play games cause your team is interlaced with people who just dont give a shit. One time we were playing volleyball and this girl just stood there and watch the ball fall literally a foot in front of her as she played with her hair... I would have failed that bitch on the spot.
I used to get sick at least twice a year especially during the winter with the usual cold/cough/flu. My eating habits were pretty crappy. Last January (2005)I decided to start eating healthy and ate a good balanced breakfast with multivitamin, big healthy salads for lunch (no dressing), and whatever i wanted for dinner (usually rice a and meat of some sort with various sauces). To date I have not gotten sick even once. This was no double blind study but im convinced its because i upped my veggies from once in a blue moon, to every day, and also because I exercise regularly.
Americans are seriously lacking in the eating healthy department. So many of us are obese its not even funny. Go into wallmart or something and just count how many fat people you see.. i mean REALLY fat people. This whole nation needs to be put on a diet and on a treadmill. Being obese increases the risk for so many other health problems, I cant see how anyone can do that to themselves.
Mom, and popeye, and Mr. T was right... eat those greens.
Fossil fuels that burn to produce electricity? Nuclear reactions which produce waste? Is anything being accomplished? This is why electric/hybrid cars are NOT the answer. We need to wipe the slate and come up with something new.
Actually now that i think about it, a cost comparasin must be made as well as a emissions comparasin.
How much does it cost to get this car to go 300mi, vs a similar sized car using gasoline.
How much emission does what ever system produce to produce the amount of electricty to "fill up" this car. vs how much emission is produced if a similar car were to go 300mi on gasoline.
