    bullshit, we're not close to exhausting anything. not helium, not fossil fuel, not "rare earths".

    there are other ways to mine uranium than strip mining. they don't have to do things the American (numb from the neck up) way

    i'd even question the need for "hand tools" to be plural, plenty of zip guns made with just a claw hammer

    indeed, when an unconfined handgun round goes off, the brass flies away from the bullet. at gun club I used to belong we'd sweep up powder residue and brass after matches and burn the pile since a portion of the powder is ejected from a gun unburned. every now and then a live round would pop and send the brass flying. but put that round in the shortest metal tube, maybe even inch beyond edge of brass (e.g. like a snub nosed revolver, which even has *air gap* before the short tube), and that's a whole different matter, that's a lethal weapon.

    how does imprisoning a kidnapper who cages people make us any better than the kidnapper himself? no logic in what you are saying, eliminating those who prey on innocents is different than preying on innocents.

    some human beings are monsters; you must have lived sheltered life.

    your invoking the "found to be innocent" no longer applies, those were cases of DNA and advanced forensics being used on past cases. now we have those tools to use to verify guilt

    in one series there was a bridge with bbc micro pc and 1960s teletype.

    but the Tardis can re-arrange and change its interior. some doctors just went to retro or scrapped-from-junkyard look.

  13. you are wrong. murderers get released for various reasons (sentenced "commuted" for example), some of those kill again

  14. you're confused, genius.

    if a person does those evil things, doesn't matter the condition of the mind, not relevant whether sane nor insane. be guilty of crimes of a monster, get eliminated like one

  15. oh come on on Computers and Doctor Who · · Score: 3, Interesting

    the computers are always there but to Doctors are like the oodles of controllers we have in cars, microwave ovens and elevators. too ubiquitous to even merit notice or much thought.

    yes kiddies, for our controllers I'm using the old definition of digital computer was device having processor, memory, input, output

  16. no they get released for various reasons and commit crimes again. example "oh he was mentally ill at the time and not responsible for his actions". you are thinking of theory, I speak of reality.

  17. that argument no longer holds water, now that we have the DNA testing and other advanced forensics that set those people free.

    you speak of theory that only works between your ears. in practice, thousands of times the monsters are out again and do their crimes again.

    or south korea, japan, thailand, viet nam?

    you are confused on what is barbaric. for example, child molesters and rapists and murderers get out of prison and commit their crimes again. thousands of times. that is barbaric. putting down a monster is not barbaric, it is the merciful thing to do

    no, barbaric is letting monsters live who committ their hideous crimes again and again. Murder, rape, child molesting, kidnapping there are hundreds of cases of repeat offenders. don't believe the urban legend lie, putting one of those kinds of crimminals to death saves lives.

    oh protons will decay, only the process for near term 10^34 year half life is hypothetical and what is being tested. We know other interactions with quarks and color that guarantee the 10^200 year number.

    as opposed to not bombing people at all, who didn't attack us. we are not accomplishing any good purpose there, and are even "negotiating" with the Taliban. the war is pointless. Al Qaeda and the "taliban" who hosted them are long, long gone from there. we put that fight on back burner to go after the all important goal of invading Iraq, for things that weren't there.

    you haven't a clue, have you.

    what is happening is that the CIA is running tens of billions of dollar of narcotics, using drones and our armed forces to kill anyone that gets in their way. Also, defense contractors are making big coin along with congressmen in their pockets.
