the earth was provided with water by ice and snowballs: the comets. there are plenty of those flying around, not surprising there would be water anywhere and almost everywhere in the solar system. even mercury has ice in craters that never get exposed to sun
when someone talks about a cream stuffed spongecake being threatened by the decay of all baryonic particles (which might take only 10^40 years) into leptons and photons over a timescale that will evaporate the biggest black holes (10^100 years), your exaggeration and humor detectors should have tripped, and you might want to consider recalibrating them.
So we start our satellite observations in a trough of global cooling, and then compare arctic ice levels now with then, and get hysterical. Junk science again by NASA, who also recently made absurd claim of "unprecedented melting" in Greenland, when in fact it is a 150 year cyclical thing right on schedule.
We'll never be able to have an proper discussion of the bad effects of our pollution on the planet with this anti-scientific fear mongering, by our "scientists." (actually agenda driven funding controlled propagandists)
Twinkies, which last on the order of geological time, have these few main threats against their long term shelf life: 1. subduction under an adjacent tectonic plate 2. expansion of sun into red dwarf, though as the sun becomes less dense the earth and unconsumed twinkies may survive by increasing orbital axis 3. collision of earth with another major major astronomical body, eastimated to be on the order of every five billion years for event sufficient to destroy most or all twinkies 4. proton decay and/or quantum tunneling, 10^100 years or more
how about we judge people by their automatic raising of the "racist" smokescreen even if something else, like subculture, is mentioned. this proves the illogical irrational minds we have that can't have adult discourse on the subject of who is committing most of the violence in the united states.
I have the balls to say people like you always raise the "racist" smokescreen when someone utters the truth about some of the inner-city subcultures we have in the USA. I could try to make you feel better by pointing out there are subcultures of black and hispanic people in the USA who are NOT in any way contributing to the violent crime in the USA, but instead of pandering to you I'm going to point out that your knee-jerk reaction and your mention of specific racial groups says something about you and the bad wiring between your ears.
so what? what kind of people are those domestic violence cases? law abiding citizens, or 80% previously convicted criminals (which is the case). biggest chunk of those deaths are suicides, 60%, can't use those in argument against firearms.
the Romanians should well know only UV lasers can harm the sons and daughters of Vlad, Count of Draco; and only silver ion particle beams harm the lycanthrope
The Cinnamon developers are working hard to make a UI that is useful to the user, and that can be a part of either single task or multiple task workflow. The GNOME3 developers try to cram their views down the user's throat, and impede anyone with a multiple-task workflow. moreover, the GNOME3 devs attitude is, you want something different that used to be user-configurable before, get a developer! GNOME3 and its developers can now die, they serve no purpose and the useful work has been taken up by competent people.
there's a world of difference between what you are going through and the millions of wussies who are demanding opiates for situations where asprin could do, and also millions more just using opiates for fun or to escape reality. It's fine for you to either be addicted or not, really. to be able to break the habit if in remission, or not.
special relativity covers one and only one situation, noninertial reference frames. it also only covers the case of changing velocity by adding or removing relativistic energy. this proposed drive is not in the realm of SR, just as an atomic clock following a trajectory around the earth is not covered.
I would say nonsense, this drive is a means outside of special relativity whereby we CAN violate casualty. special relativity doesn't cover the types of situations that man may be able to fabricate.
maybe not a coincidence, this Harold "Sonny" White who came up with the shape is part of the 100 year starship project, I'm suspecting he was a trekkie who tried out the warp field shape just to see what would happen. but he's too embarrased to admit it!
sure it is, Canonical is the heavyweight linux distro behind it. fedora being a tiny shadow of its former self after RedHat pissed off people like me with their attitude and treatment of the community
no, the desktop managers on the commercial Unix were mostly inferior to GNOME2 in features and responsiveness. CDE, OpenLook, ick. The only decent one was SGI IRIS in IRIX, very feature heavy but with crisp response, not with the mushy lag of its competitors from HP, IBM, DEC

so what? Japan doesn't allow civilian guns, but compare their suicide rate to places that do allow guns. their suicide rate beats our murder rate.

violent crimes in the USA are largely committed by certain few subcultures. don't judge the civilized people there by the savages

oops, meant to say SR is the realm of inertial reference frame, the GR covers noninertial. this drive is a GR situation, SR is irrelevant.

wrong. this is outside the realm of special relativity, it is NOT adding to relativistic mass of an object, your objections are moot
indeed, the recent (nearly confirmed) discovery of dark matter is one example of exotic matter outside of known physics until the last two decades.
I would say nonsense, this drive is a means outside of special relativity whereby we CAN violate casualty. special relativity doesn't cover the types of situations that man may be able to fabricate.
dark matter is a form of exotic matter. maybe there are other forms already available in nature that we can capture and put to use

Canonical is the heavyweight distro behind it, but they are losing mindshare in the UI space
I know a few hundred linux users, but not a one is using Unity.

yes, cinnamon is good, but it is fork of mutter, the gnome3 desktop manager. it fixes many things the GNOME3 developers wouldn't address
many asian central banks are hoarding gold, building reserves. maybe it is you who believes something stupid.
the value of fiat money always goes to zero. gold from five thousand years ago holds value today. gold is real money, dollars are game chits.
