it should be obvious that the hot-shot researchers passed the gas cloud, and instead of owning up to their smelly social faux pas just want to push blame and guilt into a black hole
I'd be interested in hearing about any x86-64 PC / Workstation motherboard that took over 256G RAM, haven't seen any. 192GB is the most I recall seeing.
u-233 bombs aren't common (the U.S. has done some) because higher critical mass (16 kg vs. 10 kg for plutonium), and it can't be handled with "glove box" like plutonium, has to be remotely handled. Thorium oxide has been characteristics than uranium dioxide, higher melting point, higher thermal conductivety and lower thermal expansion coefficient. Not a proliferation risk since can't chemically separate the u-233 in thorium from u-232, wind up with very radioactive material (glove box issue again). And you don't need Pu to activate an thorium reactor, other methods can be used including starting from another thorium reactor. So, as nuclear engineer, would say your post is mostly nonsense.
only the dumb-ass users think that. those with a little more brains know we are the cause of the problem. After puking a windows full of cryptic nonsense in their face (Error code upi53up3i4u53UPIU Context asl;fdg qpt4 -q3 tu Stack Trace Follows......), you think they want a long talk with the cylon skin-job who deals with that jibberish. hell no....
better solution to profession attracting greedy dirtbags existed back then, you might also be interested to know the Roman "advocates" and Greek "orators" were not allowed to take a fee when pleading the cause of the accused.
the Standard Model become inconsistent with Higgs boson masses above 1.4 TeV, for example nonsensical total probabilities for certain scattering events greater than 100% appear (unitarity is violated)
But my point was a place doesn't get intelligent life very long before it is snuffed out, there are only a Milky Way "year and a half" from first humans to all life being extinguished. A little too slowly to emerge, or a little too late to escape its homeworld fate, and its Game Over for intelligent life. That's why we don't see much of it elsewhere, and may not ever see it.
False. The greek Orators were used by those needing assistance to plead their own case, they the first lawyers in the west, and Rome also had similar "advocates". So you're off by a thousand years or more.
We might even use biological solutions to meet most our needs, growing housing, clothing and even most appliances. Then efficiency isn't such a concern as nutrients and solar energy (whether primary or derived source) used.
As we move towards a police state, jury nullification can be a valuable weapon in the war for liberty against oppressive laws that should not be enforced. That is just one example out of many situations where jury nullification is a great thing.
Fads are not regional dialect. The only purpose served by those phrases is filling in dead air time by a speaker with less to say than they wished their brains could generate. They are symptoms of an educational disease. A person who uses them will be at a disadvantage in interviews, argument, and discussion.
that only point of that article is that assuming continued growth is nonsense. Since the world's population will peak around 2080 with 8.5 billion people, and then decline thereafter, we don't even need to worry about never-ending growth of world's populace. Man's energy use (and therefore waste heat) will never be any significant portion of the earth's heat budget, it's a gnat's fart in a hurricane. And even if we wished to do something hugely energy intensive, we could just do it in space, problem solved.
I don't see any need for sacrifice. Quality of life and length of life has been increasing due to progress. We already have the smarter nations on earth developing energy that releases no polluting gases.

And that's just the observable universe, which we already know (fascinating topic, the accelerating expansion of space) something like 10^-23 of the whole.

what materials are the intelligent beings floating around on a gas giant going to use for technology? I'd think they'd be philosophers.
There is a race that goes on with any habited world. Consider that in 350 million years, our earth will be too hot to support life. In other words, there is a time limit, we're near the end of earth's time as life supporting planet. maybe most places that race is lost.
ah, it's the AC ignorant of science and engineering again. The only thing we've actually made leaps and bounds in is information processing, and that's MATH No, our fantastic IT is due to tremendous advances in materials science, you should learn how electronic devices such as undersea fiber optic systems and integrated circuits are made. We still burn fossil fuels in turbines in air or combustion chambers. That's it, that's all No, that is not all, where I live we get more than half our power from conversion of matter into energy. And a small company out in the western USA is making astounding advances in polywell fusion
It's not for visionless people like you to say what is and is not possible. That is for the engineer and scientist to say, people like me. You are consumer, "scrub load" as they say on submarines, users of our gifts.

matrix and perturbation models of scattering events break it hugely, you can look it up

uh, you do know "Higgs" is a physicist's name? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Higgs

A case doesn't need have anything to do with constitutional law to have nullification applied as a good thing, only unjust law for a situation

You should have discussed your sexual orientation with your wife before you married.

bullshit, whether or not it produces or hinders justice would depend on how it was used.

actually, people that went out and did the science on the question, in Greece 2500 years ago and India 1700 years ago, found the earth spherical
