  1. Re:Life Adapts on Is the Earth Special? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Consider that in less than 500 million years, the earth will be too hot to support life. So that means there is a race, the 5 billion year race from when our solar system began to that extinction time. Maybe most other planets with life lost that race, before anything could overcome the limits of their sun's cooking their home world.

    I'll agree the differences in results of ignoring the H.O.T. (higher order turtles) are negligible.

    Fucking Moving Charges of the Galaxy, How Do They Work?

    The origin and causes of galactic magnetic fields (or, the moving charges that cause them) is unknown and there are competing theories. One is that it is a residual property frozen in matter originating in the big bang.

    Don't need to get it off the ground, blood will pool in the lowest parts of the corpse, cut there. Maye they built some fires around the carcass at a distance, maybe they other techniques since their IQ was probably *slightly higher* than the average of humanity's today, as today we have systems in place to make unintelligent people breed like maggots.

    That model has been disproven. You'll note the model has support system that quite accurately simulates the stiffness, damping and degrees of freedom of Turtles All The Way Down.

    forget that. it's the poop. mammoths are big, very big. they poop. they poop a LOT. you would not believe how mind bogglingly much they poop. you might think its annoying to avoid geese poop on the sidewalk next to a pond, but that's peanuts to mammoth poop.

    oop, you get your meat at the supermarket, right? Anyone who has hunted and eaten deer or bear knows better

    As long the temperature is below 35 degrees F, you don't need to rapidly do anything but bleed the kill. Aging meat for 7 - 10 days in the cold lets enzymes take the gamy taste out and even makes the meat firmer for cutting. Your beef steak had that done to it.

    So, in ice age, you can kill and bleed your mammoth and let the rest sit for more than a week.

    nope for centuries the slang,"greek" meant between the cheeks on the other end, anal sex (in middle east also called Persian or Arab). french was oral sex, and "russian" was rubbing the penis between breasts. "english" was flagellation for sexual gratification. I don't know any other references to sexual practices by ethnic group

    of course, IBM services are all about unnecessarily complex projects that are time and money sink holes. With the economy tightening up, we can only hope enough businesses see through these scams to make IBM irrelevant and out of that business.

    I hear paper mail and its infrastructure is in decline too, but many slashdotters wailed about a country needing a national paper mail pushing system. But reality means cuts will further erode revenue in a negative feedback spiral. USPS is going down, hard

    not very relevant, what do you suppose would happen to Greenpeace people if they tried that stunt at Chinese or Russian or Pakistan or Iranian reactor? I can tell you what the procedure would be at U.S. plant, P.A. would say once, "Intruder, drop what you are carrying and lie on the ground, or you will be met with deadly force". Failure to comply would result in execution by hail of 9mm from SMG 635. That's reality.

    I'd just go on TV and say the security problem has been solved at the plants. Invite Greenpeace to come back to the plants and do their stunt again to verify. Then shoot the lot of them. Win-win, all problems solved.

  25. Re:Does it have a magnetic field? on Kepler Confirms Exoplanet Inside Star's Habitable Zone · · Score: 1

    We only need to know if its a rocky planet around Sun similar to ours in chemistry, then a near certainty it has iron core. If it is not tidally locked it will spin fast enough for strong magnetic field. Yes, this is projecting thing about our solar system with its magnetic core rocky planet and moons onto another place, but seems very reasonable.
