"laborers"???!!! Those of the skilled trades would take exception to that designation. Plenty of physicists, engineers, chemists did very hands-on work.
a school isn't going to dump their supercomputer in the garbage every three years like a PC gamer. heck it probably took a year to get hardware project proposed and approved.
funny how many here assumed it would be an octo-core monster. instead we find hardware a few years old is actually useful.
What would you have whined about had you lived two centuries ago before English had standardized spelling? Or had you lived in China two thousand years ago, would you wail of the abacus making people unable to cipher?
not really, the same observable universe would be viewed anywhere within thousands of light years of earth, or would not change unless waiting thousands if not millions of years. how boring, since we already know that our observable universe is probably 1E-26 if not less of the whole deal...
not much to reconsider, a done deal thousands of years ago, there are were and are already sugar-producing algae used for food (e.g. Agar from red algae) But humans need more than sugar
nonsense, breeding thorium beats those chemical stores by a factor of a thousand, and as a bonus all the stored spent nuclear fuel that critics point to as a reason not to go nuclear can be bred and burned as fuel. breaking the nucleus of massive atoms beats breaking chemical bonds any day of the week.
no, we don't have enough farmland for vegetable oil fuels. if we went to 100% biofuel, we'd have to use plants that can grow on scrubland such as sage grass.
there are plenty of alternatives though, and even gasoline engines can be modified to run on them. in thailand conversion to LPG is popular because of the development of their natural gas beds
some biology 101 for you, the pulp of those teeth are dead without living tissue in them. The roots are dissolved by the body and the tissues inside die.
nope, up to age 25 men outnumber women, not till the 25 to 29 do we get into 99.9 males per female. Then add to that fact that 5-10% of males are gay, and your argument goes up in smoke.

indeed, if ITER and its planned successors are the way, fusion power plants are 75 - 100 years away.
no, there are some approaches being taken that are ENTIRELY U.S. funded and controlled.

mostly opteron 175 (528 of them at 2.2 GHz with 1056GB RAM totl) and 285 (256 of them at 2.6GHz with 512GB RAM tota), so about 2GB RAM each.

there is standardized American English spelling, and standardised British English spelling.
goatse man recently tried to smuggle the diamond star in his rectum, but he was too loose and it kept falling out
but nothing so dramatic is needed, as the ancient Egyptians mastered the conversion of sugars and other carbohydrates into booze.

the earth is in the exact center of the Visible Universe.
the good news is that the dinosaurs are fine, and not extinct; they now inhabit the shell of the topmost Turtle.
If they were dangerous, the government would never allow them to be sold
ha! what planet do you live on? the United States government has many times approved products that maim, mutate and kill

actually, the Germans (and others) developed liquid hydrocarbon fuels (kerosene, etc.) from coal in the 19th century, so hardly a Nazi innovation.
sadly, we have coal and shale oil for centuries of fuel production.
except purely "gay" women are rare, instead non-heterosexual women usually being bisexual

there should be a simpler way to go about showing that P != NP
that simpler way would only exist if P = NP

ah, that explains the blue-eyed LGM. man those vikings were horny SOBs...
