from food it's mainly a concern eating large fish, which accumulate many magnitudes the level of small fish. Most americans don't eat much fish. So I consider food chain mercury to be a non-issue for a majority, more reason the CFL argument about comparison to coal plant smoke stack bullshit.
if you break a bulb in your house, you will get mercury by breathing mercury vapor. Mercury levels in the atmosphere which gets into groundwater via precipitation have plummeted in last 20 years mainly due to clean air act, proven by ice core samples.
the purpose of a maglight isn't to provide light, it is to provide light while allowing you to wield a weapon sufficiency stout to bash in the skull of two-legged vermin.
no, the argument about mercury hasn't been "destroyed every time", break one CFL bulb in your home and you will be exposed to more mercury than in ten years of breathing the air 25 miles from a coal fired plant. What a crock of marketing spew.
It doesn't help doing research if you can't reason and believe a load of bull from those with an agenda.
you can sit and do contemplation until the end of time. We needed solutions yesterday. And quite frankly it doesn't matter if we screw up the ecosystem of the Sahara dessert or Bonneville salt flats or some other arid wasteland.
we have empire, our petro-dollar empire, where we project military power all over the world to force our world-view down people's throats and line the pockets of vampires (feeding on blood and death of people) like Dick Cheney.
Iraq isn't democratic, the government we've supported there is building a new police state, torturing and beating people.
If we gave a shit about democracy in that part of the world we' be attacking Bush's family friends, the Saudi's, they rule and gets to rape or torture or kill anyone they dislike.
You must be one of the deluded people who think we're fighting those who attacked us on 9/11 in Afghanistan. Those who attacked us left there long ago, the "Taliban" there now isn't the "Taliban" who hosted bin Laden. Now the "Taliban" is disgruntled Afghans who pick up a rifle. But this war without end and without purpose sure is nice for the defense contractors.
they should target Dec 21 to get back on-line, end-of-the-world urban legend we've built up has way more scare value than old Friday the 13th which re-occurs quite often.
What this really means is that after scheduled maintenance of 2011 (which now includes bolstering against quench damage), the LHC will be slowly brought to full power in 2012. Reaching full power at the end of 2012. December 2012. Need I say more?
already we have millions of illegals with IDs because so many areas purposely are safe harbors for them, this is just one more thing on the list they will get
and since it existed when they were born, my children will think there was always an internet and that it was always big, and that people always had a computer or four in their homes.
He neglected to see the Eighteen Wheelers cruising down the Information Superhighway that would make roadkill of his article, and didn't realize that If You Build It They Will Come.
actually, back in ye olden days to graduate from secretarial school required at least that rate on manual typewriter, my mom could make her Edison crackle like a kettle of popcorn.
most of the 300 year old houses in europe of lower and middle class collapsed long ago, your sample data set is very flawed.
my usb flash drive is incremental improvement on something available in 1960s? Your pocket 1962 1311 IBM disk pack with 2MB, perhaps? My 8mbit ADSL modem is incremental improvement to 300 baud 103A dataset modem of 1962? you are just running off at the mouth on a keyboard in ignorance.
just put regular spinning disk in it. Point is working for an HP VAR I've had the misfortune to set up many database and middleware systems on MSA and performance is appalling compared to EVA
You sound like an old fart whining for the buggy-whip days. The only real problem is you are ignorant and blind to major technological developments.
For starters, because this is slashdot, have to point out major advances in computing made in America since the 1970s to now. Get your timeline out of computing 1980s through 2010. No innovation?
Automobiles of today have huge technological improvements from those of the 1950s, those were guaranteed to rust out within a few years and be blowing oil out worn valve guides and piston rings. Trying to start one in below zero degrees F was a major undertaking, electronic fuel injection is vastly superior for gasoline engines. Watch a Youtube video of a 1957 chevy crashing into a modern chevy and see who would die. At least twice the fuel efficiency for given vehicle weight. Air bags, GPS navigation, OBD-II, catalytic converters, solid state radio, radial tires, digital sensors and readouts (even if it looks analog there is for example no speedometer cable to wear out). Cars are not the same.
My parents house was built in mid 60s, well built and doing fine. The house I live in was built in 1980 and is doing fine. Both places will be good for another 30 years at least, where you get your silly notions might be from some garbage low-cost tract housing, guess what that was done in 1930s and 1940s also in some places (effects of Depression) and you don't know about it because it didn't stand the test of time, your sample set is flawed..
when I was teen in late 70s and 80s most of my friends played instruments, we were music geeks and were into wide variety of music. we liked classical, jazz, metal, rock n roll...don't think this would have worked on us

probably you didn't have proper individualized instruction in Earch Science, which this article covers:

You have insulted the connection rate and scalability of my server cluster, I challenge you do a deadly duel!
he's gay, gives simultaneous rim job, teabag and head from the front.
7.5 to 9 pounds. they should check for powder residue on mother and boyfriend. there are people evil enough to murder their own child in this world
I don't see how three-year old could muster the strength to fire double-action Sigma with thumb.

yeah, what moron put the terminals of car and deep cycle marine batteries so far apart? have to use a damn meter then.

yup, usually it IS bullocks. But I has just stringing together four common early 90s phrases for nostalgia's sake.
that happened to me too except they also gave us $8,500 each and then booted us out the door. not all bad.
the right snake can go many many miles, my car's snake injection system only unspooled and used half an anaconda yesterday.

MSA are low performance crap anyway. here's a quarter kid, get yourself an EVA
