win/loss record is a terrible way to judge a pitcher's performance
Perhaps, but you won't see any pitchers in the Hall with a 41% win ratio. In fact, only one pitcher (unless the site I looked at is incomplete), Rollie Fingers, is below 50%.
And I REALLY don't think Rollie made it for his 37 or so starts.
are they illegal? the ones like "23 yr old female seeks female to share rent, utilities" I mean, I'd love to offer my services despite that damning gender clause
I am all for greener technologies but, at what cost does this come? While OTEC seems like a great investment, what is the efficiency of this?
If you have too high an input energy pumping the water from such great depths, you lose efficiency. Where is the energy for the pump going to come from?
I won't get into efficiencies of other methods, I know most sources are horrendous too. This technology is probably too self limiting to become widespread.
I thought the Russians had been drilling for a long time. They had reached 40,000 ft by 1985
A major problem they will encounter is the plasticity of rocks as the approach the mantle -- the heat and pressure allows rocks to flow, much like silly putty will ooze. That plasticity make it difficult to maintain an open well for the bit to drill through.
Don't undersetimate the value of producing electricity -- coal fired plants create tons of emissions every day. The plant that supplies electricity in my area unloads 2 trains worth of coal EVERY day. Additionally, in 2001, all coal plants in NC released 2956 lbs of mercury in 2001. See the same site for some of the other pollutants released by coal burning plants.
I assume that their hydrogen source is probably mostly produced from electricity from coal burning plants.
Umm, No...read your own quote: Electricity (from the alternator in the engine) is used to split the water into hydrogen and oxygen.
The fact that water weighs in at over 8lbs is fairly moot -- gasoline weighs in closely, so adding a tank that holds a few gallons of water is not a major addition to trucking weight. Additionally, FEWER emissions. All in all, a good idea, if it is all that it's cracked up to be.
Well, actually, Ted Turner set an example for him. Said Gates
Ted Turner, the founder of Cable News Network, set an admirable example when he pledged $1 billion over 10 years to support United Nations programs aiding refugees and children, clearing mines and fighting diseases.

This would require a change in germ cells in testicles -- a daunting prospect. And there are two lives you affect doing this. 1. The father has changes to testicles (cringes at thought of just HOW you get the new DNA in there). 2. Any changes you make to the sperm would be passed onto the fetus. Doesn't matter whether change is dominant or recessive, if it is in the sprem that fertilizes the egg, it's part of the fetus.
Cellular providers, of course, fired back, one stating that it 'constantly and aggressively monitors potential threats to the integrity and security of its network
Yeah, we've upped it, now you have to send 172 texts per second!

they anonymize it better than the government does... Foiled by Ctl+C
Hmmm, you aren't fooling anyone, this is /. after all.

Only in baseball can you win 41% and call it a turn around.
The previous year he won 40%.
Wow, that's some turn around, ESPECIALLY since he was 16 - 8 four seasons ago.

I think the slogan was "All the sugar, and twice the caffeine"
Programmer (n): An organism that can turn caffeine into code.

Sounds like the hip-hop way to say mad cow disease -- "mad cow diesel"
This was on the BBC News website two weeks ago, in fairness atleast can we see the news when it happens
The BBC article you refer to deals with Italy -- and they are only dreaming about it.
All they need now is to add Wi-Fi, which is also sorely needed.
Give Google a week, maybe a month, and you may have your wish.
It's also possible to be too paranoid about things to you own detriment !!
Normally, I'd agree with you. But THEY told me if I did, they'd get me for it.

the faulty sperm: "Heelllpp Meeeeeeeee"
please please please have a good guy scientist who gets the girl (or a good gal scientist who gets the guy) at least once a decade
How about The Nutty Professor
that was 1996, so they have another year to meet the goal.
Note I do not reference the sequel in 2000, I assumed you meant at least a decent "scientist gets the girl movie."
What would you want to see in an OSS class?
Girls

will it take to download that PDF of War and Peace?
First a US state governmentswitches to OpenDocument, now an Australian gov't. looks to Linux.
watch out Bill, they're coming for you
MUUAAHHH
