Inertia, the tendancy of an object to keep moving in the absense of external forces, is a property that stems from conservation of momentum, since F = dp/dt = d/dt(mv), or for constant mass, F = ma.
The missing girl case is not an applicable analogy to this. In that case, there was the fact that she was buried alive. An analogy to this case would be if they found the supposed pictures. The link I forget to include and later posted talks about how in accusations such as this (like satanic ritual abuse) where there is no evidence but "he said she said", "There is ample evidence that therapists and law enforcement personnel encourage and reward children for accepting the suggestions of bizarre abusive behavior".
Does that clarify why the testimony is uncredible, given the limited information contained in the article?
>In fact, I'd like to get that movie out on DVD and just press "skip" at the appropriate place for someone who has never seen the film.
Well, hey, you could do someone who's never seen it a favor, and rip/download it, and edit it how you think it should be. I for one, would welcome our better edited pirated film overloards.
Now your chief weapon is only fear... fear andruthless efficiency... ruthless efficiency and fear....
Our two weapons are fear and ruthless efficiency... and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope....
Our three... no...
Amongst our weapons... Amongst our weaponry...
are such elements as fear, surprise...
I'll come in again.
Those children subjected to the whims of the therapists, the district attorneys, police and parents might have no idea what they're doing, or they might be bullied, forced, coerced into doing so (accepting the suggestions of bizarre abusive behavior). How do you know? Maybe the therapists, the district attorneys, police and parents are related to them?
FTA: "The court didn't say that police had unearthed any encrypted files or how it would view the use of standard software like OS X's FileVault. Rather, Levie's conviction was based on the in-person testimony of the girl who said she was paid to pose nude, coupled with the history of searches for "Lolitas" in Levie's Web browser.
Judge Thomas Bibus had convicted Levie of two counts of attempted use of a minor in a sexual performance and two counts of solicitation of a child to engage in sexual conduct. The appeals court reversed the two convictions for attempted use of a minor, upheld the two solicitation convictions, and sent the case back to Bibus for a new sentence."
So the only evidence against this man (that we know) is one exercpt from his browser history, and the uncredible testimony of a 9 year old. Remember the peoples lives damaged by satanic ritual abuse, when in fact "There is ample evidence that therapists and law enforcement personnel encourage and reward children for accepting the suggestions of bizarre abusive behavior". So unless there's some photos, anyone who wants this guy put away is an overemotional idiot that needs to learn the meaning of justice.
I agree with your calculations, assuming that the particles behave like an ideal gas (though I think you answers are 3/2 too high). This puzzled me too, so I did a bit of googling, and found Effect of solar wind on temperature of space. So basically, yes, the particles have that temperature, but the density is so low that the temperature is still gonna be around the microwave background of 2.7K
I don't know where in the hell you are, but if the speed of sound is faster than "300 to 700 km per second (700,000 - 1,500,000 miles per hour)", then for god's sake man, stop posting to slashdot and get to someplace a bit safer!

How Glowsticks WorkThe dangerous chemicals in glowsticks are h2o2 and phenol. 30% h2o2, the concentration in glowsticks, will scorch dirt, so even diluted after breaking the capsule it's utterly retarded to be smearing the stuff on your hands, and the phenol produced in the rxn is a nasty acid, not as bad a sulfuric, but definately something to quickly wash off your skin.
Yes, damn those Vickies! Bastards are always so smug in their handmade bowler hats and tailored suits, and the women in their crinolines and cages under their fancy lacy dresses. Now if you'll excuse me, I've gotta get back to work
Exactly. The reason that sex offender's are being given a scarlett letter is because of the overemotional response most people have to it, which is completely retarted. Would you rather have a convicted murderer or a convicted sex offender living next door? Furthermore, the scarlett letter gives a strong implication that since the person did it once, they'll do it again. This only furthers their alienation from regular society, making it more likely that they'll do something that society has deemed unacceptable.
Congrats, you've turned a molehill into a mountain. Feel free to flame me with posts along the lines of "what if you/someone you knew were a victim".
I'd disagree with calling x86 architecture shitty, according to spec.org the p4 is the fastest microprocessor dollarwise. What I would say is that it's a huge kludge. It's like comparing a stock BMW M3(G5) to a 69 Mustang with a 600hp engine, sure the Mustang is gonna wipe the floor with the beamer in raw speed, but the BMW achieves its performance with style.
However since the market for a device to flip over ships was rather limited, he later devloped The Club. This was even less successful, as the automobile had yet to be invented.

As a side note, and because I want to invent a new word, I propose ezact: an guesstimated answer to shut people up who can't handle uncertainty. A sample usage would be: Charlotte wanted to know when dinner would be ready, but when I told her in about a half hour, she wanted a more specific answer, so I said in ezactly 23.458 minutes.
They couldn't have been very intelligent scholars if they were stunned by his using a simple form of integral calculus, it's well documented how he used a 2 96 sided polygons with a circle inscribed and circumscribed to give upper and lower bounds for pi, 3.1429 to 3.1408, basically discovering the concept of limits, a crucial step to calculs.
Wait..., so what you're saying is you expected a politician to have rational views and make principled, unpopular decisions ala the founding fathers?
Cynicism aside, the what's even more annoying than neocons are the anti-neocons, who seems to be acting like spoiled children who can't seem to understand why they aren't getting their way, AND THEN DOING THE EXACT SAME THING! Watching the debates it was almost painful how Bush came away as relating to the common man, while Gore and Kerry were aloof intellectuals. C'mon people, this isn't rocket surgery, it'd probably just take following most of the advice in Carnegie's book How to Win Friends and Influence People.
America's monopoly on grilled cheese technology will now crumble. The govt will crumble, martial law will be declared by the remainders of the military, and armed bandits will roam the wastelands in buttless chaps.
You're brought about the complete destruction of society!

Ok, lets see you break the "approximate" second law of thermodynamics, ie, make a system that decreases in total entropy.
Inertia, the tendancy of an object to keep moving in the absense of external forces, is a property that stems from conservation of momentum, since F = dp/dt = d/dt(mv), or for constant mass, F = ma.
Just cause the parent doesn't suffer fools gladly and is sarcastic and insulting to them doesn't make it a flame.
