Go read Secrets of the Samurai by Oscar Ratti and Adele Westbrook, and realize that Japan would have lost more than half of its population in an insane struggle for "honor" had it not been for the A bomb.
And this concludes today's lesson on why revisionist historians are complete morons.
Hmmm..., I'll agree about coke, but if the moon was made of carfentanil, 4000x potency of heroin, with heroin at about 100k/kg, bring back only 100kg, and you get 40 billion in revenue.
"It has been known for decades that electrons can only inhabit certain discrete shells of probability about the nucleolus of an atom. Similarly for the nucleolus, the protons and neutrons can only take up certain desirable configurations. We don't know all the details of how this comes to happen, but the laws of geometry and topology govern it, perhaps as a result of actions taking place in dimensions above the normal 3+1."
Um, this is pure crap. Get out Griffths Intro to QM, read find the part where you calculate electron wavefunction psi around the NUCLEUS ( where you get the S, P, D, F, etc orbitals in chem, they get even more complicated - take a look http://www.orbitals.com/orb/orbtable.htm ) by seperation into spherical coordinates, and you see that topology and geometry have nothing to do with it. Furthermore, if you read some of Griffiths, you actually calculate that electorns spend approximate 1*10^-15 s *inside* the nucleus, you can prove Feynman's senior thesis, and other incredibly interesting stuff. Once you get into actual physics, its like tasting caviar coming from eating rice cakes, you'll never go back. So throw away A Brief History of Time and whatever Greene wrote, and read Einstein's highly accessable papers http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7328143/ or such instead, I highly recommend it.

Wow! It seems that not only whites are Caucasian, but Egyptians and other North Africans, Arabs, and Indians are too! Gee, isn't it funny how some words actually have specific meanings!
Northwestern vs. UIC rilvary? That's news to me, I would think it'd be more along the line of U of C vs. Northwestern. Hmm..., maybe if no rilvary exists, we could start one. I help you prank UIC, you help me prank Northwestern. As Doonesbury says, nothing beats class betrayal.
Yeah, I totally agree even now that I want more time, it'd be awesome to be able to sleep an hour a day and be refreshed so I can get more stuff done, though I think I could achieve the same result if I didn't waste so much time, probably should actually read 7 Habits and apply it.
Technically it's in the Soviet Union, Soviet Russia only applies to Russia when it was part of the USSR, it'd be "In Soviet Kazakhstan...". I've heard Ukrainians and some other former Soviets get pissed at being called Russian.
For an interesting account of the USSR from the 50's to 90's, mostly during the 80's to Yelstein, check out Lenin's Tomb by David Remnick. It avoids most of the pro/anti Soviet propaganda in many other books i've read, and I never realized how much Gorbachev did for freedom, or even Kruschev. I highly recommend it.
Ah. For me the CTA has been a godsend, but that's because at UIC you get unlimited rides for $75 a semester, and friends and I would usually only go to places that were close to CTA stops like movies or restaurants.
What public transportation are you taking that costs $15 round trip? The L and CTA are 1.75 + 30 cent transfer, and the Metra should be around $5 round trip.
The reason that CDs are harder to write to is because of their very nature. Floppy disks and Flashdrives, as far as I recall, have a traditional track/sector file system, while with CDs you have one continuous track, and need all sorts of information to tell the computer what parts of the track go to what file.
Nono, you don't live in Canada, we changed the name to America Jr. Oh, that reminds me, uh yeah, we're getting rid of your universal health care. Been meaning to tell you guys aboot that.
Does the use of commas versus decimal points ever cause any problems with lists of numbers, i.e. 3,450 could be interpreted as three thousand... or the two numbers 3 and 450? Just curious.
psychopath ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sk-pth)
n.
A person with an antisocial personality disorder, manifested in aggressive, perverted, criminal, or amoral behavior without empathy or remorse.
I see no evidnce of antisocialness, or agressive, perverted, criminal behavior or amoralness, there's no evidence of no empathy, he has nothing to be remorseful about ( unless being well off counts ). He said he sees no evidence of the country being worse off, and gave an example of himself. You, on the other hand, try to sound like you some know it all ( "classical..." ), and make ad homiem attacks on his character.
Jesus christ, can't we have some civilized discussions here involving politics.
You lived though it did you? So I assume you're either in the military or worked in the twin towers? C'mom, just admit you're a rabit Bush hater that'll bitch about anything.

Uranium is about $80/kg http://www.romawa.nl/nereus/uranium.html, while gold is $436/oz = $15347/kg.http://goldinfo.net/gold1.html

and using Pe^(rt), I get that the real price increased from $70 to $115, while it goes for $350, giving it an investment value of 4.8 percent, which isn't great for a collectable, but if you used it and had it sitting in your attic a pretty decent return.
