The occupants will be protected as they are less conductive then the car, the electronics on the the other hand have a good chance of getting fried. Emp generators have been used to stop a car so the car doesn't act as a Faraday cage, it's probably because the car is not grounded and the metal container is not continuous.
The problem is that many Christians believe that scientists are using misguided experiments to disprove the existence of God, the Miller-Urey experiment is often used as the proof that life can be created synthetically, there are many problems with that conclusion* and many religious people see it as a baseless attack. The way I see it is you have two groups pushing their agenda the Atheist vs the fundamental Christians both using bad science to "prove" their point.
*assumptions of early earth atmosphere, the levels of ammonia and methane were significantly higher then what is believed to be possible
- both types of amino acids were formed it the experiment proteins can not form in the presence of right-hand proteins and there is no known natural was to separate them
-the concentrations of amino acids in a solution needed for proteins to form are much higher then the experiment can produce
You can get a decent steak Ribeye $10/pound, Mac and cheese $0.25 per serving, rice $0.1 per serving, salad $1 per serving, and drink $7 6 beers for under $20.
A similar ribeye is going to cost $15-25 with one beer $3-$5 and tip $3-$5 you are easily spending more and getting much less.
Even taking out drinks you still can't come close.
The point is that claiming a quota system "always" leads to degradation of standards is a blanket statement that ignores the fact that some quota systems are designed to cancel out inefficiencies that already exist. The original Taco Cowboy point is based on an over-simplified view of reality (that the "default" lacks any sort of biases).
But I think it's incredibly obvious that there's a bias against women in any male-dominated field, just as there's a bias against men in female-dominated fields. No one can reasonably claim that society doesn't apply a lot of gender roles in every aspect of a person's life, so any task dominated by one gender will by nature be harder to get at for the other, because the context the minority group has as less applicable.
That is not bias, bias is not hiring a female in the IT field because they are female, it's impossible to determine if the reason there are so few women enter the field is because of societal pressures or simply because women are not as interested in the field. The claim that society steers women into other fields early in a child's life is irrelevant because once they are adults they will not have the skills of their male peers, and thus would be inferior. A quota system can not undo these problems, you simply can not make up for a decade of missed education opportunities and fix it by making the path easier.
Delusion is the most power weapon they have in their arsenal, they realized their "power" when they attacked Scientology, and whipped it off the map. I would compare anonymous to a kid with a stick it's great for poking things bigger then you when there is a cage between you (anonymity), but as soon as there is no cage they have no real power as was shown with the Mexican cartel. If they truly want to see how powerless they are they can go ahead and release the classified data they claim they have and watch how many members are rounded up for treason. They think governments fear them but truly governments don't see them as a threat and as soon as that changes they're in for a sobering realization.
So whats the penalty of presenting Ideas that have no scientific merit? Take global warming as an example should the scientist that came up with poor predictions based on bad assumptions, malicious or not, that influenced policy be held accountable for it? Should their research grants be taken away? The problem with Global warming/ Climate Change is that the uncertainty is too high right now to draw conclusions as to the true relation between emissions and impacts on the environment. If you are calling for a purely logical approach then that is what must happen, any and all speculation would have to be removed for you plan to work and as brilliant as our scientist are it is an impossible task. Once you let speculation in it degrades from a scientific debate to a debate.
Gold stickers, cash, pats on the back all do very little to motivate a worker, what it comes down to is the workers pride in what they do. Everything else is in the noise when compared to a person's own work ethic. No amount of external reward will ever be enough to motivate a lazy person to work hard, a manager's job is to enable his employees to do their job. We hired a group of folks recently because the company they were working for insisted that the control system that they were developing use windows because every computer had to have windows. The manager took his group and the contract over to us because he wasn't going to deal with converting 5 years of custom software that worked perfectly fine on Linux over to windows.
they are not tracked, this is the way it works, I go to vote I get the voting card that I put in the voting machine, my electronic votes go on the card randomly given to me out of the 30 that they use, my paper vote goes on the voting machine of my choosing, the only possible way that my vote could be known is if the receipt was removed from the machine that I just voted at, or the card was read immediately after I voted. The paper and electronic systems give the same amount of privacy.
Atomic Hydrogen Welding gets much hotter then other welding 4,000C,oxy-acetylene 3100C, oxy-mapp 2900C, oxy-hydrogen 2800C. It was either tungsten or a tungsten alloy they were working with for a rocket nozzle as tungsten melts at 3400C. Atomic Hydrogen welding works by the arc breaking up the H2 into 2 H atoms the two hydrogen atoms absorb a significant amount of energy from the arc. Then when the hydrogen atoms hit the colder metal they recombine into H2 and release all the energy they absorbed.
How can an electronic voting machine with a paper receipt fall into that category, if anyone protests the results the paper receipts are counted which are marked with a uid to ensure no tampering will occur they are just a secure as a paper ballot.
I was with you until you said that. Voter fraud is a complete non-issue, and voter-ID initiatives are only meant to disenfranchise the working poor that cannot afford to take a day off to get the ID in the first place. The 'fraud' that is so rampant as to warrant this has never been proven, not on a scale to justify it at all, but if you talk to the mouth breathers on the far-right in this country, the fact that we haven't caught the massive fraud just "proves that the fraud is widespread"...
Of course, we all know the real reason they think there's fraud...they picked the wrong horse and don't like being on a losing team...
Posted AC because, while everyone knows it's true, I will get modded down by the right-wing whackjobs anyway...
How many of the working poor do not have a driver license? How many of the working poor that do not have a drivers license, work M,T,W,Th,F,and Sat the days when they could get the ID. You talk about few cases of ID fraud being brought to light, but how many people does this law really affect? I'm betting that the percentage of people that will be excluded from voting due to lack of identification, is about the same percentage of voting fraud that occurs.
Not posted AC, because I am not a coward and I don't care if I get modded down by the left-wing whackjobs anyway.
The electronic record is used for the initial count and if there are no discrepancies in the electronic voting then the electronic vote is used for the finial tally. When there are discrepancies or challenges by candidates is when the paper receipt is used, paper has the advantage of being much harder to forge but the problem is that counting is inaccurate, electronic voting is the opposite it is much easier to change votes but it can be tallied quickly.
A few years ago my former company sent out a memo that they had become aware that bottles of explosives were being stored in the building, and that hydrogen tanks were no longer allowed in the building. Some of our machinists had to do hydrogen welding and had the supplier call it diatomic protium they had no problems with it then.
The problem is not interest rates for student loans, the problem is this fallacy that everyone should go to college, 50% of kids in the US go on to college, more then 50% of jobs don't require a college diploma. So these students now have debt because they had to go to college to get a good job and can only get a manual labor job to pay off their debt. The same thing happened with homes, the "everyone should own a home" mantra drowned out the "can everyone afford a home" reasoning, leading to people getting government backed loans raising home prices and eventually the reckless lending ended the only way it could.
You do know that one of the motivations to fast and furious was because is was going to be used to erode the 2nd amendment. It wasn't just gun running it was doing so in a plan to weaken the constitution.
This is not all the FBI is doing though. The "suspect" not presented with a plot on day one and then ignored forever if they say no thanks. These guys are softened up first and encouraged to become more radical. Then maybe a plot is suggested, and suggested over and over until their resistance is worn down. The FBI is not infiltrating existing terrorist cells or finding existing terrorists. They do not open up a fake arms store and wait for customers to show up unprompted.
What you just described is entrapment, the FBI know what it is and avoids it, there are three conditions that must be met for entrapment to occur.
1)That the FBI/informants came up with the plan, they avoid this by asking the suspect how would they want to commit the crime or simply let them share their plans.
2)The FBI/informants persuaded the suspect to commit the crime, they simply facilitate the crime not coax the person into committing it.
3)The person was not ready and willing to commit the crime before FBI involvement, again they just give the opportunity.
Just yesterday such a event happened, a group of OWS protesters planned to bomb a bridge in Ohio but the explosives were fake. They met a parolee at an OWS protest in October who became an informant once their plan became clear. The FBI does not go around and try to get people to commit crimes they get tips from people and then act on those tips.

A car is not a Faraday cage, there are gaps and it is NOT grounded, if a car were a Faraday cage cell phones would not work in them.

They are if they use conductive ink.

Maybe in the US but our neighbors across the pond tend to use queue a lot.
Who has claimed Obama is a terrorist? Even people that claim Obama is muslim think this is far fetched.

I'd add Columbia and Mexico, but one could conceivably argue that these are small guerrilla conflicts.
When 50 bodies with their heads hands and feet removed are found on the side of the highway the conflict is not small.

The sewer authority? I never knew.
80% of the US is on a sewer system, they can rain down a shit storm of epic proportions.

You're an idiot and are detrimental to your own point. I do believe World War 2 happened before the 1960s.

All three of those criteria must be met for it to be entrapment. If two out of the three are met but one is not it's not entrapment.
You do know that one of the motivations to fast and furious was because is was going to be used to erode the 2nd amendment. It wasn't just gun running it was doing so in a plan to weaken the constitution.
The real morons are the ones who can't tell the difference between a sting and entrapment.
I'm guessing you are one of them, do you know what has to happen for entrapment to occur?
