"But when dissolved in frothy, carbonated seawater, all this CO2 becomes a corrosive gas."
What????? People drink frothy carbonated water all the time and they don't drop dead. It's slightly acidic if anything. It's not this uber chemical of doom.
She had been telling me about seeing these bright lights appear quite recently. She asked people in the parking lot what it was and they thought it was Mars. Now at least there may be another plausible answer.
1) Go to library
2) Find quote(s) you are interested in
3) Photocopy said pages under fair use, or take notes the old fashioned way
4)...
5) Save money (profit?)
Or if you actually worked at a library you would discover that there may be fifty additional steps in that process. Trust me when I say that it isn't always easy finding a book that you need quickly and I work at one of the largest university libraries in Boston.
That's the purpose of the game, to provide an outlet for you to express the parts of your personality that you don't get to express in your everyday life.
Nope. He did a lot of research in order to present the theory. Being a priest, he wasn't in such deep shit as Galileo or Giordano Bruno, but still he was smart enough to have his finding published after he died:)
Actually, Galileo was very popular with the church too.
China has been a world power for -let me see- all known history, and is chinese first and anything else a distant second. They are a pragmatic people, move with slow but sure steps. I certainly hope this move of theirs will have more real tangible benefit to humankind, and not just for political bravado.
China a superpower for all known history????? No. Not even close. China has always been a poor farming country until recently.
Let's just mine the moon of it's natural resources. It won't affect the earth in any way or will it... If we take off any sizable chuck of the moon it will affect the tides.
Give me a f***ing break. From Wikipedia, the "it ain't necessarily trustworthy, but it's readily available" reference
It's weird. Someone else said the same exact thing last week. I have no idea where people got that idea. NASA doesn't even claim that they did. Aparently they did create some odd material that contains teflon. I know because I looked it up on the NASA spinoff's site. Hopefully even more trustworthy than wikipedia.
BMW has been playing with hydrogen powered vehicles for the past 3 years. Not just the little 3s either, they have been running the big 7 series, v8 and v12 motors with an emphasis on drivability not just fuel efficiency. Public availability has yet to be announced. however, there is a large consumer market that will drive any old POS as long as it gets good gas mileage, that must be why honda is the first in...:)
Whooooweeee... I just looked up an article about fuel cells and it appears BMW builds them fast and quickly. http://www.germancarfans.com/news.cfm/NewsID/20409 20.001/bmw/1.html A hyrdrogen powered vehicle that has a maxium speed of 185mph that uses an ICE. It was developed in then monthes. One word wow. Would someone also interpret the data of the vehicle because Im not a car guy.
The second sentence you quoted was meant as droll humor. I disagree that robotic surgery will always need surgeons physically present. I would bet that within two decades a typical surgery will be performed by a team of low paid surgical specialists in the developing world with only a couple of emergency medical technicians actually standing with the patient. And those technicians will feel lucky they have their jobs because they make four dollars an hour more than the greeter over at Wal-mart.
They always will. EMT's do not have the knowledge to save a person if a procedure goes horribly wrong. One scenario which you ignored is the inexperienced surgeon (not an EMT) actually being guided by an experienced surgeon somewhere else. Meh. If you are from Canada this is a good thing because aparently Canadians do not have a sufficient number of specialists in remote areas.
It will be the end of one more high paying profession in the US and contribute toward the slow decline of our economy. I fully expect to someday meet a former medical doctor working at Wal-mart as a greeter, and like all Wal-mart employees he will do his shopping at Wal-mart because that is all he can afford.
Hahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahah. That's funny. Ooo wait. Your serious. That's not funny thats scary. If you actually delved a bit deeper into robotics technology you would discover that this would never happen. Robotic surgeries are always going to need surgeons at the operating table in case something catastrophic happens which has occurred.
Wouldn't it be easier to just train the astronauts to perform surgery themselves? Saves you the cost of developing the robot. Is there any reason to suspect that guiding a surgeon robot will require less skill than doing the cutting by hand?
Robots can filter out extraneous signals like a shaking hand which is extremely useful for surgeons whose hands shake. Im pretty sure that this will account for major whoops moments that someone who isn't a surgeon will experience. Also, another advantage to robotic surgeons is that it's fairly unobtrusive compared to regular regular surgery. The equipment also takes up less space than normal surgical equipment.
30 years ago, I learned in frickin' catholic elementary school that Mars had high-speed winds (on the order of a couple hundred knots), common massive unpredictable dust storms, and other nutty stuff going on, including weird volcanoes and possible large magnitude earth quakes. It would therefore be an almost impossible place to visit. Elton John made a similar point. And if he can agree with the nuns, then there must be some truth to it.
Yes that is a great idea. Let's base our whole opinion of a Mars mission on the opinion of a bunch of nuns and a muscian. They are truly more qualified than a sicentist. Also, Im not sure but I can't find anything about plate tectonics currently being active on Mars. I know there is evidence supporting that it did happen but I don't know if it is currently happening. Do you have any information.
Everyone's fat, happy and enjoying "Pimp my Ride" too much to care about the long-term impact of drastic education underfunding and a general lack of good teachers.
Actually, we spend the most money on education. It's just that in this situation throwing money at the problem is not the answer.
I live right down the street from where matter was supposedly created that exisisted 30 microseconds after the big bang exisists. Just thinking about it makes me what to bash my head up against the wall. No one but theoretical physisists actually understands it.
Evolution on the other hand has an equivalent struggle. The claims it makes cannot be verified in a human timescale.
Actually you can if you use a computer. From there it's just developing a model that is the hard part. There are books written on the subject.
"The big bang,"
Actually there is evidence supporting the big bang also. Namely we have created a form of matter that was theorized to exisist thirty microseconds after the big bang. It's weird stuff because it is a perfect liquid (No viscosity).
I remember reading about a suicide where a person blew himself up. Naturally the blogs picked up on the story and completly trashed the guy by saying he was a terrorist and he wanted to kill people. They provided all these information supporting the fact that he was a terrorist that the Government says is complete bull. Of course I don't know if this is just an effect of news in general or blogging.
it's just there. I just want to try something different. My view on life is to try and learn about everything I can. It's odd though. My university has Mac's, Windows, and Unix computers but as far as I know no Linux computers.
Please. The only way you're going to affect the economy by buying less is if you earn less. If that money is in a bank, it's being used by other people to buy stuff. Note I am not a accountatnt. Actually, that only works if you are place your money into a savings account. The bank they has the right to go use your money and spend it as they please in turn for giving you some interest. Checking accounts probably don't work like that because it would be retarded if the bank tried to borrow my money because I could use my money in the account when the bank just used it.
It's the government's IP. No doubt about it.

Patents vs. Secrecy
·
· Score: 1
If the Pentagon makes your patent secret, will they compensate you? I know that's a hard call as far as value is concerned. But let's say you're in negotiations with some company. You're coming to an amount of $5 million. Will the Pentagon send you a check for $5 million. Will they compensate the company in negations with you too? Or will they just say "Eminent Domain" and just take the thing and if you object, put you in jail?
Im fairly certain that it's not anyone's intellectual property but the United States government. At least any sane company would not let their pions have sole use to IP. Even my University has a rule stating that any IP created using their property is partially theirs.

Yeah. I know that's why she called me.:) She knew it wasn't Mars because it was something in the sky she has never seen before.
She had been telling me about seeing these bright lights appear quite recently. She asked people in the parking lot what it was and they thought it was Mars. Now at least there may be another plausible answer.
You mean that secret desire to cross dress???

They just weren't bought in highly religious areas.
