You can look at many other issues from the series the same way. In Star Trek, we have hints of underclasses. In B5, we have the area of "down below", which features prominently in several episodes, where real people suffer real problems because of real mistakes. In Star Trek, when a shuttle is in trouble we bounce it off an atmosphere and tractor beam it home. In BSG, it crashes or explodes, killing or stranding whoever was on board, even if there are major characters involved. In Star Trek, admirals are good guys or traitors. In BSG, we have the whole Pegasus story arc, where very bad stuff happens because two good people have different perspectives.
Obviously you haven't watched enough Star Trek because even I know that your argument is a completely wrong. All of those issues were dealt with in DS9 and is probably the main reason why I can't watch BSG because plot wise they are essentially the same. Substitute the Cylons with shapeshifters and you essentially have the same plot points and issues for good reasons.
How much carbon dioxide does a single tree consume in a year of respiration and how many trees could be planted for $25 million?
Not going to work. Discover Magazine had an article about the fallacy of trees being the solution to global working. You would barely be making a dent. Not to mention the fact that the trees need time to mature. Fires would completely screw up your solution. http://www.discover.com/issues/aug-05/features/cou nting-carbons/?page=3
. I think a pandemic that could potentially reduce this burden, especially in SE Asia where those countries seem hell bent on destroying the environment in just about every way.
Not going to happen. The last pandemic which everyone is comparing this one two only knocked off a few percentage points of the population at best. Twenty percent of the world came down with it which is a large number but not as many as those killed.
There ATM's if they where to post the atm key then they may go down fast.
Thank you. I now remember every atm machine I see is a Diebold machine. I remember specifically that fact if only because of the voting machine problems.
Irobot just recently released their newest product called the Create. Essentially it is a stripped down Rhoomba created for the sole purpose of building off of it. A blank slate if you will to do whatever you want to with it. Now mind you this came out after four different generations of robots but it seems like an acceptance by a company that people want to hack them and that they could sell something solely for that purpose.
Who got this stupid notion that the United States doesn't have traffic circles?
Nobody said they didn't. But have you ever sat around watching Americans try to figure one out? (Actually new england apparently has enough that new england natives can figure it out as long as there aren't any foreigners screwing things up)
Only once in my whole entire life I have seen someone do something entirely stupid in a roundabout. You'd have to be an idiot to screw up it but the only time is when someone started backing up. My mother and I sat in awestruck about how the person didn't get the concept of a circle.
For other brits out there, I've just googled "traffic circle" and I can confirm that the yanks haven't just made up another term for "roundabout".
No, in this case they've also entirely buggered up the fundamental design too!

Except for the fact that the vast majority of traffic circles are your roundabouts. Legally there is a difference between a roundabout and a traffic circle. Unfortunately, very few people make the distinction.
I think the new entry should start, "Gracenote founder Steve Scherf has come a long way from his younder days of meth-fueled llama sodomizing. While once it looked like he'd soon die in a gutter, that six months he spent in the federal pen for killing a bussload of nuns while drunk (which he coyly refers to as "Happy happy shower butt fun time") cleaned him up, allowing him to become the ruthless corporate asshat we know today."
Revisionist history works both ways, Steve. Don't fuck with the geek masses - We can "fix" your entries MUCH faster than you can.
Yeah except for the fact that you'd have to have a bunch of geeks pissed off enough to jeprodize the entire wikipedia project. Thats just stupid. Lets give him a legit reason for him to sue us. Yay.
Not sure exactly what you meant to ask, but here goes.
Well my question is if it it's possible to be poisoned by another alpha source that is more easily available like the source found in smoke detector or other devices.
Can you be poisoned by any Alpha source entering your body or is it just a problem with certain types? I was just wondering this because there are radiation sources all around this. Im not a chemist so I wouldn't really know the answer to this but Slashdot has plenty of people who can answer this?
and turn it into a coin. Not this half-assed production of a few coins and predominantly bills. Get it over with and make it purely coins. It'll make vending machines more convenient. Coins are easily distinguishable.
On mony, just have an imprinted (raised) mark whereever the denomination number is printed. It doesn't have to be elaborate - just dots like braile.
I'm surprised this didn't come sooner with the Americans with disabilities act, or some such.
No. Not going to happen because not all vending machines accept dollar coins. Its one of the reasons why the coins never caught on.
In europe, we have roundabouts instead of intersections, for the most part. Keeps the traffic flowing, and all in roughly the same direction. American-style dumb-+ intersections are death traps. In my one visit to america, I saw two crashes at intersections in two weeks. I have no idea why americans are allergic to roundabouts. It's not like they're patented or something. Anyone care to explain?
Perhaps because if we were to replace the intersections with traffic circles we would be going around circles 99.9999999% of the time we are on the road. I can't really imagine it though. Every single intersection would become a roundabout???? There is something Im missing.
It's long been said that traffic, if devoid of speed limits, can self-regulate itself. It's why two four-lane highways, one with a 55 mph speed limit and one with a 65 mph speed limit will both see the same basic average speed of travel.
It's a four lane highway. That's why you get some pretty decent order. Now try comparing that to a situation where you four way intersection with two lanes on each side. It's going to be a disaster without some form of order and rules because everyone isn't pshyic and that's why some rules like right of way exist.
http://www.badscience.net/?p=270 Presumably they ended up faking an explosion where they placed lithium?? (Something highly reactive around lithium) into the bath tub. It just didn't explode so they blew it up using explosives. Much worst than the Mythbusters where their explosions actually happen and if it doesn't they make it clear they are blowing up stuff.
What about them????? Or are we talking about a possible use for the technology. That would be an excellent idea. I know I was told about someone who created turbines that would work in the ocean. Only problem was how do you transmit the energy because you'd need wires a few feet wide.
...how the hell are you supposed to stack anything on top of it?? Why can't engineers make something that is pretty AND functional. Including enough space for front-to-back air movement.
It's not the engineers job. That is the designers job. Designers work on aesthetics and engineers work making sure that the designers idea is feasible.
I'd love to see a list of projects in table format that show either mission success or mission failure and the reasons behind the failure.
The vast majority of programs are failures but that's only because it's so dam hard. Sure there were a couple of DOH moments but not as many as just fate taking it's toll.

This guy is measuring a voltage that is higher than our main voltage by twenty volts. Ten volts is plausible but twenty????

As long as you are taking pictures from a public place there is no problem. Its against Federal law for someone to prevent otherwise.
They have every right to take pictures along the road. Its the law as long as they aren't on any private roads. Plus, I can't see any problems between this and google earth. Google Earth has done the same thing. http://newsads.blogspot.com/2006/09/google-earth-s hows-topless-sunbather.html
