US has unique problems. Last time I came back from Dallas I had to swerve my car hundreds of times to avoid the numerous flag burnings all up and down I-35 (or was that just the combination of Jack Daniels and cold medicine kicking in?) We should support our president in protecting the American flag from the armies of satanic liberals lined up to vomit on this symbol of our freedom.
Even worse, gays are destroying marriage. As one Fox news commentator pointed out the other day, next thing will be marriage to snakes (already performed in some Christian sects). Marriage is intended to be between a man and a woman until divorce decreee and property settlement do they part. The president and our congress are going to amend the US Constitution to preserve marriages for destruction by more conventional means (divorce on the grounds of adultery is a personal favorite).
Genetic engineering is the most powerful technology ever developed by man. It's potential for both harm and benefit seem limitless, yet we know little for certain. The concern is that greedy multinationals are busy marketing it as safe and effective with the same amount of safety research that brought you tobacco and Vioxx.
We're like infants who've found daddy's guns. Right now we've got the barrel in our mouth, and wondering what the trigger does.
There was a statistically significantly difference in the number of times I got laid as an employee vs. as a contractor. However the longer I was a contractor at any given site, the more likely I was to get laid at employee rates.
One thing about BSG is the effortless casting of women in numerous powerful roles. President Ross is a middle aged woman with terminal breast cancer. The toughest good guy is Kara Thrace, a female. The toughest bad guy is #6, a female Cylon. The traitorous Boomer is female Cylon.
Katy Sakhoff (Kara Thrace, callsign Starbuck) is simply an amazing. Imho.
Stratospheric ozone (O3) and O2 exist in an equilibrium, constantly being converted to and from one another by reaction with UV light.
Free chlorine in the stratosphere in the presence of a substrate like SO2 or PSCs (polar stratospheric clouds) can "tilt" the equilibrium toward O2 (O3 + Cl- => O2 + ClO).
The Antarctic has a far more extensive PSC layer because of its larger cold air mass relative to the Artic, thus the ozone hole there is larger even though most sources of stratospheric Cl are in the northern hemisphere.
In the Antarctic night, when no new O2 is being created by the UV raction, the Cl-influenced equilibrium swings dramatically toward O2, causing the famed "ozone hole".
Stratosperic chlorine is almost entirely man-made. Volcanoes and sea water produce water soluble forms of Cl that wash out in precipitation before reaching the stratosphere. CFC's and similar Cl- and Fl-containing molecules are mostly insoluble in water, and when released mix in the atmosphere at as "trasporter" molecules. They mix in the stratosphere where the Cl molecule is released by the strong UV light at that altitude.
Supervolcanoes like the one under Yellowstone would definitely alter the Cl budget in the upper atmosphere. But even Pinatubo, the largest volcano of the 20th century, changed stratospheric Cl by only 6-7%.
Volcanoes do inject SO2 into the stratosphere in singificant amounts. That SO2 can act like a global PSC layer, depleting ozone world-wide.
Hope this helps....
And X years ago, a doctor would've told you that tumor on your neck was caused by an evil toad curse. Science progresses. Come to terms with that, and know enlightenment.
You have to find and then trust the experts on this, because you can't research everything down to the last decimal point (unless it's PC related, of course). You do this every day when you trust everything from elevators to toothpaste, so get used to it.
So line up the scientific elite on both (or n-) sides of this question. What you'll find are the top climate research groups on the planet are pro-global warming. And and on the other side, is one bucktooth guy named "Dr. Earl" whose sister/wife was given $20 by a consortium of coal companies to say "it's all just bullshit".
Check it out for yourself.
I needed a scanner, and an inkjet came free attached to the bottom of an almost free HP all-in-one. I use the inkjet infrequently, mainly for test pages to assure the cartridge nozzles don't dry out.
Alamo showed the William Castle horror movie "The Tingler" starring Vincent Price, complete with Castle's original extras: Lloyds of London insurance policies issued to all movie goers, and electric buzzers installed under random seats.
Best of all though was when int he middle of the movie, someone stood up, screamed, and fainted across the theater. The movie stopped, the lights came up, and two nurses in skimpy outfits came down the aisle and took the poor soul away on a stretcher! All that plus beer and pizza.

By Arthur C. Clarke. I was going to say why but can't bear spoiling surprises.
If I make copies of a disk, is there software that can later determine which sectors have gone bad, and put together a new working copy?

Maybe The Designer wasn't so bright after all.

I can no longer afford to drink and drive but the liquor store won't deliver. Will hydrogen save me?

Anything with a shelf life of seven years is a fossil, not a savory dinner time treat.
