And I JUST beat Deus Ex again.
If Mr. Page announces the implementation of an Aquinas protocol I may just have to start up the NSF.
Having seen both knife and gun suicides, I have to disagree. Most people who kill themselves with a knife are kind enough to do so in a bathtub or at least the bathroom, making cleanup rather simple thanks to tile floors and whatnot.
Gunshots tend to splatter parts of people all over the walls. People that pull off the trick with a rifle or shotgun leave a serious mess for people to cleanup.
tl;dr
Think of the cleanup crew. Use a knife. Unless you are in the U.K., which has no guns or knives by law. If you live there, be creative! But be CLEAN.
If we mine the volcano surface with nuclear weapons and detonate them when the volcano is ready to blow, we could mitigate the effect of the blast (or horribly magnify it if done wrong. This could make for a great (read:lousy) sci-fi movie!)
>or the Federal Reserve setting interest rates for fiat currency.
Just a quick clarification; The U.S. currency is not a "fiat" currency. A fiat currency is based on nothing. If you want an example of that, google "zimbabwe economy."
The U.S. dollar is based on debt. I'd go into further detail, but I am technically supposed to be working right now.
Also, the key factor was legislature mandating that credit be given out to bad risks, not that credit be given out in and of itself.
A debt based economy is more than workable so long as the people manning the helm don't fall into the trap of thinking that exponential growth rates are sustainable. Unfortunately, convincing economists otherwise is a task only accomplished by things like recent events. Even then, such an event only reminds them of this fact for a short period of time.
But we have more than enough junk car yards. Trust me, you could get the parts needed for cheap. It's the fully functioning new cars that cost money (and even those are pretty cheap right now, thank you Mr. Bush)
I suggest you read "Blind Man's Bluff", which explains how we used such a sub to tap a russian undersea cable to great effect.
Of course, when the russians finally discovered the breach and dug up the cable, they were somewhat amused to see the giant plaque on the side of the bug proclaiming it to be "Property of the United States of America."
Considering how old that technology now is, I'm sure that by now they have even more advanced toys to play with.
I was actually wondering how long it would take for us to get there. Sadly, my command of invective is not very great, and from your username I can hazard a guess that yours is far superior.
I know. I just like using slugs more, personally. Though there is a.50 AR-15 that I am considering getting that would also be a hilariously viable option for this kind of work.
12 gauge slugs to the tires and engine block of the truck will not only stop their thefts, but send a clear message to the criminals in the area to fuck off.

It should be noted that research in this field has been stunted by politicians on the left and right side of the aisle, and that is the actual reason why hydrogen research has been as far out of reach as it has been.
When I can't even buy chemicals for my chemistry lab without the BATFE knocking on my door, don't expect scientists to come up with great leaps of technology. Of course, most of us backyard chemists got poor press thanks to the radioactive boyscout.
Educating people is the answer, not banning everything in sight.
Hire adventurers? Put an exclamation point in front of the hiring place and gun toting wow players will naturally gravitate towards the quest giver. Set up cameras and sell footage to TV shows. Adventurers get salvage rights on the pirates taken out, everyone wins.
Call it the Naval Interdiction Nullification Joint Assault program. Or for short, the NINJA program.

Robert Heinlein wrote a book where merchant ships scooting through space were armed with nuclear rockets to blow the pirates straight to hell because the government cruisers, while effective, were few and far between.
Obviously, we don't need to go nuclear on the pirates, but some small arms would go a long way to curbing the problem. Bigger ships can get bigger guns.
Arm each ship with some guns and grenade launchers. Scale up as appropriate for larger ships. Problem solved.

Some people have the will and the skill to explore. Even more are willing to die for the chance. Don't worry, there will be plenty of volunteers.
Don't worry, you missed his point too:
What he wrote:
>but I'm also all about folks speaking English in America.
What you wrote:
>And yes, I agree with you - you should learn to speak the native languages of this country.
Seems we shouldn't bother with the extra languages until we can get people that claim to speak English to actually understand English.
I hate to go OT... but I saw your sig and I have to ask...
Does he beat Uwe Boll in cinematic disasters?
You mean planing some wood, right?

Can we challenge them both to juris macto and scatter their ashes across the plains, or would that be illegal?

So I'll just concede that battle.
As far as their views go, yes, they can equal each other.
>So, according to you, Obama == democrats.
As far as his voting record is concerned, yes.

>It's only in the last two years or so, with Obama rising, that the oppressive feeling has left.
Explain this.
Seriously, the "Bush is bad, Obama is good!" chanting reminds me too much of animal farm.
How about a space "cannon" like in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress then?
Fixed that for ya.
