Thanks for that insight Coco! Now get back in your cage and stop using my Wi-Fi! Keep Coco in a Faraday cage, and you can kill two birds with one stone!
Shortly after Comedy Central put its archives online, Canadian viewers trying to access Comedy Central's website were blocked. In response (?) to this, the (Canadian) Comedy Network has put up this page to catch those users.
The Comedy Network's website has full episodes of South Park all the way back to season 1, as well as full episodes of TDS and TCR (not just clips you can watch here and there). You're also able to view it in full screen, which I can't recall whether the Comedy Central page let you do.
it wouldn't need much, 1.3 kg of air is about 1 cubic meter in size leaking over a day's time. Thanks for putting this amount in different terms.
To a non-physicist like myself (who is used to being in places where the pressure inside the container/vehicle/building is roughly the same as that outside), "three pounds of air" is a hard concept for me to understand, especially when it is "lost".
Compounding this comprehension problem is that pressure is (in some places) measured in pounds per square inch, even though the pounds in that term are in an entirely different context.
However, I still kinda find it hard to grasp the idea of losing a cubic metre of air, because at the end of the day, the ISS's volume hasn't decreased by this amount.
Maybe it would have been more tangible for the article to have expressed this in terms of starting and ending atmospheric pressures inside the ISS after losing 3 lb of air, or at least the percentage difference between these two figures.
The current Canadian government is more interested in mirroring American political issues than doing the bidding of it's own people. Yes, and they try to sell it by calling it a "Made in Canada" solution (ironically, another mirror of US politics).
If someone can't keep their primary and secondary groups separate, then they probably don't have many friends to worry about embarrassing themselves to.
This graph reminds me of the North-American crime rate graph. Even though crime is much lower today than it was at its peak in the mid-'90s, it is down to a rate that in the '60s was considered extremely high.
Looking at Google's graph, it barely registers a blip. I believe it is what stock marketers call a "correction". It's down to about 67% from a peak of about 73%--where it was barely 15 months ago. And the tail end of the graph is turning back up.
The recent drop in the graph is far less dramatic than the drop in early '05--and it only went up after that.
Researchers have shown how PRIVATE DATA released to the public can be linked to already public information. Somehow this seems like one of those obvious[-in-hindsight] studies.
Isn't there always a risk when you release private data to the public, especially when it involves something they have written?
As an example, specific people who are banned from web forums are often recognized fairly quickly by users based on their writing/argument styles alone.
No, he's talking about that time when the White House had Fear Factor as a corporate sponsor, and the Oval Office was used as Joe Regan's dressing room.
Trust me, you did not want to use the cafeteria during that period!
I think that this confirms the sad truth that "Futurama" must be the most intellectual TV show of recent years (excluding University Challenge). Why is this a sad thing? Because it is animated instead of with real characters? Because it makes people laugh? Because it has an extremely talented and capable production team? Because it speaks to current events with amusing analogies instead of directly?
Something should not have to be boring to be intellectual.

If they can also ban Celine Dion from performing in Canada, we might just have a deal.
