The other problem with global dimming is that less light reaches crops, which causes lower global crop yield. The amount lost may only be a small fraction, but globally thats a few thousand people without food.
How more so than a liquid one? Both will burn very well. In fact, a gas fueled car may be slightly safer in accidents. When the tank is punctured in an accident (and if the fuel doesn't explode), then it dissipates into the air, rather than pooling around the car to watch fire later.
Actually, his argument is "You argue God has no limits. The rules concerning whether to allow someone into Heaven are limits (these rules, you also argue, exist). Therefore God has limits."
Not to be pedantic, but the star wars game series was Battlefront; Battlefield was the EA games franchise, which coincidentally has some rather good Star Wars mods. Galactic Conquest for BF1942 for example.
Why can't we attach a container to a missle and send it on a one-way trip to the Sun?
Do the decision makers feel there is that high of a chance of early-stage accident causing the spread of radiation and waste throughout the planet?
That is exactly the problem. Launch vehicles are too expensive and unreliable for this. If it were done on a large scale with the launch vehicles we have now, there'd be a large number of failures resulting in atmospheric/wide area release of nuclear waste.
True, but most of Hubbles images are in false colour. All the nebulae and supernova remnants for example are too faint to be seen by the naked eye excepts as greyish clouds, so the iconic images seen on APOD are actually colourised IR or UV images.
Well, all good things come to an end. Cheer up, the JW telescope will be able to produce even better images and data thanks to the technological advances of the last twenty years, and the lessons learned from Hubble.
Well, my old school is considering dumping MS Office and moving to OO.o to save the thousands of pounds licensing fees every year, freeing the funds up for new PCs, or new desks (beautiful solid wood writing desks they had, but unsuitable for computing), or staff room upgrades.
Well, no. It may or may not have evolved, or it may have been Created(TM). Since we do not know, we must consider both to be true. Finally, a solution to that debate.
Supreme Commander comes out in February. Its team is headed by Chris Taylor, who also headed SupCom. He said he wants it to be the spiritual successor to TA (he can't make a true sequel because Atari are sitting on the license)
I've played the Beta version, and it's exactly like TA, only with a zoom and bigger units/maps/unitlimit/graphics. Of course, It'll be better in a year or 3 when the 3rd party mods have been released and the game is patched, and a PC good enough to run it on all-full settings is cheap enough.

A dozen? One will be enough - he can just clip through their walls.
Privatising, like the UK Rail industry, whose CEOs spent so little on track maintenance that trains crashed and people died?

Won't somebody please think of the pimps?

What's so unromantic about sticking your name onto a "payload" and "shooting" it into space on a "rocket"?

I think AMD/ATi, Nvidia, Intel et al may have something to say about that.

Microsoft would probably buy the USS Iowa, refit it, and declare war on Sealand.

Incorrect. To see how wrong you are, go to google images and type in "women playing with toys".
I believe the common use of the term refers to the ability to end all life, everywhere (with the exception of cockroaches and certain bacteria).
Let us hope that this never happens to the internet.
Anyone else getting deja vu from this thread?
