This can certainly be true whole "Greek" life thing but if you spend some time talking to people who just graduated high school and those that have just completed freshman year of college I think you may find that those that have been through college are much more mature in general.
True, it should be something that is easily figured out before anything is built so it should at least be explored and may be something that should be considered after it has been built since this is essentially a prototype and may have all sorts of interesting structural and atmospheric challenges.
He probably pursued the chemistry degree because he liked chemistry in high school and was told he needed to go to college to be successful in life. He then grew up and realized he wanted to do something he enjoyed and took up landscaping. For many people college can just be a place to mature in a somewhat controlled and protected environment.
I came to this conclusion a while back when I was looking into the job market and I was running across a very significant number of "entry level" positions that were requiring masters degrees.
These days completing a A.S. degree basically means you can learn, something that graduating high school should prove but hasn't for decades. A B.S. degree typically means you've been exposed to the fundamentals of your field but will likely require extensive training. While a Masters implies some sort of competence in the field. Regardless of the truth of these statements that is how they are perceived and people are trying for every leg up they can get especially in a competitive job market.
The taller the tower the faster the wind speeds generated. It works much like a chimney on steroids except they're going to use the sun to provide the heat as opposed to the more common combustion chamber.
Hmm thinking about it could be a high pressure cell too because it's helping force cold air down... Hopefully someone who knows more about this than me could step in...
It could certainly be entertaining. If it creates enough of a disturbance you could actually use the low pressure (high pressure is cold air) cell that is created to power other peripheral wind turbines.
There is actually a glass that can remove dust particles with no moving parts. I think it was one of those ready for market in 5 years things but the actual concept and implementation seemed fairly simple and was just waiting for a niche beyond solar panels for extraterrestrial vehicles.
So basically you want to create a Meta-Power Plant. While I don't think they need the resonance aspect to it they could certainly add turbines to the outside to capture passing winds (they're doing this on some modern towers), solar underneath (instead of having a black painted floor even), and adding in geothermal (if feasible at that site) would be icing on the cake.
I know:-p His issue is with the most basic and unimportant part of the phone (the same appearance of the primary screen from phone to phone). I think your point was actually very well said.
Just out of curiosity does your dream not support CM7 or the newer version of HeLauncher? I'm just curious why you would be using an ancient version of CM or if there is a reason to not use HELauncher2.
Also thank you for mentioning HELauncher as I hadn't seen it before. Which may be a symptom of my biggest problem with Android, the market ranking system doesn't really highlight any but the most popular apps.
While I completely agree with you, I think you took it a little too far. The GP obviously was talking about look and not function. Obviously no one cares about consistent and uniform function as long as it looks pretty.
One of the more relevant posts. The fact they've gotten stuff gets them a pat on the head. However if they've gotten stuff off the SIPR I would be a bit impressed and expect stuff to hit the fan in short order.
It didn't have to be himself. You can fit an inflatable sheep in a briefcase... Which by the way is a hilarious addition to the bosses briefcase just before a meeting...
Why are you disposing of most of that waste? That is still perfectly good fuel for a slightly different reactor... If you use and reuse the fuel it becomes significantly less dangerous. You don't have to use just Uranium/Plutonium to power a reactor you know...
I wish I had more points to mod you up with. This is one of the better explanations as to why Nuclear Waste is a good thing. I think very few people realize how little there is and even then it isn't waste as such. It can still be used as fuel in a different type of plant. An intelligent design would have a few types of reactors so you could go fuel in at one type of reactor and use it's waste to power another type of reactor on down until you've used as much of the fuel as possible before you throw it away.

I know I'm currently in the minority here but I personally don't think that solar panels detract from the appearance of the house especially if done in such a way that they fit the profile of the house. Ultimately I would love to be able to completely roof a house with solar panels in place of other materials like shingles.

I'll bet it would create some amazing thermals too... in fact it might even become a tourist attraction for bird watchers and gliding enthusiasts.
+1 Insightful for the post by the way.

Go to XDA. You can do everything you need using ADB. If you don't find instructions in the Hero forum check out the Eris forum (Same phone)

That was nicely done. I would say I see a future in Holywood for you but there was way too much plot in there for a movie...
The farther you get away from places like the southwest (which is how you describe) the more resistance you see to solar panels.

I was assuming that was a euphemism for something closer to a power tool actually.
There is a time tested method to solve this problem. Burn them and buy footwear that doesn't get ruined the first time you wear it in a winter storm.
