Salts actually *lower* the melting point/freezing point. That's why they put salt on icy/snowy roads, and why an ice/salt mixture is used to make ice cream at home - it's colder than plain water/ice.
I'm sure that's what you were thinking of...you probably just thought "they put salt on ice and it melts, so it must be getting warmer" - but really the freezing point becomes lower than the current temperature, so it melts.
Nope. Ice melts at 32F/0C as long as it's pure water. Putting more heat in doesn't raise the temperature above 32F until the ice is melted. Latent heat vs. sensible heat.
Great, but it sounds like it requires more knowledge (and work) than AdBlock to use, not less. So for the guy's grandma (stereotype of ignorant/lazy/fearful user) it's not the best way to go.
They should have had them converted to Super 8 before they launched and brought their Super 8 projector and aluminized rollup screen with them. It'd be like Apollo days, great nostalgia.
Your sig is right on. Why is four hours a huge deal? I've waited longer than that due to weather, airlines overbooking, and other reasons. As long as they treated him decently for the four hours this should not be a big issue.
Ah, you're right. I forgot about those cases. But they are exceptions, not the norm. I haven't watched Jeopardy! in a long time.
I always thought I would have done well on Jeopardy! but not as well as that guy from Utah.
I know you were going for funny, but in reality Jeopardy never uses one(or two)-word answers. There are too many possible questions for a one-word answer.
Example: A: Caesar
Q: Who crossed the Rubicon and said 'the die is cast'? Q: Who said 'Et tu Brute?' when he was assassinated? Q: Which Roman emperor adopted his great nephew Octavian who later became Augustus Caesar? Q: What salad is made with Romaine lettuce, anchovies, garlic and lemon? etc. etc.
Instead you use the long answer and get a short question:
A: This Roman emperor adopted his great nephew Octavian who later became Augustus Caesar. Q: Who is Julius Caesar?
Entropy is not a law that can or cannot be violated. It is a property of a system, like enthalpy, temperature, or pressure. If you had said that the Second Law of Thermodynamics would be violated, then you might have a point.
I think that it's being claimed that the numerous transitions and versions are responsible for the number of paths being added over time. It's a reasonable thing to say.
Thanks, might be good to know. First time I came across it.
I'd probably just say DMA (doesn't matter anymore), of course that'd be misconstrued as Doctor of Musical Arts (or more likely as direct memory access).;-)
The original comment had to do with the Supreme Court, not Congress.
Besides, one could argue that minorities would fare even worse had pure democracy been used, compared with the current system. Like they say, it's the worst form of government there is, except for *all the others*.

There's a decent description of it at wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing-point_depression

Sort of. Half-life of Pu-239 is 24,100 years. Isn't that "long-lived"?

Mod up +1 Scary.
That's OK. At least we know you're not new here.
I didn't think using AdBlock required all that much knowledge. So if this is less still, then it's almost none.

What about crass commercialization AS a value system? It is one, even if not one you'd choose or admit to.

Hey, why not just give him ten tabs of Substance D. Sorry, I just got done reading A Scanner Darkly.

"Discrete words", as opposed to wordsthatallruntogetherinoneincomprehensiblemass. Yeah, I can see why you'd want those.
or Linux is a Ferrari, and Windows is a Ford pickup, and I need to haul a yard of topsoil to my house, to make the ubiquitous car analogy.
No, no. 'That' really requires several orders of magnitude more intelligence to use properly than 'shit' does.
I don't think there is a good non-metric unit for such a small mass.
100 pg/m^3 would be 2.5x10^-9 ounces per cubic yard (!)

Order of the British Empire? That's a strange sig.
And I raise you a 1000th Busy Beaver number.
True enough. And at least once, the Supreme Court has been the "check" on Congress overriding a state's election of the President.
