Not really anymore. I don't know about the Abrahms but we've only lost one Challenger 2 and that was to FF from another Challenger 2. One near Basra took ~70 RPG hits and only sustained fairly minor damage. If I had to be sent to Iraq I'd take being a tank jockey over wandering around as a foot soldier any day.

Lab rats, like pet fancy rats, are smaller and less aggressive than their wild cousins. They'd be much more likely to be killed by than bred with any wild rats they meet.

Don't be daft. They used rats because they're a standard experimental animal not because they want to make some kind of super rodents. Research it rats is often applicable in other species; like humans.

It's the only one that guarantees a limitless supply of impressionable, hot, goth chicks.

While being an idiot he's obviously not so stupid that he doesn't realise that he's an idiot. Hence the self restriction. If more of the worlds idiots followed his example the internet would be a better place.

We use superconductors for energy storage on earth. The refrigeration is not the limiting factor nor is it the most expensive part of the whole design. I don't see why they'd be any more useful on the moon really.

It's lucky in one sense that this guy was just an immature asshole. He's obviously pretty good at manipulating people over the phone. He could probably have got away with some more high impact crimes. Luckily now he's just going to go to jail for some relatively minor stuff.

The purpose of word processors is not to ready a document for printing. This article fails.

A card plus PIN goes for couple of dollars. They're worth less than you think.

Those are different lectures.

I'm a physicist. Darwin's a hero to me. Not as much as Feynman admittedly but he's still a hero.

Your post was funny but it fairly neatly shoots a hole in their argument against FPS skill. All of the good players know the maps. The reason that Thresh would own us is not because he knows where the rocketlauncher is.

Anti drug campaigns are always ridiculous. Anyone remember "Winners don't use drugs"? I guess Michael Phelps never played arcade games.

Your damage estimates are flat out wrong. 200-300 meters of infrastructure destruction for a 10 megaton nuke? Are you on crack?

Watch some of the nuclear weapons documentaries - like 'Trinity and Beyond'. Look at the aftermath at ground zero after some of the blasts. Bikini atoll after Castle Bravo is a good one.

If the smile auditing machine told me I didn't look happy enough, prior to my first work coffee of the day, there's be a serious danger that I'd attack it with a fire axe.
