Wasn't the Saturn V all liquid fueled?

When I was stationed in Balad, Iraq I volunteered at the base hospital. We mostly just helped unload the choppers and what not, sometimes walk around and chat with the patients. Balad was the biggest hospital in theatre so the worst cases eventually made their way there for stabilization before being sent to Germany or sent home (in the case of Iraqis).

Anyways, I must have seen one or two patients a week come in with severe electrical burns from trying to steal copper wire, most of the time it was kids.

So its not ALWAYS some idiot out to make a quick buck...people can just get desperate.

I was under the impression that jailbreaking an iphone is not illegal (or at the most against their TOS not the DMCA), but Apple can do whatever they want to make it as difficult as possible.

Is this incorrect? Is what is being requested a requirement that Apple not block jailbreaking?

To play devil's advocate I wouls say that a single person can indeed act decently and change things for the better, but only if they actually have the power to make those changes.

In democratic governments the ability of the same individual within the government to make the same changes is minor compared to the larger number of those who would rather increase its size.

Not saying that autocratic governments are inherently better...but this is an aspect of democracy which one could argue is not always best.

That's sort of what I meant. I'm wondering if talking to a person next on a cell phone causes a greater decrease in efficiency than if they were next to you. In a laydiscussion like this I was considering "power" as a synonym for efficiency.

I suppose I need to use analogies since I don't know the proper terminology used in howthebrainworksology, so I shouldn't try and really make myself sound silly.

Nope. Just require them to ride in the trunk.

Plus I bet cell phone reception in a giant superconducting magnet is just awful!

El-Al has had armed agents on flights for years, and they haven't had any issues with such a thing. And LOTS of folks would love to take down an El-Al flight.

What I've always wondered is if the increased distraction a cell phone brings vs. a passenger has something to do with the brain activity of talking on a cell vs. in person.

I'm no neurologist but I've noticed that while talking on a phone I have a tendency to imagine that person and their expressions, reactions, etc. Perhaps this results in the use of more brain "power" to use a cell than talk to a person?

Anyone know of any studies using fMRI or the like which suggest such a thing?

Sleeping at the wheel found to correspond to an increase in accidents.

Hear hear!

I used to be a big McCain fan. In fact when it looked like he wasn't going to win the primary a buddy and I were discussing how tought it would be to choose between Obama and McCain. Well, McCain sure made that choice alot easier.

What is really sad is that we were discussing this on a plane ride over for an Iraq tour...who would have thought that McCain would have driven away so much of the veteran vote?

Very sad to see a man I considered decent and honorable to fall so far so fast.

I wish I could get that low of error in any experiment I do...

According to wiki the mayan calendar started in about 3000BC (I'm just rounding it a bit here). So 30 days in 5000 years (tongue in cheek math alert!):

0.08 years/5000 = 1e-5

Whats that, one part in 100,000?

Without atomic clocks too!

Actually...now that I think about it I'm kinda scared...
