It was a catch-22 situation, philosophically Democrats hate the Industrial-Millitary complex, and philosophically Democrats, (like most Americans) support the troops. It's pretty hard to hurt the Industrial-Millitary complex without hurting the troops, yet NASA is a pretty good suragate for the Industrial-Millitary complex as a lot of the subcontractors are the same and no troops to worry about. Of course I'm probably giving too much credit and they really were that stupid.

but the study used “multi-proxy climate reconstructions” and a lot other fancy sounding phrases.

The US really does go batshit crazy when somebody attacks us, especially when the attack is on civilians; I think something on the order of 1 or 2 thousand jihadists have been killed in Iraq and Afganistan for every casualty in 9/11. Sooner or later people will figure that messing with the US is just like kicking a hornet's nest.

I could have signed up for a plan that paid 60/40 after a $10K deductable and actually gotten $2400.00 of the subsidy back at income tax time! That would have been a benefit, just not a healthcare benefit.

Seems like uranium would be more massive than that at the apparent volume of the projo.

Well actually in O2 + Cl2 -> 2ClO, oxygen would be the fuel and chlorine would be the oxidizer.

The answer is PV = nRT the ideal gas law, as the projectile is moving at mach 5 it compresses the air in front of it and when the temperature of the compressed air reaches about 650C it looks like fire, which is gasses at about 650C.

There is a youtube video where the weapon is initiated (fired isn't quite appropriate as there is no fire involved) and you can definitely see the barrel recoil within the gun base. The M114, 155mm howitzer firing the M107 he projectile masses at 43Kg and has a muzzle velocity of 564 m/s resulting in at least 24252 Kg*m/s of recoil; the railgun fires a 10 Kg projectile with a muzzle velocity of 2235 m/s resulting in 22350 Kg*m/s or 8% less recoil (power) than a howitzer; 1.3678128e7 J vs. 4.995225e9, but 365 times more energy.

Oh come on, this study is bogus, the artcle said it was a double-blind study, but there is noway in hell that a violinist of sufficient skill to extract from a Cremonese violin anything close to it's potential, wouldn't know a 300 year old instrument the second they picked it up; this study neither proves or disproves anything.

One difference no one talks about it that the wood in a stringed instrument "loosens" as it's played as the wood is exposed to sonic nodes and antinodes and developes it's tone; if it's hard to tell the difference between an elite modern violin and a Strad now, wait untill the modern has been played of a 1000 hours!

/. editors don't edit, they just make postings visible.

I'm sure when you signed the legaly binding contract to get the source code that you'd have to have to modify to compile to get the binary patch, their was a clause prohibiting you from distributing any binaries from the source or derivatives of the source.

Most malware likes to patch the whole it got in through if only to reduce competion and preserve it's enviroment.

Condidering how convoluted music rights are, your friend may have unwittingly signed away more rights than either of you realize.

The critical thinker is usually the one kid in the room everyone glares at for asking the "stupid question" that everyone else "knows" the answer to but no one knows how they know.

I'm not sure you can teach "critical thinking" period, but even if you can most public school educators are poorly equipped to attempt the task.
I'm also unsure why educators feel they must create the psuedo-philosophy called critical thinking when the real philosophies of Epistemology and Logic so adequately covers the subject matter.
Additionally I don't see why the Democrats would be any more receptive of the sheeple being freed from their version of group-think then the Republicans are
