The tricky part of this scenario is getting the rock enough kinetic energy to boost it from Mercury's orbit out to Earth. I'd guess a slingshot around the sun was probably needed.
How does something slingshot around the sun? I am aware of planetary slingshots, but they depend upon the planet's orbital speed around the sun. I could see how the sun will change the direction of the object, but not how it could impart more kinetic energy to the object.
Microsoft has already invented this (sort of), no-one really used it because it was slow, buggy, and made your entire computer run like shit.
What was it called? I'm not finding anything from casual googling.
And don't forget to put your source of white noise between you and the wall through which the most noise comes into the room. Probably the doorway, but maybe not.
A question, then: is it possible for a famous person to openly state a viewpoint without "using their own popularity" to further said viewpoint?
Ender managed to do just that in Speaker for the Dead.
" If marriage is such an important religious institution"
Excuse me but religion has hijacked marriage as its own, far as I can tell marriage existed way before Christianity.

I'd bet my left nut "a well-known provider of tools for the Systems Administration community" is Atlassian, and they claim there's no issue.
Would you really risk loosing your left nut to know that? Worse, if you are right, would you really want two left nuts?
He built a 'sleeper'. Imagine the show-off in the Boss 302, Mach 1, or even Camaro SS, who get his doors blown off by a Pinto.
Then they become 'responsible' for the content served, including malware-infested ads. So long as that responsibility is enforcible, i.e. I can sue a site for sending me malware, then I see this as a good thing.
For that matter, why haven't the large ad networks been sued for 'hacking' i.e. serving malware?
Stick it in v19.0.1. Bring it on!
You really can't week a week or two for the next 3 Firefox versions to trickle down? This isn't TeX we're talking about.
I also think this could block lots of cookies used for SSO. Some people do actually like to be able to log using their twitter or github credentials.
I log into StackExchange with Google SSO and I have no problem typing in my password to do so. In fact, I find it disturbing that sometimes I _don't_ have to.
Note that StackExchange stores the login cookie between browser sessions, so I find that I only have to 'log in' about once a month or so, but I use the site daily.
My Nissan LEAF also tracks all your driving. Nissan's solution to the question of privacy is to pop a dialog on the in-dash touchscreen every time the car is started, asking you if you want to send your data to them. Unless you press "Yes", that drive is not tracked.
Correction: Your Nissan LEAF also tracks all your driving.
I was referring to the 63Ni. However, I am not a nuclear scientist and since the time of the post I reference I see that others have chimed in suggesting different decay routes. I'm not qualified to give any more opinion on the subject.
If you read the article, the reactions only work if you subject it to THz wave EM energy. So damaging this type of reactor would only ever have one kind of effect... it would stop working and go back to being a big lump of inert metal. Assuming it works in the first place after all.
Only after all the secondary products decay. According to another poster, this thing produces a product with a 100 year half life, that is only slightly less radioactive than plutonium 238 (88 years). How long do you plan on waiting for that to "go back to being a big lump of inert metal"?
Sequestering CO2 is easy. You just don't have a clue how it works. The CO2 is pumped into abandon oil fields at VERY high pressures.
From where do you think comes the energy to generate those high pressures? Hint: burning things and releasing CO2.
Always draw your curves, then plot your reading.
