Chemicals, Reactions, Explosions, Response to those, Causes, Effects, new technologies to stop these problems in the future being discussed?

What about this is NOT science, technology, and stuff that matters?

I'd be pretty interested in a GIGANTIC explosion in France, and I'm from Texas. Also it does have a science angle, because it's a chemical plant, and I've been interested in the discussions of how to deal with chemical fires in this thread.

So.

Fuck off, and have a nice day!

If they write the website themselves, and have some sort of advertising for income then 2000 is fair. It doesn't have to be some big corporate conglomerate professional website. Sometimes doing things on a shoestring is a good way to start. Why burn a ton of cash if you don't get the people contributing the way you thought you would?

Who's country records and uses against him every fucking move he makes outside his house. Something most British seem to be pretty cool with so why in the word would he give damn about google?

The job of a bank is to make money, as with any commercial entity :). Lending money, an screwing depositors is just how banks usually go about it, but sometimes they can foreclose on a well paid on property and jack up the legal fees to eat all the equity, so they do have other nice little streams of revenue :P

A 600 dollar phone you could sell on ebay for 200.

You are a FOOOL.. ok yea she's hot, but I have always loved zeta.

Why? Nobody laughs when someone pulls out a 1500 dollar macbook, when the 300 dollar acer will do everything that the macbook will do that 95 percent of the population would need.

Just picked up a note 2, and I'm pleased as punch with it. Sure it's ridiculously expensive, but so was my gaming pc, and I enjoy that too.

I also drive a beat up 10 year old vehicle that's been paid off for 8 years. I don't enjoy vehicles, it doesn't mean I laugh at people for driving nice ones.

Yea, but for some reason google eats my calls sometimes completely and they go to VM. I'd like to at least have a chance to answer the call reliably. I use GV for my business main number, and my cell phone number direct is seperate. I'll be sitting at my computer and the browser will start ringing, but it won't go through to the cell phone. Sometimes it goes right to GV voicemail without ringing the browser or the phone.

And you can actually make and receive calls, and surf low bandwidth sites at a crawl in at least 60 percent of the areas you are in.

Just switched from sprint to ATT yesterday. Who gives a shit about unlimited data when it's so slow you could max it out for a week and not hit 1gb. I have to get customer calls, one missed call could mean losing a lot more than the measly 30 bucks more a month between our two phones.

Actually it does let them defy the government, it just comes at the cost of their lives. Whether that cost is acceptable is left as a judgement call to the citizen.

It's because IOWA is a very important state in our electoral college, and primaries, and it's a state with a great climate for corn. Thus we have all these amazing laws passed to push corn as hard as possible, so now we end up with corn growing in states and areas that are best used for wheat production. We also end up with stupid laws like ethanol which is a net loss in energy product from what I've read when you factor in all the different energy it takes to get it to market, let alone the gigantic amounts of water.

Funny how environmentalists get all upset about fracking and water, then seem to ignore the devastation corn has on our water supply.

Pushing the land to make more wheat than what it should have been making was really the root cause of the dust bowl. Modern dust bowls have not been seen even during drought years because we have the ability to dump water from the aquifer on the land. Just plowing in different directions isn't going to be the end all be all cure to dust blowing if we have a drought without the aquifer like we had the last few years. In fact our current drought has seen even drier conditions than in the dust bowl. The difference really wasn't farming practices so much, because a great deal of farmers have abandoned drought tolerant practices, but the changing factor was irrigation. There was enough breakage in irrigation that the dust was caught in the next field over instead of 10 miles away.

With that being said I've seen 3 dirt storms this year, more than in the last 10, and in the Texas Panhandle from birth I've grown up seeing days where we have 100mph gusts. We are the wind belt of the U.S.

All moving to biofuels does is destroy the large underground lake called the ogalala that the midwest sits on. Once gone it is hello dustbowl 2.

How much water is behind the hoover dam which software controls? How much mass is in a tomahawk missile that runs on software? How much mass; is in a bunker buster, that is guided by GPS which is also run on military software?

Without software no modern military would be able to mount a campaign.

I know man, I don't want to get killed either, but just saying the guy that holds a joystick flying a drone bombing people isn't really that much better than someone shooting bullets other than he has air conditioning and a chair.
