A more interesting question is if an alien race can exist with ratios that differ considerably from the ones on earth. Outside of carbon chemistry your ability to create replicable life plummets. Biologists may speculate if non carbon life

Well they're also inflammable and not as good as CFCs. Kinda how we don't use toxic ammonia as a refrigerant. For what it's worth, my mini fridge and my chest freezer use some hydrocarbon refrigerant. They're littered wi

The "over 100% efficiency" is technically incorrect, but the OP is right. Carnot limits the efficiency to make work from a thermal process (much less then 100%, in fact). Carnot does not prohibit you from enjoying the inefficien

I wouldnt call an increasing GDP coupled with deindustrialization "growth". Growth in GDP for a country with a well respected currency is trivial - increase government spending. Of course, in the limit, that destroys your currenc

Doesn't matter what other uses they marketed; they also marketed it as a bathroom spycam. They have to explain what legitimate use there is of marketing a bathroom spycam. Its kinda nasty, actually. stretching it, there might be legiti

this is a trial you want dismissed. After that you try your darndest to settle. After all, do you really want a jury of 6 men (ie dads of little girls), a 6 women (ie identifying with the victim) adjudicating this? When you're one of t

Bastards like this being able to defend themselves as best as possible is the corner stone of our rights. What I think is evil is that the firing squad isn't on the table for the marketing department.

It's advertised as a towel hook. By their own admission, the product is designed, meant and marketed to be used in a bathroom. That's what's great about the case. They can't claim that they're not liable because it

By far the best in the world. Chomsky is quite open that the US is the only country in the world where he can be as critical of the sovereign as he is. Frankly it's a big reason I finally decided to become American.

1. You and your assets can't go to the UK. This might not seem like a biggie to some until you consider that all your flights across the Atlantic cant have a stop in the UK. Also, UK financial institutions, while not the US', have

However, if you don't hire an expensive lawyer in the UK you'll loose to a default judgement. Then your trips to Europe become very difficult since you have to avoid a layover in Heathrow. On top of that, if the firm is aggressive
