Within the frame of ICE, I'm inclined to say that we should all use diesel engines, only because it's much more versatile on what fuel you can feed it. Gasoline engine are more fussy, and will always require too much money and effort to come up with a good source of fuel for the gasoline engine...

Sure you can! Just ask Scotty to beam you up!

Aha, gotcha. That way, they can't say it was a wild, bushy and bearded man in a loincloth screaming profanity and flashing himself before McCain. Also, it occurred to me that McCain's response was weird- he says "This is the great thing about townhall..." then saying that nobody want this...

Am I missing the significance of him being a minister? That he actually said a dirty word?

Archimedes's principle. IOW, a heathen Greek running around in a blanket was first to explain the working of buoyancy. Of course, we didn't quite believe him and sticked to woods for few more centuries.

FWIW, see if you can get a room with either hospitals or schools administrative building- they usually have video-conferencing....

Principle of Non-Contradiction?

Miller-Urey experiment in 1957 did something like that. It was heralded as a proof that life can be created from nonlife, but even Miller himself concluded later on that it only opened more questions than answers, and showed how much more complicated it was. For example, the conditions present...

WOW! This is fucking great! I remember when I was taking my International Law class, my teacher made an announcement, and he made quite a big deal about it- the announcement was regarding Patriot Act, and that basically reversed the sheriffs/federal agents' roles and everyone should be very...

FWIW, there is no "one true scientific method." Just ask any archaeologist to replicate a historical event. They have to adopt a different approach and a set of criteria to establish or deny whether an event in past has in fact occurred. Same applies to Big Bang theory- we can't replicate it...

Well, I seriously doubt that more than 1% of national voters even knew who LaRouche was, despite him having been a candidate for what? 10 time? more than that?

Second law of thermodynamics is a bitch.

Would it be necessary to have competition? What about apparently high entry barrier? For example- what's the point of building another road going to same places if there's already a good road with the most direct route to X destination if only to undercut the price by few bucks and make next to...

Well, if this is indeed the case, I hope our good folks in NV will attend to this. Eh, wouldn't be surprised if they decided to throw a temper tantrum, but that's just more fodder to show how illegitimate the whole process is to an average voter. We have to keep pushing the issues.

I don't know anything about Nevada's state party rules, but is it a option for the delegates to convene themselves, and if have a quorum, resume the business?
