  1. Aren't all cutting edge technology projects prone to going way over budget? It goes with the territory I think because there many unknowns, false starts, amendments etc in the journey to final fruition.
  2. Also, how many years before it comes online... 5, 10 years? The predicted energy cost will be more inline for the future time.
  3. I wikied it and it's food safe and a commensal organism in humans. It is much used as a model, it seems.
  4. That's the one! Memory failed me.
  5. A pushbike with a mileometer or a wheel-on-a-stick with a counter that civil engineers use
  6. Time must pass otherwise there would be no need for frames of reference.
  7. "Organics" is about method of production and not just the end result
  8. I read a bloke getting done for 'felony of endangerment' for allowing the conditions for his six year old to shoot his 3 year old in the head. So, one can get done for negligence, it seems. Leaving a loaded gun around is a felony if children get hurt with it.
  9. I suspect because the introduction of mitochondria conferred a sufficient reproductive advantage to become the totally dominant strain.
  10. ...and tranquillisers! Even one of the lesser stories that don't make the headlines in the US would keep our UK news teams busy for days. It's almost laughable how many people are affected by guns in the US in a typical day, for its insanity and disregard.
  11. Yes. "Truth" is a moving target really.
  12. That thing which you use to observe something will determine how you see it and even 'what' something is. seeing photons as particles or waves depending on the method. You cannot look at something without interfering with it, in some way.
  13. Looking for Truth is like looking for Absolute Velocity
  14. This is probably the definitive question.
  15. It doesn't matter... if nobody saw you being killed, the clone would carry your info and be still be you.
  16. You got there in the end. You did but it just took him a while to bite through it.
  17. There's nothing worse than crap on a lens... They are so all or nothing.
  18. Wilfully ignorant
  19. All my life I've waited for this...
  20. Don't just think about yourself, think about those exploited all along the supply chain as well and the collateral effects... it's pretty horrendous. Just look at Mexico for how bad it can get societally.
  21. Yeah, maths is a drag; you have to actually learn it. Youtube's a lot easier.
