  1. PBAs tend to be done for medical purposes, not just because the woman decides she doesn't want a baby anymore. generally one has to have an abortion before a certain date, or it is not allowed unless there is a good medical reason for it.
  2. The second of the two mars rovers, opportunity, landed safely last night at 5:05 GMT. Continuing work on Spirit, which seemed to break down recently has pointed to an error in the flash memory. NASA engineers now have it booting up from the main RAM and it seems alot healthier now. http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/home/
  3. lying in court and upsetting a judge is a more serious offence than lying to the nation and getting people killed.
  4. an incredibly weak one!
  5. "loser" and to damn right he is. that gimp made my english lessons hell.
  6. about as much as that article writer would. It is all just crap I reckon
  7. well one thing I know about drugs: winners don't do drugs.
  8. that is the badness.
  9. are the hospitals allowed to inform the police in the US then?
  10. exactly duder, which is why only one of M and m can be positive, zou said: the and should be an or I reckon btw I reckon the duder meme is the new sup.
  11. absolutely, let the idiots kill themselves, and lacing all the drugs with arsenic might work too.
  12. no problems. MS paint is like the blackboard of the computer world. oh, pseudoscience use animated gifs too.
  13. surely if M or m have a different sign. M and m would just give you a positive again. aah, reminds me of Dirac.
  14. how would they know whose drugs they are though?
  15. ] firstly, I meant red shift, sorry about that basically the spectrum of an object which is moving away from you is shifted red a bit. It is the same effect as listening to an ambulance drive past. As it approaches you it sounds ligher pitched (blue shift) and as it drives away, it sounds lower pitched (red shift)
  16. no, I mean blue shift, because, because... oh bollocks, yes I mean red shift. thanks dude dunno how I did that. too much chocolate probably.
  17. same in the UK. If you get your grades, you can get into uni, provided there are the places available. The point I was making is that one cannot say that people live in bad areas because they are thick. If anything it is living in a bad area that makes them thick, because the opportunities are not there for them in terms of getting decent books, getting decent teachers, and environmental and cultural issues. Remember the prevelant attitude in many of these areas is an anti-intellectual one. Kids get beaten up for being smart, I know, it happened to me for a year after I moved towns.
  18. well the closest we can get to "original photons" (since there is no such thing in a way, for a number of reasons) is probably the Cosmic Microwave Background, and they are pretty much everywhere and coming from all directions. we calculate the speed of expansion by either figuring it out from the CMB (because we know how old the universe would have been when energy and matter decoupled) or by looking at stars really far away, and calculating their blue shift.
  19. north wales.
  20. Imperial College.... because we had that cluster mission, before the french blew it up.
  21. unless you are an arab, or a weakling quasi demilitarised state.
  22. apparently it just spurted at spain. information, that is. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3423717.stm
  23. moderators note: I merged the threads as it seemed pointless having 2 time travel threads right next to each other. If anyone has any complaints, feel free to take me on.
  24. little diagram for you.
