  1. simple: kickbacks and inside stock trading
  2. heh, see? btw, the oxide would react: BeO+2HCl --> BeCl2+H2O
  3. you probably don't want to haet beryllium. it's madly toxic and heating it only aggrevates it so to speak. it will probably oxidize in an oxygen-containing atmosphere
  4. no, that was just mccarthy being stupid. the vietnamese had just finished fighting the french for hundreds of years and before had been fighting the chinese. do you think they were going to submit to the soviets and chinese? ho chi minh was first a nationalist and second a communist. different times, different leaders, different motives.
  5. actually, i have heard valid reports of 100,000 again, you are evading the issue. try again man. plus, countries don't apply pressure with the intent to coax a leader to step down... that just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. and really, what are we going to do? perhaps we should shut down nike's sweatshops if we want to go for humanitarian aid. that way we won't spend money frivolously and amass an even greater debt while sending our own people to death for little to no reason at all. wait, there's no money in that! ah, figures
  6. all that you are saying does not support bush's pompous actions. really, think of what you are defending and what you are arguing. if the us were to have complied and north korea were to have started making nukes, china and russia would apply pressure and we'd have them caught
  7. no you see, they said "hey, we're currently in the position where we can make nukes now. we won't if you tell us you won't attack us, but write it on paper just to make it formal and all." yes, they had wanted nukes beforehand. they decided that they didn't need them however and so they offered to stop under that one condition.
  8. (just to clear this up first) feudalism is not at all like communism. the term "militaristic dictatorship" refers to government, not economics... north korea's government exploits its economy. that is not communism. BACK ON TOPIC: do i defend their logic and reasoning to acquire nuclear arms? absolutely
  9. with all due respect that is totally destructive and without reason. you think it's up to us to decide whether or not the north koreans should live? what threat is kim jong il to anyone? yeah, he's not too nice to his people, but that doesn't mean we're going to nuke him. plus china will rape us. nuclear fallout, anyone?
  10. this should be moved to the chem section:\ the pentahydrate of cupric sulfate is a complex. when it is heated the complex "decomposes" (so to speak), yielding water and the anhydrous cupric sulfate.
  11. actually, blike, north korea gave us options before. they said that if we gave them a document stating we would not attack them (without significant reason: ie in the name of "counterterrorism" which is just a stupid excuse) that they would not produce nukes. they had their reactors ready, but they decided to give us the option. when bush decided to be a fool and refused to sign anything and then attacked iraq for no reason (while un inspectors were checking for wmds with unrestricted access) they said "hey, let's go all cold war on them and produce the great deterrent!" and so, we have created another nuclear power.
  12. as it reacts more of it ionizes
  13. things with lone pairs on bent structures work well
  14. you like jazz. have you heard of galactic?
  15. yeah, we had already determined that. they have different properties.
  16. the salts are much worse than the actual metal. even if you can get it as low as $16/lb, that's $3648 or $4864 depending on if you get 3 or 4 containers of 76lbs of mercury. why do you want so much mercury???
  17. blowtorches are easily obtainable. car batteries supply the current
  18. i'm not sure if they sell to the public though. and plus, it's incredibly expensive
  19. oh i see what youre saying. was there a limiting reagent involved? edit: example: you (slowly) put 1mol NaOH in 1L of 1M HCl. you (slowly) put 1mol NaOH in 1L of 2M HCl.
