You need to convert meters to light years, so divide the distance by the distance light travels in a year, and you have light years it takes for light to get there. For part b, the answer they're looking for is that using light years requires the use of smaller exponents, so is supposedly more easy to grasp. The light year really isn't used for distances beyond our own small corner of the galaxy... for things on the other side of the galaxy, and anything that's not in our own galaxy, the most common unit of measurement is the parsec (intergalactic distances are typically given in Mpc, megaparsecs).

Did you overshoot the equivalence point and not back-titrate?

If you do a thorough assessment of Kerry's vote history, you'll see he's quite conservative. Republican/Democrat has little to do with conservative/liberal, particularly in this election and time. Have a look at the political compass thing, it shows how close Bush and Kerry really are.

When referring to marijuana, I'm referring to the active ingredient, delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol. It's the active ingredient in all forms and versions of weed (including its synthetic prescription version (marinol)).

Good for what... it's slow, ugly, asian...

Wrong. Marijuana has demonstrated neurotoxicity to cells in the hippocampus, resulting in memory loss.

and why not? god forbid parents teach tolerance and acceptance to their kids... A loving, caring homosexual couple is alot better for a straight child than the crackwhores and other assorted heterosexual losers who are allowed to have children.

Please refrain from giant wings and fart can exhausts.

On the 10% of our brain thing... it's actually 10-15%... but that's at any one time. Virtually all of the brain is used at some time; just not all at once.

Yes; but technically that's a jammer so it's illegal, and the cop will pull you over for not getting a speed reading from your car.

TOS is grossly overrated IMO...

Yes we're going to fix it soon.

It's a contractual arrangement. Nobody wants ads, its just that the benefits outweigh having them.

?

Because having the ads will bring us 4x our current traffic levels within 2 months. They're not that bad.

That's the best EM chart I've ever seen. I'd like to point out to our members that it can be downloaded for free from the same site, so it's not exclusively an ad and therefore permissible : http://unihedron.com/projects/spectrum/spectrum.pdf

Good call.

I think the root of the growing cynicism in regards to politics is the increasingly large number of people who cannot strongly indentify with the ideology of either of the major parties.

Done.

The people have spoken. I polled the issue first.

The problem with true democracy is that the public is by and large ignorant on issues of government.

I changed it to the older two-column system... but it's not final till we get some more votes.
