So you're suggesting spending years and lots of money trying to prove that the tailing pond leak ruined your farm land while the mining company uses their experts to prove that the tailings were safe and of course they're willing to stretch the court case and appeals out for years. Meanwhile your land is worthless, the bank (that has investments in the mine) won't give you a loan and you have no way to make a living. Or as was the case one place I lived, by the time it was obvious that arsenic was leaking into the river, the mine (actually they were reprocessing tailings) owners had moved to Bermuda.
Actually in cases like Grizzlies and Polar bears, they do breed naturally in cases like currently where due to climate change, their habitats are now overlapping. Then there are cases like Wolves and Coyotes where the Coyote has extended its range into Wolf territory and there is now interbreeding. Populations get separated, evolve in different directions and at some point become different species. It's happened before with Humanity where the Neanderthal was a sub-species or separate species depending on how you measure and if current populations of Humanity had stayed separate, would have happened again as it was happening. An Inuit is much better evolved for cold then an African. Species is actually more of a spectrum thing and our labeling pretty arbitrary.
I've been involved in the OS/2 community where there has been projects along these lines, eg http://trac.netlabs.org/qt4 and http://trac.netlabs.org/java. Other examples include porting VLC where the community pledged X amount of money and someone did it under a different bounty system. There were failures under that system where there wasn't enough money raised for various projects to entice a developer and eventually the holder of the money polled the sponsors about what to do with the money and most was given to financing Firefox. While porting the OpenJDK included corporate sponsorship and I suspect the current work on Firefox is also corporate sponsered, the community of regular users did supply a good portion of money. There are also developers who just ask for donations and while not making a living this way, it does finance a hobby. (I've been offered quite a few donations over the years. As I didn't want to feel any

Bounties. Communities can offer money to developers to develop and developers can offer to write stuff if given the funding. This works the best if the community isn't too big or small and the developers have a good reputation.
Imagine 10 years ago saying that Microsoft would be giving away free copies of Windows. They would have laughed at you
Two points, one MS has always pretended to give away Windows for free, eg most every new computer comes with a free copy of Windows. While not true, it seems that way to the average buyer. Two, 20 years ago MS actively encouraged copying Windows and users sharing those copies for free. Bill Gates actually said something along the lines of "it's better for people to use pirated copies of Windows then to buy the competitions software" and Win95 would actually install with a blank product key if it sensed OS/2 on the computer, and then inform the user that their OS/2 install was gone for good. (Actually 2 minutes with fdisk brought back their OS/2 install unless they let it get formatted away). Win 3.x didn't even need a product key.
There's trademark law to cover franchises. eg James Bond is trademarked so no-one else can make a James Bond movie even when the books are out of copyright.
There's enough for medical equipment and it isn't hard to make more (irradiate water to make tritium and let it decay). As for using it for fusion, it is much harder to fuse he3 then what they're currently experimenting with and they can't do it in an energy positive way with deuterium yet. Once we have working fusion reactors, then we can think about getting more he3.
That's only true from an accounting perspective. There's also other perspectives such as the perception of massive fraud which leads to the project losing support. It may be worth more then $100 million to show the public/congress that fraud won't be tolerated and by discouraging future fraud may still save money long term. The same can be true for other forms of waste but fraud is something that people really don't like and even spending money to prove that fraud does not exist can help the project as perception is important.
The problem is that at the beginning of senility, when the person is trying to hide it (from themselves as much as anyone), there are no care givers. My Mom managed to go through a few hundred thousand dollars just before she was diagnosed as senile. Where the money went, we don't know though we have suspicions about her neighbour.
Well considering that there is only one Moon, which is the name of the natural satellite of the Earth, obviously Mars and Pluto don't have the Moon, and I'm pretty sure that there is a case of an asteroid having a satellite which itself has a satellite. As for the satellites of Mars being captured asteroids, that is very unlikely as they are in equatorial orbits. Which is another point against Pluto being a planet, the rest are in the equatorial plane of the Sun and don't have irregular orbits that cross a planets orbit. There are also satellites such as Titan that have a atmosphere, yet no one argues that Titan is a planet and then there is Mercury, no satellite nor any atmosphere to speak off.
The size of Pluto has been continuously revised downwards since it was discovered and considered the same size as Mercury (it's bright for its size). Just like Ceres lost its planet designation when it was better measured and it was realized it was one of many objects orbiting in the asteroid belt, so has Pluto. I really don't understand why it matters, Pluto is still Pluto and lots of things we learned in school turned out to be different then we were taught.
Flash and the Pan are on my record shelf close to Neil Young and have been for at least 35 years and may have released their first record as the Easybeats (Australia's answer to the Beatles) before Neil Young. While George Young is not as famous as Neil Young, his younger brothers, Malcolm and Angus Young are.
It's a Barred Owl, now and again it comes around and sits in a tree eyeballing the cat. Luckily the cat is very furry and looks large enough that the owl decides the cat is too big to tackle. Still the wife tries to keep the cat inside at dusk but the cat likes being outside, especially in the heat.
Dinosaurs are one of the more successful types of animals on Earth, even now I can here one hooting out in the forest and probably hunting my cat, so what's the problem of being a dinosaur?
Not really empty space, something like 2 atoms per cc, which is enough that the gas compresses and triggers lots of star formation. From outside would look pretty spectacular, from inside, lots of radiation from all the new blue stars and supernova and likely sterilization of any inhabited planets.
Don't worry, I've since been informed that Bumblebees are being domesticated and sold as they are better for pollinating Tomatoes in greenhouses. Of course there are quite a few Bumblebee species.
Well, this article is about the PSLV, which puts satellites in Sun Synchronous orbits (polar orbit), something that I don't think the Falcon 9 has ever done. For comparison, there is the GLSV, putting 5000KG in LEO (2500 into GTO), not quite half of the 9. There's also the upgraded GLSV-III which will be able to put 8000KG in LEO once development is finished. It has made suborbital test flights. According to Wiki, the Indian civil space program is mostly independent of the missile program, especially early on. Can't really find much info for who helped them besides the GLSV starting out using some Russian motors. Remember after India did their nuke test in the early '70's, the west boycotted them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Actually the ISRO has launched infinite more payload then the Falcon Heavy, as the Heavy has not flown. Falcon Heavy also benefits from over 50 years of American space development whereas India had to bootstrap the ISRO on its own.
Strategic partners of the government such as certain lobbyists will also be immune (or continue to interact in person as they do now to avoid any written records) and things like banking will be tapped at the server so communication over the internet will still be secure. Same with interactions with the government. What will be blocked is person to person encryption as well as communication with organizations who are not in the governments good side.

Well considering it lost money, perhaps we would be doing the investors in discouraging these scams.

While I'm sure Church scams are common (just have to turn on the TV on Sunday), my Mom was totally non-religious.

Maybe this time Bill the Cat will win the Presidency. It would be an improvement compared to all the current candidates.

Be covered under national costume I'd think.

Your customers of course. At least it'll be fair as your competition will also have raise their rates to pay for the back doors as well.
