So the United States of America is not a republic? It was founded on common law principles and things like contract law still exist mainly as case law. You're thinking of the difference between common law jurisdictions and civil law jurisdictions.
Will SpaceX reuse manned launchers? At least in the immediate future. The worst that could happen to SpaceX is a disastrous failure on one of its early manned flights and they'd be smart to spend money to avoid that. Of course they could reuse for unmanned launches and still save money.
When you're trying to move into a new market, you set your prices as low as possible, even running at below profitable. Once you get the market sown up, you raise prices to whatever the market will bear, being careful not to raise them enough to motivate competition entering the market.
There's no extradition treaty so nothing. Even with an extradition treaty I doubt that anything would happen. If this was a simple crime such as murder, the Chinese still would not extradite but might try the suspect in China. This is what happened when a Chinese national killed his girl friend in Vancouver (actually Burnaby) and ran home to China. The Chinese refused to extradite and tried him themselves, though they did promise not to use the death penalty.
Venus quite likely had oceans until the Sun warmed up enough to boil them. Once the oceans boil you really get a greenhouse affect from the water vapor, the water gets disassociated into hydrogen and oxygen, the hydrogen gets lost to space and the oxygen combines with carbon, nitrogen etc. Limestone may breakdown as well and release a lot of sequestered carbon. No tectonic activity to suck carbon into the mantle either, just resurfacing every few billion years which likely releases more carbon.
Only some types of human. Neanderthals, a type of Human, didn't adapt so well. Life itself will continue on baring a major accident until the Sun itself gets hot enough to boil the oceans, perhaps a billion years and who knows after that.
When you throw out bullshit like that DDT was banned for treating malaria mosquitoes why should we listen to you and the fact that by spreading the bullshit that DDT was banned for malaria really makes you wonder about the education of the moderators. Look it up, DDT was not banned for malaria, it just became less useful as the mosquitoes were evolving to like DDT.

Wasn't Firefox just code abandoned when Netscape went under?
Firefox, actually Phoenix and then Firebird as they kept running into trademarks issues, was a fork of Mozilla which was based on the Netscape code when Netscape went under. Mozilla still lives on as SeaMonkey, which is what I'm posting from. Phoenix was a lighter version of Mozilla and now it is heavier then SeaMonkey while having much less functionality as it is going for the lowest denominator, namely users who don't even understand menus.
Maybe I'm just showing my lack of history but I thought the American colonies were British, you know, the country that beheaded one King for insisting in the divine right of Kings and then gave the boot to his son who also thought he had a "divine right". This was in 1688 that Parliament asserted themselves as supreme, passed the Bill of Rights of 1689, changed the Monarchs Oath to reflect the new reality and invited a Dutch man and his wife, the Kings daughter to rule on the understanding that Parliament called the shots. A parliament that included one house that was elected by land owners and renters who paid over X amount in rent. They were overdue for redistricting the ridings though which introduced corruption much like gerrymandering does now.. They also had an unelected house who put the brakes on the elected house doing things like making copyright for ever, instead limiting it to 14+14 years for the advancement of learning. Now it is true that King George III was muttering that all his subjects should have equal rights including the natives of N. America having rights to their land and this really upset some land speculators such as George Washington and of course the other rich people who did not believe in equality for everyone (look at the constitution, while claiming equality also supported slavery) because obviously those heathen Indians were no more human then those black people.

When its half the planets (Pluto was in the list as it was still considered a planet IIRC) and for 2 of them it was understood what was driving the warming, namely orbital mechanics. Both Pluto and Mars have very elliptical orbits, Pluto had just passed its closest point and was still warming much as the Earth gets the warmest after the longest day and Mars is shifting where in its orbit summer happens. Sort of like the Earth where the southern hemisphere summer happens when the Earth is closest to the Sun. I never could find a reference for Saturn and Neptune getting warmer but both output more heat then they receive from the Sun through processes that are not completely understood. The test would have been Uranus, the only outer planet that doesn't put out more heat then it receives so if it was solar forcing Uranus should have shown the warming. As the other poster says, it is simpler to observe the Sun then make inferences from what is happening to planets.
While the solar wind might interact with Earths magnetosphere, it would not act on Mars (the chief planet that was referenced as warming) as there is no magnetosphere. Usually the people referencing the planets are getting warmer did claim it was the Sun putting out more energy which would include heat, both directly as infrared and as other radiation. It is true that in the '90's the Sun was more active and some estimates put its affect on global temperature as high as 1/3rd, now we're in the opposite cycle with a less active Sun and we should be in a colder climate. Of course long term the Sun is warming up and in a billion or so years the Earth will become uninhabitable unless moved.
Except it was always some planets were getting warmer with the largest number being 4 which is half the planets. The real test of if its solar induced would be the planets (and nearby moon) without an atmosphere and all those were not getting warmer.
Perhaps the Judge should have discretion on the "loser pays" . One of the big problems is how unsymmetrical some cases can be, eg little guy vs big guy
The USSR went from barely out of feudal to space faring in under 50 years while defeating the Nazis at huge cost, putting up with a mad man at the helm and having to compete with a country that successfully stole most of a rich continent and came through 2 world wars with all its industry intact. China has also done quite well in advancing from feudalism. Most of the more pure capitalist countries in the Americas are also brutal regimes with extremes such as Haiti which makes Cuba look like a paradise. The most successful countries, by most measures such as life expectancy, freedom and happiness seem to be hybrids between capitalistic and socialist with thriving markets that are regulated enough that business does not totally rule and elections to keep the government in check.
Any pistol can fire in a vacuum. In fact, any cartridge based firearm can fire in a vacuum. Russian space vehicles carried either Makarov PMs or TP-82 combination firearms. No specialized weapon needed, unless you count that failed laser pistol that was never fielded. You fail it.
Until all the oils boil off in the vacuum and the metals become vacuum welded together. Besides I heard it was a shotgun that they were equipped with for wolf and bear repellent.
It's the cops who are doing dangerous acts if they're kicking in doors with guns a blazing and didn't even do a basic recognizance around the house. If the cops want to play soldier, they should learn basic soldiering.
How would they know the location of my phone? It's too old to have GPS and I was probably in range of one tower. Not long ago there was a (fishing?) boat where the captain went nuts and was trying to shoot his crew. Even with a steady signal due to 911 call being kept alive it took a surprising long time to locate the boat through the ping times.
With more then 2 parties, it is quite possible in a parliamentary system for a party to form the government with a minority of votes. eg Canada where our current government scored 38% of the vote amongst those who bothered to vote.
Don't have the feudal idea of felons in Canada. In a case like this the Crown might ask for the 16yr old to be tried as an adult and the Judge might agree. Then there is a trial and sentencing rather then the threat of life in jail if the youth doesn't plead guilty. If tried as a juvenile, the maximum is 2 years, which is a good chunk of a 16yr olds life. No idea what the maximum sentence would be if tried as an adult but the Judge would probably still take into consideration his age and history.

Our species has evolved to live in this cold climate and if it gets back to 30+ degrees celsius ocean temperatures near the poles we may have problems
Yes, most of the founding Fathers and probably most Colonists seemed to have similar attitudes. Made it easier to steal or cheat them for their land.
