And of course Iceland had no pasture back then, just ice due to how cold it was back then before the multi-century warm spell most of the world (excepting the far north Atlantic) experienced.
Weird, I thought I replied to this and now Slashdot is notifying me every 5 minutes that you replied, 20 messages so far. Anyways, it's hard to know if mail in ballots have caused problems or not. And open ballots were shown to cause all kinds of problems.
Christopher Tolkien is an exception in that he actually did do something with his inheritance. He also would have done very well just with his Fathers unpublished manuscripts which I presume he could have copyrighted after editing them and releasing.
Sunday has always been the first day of the week in Western calendars and quite a few Eastern. Just because an ISO standard a couple of years ago changed it doesn't mean much. If an ISO standard changed daytime to start at 18:00 it would also be mostly ignored..
But implying that we were not better than governments engaged in active genocide is inflammatory. And as an American, incredibly offensive.
America was engaged in active genocide for the first half of its history. You had a revolution over the right to kill the rightful owners of America and steal their land. Put those rightful owners into death camps, even wiped out their food supply for genocidal reasons. Genocide is very much an American tradition
The Moon's surface contains helium-3 at concentrations on the order of 0.01 ppm in sunlit areas,[40][41] and concentrations as much as five times higher in permanently shadowed regions.[2] A number of people, starting with Gerald Kulcinski in 1986,[42] have proposed to explore the moon, mine lunar regolith and use the helium-3 for fusion. Because of the low concentrations of helium-3, any mining equipment would need to process extremely large amounts of regolith (over 100 million tons of regolith to obtain one ton of helium 3),[43] and some proposals have suggested that helium-3 extraction be piggybacked onto a larger mining and development operation.[citation needed]
Our vicinity will change over time. This brings up the point that the Sun is in a nice circular galactic orbit which keeps us in the galactic habitable zone. Many other stars have orbits that take them into the core region where presumably the radiation levels are too high for life and the odds of passing another star close enough to perturb any planets orbits goes way up.
They sue or convict the assets. Google civil forfeiture. As an added bonus, allows them to get around that pesky due process stuff. Supreme court didn't have any problem with ex post facto laws being applied to people who'd already been convicted of sex crimes (sex offenders list)
Probably not many now. In the past quite a few and they keep trying to expand the levy to anything that might have copyrighted material on it. My wife mails DVD-rs back and forth with her family and I've known musicians who have to pay the levy to record their own music on CD-r. The point is that the industry wants everything, a cut of every blank media and the government enforcing their copyright.
How do you download music illegitimately (in Canada). Buy a blank CD and the record companies get a cut, so they're getting paid for people doing backups, copying their legitimately copyrighted photos to a CD and so on. This caused the courts to rule that sharing music is not illegal.
I buy it from the thrift store and occasionally garage sales. The Mennonites who run the local thrift store do good work and I don't mind supporting them.
IIRC it was the Court of Appeals (second highest court) that ruled that sharing music was legal. The CRIA were scared to take it to the Supreme Court. I believe in most countries the legislature can update the laws to work around judicial decisions, at least as long as it doesn't conflict with any existing bill of rights or in our case charter of rights and freedoms. Our charter of rights also has a lot of weasel wording, section 1, the reasonable limits clause (in practice the States have the same thing) and section 33, the not withstanding clause. The notwithstanding clause allows the government (federal or provincial) to override any right or freedom for up to 5 years at a shot. Only seriously used for the Quebec Language sign law so far. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_One_of_the_Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_Thirty-three_of_the_Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms
Yea, netflix changed things in Canada too. Very low limits introduced, 3GBs IIRC with a $2 charge per GB for going over. With an election approaching the government overrode the new rules but I'm sure they'll revert once the election is over.
While HPFS is resistant to fragmentation it will fragment in a couple of cases. Close to full disk. Applications that don't tell the file system how much space they need, and files that grow. An example of HPFS fragmentation, E:\Mozprofiles\Thunderbird\Profiles\htc8i1pf.default\Mail\Local Folders\ffmpeg Comprises 260 extents. While most of this drive is not fragmented, the Mozilla profiles are very fragmented, to the point that I'm going to move them to a different partition then back to defrag them.
According to ID, the original spec was for it to be vertical. Now evolution would explain it as the spec changing and a spine that evolved for horizontal use would have problems adjusting to vertical use.

They'd also freeze like numerous bodies in our solar system, Europa being the best known example.

How do you know it is not a problem?
And historically there were a lot of problems with open ballets, especially for the common person.

Why would the competition help you out with lower prices when they can also raise their prices and make their shareholders happy.
Voting by mail seems like a big problem since as you say it can have all the problems as a non-secret ballot plus seems much easier to game.

Spread very thin though. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium-3#Extraterrestrial_supplies

Isn't there a base on the island of Cuba full of non-citizens who did acts on soil that wasn't U.S?

Good, an honest explanation why the USA has one of the lowest murder rates and smallest prison populations in the world.
It seems to me that the Canadian courts have ruled that making available is not distribution. Which is probably the worst that ISOHunt is doing.
