"Tickets for high-speed trains can be twice as expensive as the highest-class tickets on regular-speed trains. A high-speed rail ticket between eastern China's Wuhan and Guangzhou, for example, costs 469 yuan, or about $70. That is prohibitively expensive for many Chinese, and has resulted in at least some trains operating almost empty, industry experts say."
Suicide is not immoral and those governments who are the harshest against human rights always outlaw abortion and suicide right off the bat. Abolishing suicide is just another attempt at government control of citizens.
Once deportations and the systematic mass murder of Jews began in WW2, SS guards severely punished individuals attempting to commit suicide as it was an expression of self- determination that ran counter to the Nazi total claim over the lives and bodies of the inmates.
"Depends on your definition of ancient. The guy could be from a race that lives for a very, very long time. Yoda was nearly 1000 when he died in episode 5; and the Palpatine was at least as old as Yoda from the back story given."
Palpatine was 82 years old when the Battle of Yavin happened in A New Hope, not as old as Yoda.
Thats what you need to keep avionics from being disrupted and vice versa according to the DoD, they've done a lot of testing on that stuff over the last 30 years.
I've been driving 24 years now and the drunk driving problem is a huge problem.
Four family friends were killed by a drunk driver one night at dusk in '88, the drunk came across the center line and hit them head one, five dead total. Another friend lost his legs when a drunk driver clipped him and took the legs off at the knees.
Etc, etc, I'm not in favor of DUI check points, MADD or any of that crap, but drunk driving has been a huge problem since the 1960s.
Right, a lot of old growth is gone, but just like when a wild fire comes through, forests die and regrow, as wood becomes less and less important for building and fuel, the trees we have will get bigger.
I live in 1300 square feet in a condo, Friedman lives in 11,400 square feet in a multiple building estate
This would be the same if my doctor told me never to smoke while chain smoking 8 packs a day and blowing it my face.
If Thomas Friedman wants to talk about sustainability, thats great, then he should practice what he preaches. He doesn't, and he and his wife made money off one of the worst drivers of urban sprawl, large lot shopping centers.
The US was not "covered in forest", the central US also know as the Great Plains were never forested, nor was the bulk of the American Southwest.
Prior to the arrival of European-Americans about one half of the United States land area was forest, about 4 million square kilometers (1 billion acres) in 1600, today about 3 million square kilometers (747 million acres) are forested. The forest resources of the United States have remained relatively constant through the entire 20th century.
Fertilizer has nothing to do with top soil erosion, but about increasing crop yields, part of the Green Revolution.
As soon as carbon nano fibers, other nano technologies really become commercially viable, there will be another huge turn around in scarcity and economic growth.
He has a 9.6 million dollar, 11,400 square foot home.
Oh and his wife used to own a company developing mall properties, those high square foot, poorly insulated buildings surrounded by heat absorbing asphalt.
2. That they know what "webcam lights" are. Personally, I wouldn't know, but then, I never owned a Mac.
Macs aren't the only computers with webcams or lights that show the webcam is operating. Every built in and external webcam I've seen has an LED that show if it's working.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Telling the media they can't cover a trial in progress violates the First Amendment.
Furthermore, Chief Justice Hughes defined the press as, "every sort of publication which affords a vehicle of information and opinion."
As of Jan 18 2011, iOS (iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad, AppleTV) account for 67% of Apple revenue.
Apple has sold 200 million iOS devices in four years, they have not sold 600 million computers running OS X, Apple is currently selling about 3.5-3.8 million OS X computers a quarter for 14-15.2 million a year.
Massive growth started in 2005, however iOS came out in June 2007 and the App Store came out in July 2008.
Really, the massive growth is from the iPod, iTunes music sales and from the consumer computers, iMac and iBook/MacBooks in the year before and years after Apple's transition from PowerPC to Intel architecture.
Because the US Government has never suppressed information or tried to hide it's involvement with any of the Indian Wars, battles or massacres that occurred during them and in modern times, never tried to hide the destruction of the Bonus Army camp in Washington DC.
"The Bonus Army was the popular name of an assemblage of some 43,000 marchers—17,000 World War I veterans, their families, and affiliated groups—who gathered in Washington, D.C., in the spring and summer of 1932 to demand immediate cash-payment redemption of their service certificates."
"On July 28, U.S. Attorney General William D. Mitchell ordered the veterans removed from all government property. Washington police met with resistance, shots were fired and two veterans were wounded and later died. President Herbert Hoover then ordered the army to clear the veterans' campsite. Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur commanded the infantry and cavalry supported by six tanks. The Bonus Army marchers with their wives and children were driven out, and their shelters and belongings burned.'

Tell that to a planet whose star novas.
We also know that the Sun makes up 99.86 percent of the solar system's known mass and produces 99.8 percent of the solar system's energy.
It pushes out about 1,368 W/m2 to the Earth, but no, the Sun really can't have any real impact on global warming or cooling.

The planes are already shielded against the external radars, ECM, ECCM, coms, SIGINT, nuclear pulse, etc.
The PDA/PED gear cables are against internal interference/interfering.
Have you seen how heavily shielded the cables and connections for PDAs and other PEDs are in US military aircraft?

Unless it's being burned, it's a carbon sink that way.

Apple was selling 4-6 million Macs a year in 2001-2003, then it's gone up to today's numbers of 15 million.
That does not add up to 200 million no matter how you do the math.

I went to a medium sized state school to finish undergrad and do grad school.
While some were just there for a job degree, we had our share of real intellectuals, especially in History, Stats and Geology.
