How can they "build it at the space station"? The ISS has no construction or testing hardware, everything you built at the ISS would have to be launched from Earth anyway.
It's Holy Scripture when it takes a bunch of guys who are elected through the current gerrymandered system to pass the amendment in Congress and a bunch of guys who develop the gerrymandered system at the state level to pass it in 3/4ths of the states.
If the census shows a big enough loss in population from State X, and a big enough increase in population in State Y, State X will lose a seat while State Y will gain one, leading to redistricting in both X and Y.
"Since 2006 the number of mobile-phone-related patent complaints has increased by 20% annually, according to Lex Machina, a firm that keeps a database of intellectual-property spats in America."
The first iPhone was unveiled by Apple CEO Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007, and released on June 29, 2007.
So the mobile patent wars started before Apple showed up, Apple just added another litigation happy company with a ton of patents and money to the mix.
If Ireland had remained all Catholic, the Troubles would have been alot less violent.
Yes outlawing personal choice is bad now, but in the ancient Middle East with tribalism, religious difference, inter and extra clan fighting, taking one of the variables out leads to more stability.
Look at the Beduins, they have a saying - "I against my brother, my brothers and me against my cousins, then my cousins and I against strangers". Without a religion to bind the tribe, it would add another thing to fight over.
Legislatures are a modern mechanism for lawmaking, the oldest legislature, Iceland's Althing dates to 938 CE or 1073 years ago, while the oldest continuously inhabited city is 11,000 years old.
Actually the parting of the Reed Sea/Sea of Reeds is quite possible and feasible, the Red Sea myth is the result of mistranslation.
Well I have to drive my own car because I live somewhere without decent mass transit (the 8-10 minute drive would be 1.5-2 hours each way with the bus system), cabs are prohibitively expensive (it'd cost 200 dollars a week to get to work) and the winters can be -30 F for weeks at a time.
Do you also believe that all non-prescription drugs should be banned?
Its part of the Nevada Test Range, the NTS area next to it is 15, the block commonly called Area 51 is more properly known as Groom Lake (for the dry lakebed there) and on some maps, CIA documents and in corporate literature that block is Area 51.
The Presidential Determination that keeps Federal Courts from touching operations there refers to it as "The Air Force's Operating Location Near Groom Lake, Nevada:.
Humans were and are violent Great Apes living in giant societies that are alien to what our species lived like for the majority of it's time on the planet. Why would we be beyond what we were 2000 or 5000 years ago?
The fact that we don't throw feces at each other during arguments is real progress.
With the advent of cities and societies following the end of the Ice Age there had to be moral codes, now how do you establish those? With stories of how and why the God(s) everyone believes in gave us these laws, or through dictatorship.
Explaining to Stone and Bronze Age man that he shouldn't kill his neighbor, steal the neighbor's wife and sell the neighbor's children into slavery for the good of the society isn't going to get much traction. Telling SaBA man that God forbids the killing of his neighbor, lusting after the neighbor's wife and selling the neighbor's children into slavery is more likely to get the guy not to do those things.
While I'm not and never have been religious, I understand why it was needed to create frameworks for society.
Actually, religion had an important role in the ancient world, establishment of moral codes that were conductive to building a community and society. The Ten Commandments for example really aren't about control without valid reason, but a good basis for society.
The first few are about there being only one religion, that keeps sectarian violence to a minimum, then a break/worship day - even for slaves. Honor your elders, no murder - leads to revenge killing, takes valuable members of the community away, no adultery - those lead to honor killings, outcasts and revenge killings, no theft, no lying about your neighbors.
Its the business of the Google stockholders, thats why the WSJ is looking into it. Not sure if you've been keeping up but skyrocketing executive compensation rates have been on the radar of global financial news organizations for the last 20 years.
Often executives who "buy" jets will then lease them back to their company for a large profit, further inflating executive compensation.
Steve Jobs has been doing it since the Apple board "gave" him a biz jet about a decade ago, Ellison does it, Jack Walsh of GE was notorious for it.
A concentration camp is one thing, a prisoner of war camp is technically a concentration camp, and don't single out the Japanese Americans, we put Alaska Natives, Germans and Italians in concentration camps during the Second World War, as did the Canadians.
The Nazis had Hostage camps (or death camps), Labor camps, POW camps, Camps for rehabilitation and re-education of Poles, Transit and collection camps and Extermination camps.
I had a German relative in Fort Lincoln North Dakota for a year and eight months in WW2 and four Polish relatives die at Majdanek (a Labor camp). Theres a big difference between what the US did and what the Germans did.
Fine don't use American developed technology, so no Internet, no GPS, no computer mice, no GUI on a computer. Don't buy anything American made or American developed, but don't preach morals, the Swedes happily sold the Nazis whatever they could while Europe burned.
North Africa, Arabian peninsula, Mongolia, Alaska, or the Yukon seem like good bets to me.
If you are in Europe and the zombie outbreak starts, go to Tunisia, Morocco, Libya or Algeria, easy to get to the deep desert, the population is Muslim so they have to give assistance to strangers, they have guns and will use them.
Egypt has too many people, the zombies will take over Cairo, Israel might be a good bet, but it's so urbanized in Tel Aviv an outbreak could kick in and take out the center of the country quickly. Jordan might be a good bet. Syria is on a road to the center of populated Iraq, too many people around.
When the zombies come, look for tribal religious people with a history of firearms, that's your best bet for survival, make, sure you have a skill to bring along.and can pick up a religion quickly, Islam is good for that because it's a quick conversion.
Go for the Pacific, alot of isolated islands with low populations, no major rivers pushing zombies out to sea. Niger, Congo, Amazon, Mississippi, Plate come to mind for the Atlantic vs the Columbia and Yukon for all of the eastern Pacific.
Canada does have alot of hunters and the Canadian Forces have a well deserved reputation in Afghanistan, Korea, WW2 and WW1 as being lead from the front while killing the enemy types. Rural Canada and the western provinces will be just fine.
Israel, South Africa, rural Brazil, Argentina, Mongolia, rural Russia, rural Pakistan, Iran and the Gulf states similarly will be good bets for survival.
Parts of Europe will be worse off than others, but with large US and local bases secured against terrorism and infiltration, those will be safe spots to fight off the zombies.
I could see the US bases in Okinawa and Korea being overrun because they are so close to giant urban centers, but in places like the UK, Italy, Holland, Greece, Poland, Germany, Iraq, and the 'Stans they would be well positioned to assist local governments.
Yea, the.223 is a good choice, but with the.44 any good head shot is going to do alot of hydrostatic shock to the entire head, destroying the brain.
So alternately pickup a flat top AR-15/M-16/M-4 and get a holographic sight or like a 3x scope, switch to single fire if you've gotten the M-16/M-4 and go for the brain case

I won't support Wikipedia getting UNESCO recognition because that would lower the bar for UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Have the change the Constitution to get rid of districts, so it'll never happen.
Don't let reality get in the way of your Apple hate.

Yea, 200 dollars a week for a cab to and from work would be awesome.
Right now I spend about 20 a week for gas which includes going to the store and other errands and trips around town.
Those are for posers, real Libyan custom cars have rocket pods on them.
I've not been out there, closest I've come is Vegas and the Atomic Testing Museum over by UNLV.
I'm a big history buff on the US nuclear weapon testing programs, less on Area 51 though.

If the infection is bloodborne, do you want to mess around with up close?
Not to mention HIV, Hep or anything else the former living might have floating in their blood and brains.
