Interior Alaska, northern BC/Manitoba/Alberta/Saskatawan/Ontario/Quebec, Siberia would be easier than both of those and theres a ton of room and next to no people.
Alaska - 586,000 square miles and 700,000 people Island of Great Britian - 85,000 square miles and 60,000,000 people
One could fit two Great Britians in the Yukon and have land left over.
The planet doesn't have too high of population density, it has distrubtion of population problems
The ownership of the subsurface would belong to the surface owners all the way to the core.
Now some rights - water and mineral rights - don't always belong to the surface holder, an example in the US is on Indian Reservations, mineral rights remain under the control of the US Department of Interior.
50 km under Kansas would still be Kansas.
We don't populate the subsurface because it's a nasty place, hot and wet.
"I highly doubt that someone in the public eye as much as Assange (not to mention someone who is under a microscope already) would have something to do with rape."
People in the public eye do stupid things all the time. Murder, rape, assault, dog fighting, attempted murder all come to mind in just the last year.
"Apple's PC market share is just now at 10% in the U.S." No, Apple's PC market share is now up to 10% in the U.S., 10 years ago it was at about 2.8-3.0%
If I use gmail, they sell ads based on the message subject and headings, even if you pay for small business service.
If I use iMovie, iDVD, Garageband with Mac OS, Apple doesn't know what the hell I'm doing with it. I've not gotten any ads about Autism from Apple when I edit a Autism video with iMovie and burn a disk with iDVD or DVD Studio Pro. If I send some emails about Autism out, I'll see Google ads about Autism within a couple minutes.
There has been right-click in MacOS and OS X since System 7.6 which was 1997. It really took off in System 8, which is when I started using a two button mouse and trackball.
For one button mice, you could emulate right click with Control-Click
It might have worked in System 7.5, I don't remember if it did back then.
To their credit, they did go after CIA/FBI in the 1970s, but after Carter they really did fold. There was Iran/Contra through the end of the Bush Administration, but nothing happened from '93-95 when they had both houses and the Presidency, and nothing happened from '07-now when they've controlled both houses and two years of the Executive branch.
Because Vandenberg AFB has Minuteman silos for testing and Ballistic Missile Defense silos for testing, both of which could house active duty Minuteman III missiles.
Edwards AFB is home to a test wing which includes B-1B and B-2 bombers both of which are nuclear capable, or until 2007 were.
There are three carriers based in California, all of which carry nuclear weapons
But at the end of it, all this shows is that the Moderate Republicans (W, McCain) and Moderate Democrats (Clinton, Obama) are pretty much cut from the same cloth.
Interventionist, high domestic spending folks who only waver on domestic issues like health care, both sides are grey the shade is just a little different.
Desert Badger, the operation was written up late in '99 and early '00, Clinton and Blair had already agreed if a Northern or Southern Watch plane went down in Iraq they'd use it as the trigger for an invasion of Basra and Kurdistan. Those planes weren't going to keep doing CAPs forever without an accident.
I still firmly believe that with Gore in the White House the US would have gone into Iraq. Lieberman was just as hawkish about Iraq as Cheney was.
The Tora Bora "fuck up" happened before the war drums started beating for Iraq, really it was a hold over of the post-Vietnam and Desert One idea that the US public wouldn't stomach any military casualties.
We didn't bomb the crap out of fires in the Hindu Kush or go into Tora Bora cause we didn't want American casualties nor did the lawyers think we could just bomb camp fires.
With a straight face, yes Al Gore would have gone to war with Iraq in his first term.
The Clinton/Gore administration were hawkish on Iraq from 1993 on. The escalation of bombing radar, C2 and C3 nodes in the Northern and Southern No-fly zones were all Clinton policies. Desert Fox was a Clinton administration operation, and the Democrats were fired up in 1999 to start a war with Serbia and invaded Haiti in 1995.
Al Gore ran in 2000 as being more interventionist abroad than George W. Bush did
Not everything, they started a COTS program either right before or right after 9/11. There was a report right after the Invasion of Iraq was over by the Marine Corps which talked about things Marines bought themselves and brought for the war and which of those things the Marine Corps should buy outright off the shelf. Down to "we shouldn't buy Camelbak water packs because civilian models update faster so we should just do a reimbursement if Marines want newer models, or buy them in smaller lots."
I wish I had it here to link to, but its on a laptop at home.
At the other end of the trip, even flying on a gun friendly airline, when I was called up to get my gun case the baggage handler looked me like I was a leaper and all but ran away once I took possession.
I flew with a giant Pelican case that's about 5 and a half feet long with wheels.
Department of Homeland Security is a Cabinet level department, which means President Obama personally picked Janet Napolitano to be Secretary and she answers to him.
On November 5, 2008, Napolitano was named to the advisory board of the Obama-Biden Transition Project. On December 1, 2008, Barack Obama introduced Napolitano as his nominee for United States Secretary of Homeland Security, she was confirmed on January 20, 2009. Janet Napolitano assumed the office of Secretary of Homeland Security on January 21, 2009.
This isn't some minor functionary of the Federal Government deciding this, she has been pushing backscatter X-ray since the day she got her job.

Only thing Ron Paul has said or done that I agree with.
I don't agree that they skipped out on his party affiliation, just down the page they mention Ron Wyden's blocking COICA and don't mention party.

My 8 year old Garmin handheld works great on an airplane at 41,000, assuming I zoom the map out enough so it's not redrawing every couple seconds.
My cousin flys A320s and the GPS on his 3G iPad works just fine in the cockpit.
Since GPS is in space, I'd think you'd get very good GPS reception on ISS.
That's assuming they'd get a 3G iPad, my Wifi only work iPad doesn't have GPS.

The article talks about this extending into other realms like movies.
"About 1 percent of U.S. theater screens already have that type of equipment. But expanding the technology to others could cost nearly $160 million."
Thats the cost of one medium quality action film these days. Hollywood studios should be forced to pay for it.
You said it wrong.
"Apple's PC market share is just now at 10% in the U.S." No, Apple's PC market share is now up to 10% in the U.S., 10 years ago it was at about 2.8-3.0%
No, not really.

I heard the interview with Wu on NPR a couple weeks ago, he didn't have a reason why Apple was so dangerous, it just was.

I think he is just adding keywords so he'll get more hits for his book.

Or like how they've made Golden Rice unmarketable for 12-15 years now.
Doesn't fly up here in Alaska, even in Anchorage the trees are all off line for the winter. We are mostly birches this far north.
The neo-luddites will have more of a hissy fit over "frankentrees" than they will with nanoparticles.
The protesting NIMBY crowd will make genetically modified trees more expensive than ounces or pounds of gold made into nanoparticles.

If the nuclear missile sub is in Lake Michigan and fires it's missile to Europe, is it an SLBM or ICBM?
If a ICBM is based in Hawaii and is launched at Asia, has it lost the Intercontinental?
Which treaty is that?
Because Vandenberg AFB has Minuteman silos for testing and Ballistic Missile Defense silos for testing, both of which could house active duty Minuteman III missiles.
Edwards AFB is home to a test wing which includes B-1B and B-2 bombers both of which are nuclear capable, or until 2007 were.

Yep, I have a set of Wiha screwdrivers for home that I got for like 24 dollars. They'll crack any Macintosh.
MacBook Pros are a breeze to get into.
Unscrew the bottom and you can get to everything.
The G5 and Mac Pro towers have been maintenance dreams for 6-7 years now.
