Easy. First we develop a method for creating hurricanes. Once we can reliably spawn hurricanes at will, we can test our methods of stopping them. Personally, I'm all for just turning off disasters.
The important part of that statement is the MLP is what goes into the high bays for assembly of the craft and moving the vehicle to the launch site. In other words it is officially the successor NASA rocket by following in the footsteps of the Saturn rockets and space shuttle.
Outside/., I mostly read the Chicago Tribune. Sure, they aren't perfect, but they do a good share of reporting on crooked politians (being in good supply around here). If I had to pick between politicians and the media, I'd trust the media. They are far less harmful, and they can even occasionally be helpful.
Does this mean I can soon buy a retired space shuttle? (I'm sure the shuttles will go to museums or stay with NASA, but I can still hope... I just need that winning lottery ticket still.)
The word "donation" is often used to refer to giving money to a person or organization in need- basically it has the notion of charity. Therefore I prefer to just call these corporate spending patterns legalized bribes like they are.
I'm assuming once someone buys a cow at the auction house they are responsible for transporting the animal. If the same holds when the auction is online, the original farmer is no longer paying for transportation of the animals (if that is not the case, the buyer is no longer directly paying for transportation). You wouldn't buy a plane ticket from A to (random location), then (random location) to B- so why wouldn't you ship the cows directly? Not to mention at the auction site the cows have to be handled, fed, tracked and sorted; that is a lot of work (cost) that can be removed if the cows are kept on the farm until they can be shipped straight to the new owner.
A large jet might be able to take over where trucks and roads fail. Expensive, but it might be the only way. You still need trucks to get it to and from the airports, but you gain a lot of flexibility on what routes are available. I know there are helicopters that can lift a tank, so it may be possible to airlift the blades short distances. I don't know how big the blades get on 5,10MW units but picturing three 747s in place of turbine blades, I don't know anything short of a ship that could handle cargo too big to fly.
At least 16? I thought there were only 16 colors. 17 if you count "light urple". Everyone knows things like mahogany and lavender are objects, not colors.
Brazil has sugarcane to produce ethanol where it cannot make enough oil. France is small, has little (no?) oil to produce for itself and no economical source for ethanol. The only way this has to do with nuclear is France's lack of plentiful domestic fossil fuel makes nuclear more attractive. While nuclear is generally more expensive (less attractive) than fossil fuel power, oil isn't a direct part of the equation. We (US) would probably have more nuclear plants if it weren't for the plentiful coal- I don't think that picture will change because of any fluctuation in our oil imports.
Get a picture of them if you can- it gives a better sense of scale when you see those blades laid down on a truck in front of you rather than a few hundred feet in the air.
If coal is cheap and wind is clean, then we should burn coal to power turbines that generate wind, then get electricity from wind turbines. It becomes a win-win!
I use the phrase 'hijacked' loosely. If a person leaves the car running, the keys in the ignition and the windows down (pun intended), can they say that their car was 'stolen'?
It would be more like the car never came with doors and the keys are permanently attached to the ignition. Doors, locks and better keys have to be installed separately by the user.
Most sites that store such information make it clear when your shipping address pops up or it asks if you want to save your credit card info. I'm talking about anything that would be newly revealed if companies are forced to inform you of everything they know about you. Not that the security issue is any less important for info currently on file, but that security should already be in place.
If it is information that should be kept from others, and the company doesn't tell you it has the information, then it sounds like information you don't want them collecting in the first place. It won't be a security problem once the company has to delete said info in order to keep the customer from being scared away in the event that full disclosure becomes required.
USA's nukes arent just for our own sake. Dozens of countries rely on our arsenal for their deterrance effect. For us to drop below apocalyptic levels of nukes, we would need to get the whole UN on board to make sure no one has a problem with it. If we destroyed all of our nukes today, there would be a sudden arms race to maintain that deterrance. If all of our allies built nuke stockpiles to replace ours, their not-as-friendly neighbors would feel threatened and follow suit (see India/Pakistan). I don't want the world to have dozens of countries on the verge of nuclear war, so I say the US should keep a reasonable number of nukes. If Iran is comfortable taunting us about their nuclear program, I think it's a good indicator that the world trusts us to have some restraint with our nukes.
As an idealist I would like to see zero nukes, but as a realist I know that a nuclear war is the only thing that would empty those stockpiles.
This really gives me problems. I like to keep things "just in case", but I am also frugal (for example, I got my stats prof. to scan the problem sets so I could use the old edition). So I've got lots of textbooks I MIGHT need, but I am constantly annoyed that I am losing out on the resell value. At least with my old editions I spent $20 or less and I know I can't resell them anyways.
I rented from Chegg back in winter quarter. The book was about $120 at the bookstore and $80 through Chegg. The best I could find otherwise online was ~$100*. It would probably be better for me to buy one and resell it directly (not through the bookstore), but Chegg takes up the risk of edition changes or a hard time finding a buyer. I don't think I'll use them a lot, just if I can't find a better deal and the course isn't offered the next term (for resell). The relevant point: they can often make up the cost after 2-3 rentals, and pick up more of the tab when students buy the book post-rental.
*I usually use Bigwords and half.com to find good deals. I also email professors ahead of time to see if using the old edition is feasible. Buying an old edition for $8 is worth the hassle of trying to get a copy of the homework from a classmate when the new edition is $120.
My professors give zeros to people using the teacher's manual solution verbatim. Usually it is easy to spot since people format the solution the same way. I'm talking about engineering courses here so YMMV on gen. ed. courses. At least at my school this would not be a problem.

That's what I said: you don't want to do that; if you can efficiently go straight from A to B you do so.

Easy, just take a helicopter and switch out the rotors with the turbine blades.

so it is a waist.
It's Texas. There is more waist there than any other state.

For those needing a car analogy: it's like* a car.
*The value of "like" in this sentence is negligible, so the word may be omitted.

I bet we'll soon see Bing roll out GoogleMoon to show up Google's GoogleEarth.
Easy, just filter out all the gold in the process and you'll turn a profit! The ocean IS the biggest gold mine on earth.
I know an FBI agent who is issued a Blackberry, so I agree they are keeping up with technology fairly well.
