If you fail to register for the draft, you are ineligible for any sort of educational federal financial aid (should you choose to take advantage of it), and you will have great difficulty ever obtaining federal employment in many different agencies (if that's something you'd like to do.)
Not true for any female!!
I have never heard of any women posting not having this "right" when they complain about NOT being treated equally.

Yeah, we all know the Kennedy clan is just full of Republicans.
FYI: It was blocked by members of the Kennedy clan. But, I think the clan leader who protested the most died; so maybe they stopped blocking it.

By "Obama Phone" I assume you mean the Lifeline Assistance program, which was put in place long before Obama took office. In fact, it was instituted under none other than Ronald Reagan.
I have an uncle like you., and it's depressing.
Most likely you are wrong; most common meaning of "Obama Phone" is the free cell phone program.
Which was started under G.W. Bush.

The poster likely meant they can NOT destroy the correct target over the horizon.
Think about it; they want no explosive in the projectile; therefore the speed of the projectile is needed to destroy most if not all military targets.
When the projectile slows down it will likely tumble therefore the chance of missing the correct target goes up.
And, with lower speed the likelihood of damaging the target goes down.

This is wrong "Moons in our Solar System" should be either "Moons in the Solar System" or "Moons in our star system".
I hate reading Sci-Fi books that has multiple solar systems in our galaxy.

I can not remember when I had my first science class; I do remember science in 5th grade (10 to 11 years old).
When does most places start science education?

I think most people would prefer that it reduces the possibility of a visit from the men in the black suvs. As well as wasting taxpayers money dealing with repeat performances, or losing their toys to an anti-drone system. You simply don't have the right to fly drones just anywhere.
Does it reduce the possibility of a visit from men in black helicopters?
Or visits from government drones (flying or other types)?

How can the prove that the sulfur bacteria has not evolved?
Note: They could prove that the sulfur bacteria still exists like it did long ago.
But, I see no way they can prove there was NOT failed evolution paths taken in the past.
And, I am NOT sure that there has NOT been evolution paths taken in the past that has resulted in bacteria so different that it might not be currently believed they evolved from this sulfur bacteria.

How common are datacenter fires? The last time I heard about a computer catching fire was more than 20 years ago, and the fire was minor and didn't spread to adjacent equipment. They seem to be putting a lot of effort and expense into solving a "problem" that has already be adequately solved.
Other than fire suppression, is there any other practical advantage to locating a datacenter underground?
I would guess that they could NOT figure out a cheap and safe way to supply good air to breath down that deep.
So, they decided to go low oxygen environment.

Personally I would worry more about the large Drones in the White House and on the Grounds than the small ones.
Drone: one that lives on the labors of others.

When I used the personal vehicle for work, I had to pay a little extra to have coverage.
And, this was just me transporting myself and tools from job site to job site.

Airbus seems to think pilots are stupid.
But, in their defense there does seem to have been a lot of Airbus accidents caused by pilot error.
So, either Airbus pilots are more stupid or their training is really bad.

So you see nothing wrong with a professor using his status to obtain sexual favors?
How can there be any thing wrong with it.
An Professor to student power differential is much less than the President and a college intern differential.
And, we all were told that that one did not matter at all./sarc

I guess this was the UK radiation release I read about around 1980 (doing High School project) and not Chernobyl release that cause the sheep farms problem.
That High School project was why I knew the reports was full of it when they talked about TMI.
Tim S.
The problem is technically we can not build an Saturn V; the project was not documented well enough on what was done and for what reason.
To much knowledge was only in people heads and never written down in one single place.

I'm pretty sure Aperture Science used the same architect.
So far your post is the only one good. I hope some more good posts happen or it going to look like Slashdot has gone to seed. Tim S.
