Your information on corn, at least, is massively, totally wrong. Feed corn is still raised by family farmers. I suppose that there might be some corporate entities which aren't actually famlies seeking tax and lawsuit protection that rent out farm land to family farmers, but it is the family farmers who are doing the farming. The farms are further apart these days, thanks to the government's cheap food incumbent-protection policy, but they are still family farms.
Unquestionably the screen play for LOTR needs a complete rewrite. Cut what Jackson added, return some of what he cut. Restore the proper personalities and characters to Aragon, Faramir, Denethor and Gimli. Restore the most important part, which brings the whole point home: The Scouring of the Shire. No, Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh cannot write better than Tolkien.
More suspense, where Tolkien had suspense, and fewer silly "car chases".
One of the worst things about the movies, apart from his changing the nature of some characters because he disagrees with Tolkien's beliefs, was that he can't do suspense. He has to replace it with gore. Let's find a competent director, please.
Scramjets have a problem when it comes to passenger or cargo transport: Complexity and the tresses of being in the atmosphere at such high speeds.
The Hudson Phoenix design, as tested as the Delta Clipper-X is the right way to go. Simple ballistic travel, land on the tail, Safe return with redundant engine failure, and anywhere on the globe in 90 minutes or less.
Remember that SpaceShip One wasn't going all that fast, either, and it hit the used-definition of space. You don't want to be going at high speeds in the sensible atmosphere for non-military uses. It isn't cost-effective, and it isn't as safe.
Ballistics are much safer, cheaper and with rapid turn-arounds.
they will not hassle you. Demand to be treated as an American citizen, that's when they get rough.
So, will you be a coward, or will you be an American?
Actually, most of us find atheists to be the total nut jobs, especially when you guys butchered over 100 million people in the last century in the pursuit of your perfect atheist States.
And to think that someone could confuse Christianity with racial purity nonsense, when the two are antithetically opposed. And in the information age, when stuff like this could be looked up. Sigh.
An SR-71 pilot has to be very good, able to keep his mouth shut, and do recon. It is not an attack bird, at least not normally. I'm sure back in the '60s they tried several mods to see what it could do. (and to think that a retired Skunk Works manager said that they were actually 50 years ahead of what we know about - hooyah!)
We still need dragoons (mobile infantry), and we still need heavies to take out the heavies that take out the dragoons.
What we may see are RV force multipliers and scouts, such as the raven, the artificial dragonfly from the 1970s, the existing rv rovers used by forces in Iraq for looking in rooms before the soldiers go in, and so forth. What we may be up against would be anything from individuals with RPGs, Stingers and rifles, to main battle tanks and SU-37s. We need to be prepared against anything that we might encounter, depending on the battlefield.
Then there are the two old observations that those who live inside the Beltway pocket universe need to remember:
1) Soldiers make poor policemen and policemen make poor soldiers.
2) Never, ever anger the legions.
Attractive nuisance? If so, that is a remarkably draconian use of it, and not consistently applied, such as to library and school computers.
But how many presidential candidates this time have not already promised to perjure themselves when they take their constitutional oaths, if elected?
The Muslim Arabs have been persecuting the native Egyptian Christians since the occupied that land more than a thousand years ago. Lately, it has been increasing.
For Yahoo and YouTube to cooperate in this persecution of Christians and genocide of the ancient Egyptian people is surely illegal, and unquestionably immoral and despicable.
I would strongly encourage boycotting both organizations.
The actual data, including -historical- data, disprove their hypothesis, however, their claims are politically correct.
It appears that the first humans in the Americas were Melanesians, similar to the Australian Aborigenes, possibly as long as 40,000 years ago.
The next major wave appear to have been Europeans (though probably more like the Tuareg, Basque, "black Irish" and Saami, than blonds or redheads. These were the Red Paint People, and also the Clovis culture.
Then came a -series- of migrations from Siberia, normally along the seacoast by boat, and NOT over the Bering land bridge. The most recent major migrations were the Athabascan/Dineh/Na-Dineh, then then Inuit, who finally eliminated the Dorset -after- the Norwegians had lived in Greenland for a few hundred years.
To this day, Inuit peoples move freely across the Bering Straits in kayaks.
The prevelance of a gene marker simply means that the locals intermarried, which we already know from their oral histories. Further, the local populations are not genetically homogenous; the Cheyenne show a higher than average European component probably going back to the Clovis people. The Olmec heads may show Melanesian ancestery. The culture of the PNE is nearly identical to that of the Jomon peoples of ancient Japan and Korea (now known as the Ainu of Hokaido, which have heavily interbred with the later Japanese invaders) The anime movie Princess Mononoke illustrates this in an anime fashion.
Peoples moved around a lot. The dirt or stone pyramid building/human sacrificing culture can be found from St. Louis, Missouri to the Peruvian coastal plains. The cities of the Wari and Inca closely resemble those of the Ainu and Peublo peoples. The lodge-towns (or as they are called in early European cultures, "hall"s such as Heorot's Hall in Beowulf) culture is found from Canada to the Amazon.
We should take the locals seriously when they tell us their oral histories about coming from different places, including Europe, and about their migrations in North and South America.
That is a conundrum.
Stealing requires taking real property from someone so that they no longer have it. In that case, copying is not stealing.
However, it is also written that "the workman is worthy of his hire." The artists and coders -do- deserve to be paid.
For the execs and lawyers to claim stealing, however, is wrong.
Cholesterol is the body's building material. The body makes it, it doesn't come straight from the food you eat. That is why eating eggs is good for you. If you have high cholesterol you are probably genetically primed for that. You may need to eat a more -balanced- diet, drink some green tea and red wine every day, and so on, and that will help, as will moderate exercise, but it isn't a matter of what goes into the matter decompiler (your small intestine)
Sorry, calories in, calories out is simply unscientific. We aren't talking about a simple machine here, but a very complex one with all sorts of feed-back loops built in, susceptible to viral damage resulting in obesity, etc. Eat less, and your metabolism will slow down and you will gain weight, because your body goes into famine mode.
Some people do burn about what they eat, without energy storage. These are people with genes which would have killed them in past centuries, in any famine, or just in say, February when the larder was nearly bare.
Then add to it that it turns out that the 'overweight' region on the BMI, which used to be regarded as the healthy range *really is* the healthiest range, even though there is more meat on the bones than in a bulemic runway model's body.
But I am amazed that people who are capable of learning are unable or unwilling to learn, and just assume that the body is a very simple mathematical black box - just so that they can feel superior to other people.
When I worked for a temp agency, I was required to sign a two-year non-compete, agreeing not to work in the IT for two years after the term of employment.
So, yes, I've heard of it before.

Under "takings" Government regulation has increased cost to you, so the government has to make it up to you.

This was found rather a while ago.

I was thinking in terms of the common law.

The idiot doesn't even know that ID holds to old earth dates, and to darwinian evolution.
Whining? About the brutal persecution of the ancient Egyptian people in Egypt by the Arab government? What kind of monster are you?

More likely to be fired if he -does- read the Bible. The New Atheists are ruthless.
I thought that had been proven. The tracks are caused by water or wind reacting to the presence of the rocks, giving the illusion of trails.

This indicates that these metamaterials are able to produce superluminal effects! Red moving faster than blue!
What I want to know is, when are they going to finally make the oceans halogen-free?
Or otherwise disorient the pilot.
When I worked for a temp agency, I was required to sign a two-year non-compete, agreeing not to work in the IT for two years after the term of employment. So, yes, I've heard of it before.
And was the precursor to Star Trek, and homage was paid to it with the purist ship on Mars in Enterprise.
Cool!
