There was a story in Popular Science a few years ago that said, "In ten years we'll all be using LED lights in our home".
Two hurdles to this have emerged. Firstly, AFAIK there isn't a standardized bulb socket + bulb setup yet. (If they could get them to work with existing infrastructure, awesome!) Secondly, we have the potential for perfect white light - like sunlight - which is healthier for us in general and better on the eyes, but those blues are hard to get right. That's why "white" LEDs still have a bluish tint nowadays.
A typical court is going to have the leader - king, queen, etc. - and a whole bunch of staff. Retainers, advisors, etc. It could be his head advisor that is saying, "But it has to be this way! We must protect the honor of the King!", to which he would reluctantly agree to get the guy to shut the Hell up.

Yes you can, it's called Dual Citizenship and is possible with many nations. I think the whole "Obama is really this guy with a different name and he's not an American citizen" smacks of cheap tactics on whatever side didn't want him elected.
Is it possible? Yes. Any chance in hell of proving it to the point that he'll be removed from office? No.
U.N. sanctions are typically stuff like "Well, we won't trade with you now until you learn to behave."
The problem is that the people in charge have enough money to get all the stuff they way - cars, booze, food, etc. - smuggled into the country.
If North Korea were an island, things would be easy peezy for a blockade. Set up ships and sink anything we don't want through. But since they have a land border with China, we basically can't do shit.
If the U.N. somehow magically got China to agree to a full-on blockade of Korea - boats on the Eastern and Western shores, and a decently-sized land force on the Northern shore - that might wake some people up and get things done in N. Korea. But that's not gonna happen anytime soon, so we're just going to have more of the status quo.
A lot of buffets now have time limits, i.e. "All you can eat - 90 minute seating limit".
They also can and will ask you to leave for eating too much. One of my good friends has been asked to leave several times. Ironically, he's in incredibly good shape and probably weighs around 140-150 - he just has an insane metabolism.
Back in the early 90s, a NES cart would go fo $75 at Toys 'R Us.
$75.
And people are getting games way, way more complex for less than that?
Even so, I do agree that the price is too high. I think a lot of it has to do with the "movie box office" style of sales they employ - they make most of their money in the first few weeks of sale and then it drops off to practically nothing after that. I believe this is a non-issue through smart marketing and digital distribution.
I'd like this too, but with the ability to set the number. After all, look at the state of the community before I joined. (And then look what I did to it.)
I would submit that tax dollars spent at NASA are rarely wasted.
Imagine, for a moment, that someone proposes to drive across the desert. A company spends millions of dollars and debuts a 5 wheeled car. Why? The 4 wheeled car is proven and safe.
THAT is what is most important to NASA - proven, and safe.

Never have words so important been said so eloquently.

Adobe is going to PUMP *clap* YOU UP!
Azgard's Law: Anytime Col. O'Neil is in imminent danger, Thor beams him up to his ship.
The problem isn't that "Google wins", but that "the people trying to sell you a new phone & contract lose".
Wait, there's a filing fee for bankruptcy?
That's like having an all-you-can-eat buffet at fat camp.
Who says its his idea?

Insult the Queen Mum in the middle of Piccadilly Circus and see how far you can run before getting your teeth kicked in.
The places where it's a crime, though? That has to change.
Sure, smart idea. Piss off a legion of anime geeks with computer skills who live all around the world.
By the time Obama finishes saying "tragedy" North Korea will be surrending.

I very distinctly recall as a child looking at NES game prices around 1991-1992 in my local Toys R' Us. I live in New Jersey, your mileage may vary.
Prices would go $70, $75, $60, $65, $75, $75, $75... mostly $75. Nothing really higher, though.

All those windmills never really hurt Denmark.
I think we'll be fine.
Get a couple of native-born Indian friends and THEN you can talk about spicy.
They have ruined hot sauce for me.
They put jalapenos on everything.

Is that 40 real dollars, or 40 dollars in your Australian funny money?
The Transformers, Beast Wars, and Power Rangers quotes shamelessly included make it all the more worthwhile.
"Terra-tron... TERRORIZE!"
"More... than meets... the eye!"
etc.
If he's working his way backwards... well, whoever has the 853092 UID should be stocking up on ammo right about now.
How about this one for an achievment?

Judging by the timestamp of the article and your post, I'd say approximately three minutes.
