Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if SpaceX has offered OrbComm another secondary payload berth for another satellite (if they get another test satellite) at cost rather than the regular rate.
Certainly. OrbComm certainly has reason to be disappointed but they would have known before hand that their payload was secondary to the Dragon capsule. On the other hand, had this been any other rocket their payload would have likely been lost. They at least have the opportunity to get some data out of their payload.
The OrbComm was the secondary payload. As such, it is at the whims of the primary payload.
So the engine failed, the rocket corrected to ensure the primary payload reached its orbit. Unfortunately the correction was such that the secondary payload could not reach its orbit.
IIRC, it's the only rocket that can lose an engine or two and still complete it's primary mission. The last rocket that could do that was the Saturn V.
The estate tax does hurt since it takes into account all property and not just cash. The most direct and obvious casualty of it are the loss of small farms or maintaining a farmer caste if you want to look at it that way.
So here's what usually happens. Farmland is extremely valuable but farmers don't have a lot of cash. The problem with farmland is that it is property so for the purpose of the estate tax it's assessed at it's full value rather than the value that could be gotten for it by selling it immediately. Further, the estate tax needs to be fairly quickly if you don't want the IRS hounding you over it which necessitates selling the land quickly. The problem then becomes that the only entity that is able to buy your farmland immediately is going to be the megafarms and they're only going to do it at a steeply discounted price. If you're lucky you'll have a decent amount of cash left over after selling the land and paying the estate taxes but the probability is far greater that you may still owe estate tax or have such a negligible gain that it's not worth it.
The other option is to pay the estate tax with the cash inheritance and keep the land and hope that you can see it for closer to market pricing (in which case you're paying the property tax on those lands that aren't doing anything for you) or someone in the family keeps up the farm or you lease the land for farmers and hope that the farm turns enough to maintain the lease.
I believe there is one product that is no longer made in the USA at all.
Resistance wire. You know, the wire that is made specifically for is resistance values? We used to have 1 manufacturer in the US (I think) but it closed in the 90s. Now I think most of it is manufactured in Sweden and Germany.
The generalize what that means... anything that has a heating element was constructed from parts made outside the US.
The claim is that is impossible for Romney to cut taxes by 20% and maintain revenue neutrality. The lost of revenue from a 20% cut is $86b. Revenue neutral means that he has to come up with $86b between economic growth and other cuts. Some economic models are showing $53b in new revenues from additional economic activity which drops it down to around $33b left to cover and there are two cuts that will cover that and generate an additional $12b in revenues.
Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on how you look at it, I will never serve on a jury as long as I live in Indiana. I have the fortunate, unfortunately, knowledge of knowing what our stat Constitution says about juror's rights and consequently due to my willingness to exert those rights has me consistently thrown out during voir dire.
Lawyers don't seem like it when you cite specific articles and sections from the state constitution to justify your position and claim it to be morally right. I can only hope that during each voir dire I manage to taint the rest of the jurors in the room with what is right.
Well. I guess you could just alter the code so that instead of avoiding near objects it seeks out near objects to strike.
I suspect adding a 3rd dimension and a number of targets that are seeking to kill you creates a bit of difficulty compared to 2 dimensional environment where most targets are not trying to hit you.
So let's say you live in Chicago and have business in Miami. Let's also say that Miami has scanners while Chicago doesn't. How are you going to plan your business? Fly to Miami from Chicago then rent a car and drive back?

No one of importance is asking those questions.

Based on most of your critique, it sounds like you hardly read anything regarding the White Tower or even the books themselves.
It would be easier to steal the USS Missouri from Pearl Harbor.
Fucking huntards. Rolling need on every god damn weapon just because they can use it.

Te flaw with your assessment is that I was playing the game to make money, which I was not. Making money is a pleasant side effect.
