1984 does have a seen with the soldiers of one of those nations. Granted that's not entire proof positive of the war. The three nations, if they exist, could come to various accords. In the end, it's much simpler to assume that the three nations do exist but their wars are predetermined and planned in order for all three nations to keep their populaces stupid.
Except this isn't a case of uptime. Any computer can run for 10 years, on and off. Get 10 years uptime is a whole different story. If this guy actually ran Civ2 for ten years, rather than loading up a save file off an on for 10 years that would be a bit more impressive.
It's not just that. Domestication of animals has a habit of stripping out some of their ability to survive outside of the human environment. They may have some survival instincts but the fact is that these animals are kept in an environment that is devoid of predators and presented with stable and consistent food supplies. A good example of the latter is with some species of birds. Pet birds can reject food based on shape or color. You might even have a bird where you give it pellet feed (with say 4 colored pellets all with the exact same nutrient content) and the bird will only eat the pellets of one color and not touch the rest. Such a bird would die of starvation if released to the wild.
On the other hand, lab mice are bred and raises explicitly for the purposes of lab testing. In fact, without lab testing, these animals would not exist in the first place. There's not much need for pet mice that are conditioned to get cancer.
This is the ultimate reason why I ignore PETA. The animals which I use on a frequent basis or are used to humanity's benefit on a frequent basis tend to be domesticated, raised for some consumptive use for humanity, and would otherwise quickly die out in the wild.
If PETA succeeds then it it succeeds in accomplishing is the future destruction of thousands of animal lives that will never be born because their usage for animal testing, food, or other useful endeavors has been banned.
When each menu items starts with a cap then there is structure because you can see the change in height, marking the start of the next menu item.
Call me blind. But this rant is blown out of proportion. He's complaining about structure, yet there is a very clearly delimited blank space between menu items a blank space which is much large than present in the mixed case version. In fact, I find it a lot easier to read the menu item word in the all capital version compared to the mixed case most based on the large spacing alone.
Am I safe in assuming the limitation of reactants was a usage issue rather than the reactants decaying to useless over time? We've seen stories of drones that should be able to stay in flight for months at a time with in flight refueling.
Now, we're probably not going to launch missiles up to refuel drones such as I presented, but my overall thought was that they would need enough for immediate evasive maneuver but otherwise behave like a spy satellite. The evasive maneuvers could even be just to bring it into the atmosphere to land.
Basically, I look at it like this. Let's say China shoots down a spy satellite. What is the cost to replace it? You have to pay for a new satellite and the launch costs to get it up there. If they can get this drone to do as I suggest then any drone which evades a shoot down attempt means you don't have to pay for a new satellite. The second benefit being, of course, the ability to return your satellites to upgrade.
Can I be wrong? Most certainly. Is it a feasible idea? Probably.
This is a drone that is designed to land. When a craft exits orbit and enters our atmosphere there have been three three styles of entries. There are those which burn up. There are those like the Soyuz, Dragon, and Apollo capsules. There was a space shuttle. The drone is obviously meant to reenter like the space shuttle in some fashion.
One thing that has been desirable has been to keep surveillance drones in flight for as long as possible. The longest shuttle mission was 17 days and 15 hours. This drone has been up there for a year before coming down.
The Chinese have demonstrated that they have the ability to shoot down satellites so a drone spy satellite that has good maneuverability in orbit would be a plus.
I think they're aiming to replace spy satellites with these drones and this was a test to see if a drone can stay up in space for a long duration and still arrive back on ground intact for repairs or to upgrade its system.

The first seven posts weren't that bad. I wasn't sure what to expect with post until I hit paragraph 8. Based on the article in question I wasn't sure if this post was going to try blaming Steam and I was greatly looking forward to the plot twist. Paragraph 8 ruined my expectations. This story could have been twisted into an anti-steam rant but alas the potential was not realized. I believe others can properly conclude the story.
Both terms are appropriate for different contexts. The appropriate term depends on which condition was applied first. The list of conditions is the inverse of which they occurred.
A zombie cyborg would be a cyborg who was dead but then brought back to life. An example would be that you have cybernetic legs and arms to replace the ones you lost in the war. Then you die in some sense but they put a processor in that is capable of keeping your arms, legs, and body going. You're not a zombie cyborg because you were brought back to life.
A cyborg zombie would be a zombie that had cybernetic elements. An example would be a corpse that was missing two legs is brought back to life. It's then given two cybernetic legs. It is now a cyborg zombie.
Now, let's say that the person was a pirate in real life before he lost any body parts. If he got cybernetic legs before dying and becoming a zombie he would be a zombie cyborg pirate. If he got the cybernetic legs after being raised as a zombie then he would be a cyborg zombie pirate.
That cat would have gone through a couple stages of feeding other entities.
You have the carrion feeders which will eat some of the meat. You have the flies which lay eggs in the carrion which hatch into maggots which eat their way out to become more disgusting flies. You have the bacteria, molds, and fungus which start to grow and further decompose the carrion until there's nothing left besides bones.
Most* animals lack the capacity to understand and, more importantly, to exercise the very notion of freedom. Animals make their decisions on emotions. Humans rationalize more often than rely on emotion. It is the ability that rise past the emotions and rationalize that forms the core of our capacity to exercise freedom. Freedom is not just freedom from the will of others but also the freedom of your own will. It is in the latter that lies the fact that most* animals can never be free entities. Behaving based on instincts and emotions is not exercising freedom, you're still chained by yourself. It's only be acting outside of our emotions and instincts as well as outside the ethical norms held by the majority that you can exercise freedom.
It is something that people like PETA fail to recognize. They truss themselves up in all this glorified language and attempt to be holier than though when I would almost bet that as you start to peel away the layers you'll find that their movement is based on nothing but emotion. In fact, their common methods of getting people to approve of their cause by invoking emotions.
* Most in this sense is being used to avoid an absolute statement rather than an indication that there are animals that have the capacity.
No, see. Another reason would have popped up for time traveling to be invented.
Had you gone back and destroyed homosapiens, some other creature would have filled the role. So instead of you being a human with two hands, and 11 fingers, you would be, for example, a dolphin and two legged sapient creatures that walked on land would be some aquatic fiction writer's dream. There would have been a dolphin Hitler who had attempted to wipe out the whales in some fucked up genocide.
All that means is that whomever time traveled failed to kill Hitler.
Of course, the world has a way of self correcting so even if we had killed Hitler we'd just be dealing with someone else.
No... to thoroughly get rid of Hitler was must first eliminate the conditions which lead to the Nazi rise in power. To do that it would be desirable to avoid the punitive nature of the Treaty of Versailles. Though to avoid that we really need to have avoided the first World War. Obviously, the best way to avoid that is too prevent Duke Ferdinand from being assassinated....
Frankly, I don't want to continue stepping backwards but suffice it to say, I think the best course of action is to go back far enough to find the first homo sapiens and brutally murder them all. That should prevent Hitler from creating the Holocaust.

Solution. Stop buying shit from brick and mortar stores.
Swiss army knife. Press through top corner, slice down. Press through other top corner. Slice down. Array package on side. press through top corner and slide down. Voila.
I didn't need to read the entire article. Just seeing that it was opposition to proposals by those four countries was sufficient enough grounds for me to oppose whatever it is that is being proposed.

Nor is Obama, unless by Republican you meant best President for Republicans.

So... the impression I got from your post....
Don't do business with Russians.
Bruce Willis can save Earth from destruction. He has a proven track record.
We must kidnap and freeze him so we can restore him whenever an apocalypse looms.

Well, we call a flock of crows a murder.
I think a flock of flying penises should be called a rape.
Excellent, so I can toss mice off the top of my building all day long and not have to worry about killing them.
Suck it PETA. Throwing these mice is intrinsic to testing the catacopter.

Cows are too stupid to live. Seriously. They have no other purpose than to feed humans.
Set 100 cows free and by the end of the first winter you'll have 0 free cows.
