No. No, they can't. And by corollary, they don't. They fly very fast, so they can take a picture of any given area, but only when it's on its path. If you want lots of pictures, you need lots of satellites. Moving satellites in orbit is expensive and not done terribly often. Drones are far far far cheaper than satellites, particularly for police. Also, there are no video cameras on satellites, only still pictures. So no, satellites can't track vehicles.
Aside from GPS satellites, there are no satellites capable of tracking vehicles and determining speed. Maybe you've watch Enemy of the State one too many times. That's not even how the military tracks vehicles in Afghanistan. They use drones, like the Predator.
You might find Lamarck's Signature interesting. They find gene sequences formed during one's lifetime on T-cells in introns on adult cells. Basically, retro-viruses are carrying them around the body, and occasionally to germ cells, and onto the next generation. It's evidence of a Lamarckian mechanism, albeit a small one. Lamarck isn't quite dead after all.
Well, to be fair, his sarcasm detector runs on Windows and it does tend to break often. If only there was a more stable OS on which his sarcasm detector could run.
So the overwhelmingly atheist scientists around the world are ignorant of science, and the American fundamentalist Christian young earth creationist intelligent designers are going to set them straight? Holy shit, is that backward.
I guess they mean that of those idea that catch on, the point was at 10%. More than 10% Americans "believe" in evolution, but I don't see it spreading like wildfire. There are plenty of ideas that have greater than 10% marketshare, but don't spread. But I guess of those ideas that are now majority, and were once minority or non-existent, the point where they spread was 10%. Even still, call me skeptical.
I know. Fucking ridiculous, right? My typewriter only takes 93 octane gasoline or it starts missing vowels like crazy. It would be so awesome if I could run it on diesel.
The reverse is not necessarily true. The remaining 66% may just have no idea what 3g is, what 4g is, what model their iPhone is to begin with, etc. All hot chicks are crazy, but not all crazy chicks are hot.
There's a element of truth to them all. "Black Man Given Worst Job in America," for example. True, from a certain perspective, and poignant commentary on race relations. From today's issue, "NASA Finds Evidence Of Humans On Moon," is 100% true and funny for several reasons. Another one, "Pakistani Intelligence Announces Its Full Cooperation With U.S. Forces During Upcoming Top Secret June 12 Drone Strike On Al-Qaeda At 5:23 A.M. Near Small Town Of Razmani In North Waziristan," is so close to true, it might as well be. I would argue that the Onion's reporting has been more insightful and better written than the best of Colbert and Stewart combined.
Dear AC Troll. You could say same thing about boots. Or water. Or bullets. But in reality, the military has fought long before modern communications devices. And when comms go down, which they do, the war doesn't stop. So get over yourself. You're another small cog on a big wheel.

Like the questionable task of protecting you and your right to say stupid things?

No, I think a fox and lox. But I would not eat it in a box.

I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

And let's hope they don't fly. I don't want robots in da skys.
Strange then the desktop that crashed under windows runs better with Linux. I had no idea I downloaded better hardware!
Exactly. Same problem with new born babies. Completely useless and always will be.
That's because Steve Jobs was partially inspired by them.
I read your title as an imperative to read it in a certain way, vice the past tense of read. I must say I was disappointed when I read your post.

Wake me when a computer can do something way more complicated, like beat a chessmaster. Hey, is it time to get up already?
Bingo. and to defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic. the sad part is we only have one soldier willing to uphold his oath.

becausr THAT will be a money maker.
Why don't you apply for it? I'm sure you can make a legitimate claim for it.
I seem to remember a sig indicating he is in fact a twitter sockpuppet. You're welcome.
What about Starktonium? One has to be this, right?
If you are, I'm missing it too. Screenlock, wipe on pants, unlock.
