It is quite possible to populate the moon. You are just an ignorant jerk who prefers to poo poo everything everyone else pushes for.
No air? Bring some up or make it there from the plentiful water in the poles No water? Bull shit, we have found enough water on the moon for a base No soil? What exactly is the moon made of than? No magnetosphere? So what? Build the habitats underground, and the food production areas in domes.
It benefits many things on Earth, and would provide more living space, and the ability to expand further into space, which benefits everyone here on Earth.
At that point you turn the sail. Sailboats don't stop when going near to direct into the wind; some sailboats can even come as close as 5deg off of directly at the wind. Think of it as a big sailboat, the only time it slows down is in that 10deg area directly towards the sun.
You do realize that there are tons of pay to ride turnpikes still around. The really funny thing about it is, every single one I can think of is an interstate too.
The Jersey Turnpike (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey_Turnpike) costs a bundle to drive on, and it is just a road that runs through New Jersey, it is not even like there are a ton or bridges on it.
I was very interested when I saw a statistic recently. The US pays the highest healthcare costs of any nation in the world. I think it was by something like 10x too, which is just insane. The Healthcare industry in the US is too big to fail...we need to get rid of it right now...
As far as Verizon, their land line service is wonderful, why do you call them big and bad? I love my symmetric FiOS 25/25, and have never experienced any issues with them, but that could be along the same lines as your situation, I have a massive selection of companies in my area, causing real competition.
I think you are misunderstanding him. He said he has no problem getting the channels that pay to be there, it is the ones he pays for, but does not watch he wants to get rid of. There should be a cable package that has local channels and all those "free" channels, that is practically free, but there is not.
That is awesome and shows a good sense of humor. I love the second pic, you have Vader standing off to the side a bit watching over the storm troopers work on the car (least appears that way...) That is funny to me:)
The agreement is the one they signed saying they would pay X for the rights to use a GSM chip. Not the RAND agreement between the patent holders directly. The agreement they signed includes a no sue clause, therefore when they sued, they became no longer licensed to use the GSM patents.
The quip about settling this with a Quake 3 game is another attempt to trivialise the dispute.
This is actually a rather common thing in the industry, it is considered a graceful way for the plaintiff to back out of a silly lawsuit. It has happened many times in the past in the gaming industry to allow everyone to save face. I can't find the story where they mention how common this is, but I believe they linked to a story where two aircraft manufacturers settled out of court with a game.
I would say personally that what differentiates a police state from the US is what happens when the violence is brought out in the public. In a police state, the cameraman/whoever posted it would be gone overnight. In the US there will be trials/discipline for the officers involved. People do illegal stuff, even police officers who should know better. When it is publicized or brought to the attention of the government, what they do is the difference.
Many times when incidents of police brutality are brought into the open, the police are disciplined (maybe not as much as we would like...but that is the courts). If we were in a police state, no one would care when these things would be brought up. That is a very big difference.
Perhaps how they lost their licensing was by breaking the terms of the agreement and suing Samsung in the first place. Not all terms of an agreement are financial, some of them are of the don't sue variety too.
RAND is an agreement that says "I won't sue you for using this technology, as long as you don't sue any of us" (the ones who invented the technology) This whole thing is because Apple sued first, they broke the RAND agreement, and are now getting smacked hard by it.
Except that the design was in use by Samsung well before Apple, and they are just continuing the design in their phones and tablets that they used in their TVs, Picture frames, Monitors, Etc. Apple wasn't using the design patent before Samsung, which is a requirement to sue on a design patent. Also, the RAND terms specifically have a "you sue me, I sue you" clause, which allows all RAND companies to sue the one who sued one of their members, Apple asked for this, and they will learn that they are new to the cell phone industry, and very very small.
Such as? Apple doesn't own the patents on GSM, Moto, Samsung, and many others own the patents. RAND was an agreement between those patent holders that they would not sue each other (as it would stifle the adoption of GSM) as long as the were not sued first. Apple broke the RAND agreement, and is now complaining that they are getting smacked down by the same agreement. The whole reason this hornet's nest is happening is that Apple sued Samsung, and over something so dead obvious, that it is pretty much a joke.

That chart needs a price column...
Exactly. We should have a "enter your own" mod option...

That is the exact graphic I was speaking of, thank you. Just awful that we spend that much for so little.
I have an old ISA 10BaseT card if you are serious...
Mount um on the wall :)

Totally offtopic, but please go to Dishnetwork.com, the bottom right box, and read the box...
Free HD for life ...
Free HD DVR*
* - DVR costs $6/mo
WTF, since when can you call something free if it costs $6 a mo?

That makes her a slut, not a whore.
Whores charge, sluts don't, this is the distinction between the words. :)

There goes all that Geometry I learned in school.

Are you sure about that? Mr Schrödinger called :)

Part of the licensing is a no-sue clause. So once Apple started suing everyone under the sun, they lost their non-discriminatory licensing.
Perhaps how they lost their licensing was by breaking the terms of the agreement and suing Samsung in the first place. Not all terms of an agreement are financial, some of them are of the don't sue variety too.
