Mainly because, the Air Force, Navy and Army will continue to have satellites, and this will just add more. Take the air force for example. When the coast guard has to perform a search and rescue operation, do you think they call up the air force and ask to borrow a helicopter and a pilot? Do you think the Army does that? Navy? Marines? How about boats? Does everyone go to the Navy when they need a boat?
When the Army needs forward air cover, yes, they do indeed call the Navy for carrier based air support. If the Navy in turn needs strategic bombing, yes, they do indeed call the Air Force. The point here is that now if any of them need satellite coverage, they would indeed call the Space Force (or whatever they call it).
THIS. Why the hell aren't I seeing way more about the treaties prohibiting militarization of space!?!?!? Technically, I guess he hasn't said he was going to arm anything in space, and we already have military use of space through several agencies by means of GPS, imaging, etc, but then WTF is the point of this so called Space Force?
It's right there in the first sentence of the summary: "pulling space functions variously owned by the Air Force, Navy and other military branches into a single independent service"
This is the worst of Reagan's brean-dead mind boggling expenditures in the name of "conservatism?" and you traitors of no particular ideology eat it up because a traitor promised it? Lol. Mueller's keeping a promise also!
The Air Force has satellites, the Navy has satellites, the Army has satellites. Consolidating 3x management resources into one is mind boggling expensive, how exactly?
He could have just added an 's' to the domain and bought it for.99 cents.
I don't know if they still do but you used to go to cheap domain registration sites like GoDaddy and 'check domain availability', it would tell you whatever you searched for wasn't available, then within an hour you'd get an email offering to sell it to you for $1,000 or so.
T-Mo has for quite a while now been a lot more upfront about how the term "unlimited" includes a certain amount being your "prioritization point" after which you get throttled.
Imagine being an atheist in a Christian school. Now imagine the grades those teachers (who know you loathe them and the idiocy they're shoveling down your throat) will give you. The SAT/ACT is a good counterpoint to a terrible high school career, which is often not the fault of the student.
Perhaps an atheist at a Christian school should have the good sense not to sneer hate at the teachers' beliefs. This is like going to North Korea and protesting oppression in the street then crying about being arrested.
That makes perfect sense to me. They still have free speech. Just a little registration form and a small fee. Very similar to how the Constitutionally protected right to bear arms is handled in some US states. Registration and fees don't count as "shall not be infringed", right? That's what Hillary said, anyway.
If it was a small fee then it wouldn't be news. A year's income is not a small fee.
The Chinese city of Shenzhen is for all practical purposes one giant factory with different company names over different loading dock doors. But it's all the same conglomerate inside.
based on what they thought was a credible 911 call of an eyewitness
He wasn't even pretending to be a witness, which is only ever somewhat credible, in the fake call, he was pretending to be the guy who answered the door.
The new perks could make Whole Foods cheaper than conventional grocers
Is there a difference? The produce section of WF has little signs "conventionally grown in Mexico" on most of the veggies. There is a very, very small section of organic food.
The most common phrase on Slashdot is Correlation != Causation
A few years ago this was true but in the last year or so it's been a hard pitched battle between the homophobic rants vs the racist rants both of which are convinced that their anecdotal correlation is absolute proof of causation.
They're not subsidizing Amazon. They were turning a mild profit until they were forced to pre-pay pensions by law instead of acting like any other government or private entity.
Are you giving this as a complaint? Should the Post Office not fund their pension plans and go broke like any other government entity?
I live in a large city, and worked the polls yesterday. Not a single voter under 30 the entire day.
I can't remember the last election where I actually went to a polling place but I've voted in them all. Perhaps all these missing under-30's have discovered mail in ballots?

If you think equal refers to size, you haven't thought it through very well.

Odd. Life evolved here for billions of years with no need for space.
Tell that to the dinosaurs
If less than a year for a major OS release is no longer "recent" for you, consider cutting back on the LSD.
Many people feel unsafe in the dark. As soon as a street is dark they imagine the bushes are full of robbers and rapists.
The ultra hard shadows created by street lights make great places for robbers and rapists to hide in.

They used columns. It's a spreadsheet, not a spreadline.
Is that some kind of attempt to be funny? Epic fail since the column limit was 256 back when the row limit was 65K.
That makes perfect sense to me. They still have free speech. Just a little registration form and a small fee.

What did they do back when Excel could handle only ~65K rows?
Then you've never been to Asia. Much wait/server staff have been automated for about a decade or more.
I go to Asia regularly but have never seen an automated serving staff. Perhaps you mean just the islands off the southeast coast of Asia?
Plain white rice has very little nutritional value. Only if you leave the hull on and make it hard to chew does rice have decent nutrients.

You remember the name of the town, don't you?
No
Conservatives know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
If the price doesn't reflect the value then you're doing it wrong.

Youtube has no reason to have locations services. None.
In all fairness there's a long list of licensing reasons why for a good number of their content videos they do need to know your national location.

I'm a card-carrying republican, and I'm pissed about how my party is letting the local ISP screw me over. I hate it.
I'm pro net-neutrality. Stop f*ing with me.
I am a person, not a commodity. Stop buying me, selling me, and otherwise treating me like cattle, or I can find another party to work with.
If you were then you'd be happy the legislature has taken this up instead of a regulatory agency.
