You have to find your own WiFi; your house, Starbucks, McDonald's, etc. If you haven't connected to one, then it falls back to a cell tower. The assumption is the user has a wide variety of hotspots to which the phone is already set to auto connect.
So lets see. Government only has 4 solutions to every problem.
Whoa there, you forgot the 5th government solution that causes way more long term problems than the 4 you listed: 5. Provide it "free" via an entitlement program
They even say "No new technology developments are required to establish a human settlement on Mars", which is demonstrably false.
I supposed they can claim this on a semantic technicality; since no one has done it before either succeeding or failing with current technology, you can't really say it has been demostrated to be false. Their attempt, if they actually get off the ground, will be the demonstration.
that's because overall (at least in the USA) retirement benefits are a joke, if they exist at all
Pay and retirement for teachers vary state by state because teachers are employees of local governments. Perhaps the retirement packages in your state aren't great but in my state they sure are.
They created the videos so people would see them and instil fear
When someone bombs a mall or hijacks a plane, that's pretty clear they're trying to create a fear of shopping or travelling. But what is it that the isis team is trying to do with their beheading videos? What exactly are they trying to make us fearful of, getting our heads sawn off? I didn't really need a video to have that already high on my "do not attempt at home" list. Fear of being an aid worker in a combat zone? Anyone who is in Syria and the like as an aid worker has either accepted the risks or is hopelessly naive, so that can't really be it either. So, whatever reason they have, the actual result of showing these videos is to firmly illustrate what complete barbarians they are and to dissuade anyone who might be thinking to just live and let live with these people.
If one's bomb is going to be sitting around long enough to wait for people to read a note on it and call the bomb squad anyways, it's not a very effective bomb.
The second article claims a note was attached to it saying it was for an art project, so the person who did it is only guilty of assuming people can read calmly.
... and if girls didn't get in with equal numbers, that is ipso facto evidence of having been steered away for sexist reasons then or earlier in life
No, "ipso facto" cannot be "evidence". Ipso facto means a direct cause. What you should have put is: "Girls were ipso facto steered away for sexist reasons then or earlier in life as they didn't get in with equal numbers."
So non-strawman liberals are perfectly OK that boys and girls equally have an opportunity to register for the computer classes but mainly boys actually sign up?
Yes, what about the rest of the federal government's spending, of which military spending is not even a third. Social entitlement spending is what the vast bulk of your federal taxes and borrowing go towards, not aircraft carriers.
Let's see; every time a customer buys one of their products, the government gets a cut for sales tax. Before that customer could buy it, the government got a cut for personal income tax. The US based portion of the income will pay US corporate taxes and a lot other national governments will get their local corporate share. When whatever portion of the profits get paid out to shareholders, each shareholder will pay income tax. Just how much more tax do you want?
A gun that shoots a weighted net or even just secret service guys with bolas could completely mess up any hobby grade quad copter and not damage any nearby buildings.
Is their lab at the bottom of death valley or are they using a pressure cooker? Every time C vs F comes up, the C fans invariably point to C being vastly superior mainly because 100 C is water's boiling point.
Ah, see, he didn't say where there was unchecked industry. Ever see or visit industrial cities in China? Their EPA equivalent exists to take bribes for its management, not to stop anything.
Software runs on hardware. There's no programming an AI that runs along on its system and suddenly makes said system's capabilities "advance at an exponential rate". As for your own example; you've watched too many Stargate re-runs. There's no ascending with your current brain design.

As soon as the programmer is finished...
Oh boy, another case of testing in production.
It is not rational to assume that unknown technology means godlike abilities
Clarke's third law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinquishable from magic

These people will be collecting Social Security long before any rocket to Mars
I hope not. Most are not from the USA.

variable/function names that go like this (a, b, ...., a0, a1, a2, ....). But People should NEVER write code like that
When writing for the C-64 you HAD to write code like that.

It's probably industrial pollution from China
How many Londoners were killed by George Washington's legions of suicide bombers?

One of the items on the new horizons checklist is to see if Pluto has rings.
Neither article makes this mistake; it must be the summary submitter.

Has the Cold War really ramped back up to the point where that system needs a replacement?

Reasonable level of Federal debt. Hah! Yes, flying unicorns are much more likely.
