So, the MP made a bunch of money, despite being a terrible movie. Leonard Nimoy didn't want to be stuck making bad Star Trek movies for years and years, so he demanded Spock be killed at the end of Wrath of Khan. So, they killed him.
However, since Wrath of Khan turned out to be a really, really good movie, he decided that he'd stick it out for another couple of movies, and they went back and filmed the mind meld with McCoy (after they had already officially wrapped up), to open it up for another sequel.
At least, that's how I remember it from the Wrath of Khan special features interview with him...
Meanwhile, Shatner had no idea this was going on, which seems to be a common theme - Shatner never knew what was going on. He only learned the purpose of the late re-shoot of the couple of scenes (And Nimoy doing the "Space - the final frontier" bit for the end) when the interviewer brought it up during the interviews for the Wrath of Khan DVD special features. He didn't realize that those things were done on purpose...
Security wise, it means little.
Each Windows user has his own private copy of the Linux environment. UIDs and GIDs are enforced in a standard Linux way, so no using the default user to create files owned by root in the virtual filesystem.
Outside of the Linux environment, everything appears to be owned by root, and files created are owned by root - the same as if you mounted a FAT32 volume under Linux, but gave users write access to the volume. However, there is still per-file and per-directory read/write permissions, so as a Linux user, you can still access your Windows user files (Since you have read/write access), but are still denied those privileges to the files of other Windows users.
A true "root" user only exists within that Linux environment, and only matters within the virtual FS provided by the Linux subsystem. Ultimately, everything is still governed by Windows' own security, and Linux subsystem and everything it does ultimately only has access that the Windows user has access to. There is no method for privilege escalation, either, barring any bugs in the Windows kernel components.
This is how UIDs are mapped:
Each windows user gets their own copy of Ubuntu installed, located in %LOCALAPPDATA%\lxss. Users exist entirely within the individual Ubuntu installs, so a Windows user can have multiple Linux users within his own virtual Linux filesystem. Files created outside of the Linux environment all have a UID and GID of 0, while the initial default user has a UID and GID of 1000. Only files created within that Windows Users's Ubuntu install have UIDs known to their own Linux install.
Of course, this is just how it looks to Linux programs. It is still ultimately limited by the Windows User's own individual permissions throughout the rest of the Windows system.
That's false. Anybody can install UWP apps (packages use the.appx extension), without having to enable developer mode or anything in settings. A warning pops up if the app is unsigned, which is the same with Win32 apps. Steam could use this, too. The only requirement is that they're installed the Windows way (Doing it manually requires invoking a powershell command, but Steam could do that in the background)
Hell, there's the App Installer app available through the Windows store that will install apps that way just by double clicking.
Whoops. Didn't mean to imply that it was, but I clearly did.
Yeah. The sun is about 71% hydrogen, 27% helium, 1% oxygen, and a smattering of a few other elements.
The energy is expressed as wavelength - higher energy photons have shorter wavelengths.
And, if it helps, shorter wavelengths = higher frequency, if you choose to describe it that way (Since, the frequency in Hz of light, including radio, is the distance light travels in a second divided by the wavelength).
No. We looked at the sun. Helium is something we can see, though, not with our eyes.
You see, beyond the basic blackbody radiation (Which is purely due to matter radiating heat), each atom glows at specific wavelengths - this happens when an electron moves to a lower energy state (Think: smaller orbit), and emits a photon at the energy level that corresponds to the difference. Every atom has its own set of wavelengths that it emits - this is called the emission spectrum, and if you stretch out the spectrum of a point of light, you can see bright spots that correspond to this emission spectrum.
Additionally, each atom has a set of wavelengths that it highly efficient at absorbing. These appear as darker spots when you spread out the spectrum of a star. These are called absorption spectrum, and they are unique to each element.
Analyzing the emission and absorption spectrum of the Sun showed that it was largely made up of a gas that hadn't been discovered, because there were strong emission and absorption lines that corresponded to an element we hadn't yet discovered. This gas was named "Helium", after the Greek word "Helios", meaning the sun.
A number of years later, knowing that there was strong evidence of its existence, chemists managed to isolate Helium in the lab, and ran tests on it to measure the properties of Helium's spectrum, and it matched to what we saw in the Sun.
Many of those exceptions to laws like workman's comp provide alternative methods of meeting the goals - for example, while Amish employers don't pay into Pennsylvania's workman's comp system (due to their beliefs on insurance and certain kinds of debt), an alternative is provided within the law that allows and requires an alternate system for employers and employees alike that might have religious objections to the standard system. The Amish are still required to meet the same obligations that the Workman's Comp system is designed to meet, only they are allowed to do it in a different manner.
Part of the reason for feeling sick during those shots during basic training is members of the armed forces get shots for things that most civilians don't get shots for at any age - smallpox, anthrax, and cholera, for example, with the cholera vaccine being known to cause people to feel sick for a short while afterwards. Your vaccine experience in basic training is absolutely not comparable to what children experience.
Windows tracks USB devices by serial number, so you can have settings for a specific device persist. However, device serial numbers are an optional part of the USB spec, and in the absence of serial numbers, it tracks devices by connection. This allows you to have multiple identical devices with different configuration settings. If it didn't track devices without serial numbers by connection, it would create issues when, say, the devices aren't plugged in in the same order, and the wrong settings get applied to the wrong device, or when the computer boots, the devices aren't necessarily enumerated in the same order each time, so the wrong settings would be applied to the wrong devices.
So, when you plug in a device that has been plugged into other ports, and Windows treats it as a new device, it is because it lacks a serial number. It is less than ideal, but the alternatives are worse.
These wouldn't be a very useful replacement for JWT. The JWT's 6.5m mirror is much larger than the NRO satellite's 2.4m mirror - giving it vastly superior light gathering capabilities and resolution. Even if interferometry were used with the pair, it only increases resolution, not light gathering capability. The NRO satellites are also wider angle, able to view an area 100x larger, making it good for survey work, but not planet hunting, and certainly not observing distant galaxies. They only view in the near infrared, as they lack hardware for cooling. JWT, on the other hand, can capture from long-visible to mid-infrared - that's what the cool looking sun shield is for, to have a mission length not limited by the amount of helium it can carry on board for cooling.
So, no, we won't be looking anywhere near as far back in time as JWT with these - however, they will be eventually used, but just not before 2020, and for a mission with zero overlap of JWT.
In a star like the Sun, Hydrogen burns into Helium, with Deuterium being a step along the proton-proton chain. When All the Hydrogen in the core is used up, the core contracts, and gets extremely hot. The layers outside of the core also contract, and a shell of hydrogen around the non-burning helium core begins to burn. The helium produced here sinks to the core, adding heat and mass. The added mass causes further contraction, and eventually the helium core starts burning, turning into carbon via the triple-alpha process.
Eventually, the helium runs out, the core contracts again, a hydrogen shell starts burning, helium sinks to a shell around the carbon core, the hydrogen shell stops burning, contracts, another hydrogen shell starts burning, producing helium, which sinks to the helium layer, which eventually gets hot enough to start burning, producing carbon, which sinks to the carbon core, heating it up and causing it to contract from the added mass, which heats it up more, eventually getting hot enough for the Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen cycle to begin. This is what happens to a main-sequence star after it leaves the main sequence. Large stars do this in repeated steps and repeated layers, all the way up to iron, though when iron forms, disaster happens.
During this repeated process of shell burning, the star will repeatedly shrink and contract over the scale of a few million years, losing mass in the process. For a star the mass of our Sun, the process will stop at Oxygen (I think). At this point, (and, once the various shells stop burning), the last of the outer layers float off into space, the core contracts, and fusion stops.
This is a white dwarf. No fusion goes on - it's just a hot ball of degenerate gas (In the case of our Sun, a hot ball of mostly Oxygen). At this point, there isn't much in the way of gravitational contraction, glowing only from black body radiation.
Just for fun, there are certain masses where this recurring balancing act of shell-core-shell-core burning doesn't work, and the star blows up - for example, when helium burning begins but there isn't enough mass external to the core to exert an inward pressure on the core, the helium core can blow itself apart.
Here in Sacramento, I saw somebody from the county water district using dousing rods while on the job. I'm not sure if he was looking for a pipe or what, and I was sadly too preoccupied to inquire with the water district to see if it's standard procedure, but, shit.
I felt bad for my county.
Pangea was the most recent one (Gondwana was a major piece of it, I think), and the one we know the most about. Super continents form and break apart on a roughly 250 - 300 million year cycle or so. I think Pangea was the fifth one?
I thought contract law made written agreements mandatory for anything over a certain value. I seem to remember my high school teacher saying that (at least in California) that anything over $200 REQUIRED the contract be on paper. Am I mistaken?
Of course, this particular suit was in Federal court, so that wouldn't apply.

The registry is the wrong way to do it. It's accessible via Group Policy.

At worst, it's illegal dumping.
It looks like a Gameboy, having the orignal case. It also plays Gameboy games. So, yes?

Why should he be worried? Innovation benefits everybody, no matter who does it!
