It is apparent that you didn't RTFA. (Yes, I know this is Slashdot, but you didn't even skim it)
These nukes were enroute to be decommissioned. As in destroyed. The problem wasn't that they were on the wing. The problem was that someone didn't remove the warheads from them first. This was not about dusting off the weapons, this is about dusting the weapons.
I think the key to your post is that the store has a right to detain anyone that they suspect of shoplifting long enough for the police to get there. In this instance, the store made no effort to contact the police, therefore was unlawfully detaining the individual in question, which is why the individual called the police. The police officer refused to hold up the individual's constitutional right (unreasonable search and seizure), and even went as far as further violating the individual's rights. Remember, that bag is yours as soon as you pay for it, and the store loses all rights in the matter, unless you sign it away (CostCo.)
Now, with that said, the individual needs to realize that this day should not have been about him, and allowed the illegal search of his bags, for his sibling's sake.
You'll still need a pilot's license and you'll still need much of the same clearance as a plane needs. Do you really want untrained traffic flying over your house? I know I don't. Do you want the morning accident report to be "there's an accident at such and such coordinates, sucks to be under that one?" How about the kids "showing off" their flying skills? I really don't want this. How about the noise pollution of all those engines keeping a "car" aloft? What about the emissions? How many gallons per mile does it use?
Flying cars are a nice fantasy, but let's leave them in the realm of that, and require a serious amount of training to really get in the air, regardless of how easy it is. BTW, I am a fan of more people getting their pilot's license, but I'm not a fan of using it for your commute.
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
You do realize that the Soldier's Oath is first to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. This statement is the first in the oath, and before the bit about following the President's orders.
However, robots do not take oaths. Robots do not have morals. Robots don't care whether the individual lying on the ground is an enemy of the state or a citizen of the state.
I have a feeling that we are seeing the soldier for the next American Revolution, and it's not pretty.
There are situations where fear itself is a problem. Our intellect tells us that we should fight through some fears, but past experiences hinder us from doing so. I would imagine that our ability to reason could still stop us. If this would allow people to "unlearn" their natural fears in situations where it no longer makes sense, it would be very good for the advancement of humanity.
It's common in shops that use external hard drives on Macs and Windows to format them as large fat32. That way both OSes can read and write to them, since NTFS is read only on Mac OS X.
I believe in the podcast for 'Maelstrom' that says that it is the transition from the second to the third act of the story. It was rather clear that he is following a three act story, especially once they played the cliffhanger at the end of the season. I expected this, and am very happy that they are doing this, rather than ruining the show in endless seasons. Just think, it'll be a show the jumps the shark five minutes after the final credits.
I'll agree with you there. However, my original point stands. At least with 18, there will be more people more mature than 16, 15, 14, or younger. It's all about numbers, and the government has to draw the line somewhere. That somewhere happens to be where human males are at their prime fitness and agility, allowing us to march further and carry more ammo than a similar 16 or 24 year old.
You are actually represented. And you are guaranteed the ability to vote after you turn 18*. If you are mature enough to vote, which you may or may not be. (I may or may not be, for that matter, but 18 at least guarantees a percentage is mature enough.) Now imagine if all you classmates, with their celebrity loving subculture, had the same right to vote. Imagine what would happen if Madonna (Paris Hilton is too young) got into the White House.
That's why there is an 18 year waiting limit on voting.
*Offer good in the USA. Offer is dependent on registration. Offer is also dependent on not being a felon.
Your second sentence is the key, especially "...credentials should not matter as much as the accuracy of your statements."
If you are going to list your credentials (which you don't have to), you should make damn sure that you are accurate. If not, why should I trust any statement you make?
Well, you could upgrade the motherboard($145). Of course, this will require a new processor($177), graphics card($99), and RAM($90). Since you now have bluetooth, you may want to get a new keyboard ($110)and mouse($32). Also, you may feel the limitations of a 486 era hard drive($59) (if the mobo even supports the old one), so you probably want to upgrade it as well. My guess is that you'll want to upgrade your monitor as well ($149), because a CRT just doesn't cut it anymore.
$145 $177 $ 99 $ 90 $110 $ 32 $ 59 $149 total $961 Add the cost of OEM Vista - $119
So, what did you get with your "upgrades"? A new computer in an old case for $1080. And you may need new fans and power supply as well.

Back before Wireless Access Points, I would plug and unplug constantly without issue.
As for repairability, It's easy - have a really short extender plugged in and flush with the armrest. Now, if some kid shoves a pencil in the port and mashes it up, all it takes is a removal and replacement of the extender.

No, that's only if you mix this article with a previous article.
Are they sure that a janitor didn't accidentally throw the zip drive away when they were cleaning up the other useless trash left by students?

If only we could fire them in a way they could not reapply.
We don't, but it would be nice to hear Apple give permission anyway, as it would remove the fear of Apple breaking these apps in the future.
You're one of the lucky ones then. Talk to a gambling addict, most define their addiction to have started with a win.

In ten years, you will think differently.

You know you can get the Rino, which has _both_ a GPS and a radio.
I would advise all F-22 pilots get one. It even has turn-by-turn directions.
So what you're saying is that our government should demolish the bridges, so that the terrorists don't have any place to plant the bombs?
Nah, the 50th state. We don't accept Texas anymore.
