A problem though: If you decide porn isn't real speech, then it becomes possible for opponents of 'real' speech to argue that their opponents arguments are pornographic and should be banned. For example, the old Comstock laws in the US forbade using the US post to send any information relating to the use of contraceptives, on the grounds that the devices themselves were obscene in nature, as was any information relating to their use, for it undermined the social order by allowing sex outside of marriage. Similarily, in some countries not only is homosexuality illegal, but arguing that it should be legal is also illegal - on the grounds that such arguments are so offensive as to be obscene.
Barrels would be a bad choice, because general-purpose parts will do it with some adaptations. A good bit of plumbing will do as a shotgun barrel. No rifling, obviously, but that's only an issue if you care about range.
You're the fifth person to notice that. Yes, I admit the mistake. The silliest part is that I am quite aware which is which: I just got the names mixed up. I think the mistake happened as I was briefly distracted by checking the spelling, unsure if it was 'arctic' or 'artic.'
The arctic is a continent. Under all that snow and ice you do eventually come to dirt. Heat it up enough, and you can get vegetation. The antarctic is quite different: It's just ice. Beneath the ice, water. Heat it up and you get a new ocean.
Rising oceans isn't going to make any new land farmable - that's salt water, remember. Nothing grows there except seaweed. But higher temperatures do mean more evaporation, which in turn means more precipitation - so there may well be increased rainfall, which could render some arid regions more useful.
The ER admissions codes are better known now. Before some doctor blabbed to the press and made them common knowledge: DFO: Drunk, fell over. DGP: Drunk, got punched.
Space isn't just a matter of 'up.' Cubesats generally go in LEO. The further you go, the more delta-V you need to get there, which means bigger vehicle to carry more fuel, and bigger rockets to get the fuel up.
The porn industry thrives on variety and niche. People usually end up seeing roughly the type of pornography they seek. If they like seeing women bound, subjegated and abused, that is what they get. If they like romance and cuddling, they get that too. If they want story, they can have it - and if they don't, they won't. Hah, with the right search terms I could ask the internet to bring me pictures involving My Little Pony, dubstep, machines of some type and a sandwich - and there's a good chance that exists, somewhere.
That depends how they define 'media.' It's a legal document, so common sense doesn't apply - you'd have to read it to work out how broad the ban is. It might be limited only to advertising, or it might include just about everything written, recorded or published.
Because... it's a cultural thing. It doesn't have to make sense! It's only mutilation if the other tribe does it. If we do the same, it's a perfectly respectable practice.
The Supremes can only rule if the defendant survives the attack to take the case to court. In the case of drone attacks, the victim would be dead, and thus unable to present his case. A very legally tidy solution.
It's like the national security letter approach: The only people who could have standing to go to court are those targeted by the letters, but it's illegal for the recipient of a letter to reveal the existence of said letter to the target. So it's effectively proof against court ruling.
Other effective dodge-the-court workarounds include classifying evidence to heavily the defendant is not permitted to see it, or simply keeping them from communicating at all with the outside world, even via lawyer. Guantanamo partially uses this approach: Some of the incarcerated are permitted legal representation, but not all. If they have no way to contact a court, they can't make legal trouble.
Pirates may have hastened the process, but even without them this would come eventually as a way for publishers to battle their other nemesis: Second-hand games. An effective DRM system can also be used to stop people from selling the games on cheap when they are done, which in turn means everyone pays retail rather than sensibly waiting a few months so they can buy that $60 for $10 in the used bin.

Got to have something to use for target practice.

I mixed the names up.
A mistake I realised later. But, too late to avoid embarassment.
The process of moving the tooth from jaw to mouth is rather painful, even in children - where the teeth are ready to come out anyway.
The 'decentralized, with the bare minimum of dictated control' part seriously limits profit-making possibility.
Actually it's talking about a broadcast medium, where any device within range can listen to the encoded signal.
Modem? They are trying to patent talking!
Because the developing tooth is far too fragile, I assume. It'd be squished the moment you chewed anything. Or poked it with your tongue.
Does that make the broken-and-disconnected circuits scar tissue?

Internet? Try TV advertising. The US is one of the few countries that still permits direct-to-consumer maketing of perscription drugs.

The lander part is cheap. Getting it there is not.
I've just tried. Not quite, but I got close: I found one image with all four criteria met, but it isn't porn. The sandwich is the difficult part.

And yet the countries where women are most unequal are also those which have heavy restrictions on pornography,
No.

"economy is entirely unpredictable and irrational in its turns from bust to boom to bust with no logical reason why"
Realism.
