The Van allen belts are a direct result of Earth's magnetic fields. They are a torus of charged particles from solar winds etc. trapped by the magnetic field.
A pre-decimalisation ha'penny was about the size of a decimal 2p piece. Decimal 1/2p pieces were tiny and thin. And penny sweets were 1/2p then aswell.
I assume that you don't just mean in the US, the population of the US is only about 290,000,000.
Thing is, for you to have that standard of living, someone else has to have a poorer. Do you think that (if you earn $40,000 pa) you would be able to afford to eat at McDonalds if all their employees also earned $40K? (and all the farm workers, meat packers, bakers, ketchup factory employees etc.) So it is a zero sum game. For some people to win, others have to lose.
Hmmm. Tho' that doesn't always work. Remember the last French Presidential election? In the second round the advice was "Vote for the crook, not the nazi"
Jean-Marie Le Pen and Jacques Chirrac got through to the second round, largely because turnout was so low in the first. Lionel Jospin's supporters must have thought "I can just vote for him in the second round"
IANAL either, but I think if the corporation wasn't an entity then the officers (perhaps any employee) of the company could be sued as individuals. So it protects the people who work for the company, not consumers.
Some cars do run on this, it's sold as "autogas" by BP here in Britain. So here, a gas tank might really be a gas tank. It's quite a bit cheaper, but not all filling stations have it.
All BBC channels, Radio and Television, are funded by the Licence Fee, except for the World Service which is paid for by a grant from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and some of the BBC's other international channels. The logic that because some people cannot receive the channels, but are forced to pay the full fee, that only BBC1 and BBC2 are funded by the fee is false. My TV doesn't receive Teletext, but my license fee still partially pays for BBC Teletext. If I bought a Teletext TV, then I would be able to receive Teletext. If you don't have facilities to recieve Digital TV, you can't get the extra channels. Buy a digital receiver, and you can.
Sky's model is quite similar to the BBC's if you think about it. The only channels I want on Sky are Sky One, E4, and Paramount. But to get these I have to pay Sky GBP216 per year for a package containing many channels I don't want or watch. (ie Sky charge me GBP216 p.a. for 4 channels) So if a subscription channel plays crap, then people will bother to subscribe, because they don't have a choice if they want to get another channel in the same package.

Probably can't do that. A phone sold in France would have to have English, so that it could be bought by someone in the UK.
Jake's line was "I wish I knew how to quit you"
I always think that with vi.
Maybe God is a programmer. Code reuse is sure what I'd call an Intelligent Design.

The offence of Defacing a coin of the realm was removed with the Counterfeiting Act 1981.
It's now only illegal in the UK to create a counterfeit item of currency, not to damage or destroy a legitimate one.
