There is nothing to subpoena. This particular device does not store MAC addresses at all. When a Bluetooth device is detected, the first thing that is done is to pass the MAC through a one-way hash. The actual MAC address is immediately discarded and only the hashed value is stored.
Pollen is not a side effect. Bees forage for three primary things: nectar, pollen and sap. They make honey from the nectar and "bee bread" from the pollen. Pollen is their only source of protein. Without it they would die. They use sap to make propolis to seal up the hive and glue things in place.
There is indeed plenty in an urban environment. Heck suburban bees live in bee paradise. Year round forage, diverse sources, all that irrigation to keep things in bloom...
Well, this is a fake product that will never exist or work but a normal regular hive will throw off 60-70 pounds of honey a year. Some hives will do 100+ pounds. That's a lot of mead. I only keep one hive but I could easily keep 5 or 6 and get about 400 pounds of honey a year.
The influence and importance of Slashdot in those early to mid years really can't be over stated. Heck, I used to ask job applicants for their UID just to help me sort through all the resumes. Those that answered "What's Slashdot?" went to the bottom of the pile.;->
Don't bother. It's crap. The camera is horrid, the controls are sketchy, the save system is weird and incomplete and there are too many places where you miss a 1-pixle-wide jump or an item and have to go way back. Too bad as the art is wonderful.
It has nothing to do with a shock wave. The theory is that the detonation will heat the surface of the asteroid causing a thin layer to vaporize and move away from the body thus imparting a small thrust and altering the trajectory.
Am I the only person to have found the "difficulty" slider in the options? I just turned it down a bit. It makes for a WAY more enjoyable game. Now mudcrabs are easy to kill at level 16 along with most other basic monsters and you don't have carefully level only certain skills. You just run around the world completing quests and not worrying about leveling. I play on the PS3 so I can't install any mods.
I don't think so. If it flies anything like a real bat it will be very hard to shoot down. When I was young and dumb some buddies and I tried to shoot some bats with shotguns. We spent a good hour and a half and a few hundred rounds and never hit one. Bats don't fly in nice straight lines. The kind of flop and twitch around the sky in very erratic patterns. The also seemed to sense right when we were going to fire and would rapidly jink. To sum up, shooting bats is HARD.
Much like the beer of the good old days. Back when beer was made of only pure water, malted barley, hops & yeast... and dried up fish guts. Yep. Somehow somebody figured out that dried fish swim bladders would help clarify beer so they started tossing it in every batch. Not that far off from shark lung. Nowadays we use spun poly filters, works better and is easier on the fish.
This is a misdirection unrelated to the original proposition. Not all wars of extinction are about capturing land. In this case it would be about removing a perceived threat. There is no need to capture the land, just kill the people. I made no argument as to the sense of it, just that with sufficient motivation it is possible. Whereas your assertion was that it is impossible.
You have engaged in the fallacy of shifting meaning. Your original point was clearly refuted so now you want to change meaning and direction. This is considered poor form and generally is unpersuasive.
You cannot win a war against an enemy without a centralized structure. You certainly can win, we just choose not to. It is no longer morally acceptable to do what is required to "win" this kind of war. Let history be your guide here and you will find several examples of how entire civilizations and cultures have been thoroughly exterminated. You will also find several examples of less thorough genocide that ultimately rebounded upon the "winner". Just how long do you think it would take for a modern superpower to wipe out an entire small country? If we were sufficiently motivated we could neutron bomb all of Afghanistan. Of course I'm not suggesting we engage in genocide, just that your statement is historically false.
At 15 percent oxygen, it's safe for humans to enter. The lower oxygen content of the air is similar to being at an altitude of about 6,000 feet, Eickhorn said. He demonstrated with a lighter inside a sealed atrium Wagner has on display at Cebit. It won't light.
This makes no sense. I camp in the Sierra Mountains at about 7,700 feet. Lighters work just fine, as do campfires, propane stoves, lanterns etc...
I call BS. My wife is a zookepper and works with several kinds of goats. Goats STINK!! Sometimes I smell her when she walks in the door even though I'm upstairs at the other end of the house!
The un-named and unsourced "human rights experts" are incorrect as is the article you link to. The linked article is from September 26th, long before the bill was finalized.
Here is the relevant section directly from the act itself:
`Sec. 948c. Persons subject to military commissions
`Any alien unlawful enemy combatant is subject to trial by military commission under this chapter.
An alien is:
`(3) ALIEN- The term `alien' means a person who is not a citizen of the United States.
That is it. No interpretation needed. US citizens are simply not subject to these commissions. Period.
The rest of the information you provide is about Jose Padilla. This legislation does not and will not apply to Padilla. In fact the Padilla case was transferred to a court with full civilian control and oversight. He now has full rights to challenge his detention. Additionally it was the seemingly unfair treatment of Padilla and others that prompted this bill.
Note that I'm not attempting to support the aims of this bill, just pointing out the facts. The fact is that it does NOT apply to US citizens.
This is incorrect. You can only be classified as an "enemy combatant" or "illegal enemy combatant" if you are NOT a US citizen. This new law does NOT apply to US citizens.
M.A.D. is never out the window for superpowers. The system was designed with exactly this sort of scenario in mind. Most of the nuclear launch infrastructure is hardened and can survive a first strike. In your scenario country A would launch a "stealth" strike. About 5 minutes after detonation country B would launch a full counter strike. Neither country would "win".
We call people from the continent of Europe "Europeans".
We call people from the continent of Africa "Africans".
We call people from the continent of South America "South Americans".
We call people from the continent of North America "North Americans".
We call people from the country of Germany "Germans". They may be referred to as either "Europeans" OR "Germans"
We call people from the country of Columbia "Columbians". They may be referred to as either "South Americans" OR "Columbians"
We call people from the country of Canada "Canadians". They may be referred to as either "North Americans" OR "Canadians"
We call people from the country of The United States of America "Americans". They may be referred to as either "North Americans" OR "Americans"
There is no continent named "America", there is only North America, Central America and South America. There is only one Country named America. This really is not hard to figure out.
I've noticed something very similar recently. My wife and I are trying for our first child. Every female family member and close friends all say the same thing; "I knew the moment I was pregnant. I could feel it even before the test came out positive." There is a very small possibility that they could detect some slight change in hormone level or other biological indicator but the chances are very, very small. It is highly unlikely. So I was wondering how this is possible. Now that we have been trying for several months I see how. Every month my wife says "I really feel like I'm pregnant this time. My body feels different, I know I'm pregnant." Then it turns out she is not pregnant. As longs as she keeps saying this every month eventually she will be right and another occurrence of a mom spookily "knowing" as soon as she is pregnant will be recorded. Stupid.
I have always thought that the absolute best evidence against this is the complete lack of any plastic artifacts. Any civilization advanced enough to produce atomic weapons would have produced platic and other non-biodegradable waste. Think about all the waste that we produce that will take tens of millions of years to break down. How many times have you seen some article from an environmentalist railing against some waste product that will still be around millions of years from now. Think about how efficiently our civilization has distributed this waste around the world. It can be found in massive quantities in any populated area and in significant quantities even in the most remote parts of the world. Heck the summit of Everest is covered in it. If any such civilization existed we would have found their trash a looooooong time ago.
I think it depends on when you get there. I've seen customs nearly empty at certain times and packed full most of the time. International arrivals tend to bunch up into two groups, mid-morning and late afternoon. If you arrive during one of the rushes the lines can be out the door.
I've done a variant of this with customs as well. When you come back into the U.S. you must clear customs. This involves standing a HUGE line, usually for an hour or so. There are only 4 or 5 stations open at LAX normally. The trick is to bring a small plant back with you. When you get to customs you tell the guy you have a plant and aren't sure if it's allowed. They send you over to another guy who only handles these sorts of things and has no one in his line.. He looks up your plant and searches you bags. If the plant is allowed in(never happens) you keep it and walk right out. If the plant isn't allowed he takes it and you walk right out. Total time maybe 5 minutes. Works every time.

Its a completely arbitrary number. Matching up with the median number of fingers a human has doesn't make it a "logical number".
I think you mean the mode. It is highly unlikely the median is exactly 10.
Double incorrect. The shipping lanes in the strait are on the Oman side. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Strait_of_hormuz_full.jpg
The rest of the gulf... is pretty wide and new lanes can be followed.

4I own some mountain (ranch land) property in the only county in California that does not have a single stop light :)
What County would that be? I can't image that there isn't a traffic signal somewhere.
Don't bother. It's crap. The camera is horrid, the controls are sketchy, the save system is weird and incomplete and there are too many places where you miss a 1-pixle-wide jump or an item and have to go way back. Too bad as the art is wonderful.
