It's more scientifically useful to put a really good black & white camera onboard, and then include some filters, than to put a color camera.
IIRC, pretty much all the color images from previous landers are composites of multiple images with different filters, making a human-eye approximation.
The field can stay in the same place, but the field lines will have their vectors rotated 180 degrees. Left-hand rule & all.
Of course, then all you need to do is charge the hull positively instead of negatively. (But it might not be possible to swap that without reconfiguring some hardware, which tends to be a problem in orbit.)
I don't know about amount of activity, but the system is certainly broken. Being able to patent an invention before you even know for sure it works seems to defeat the whole purpose of encouraging research.
Indeed. I get all my "real facts" from government websites...
It depends what it is. If it's one of those moronic 'heh it's easy to fix the federal government by cutting x & y, and we'll have all the money we want to wage war forever' chain letters, a few links to the actual federal budget is a good STFU.
Course, if it's something more scientific in nature, you might have to go to a major research university website... Oh, wait, half of those are technically government websites, too. Hmm.
Society is encumbering the ideas. Their paper isn't magic, it gets its meaning from the legal system.
This is true, but the system in place is one that a lot of people feel is necessary to some extent. For the basement developer who comes up with an idea and makes a prototype working weekends in his home workshop, getting a patent for something useful is the end result of years of hard work. But getting a patent for 4 hours of sitting around brainstorming, and coming up with an idea that may not even be possible seems to be a definite abuse of the system.
So if each person has 200 people that their death will directly affect, and some disease has a 1 in 200 chance of killing people, how many people will be affected by said disease?
The more interesting thing about Galatians 5:19 is that it's actually talking about sex outside of marriage. So if you have the correct religious affliation (Episcopalian), that doesn't even apply.
Just as we Ignored the words and actions of Germany's socialists until it was too late.
You do know that just because somebody puts a word in their party label doesn't mean it's true, right?
(Socialists start as government bureaucrats, take over the corporate economy, and generally screw it up. Fascists start as corporate board members, take over the government apparatus, and generally screw it up.)
If I've understood the tactical nuclear bunker bombs correctly, they actually won't explode until significantly under the surface. Not to say there won't be fallout, but it would be less than a normal bomb of the same yield.
That being said, I really, really hope that nobody seriously uses nuclear weapons to enforce a nuclear non-proliferation treaty. The hypocrisy of that action should be apparent to even the most partisan neoconservative around.
Is this the same as Texans taking land from Mexico? Was the land "owned" by the Mexicans, the Spanish, the Native Americans? Whose land? Land is just land. Did the Palestinians always own it? Surely they just stole it from someone else.
But all that is in the past... post-Hawaii, people aren't allowed to just take land they want, unless the UN says it's okay.
To be fair (and slightly more serious), giving the land to the Jews is much like giving up Mexico City to anyone with a legitimate claim to Aztec blood - sure, it's gone through a dozen other hands first, but it was 'theirs' (in as much anything can be owned by an ethnic group) to begin with.
It also doesn't help that, in America, any criticism of Israeli policy is anti-semitism... Which means most of my in-laws are apparently self-hating Jews...
How about replacing 'American' with 'Constitutional'?
And, yes, I know the Supreme Court upheld the right of the police to have such roadblocks. But considering a lot of their decision in the last few decades, I start to wonder if they are using an abridged copy...
After all, if I really just wanted explosions, I'd play GTA & stack about thirty cars on top of each other at Industrial & Jackhammer and see if I can land one on the roof with a grenade.

Here. The blue ellipse was the intended landing zone, the red the actual, and the green box was... umm... a Martian football field? I dunno.

Gambling is from the devil... string him up, boys.
Everybody doing it gets a small payout, for a tiny risk of a huge bill. I like those odds a lot better than Powerball...

Thanks for that mental image. Now the zombie apocalypse doesn't sound as fun.
Do you know how hard it is to do a ride-by with a lever-action rifle?
You insensitive clod!
Driving over them is a better choice.

Knowing that, I'll go make some PCBs in my garage and start burning them in my backyard.

My peronsal favorite.
If I had some of the cars Tony Stark had in his garage, I definitely wouldn't be driving the Audi every single day.
