Smells like a de facto presumption of guilt. Every resume is open to fraud, absent verification. So you verify.
Your employer could - I dunno - step up and interview the applicant and find out of they really know their stuff?
to find my car keys? Don't laugh - IIRC Hubble has the resolution of a dime at 200 miles, right? It orbits at about 350 miles out. The capability is certainly there.
Assuming you meant Apple, it's in fact because the reason Amazon put out the original one-trick-pony Kindle eReader was to sell digital versions of Amazon's then-biggest class of product: books. Makes perfect sense for their business model.
Apple made iPads in the model of "early bird gets the worm, second mouse gets the cheese". They sold 100M of them then refined it with more value like any other company would. You can now buy an iPad Mini all day / every day at Walmart for $249.
It's also a Kindle. Which means Amazon is smart for making sure all iPad owners can buy Kindle Editions, and Apple is smart for making sure they can buy apps on it.
... and "I'm Feeling Lucky" button on the dash. It's not this car per se I have issues with, it's the ability of large numbers of them to cope with all the casual drivers out there and by "casual" I mean the ones who eat cereal from a bowl with a spoon while in heavy traffic, the ones who make that split second last ditch decision to get off that exit and the person in front of you who finally panic-brakes when the other 10 cars ahead of them were paying attention to the obvious, gradual slowdown.
"how they thought there were canals on Mars as signs of an ancient civilization"
"They"? Mostly Percival Lowell and people who didn't know enough to refute him. And science fiction. It wasn't exactly a consensus view.
The typical muni approach is to mow it down - this actually promotes spread. Knotweed produces an amazing mono-floral honey. It compares to buckwheat honey and black sage honey. It gets a PR spin as "bamboo honey". Haven't had it as a veggie yet, but it gets some good reviews.
1. ST is not the bible. Abrams 1 gave the franchise what it needed - a swift kick. Abrams 2 was just not a very good film and over-reached. 2. TOS is a product of the culture of the 50s and 60s and was in some important ways hobbled by being so. It was always way too cerebral and libidinous to be a lot of fun. I'm not sure "utopia" was the reason it was the way it was - I suspect a lot of its porcelain tone and appearance was based on what they knew how to do in the 60s and what they were allowed to do on network TV. 3. As for SF being solid science - well, I think that went out the door with half the goodies they had. Much of the science in science fiction is indistinguishable from magic and only internally sensible. The details of the science are less important than "how will humans do if they get new abilities or experience based on different sci/tech". He didn't go that far off the rails.
I'm in a theatre for two hours, you need to entertain me, outsmart me and give me something to think about for a long time after.
Yup. He painted himself into a corner by releasing them as 4,5,6,1,2,3. But that need not be a problem. There are plenty of times when we know what's going to happen - such as with any movie based on a book - LOTR, Harry Potter, GoT... so what's a director / producer to do? MAKE US CARE. Use actors that we want to watch just because they are such great artists. He had decent actors at his disposal - he did well with Liam Neeson, less so with Ewan McGregor (see Life Less Ordinary or Trainspotting if you're not sure how good he can be.) He had Natalie Freaking Portman. This is the actress who chewed up the scenery in The Professional. She looked by Ep3 like she was the greenest member of a high school drama cast. I cared what happened to people in 4,5,6. What held me through 1,2,3 was the whizzy parts, the arc of the story, and the four-parallel story technique that was actually done so well you don't really notice it.
I think Abrams can salvage it and make it thrive. He may not follow the canon, but hey - it's story telling. Did you ever hear a story told the same way forever? We can all excuse The Kessel Run if it gives us Ep4, right? Same here. Heck, I'll spot him JarJar if he makes a movie that I want to turn right around in the lobby and watch again - like he did with Star Trek.

pun intended, given the amount of coffee consumed by college students, this is potentially a net win for SB.
Keep the adverts, redirect until everyone forgets what it used to be called.
Should be the phrase in Latin on their icon coin image.

Can we do it without Kara's inane commentary?

Right. Grammar + spelling x composition = scientific validity. Got it.
"how they thought there were canals on Mars as signs of an ancient civilization" "They"? Mostly Percival Lowell and people who didn't know enough to refute him. And science fiction. It wasn't exactly a consensus view.
"Space is empty, and mostly useless" Right, now if we could all just be rid of it and be able to take a ladder to the sun. Energy problem solved!
Or Drs. Hunter, Kimball, and Kaminsky, Dave.
Best *known* method for interstellar travel is Orion - anywhere from 3-10% of c - but in the real world it won't beat this solution to market.
Pity the poor DC bar and restaurant owners, though.
Some Boston residents would disagree, especially when the Habs were in town.
Newt keep up on events without streaming Fox News?
Sweet mother of pearl - that thing is exposed? That'll teach'em to hire the guys who made the GoT opening credits...
