Except for the very small legal issue that until you are proven guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law, you are in fact innocent.
What this bill boils down to, is that a group wants a special privelege to defend itself against a crime that has technically not occurred. They're asking for the ability to act as an arm of the judicial system, wherein they can determine whether a crime has been committed and determine the proper remedy, and then become an agent of the executive, and actually dole out the punishment.
Well, the "winner take all" system of election we use makes it very difficult for new parties to make inroads. Whichever individual candidate gets the most votes wins the seat, end of discussion - there's very little motivation to be in a small party, because you can't muster the resources to capture the majority vote for a given seat, and will likely never hold an office.
In political systems where each party gets a number of seats equal to its percentage of votes, there are generally quite a few political parties. There is a good reason to be in a small party, because even if you don't get too may votes, you'll still have a good shot at getting into the political body. There is, of course, a catch to this. I'll vastly oversimplify it for the sake of demonstration.
Imagine that there are 5 political parties, two liberal, two conservative, and "The Sell Everything to A Major Corporation Party (SEMC)". Now, the first four parties, being relatively rational political entities, garner the majority of the votes...about 98%, evenly divided. The last 2% is taken by SEMC. Now, any time a borderline issue comes up where the major parties come up close to even on a vote, guess who decides - that's right, that tiny little 2% party.
Is this worse than a system where the only two (de facto) parties are at the mercy of corporate spending for campaign contribution? Probably not - but it's not perfect either.
I have a couple of questions regarding this. My understanding of gravity was that the presence of mass in space causes a curvature of space. Wouldn't that mean that both objects are actually travelling in a straight line, but seem to curve around each other from an outside frame of reference? Someone please clear this up for me, I never could wrap my brain around this...
For me, maximizing my time in the "Zone" is dependant on one major thing - physical fitness. The more energy I have, the longer I can work - and work well.
I have a fairly easy system for achieving this.
1.) I get up every morning at 5:00am and run 3-5 miles, 2.) Shower (very important step, do not omit.) 3.) Eat a good breafast (generally a piece of fresh fruit and some "healthy" cereal.) 4.) Eat a healthy lunch. 5.) Get out of the office during lunch, for a mental break.
I avoid artificial stimulants at all costs.
I find that I generally have much more productive time than the other people in my team, and don't spend 10 minutes on the hour servicing a coffee habit. My mind is clear all day. I don't suffer from the afternoon slowdown.
Granted, I do fall asleep fairly early in the evening (around 10:00pm) but I provide more work to my employer, on a time schedule that is convenient to him.
Think about that when the next round of layoffs begin.
Here's a vastly oversimplified reason you could probably keep it on your desk:
If you have enough energy to raise one molecule of acetone by 1,000,000 centigrade degrees, you also only have enough energy to raise 1,000,000 molecules of acetone by 1 centigrade degree.
That one molecule would be spectacularly hot, but the amount of energy in relation to the mass of surrounding fluid (assuming a couple of liters of fluid) is fairly low. The problem would be if you get the rate of fusion too high, and raise the whole mass 1,000,000 centigrade degrees.
For human travelers the greatest advantage of M2P2 might not be steady acceleration or fuel efficiency, but rather its impressive safety features. Just as the Earth's magnetosphere protects us from solar radiation, an M2P2 bubble
could shield spacefarers from cosmic rays and solar flares.
The inability to move varied types of troops/armor quickly is endemic to the divisional organization of the Army. The US Marine MAGTF (Marine Air-Ground Task Force) organization brings a fully functional fighting force with artillery, infantry, armor, aircraft, corpsmen, etc the instant Marines make landfall.
That's why we're always just a day or so from having fully supported Grunts hooking and jabbing in country, no matter where the hellhole. The Army is always caught trying to have 3-4 different division sized units organize a deployable force. Without a major change in organizational structure, the Army just isn't able to support its elite units in fast, furious, unexpected battles.
I would say it's more likely that our tools kill faster than our instincts can stop us.
Consider two morons in a bar fist-fighting over some girl. I would call that a pretty classic case of mating/dominance behaviour. It's pretty unlikely that one of the two men will be beaten to death with bare hands. (Yes, it happens, but there's also the occasional death in the animal world during "ritual" combat.)
Add tool use to this same situation. A man is far more likely to die when struck with a beer bottle, pool stick, knife or bullet.
To top it off, modern offset printing (which allows for those 6-chroma images to be printed) isn't that old either. Less than a century, apparently. Although, admittedly, Lithography has been around since the mid-to-late 1800's. Still not the hundreds of years you're claiming. I'd hardly equate the original printing press made from a grape press with modern color image reproduction.
Offset Printing
At the beginning of the 20th century lithography, was replaced by the offset printing process. Since its invention in 1904 by the American Wiliam Rubel, offset printing has been a purely rotary printing method. After wetting and inking, the printing-plate cylinder transfers the ink to a cylinder covered with a rubber blanket. The rubber, in turn, transfers the ink to the printing blanket, guided between rubber and counter-pressure cylinders.
remember time tables. you're thinking computers, printing presses have been around for over a hundreds of years, not 10's
and offset pre-production (where your color separations are made) has been totally computerized since the late eighties. Printing advances since then have come at a much more rapid pace. Programming a computer to work in a 6-chroma color space six or seven years ago is hardly a "new" feat in terms of computing advancements.
Pantone Hexachrome is a six-color ultra high-fidelity process for enhanced color reproduction.
Introduced in 1995, Hexachrome includes a new ink set, separations, proofing, and color selector. The proprietary ink set developed by Pantone consists of enhanced versions of the subtractive primaries yellow, magenta, and cyan, along with black, orange, and green inks.
That would depend on whether you're talking about the time during which there was no competition for the Genesis, or at end of cycle for 16-bit systems.
1993 was the year that Sega's stronghold on the market began to slip for the first time since its introduction. Third-party support for the SNES was finally coming up to speed, and some truly remarkable games were starting to be released for it. Sega introduced the Sega CD late in the year, and despite all the hype that had been built up over the last two years, the Sega CD sold very poorly, partially due to its $200+ initial asking price. The Sega CD software was also extremely disappointing. While there were a few gems, most of the CDs were nothing more than straight ports of the cartridge versions with Redbook CD audio. With only the Sega CD to carry them through the Christmas season, Nintendo came out on top in 1993.
The problem with that is that you have to organise RATIONALLY through the government, and the government is made up of the same idiots that can't keep a pure capitalism on track.
So what you're saying, Mr. Katz, is that someone who is smart enough to FIND a news source that's running something other than the CNN news feed wouldn't be smart enough to try to verify its accuracy. I don't think I agree with that.
and the stinger also has a max range of 8km. If you fire it from sea level, it could only get to 27-28 thousand feet (if you fire it straight up - but this is beyond the 10,000 foot flight ceiling) Basically this weapon is for low-altitude aircraft.
On a side note, does anyone know why the US military seems to give altitude in feet and everything else in meters?

of course, "All generalizations are bad." is probably a joke, because it is itself a generalization. But I digress...

Not a whole lot of due process going on here.
