$700 is about half the current tuition per semester of the cheapest community colleges in the US (most of them in Mississippi). No wonder the US is rapidly falling behind the rest of the world.
We may one day have the science to punch a hole in the universe and go elsewhere. To do the same with a god you need to epic level handbook and a munchkin like devotion to being a rules-lawyer.
Because its orbital properties have been very well studied due to the potential if civilization altering impact. We know its approximate volume and mass. this gives us a fairly good clue about its composition because a mostly metal asteroid would be much more dense.
I am no fan of the guy. but damn. Why the hate? Why does he deserve to have his organs fail and die a painful death at a fairly young age (or buy someones organs)?
Somewhere between 1 meter and big enough that the moon can coalesce from the debris blasted out of the hole. Depending on the size of the bar and its speed.
I am pretty sure that 2 tons of steel traveling at 70 miles an hour is entirely capable of alienating you from your right to life. Same goes for a half ounce of lead at 900 miles an hour.
The founding fathers believed that the average man most likely wasn't going to have the intelligence, education or inclination to be informed on every matter of national policy and opted for a representative government instead of a more direct democracy. They were right. However the problem is that instead of voting for the best possible representatives, we vote for an arbitrary bundle of occasionally self contradictory policies on the party agenda. In practice our system provides the worst aspects of both direct democracy and representative democracy.
I know a guy that campaigns for the Unity party. His basic platform is that all 3rd parties join forces to provide a unified front against the democrats and republicans. He doesn't like it when I ask how the American Constitution party (the party that McGovern split off to fight integration and minority rights) would get along with the Black Panthers and vice versa.
A standard that says how things are done is not a standard. It is merely documentation.
A standard sets a standard, an expectation of behavior. If you do not meet that expectation, you are not compliant with the standard. Period.
You can not have a standard that contradicts itself because then, nothing could ever actually implement it. This is one problem with the HTML5 standard, it is unimplementable due to self contradiction. This problem is made worse because now even theoretically compliant browsers will eventually loose compatibility over time as the standard drifts.
XHTML2 not perfect, but it was far superior. I put a lot of effort in preparing for it. Sunk hundreds and possibly thousands of hours developing tools for working with it. and it all came crashing down in the end when W3C made the mistake of abandoning it.
Math has advanced slightly since Euclids. A point does have a hard and fast definition. It is a a location in space that can be defined exclusively by its coordinates. It has no dimension and therefore no surface and no volume.
Correct, the conspiracy, accomplice and incitation laws do this in addition to the generic fillers like resisting arrest, failure to comply with a lawful order, interfering with a police investigation, public disturbance, etc.
Ah, mine is the 3.6L, RWD, short wheelbase, single cab. Its not a lot of truck, but its enough for me (quadcab can wait till I need to tote kids around regularly). So that probably explains most of that mileage difference.
Trucks don't rent for $30. If I was allowed to own a Hi-Jet mini-truck, I could have a truck that gets 60 to 90 miles to the gallon and I could still use it for all my daily driving. In the meantime I drive a truck that gets about average gas mileage compared to a passenger car and I don't have to spend extra money any time I need to move something.
I find my (small) truck to be extremely useful. I find cause to move stuff at least once a month. I was originally planning on getting a Hi-Jet mini-truck, but its not allowed to be imported with the full 4-5 gears and can not be licensed in some states and in others it isn't allowed on the highway. Settled for the smallest Dakota instead.
I was watching tv that day. I knew there was a shuttle launch and I was watching that instead of cartoons because I wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up. This is one of the only memories that I still have from my childhood.

Oh, yes. Some people are certainly calling it cyber terrorism.

... The Julia set and fractals are math, pure math.

You must have seen my little sisters profile, she will kill me if she know I was joking about her.
She keeps telling me about how I can meet a nice girl there after breaking up with my whore ex.
Right after she tells me about all the dirty old men, halfwits and creeps she has to filter through.

I know several women who will give out personal information to get free beer.

Don't forget, it also needs facebook, angry birds and pr0n.

32 transactions a second... wow. Impressive.
I am only required to be able to support 60 thousand simultaneous transactions in the software I develop.
considering that av software needs constant updates to remain competitive? I don't think they can go the full hardware optimized route.

Mine is typically in the high 20s, mid 20s if I drive aggressively. Perhaps there was something wrong with yours?

No. Not an astronaut. I still appreciate astronomy and physics and have written some tangentially related software for the USAF, but that is about it.
I was interested in XHTML2. Hell, I put down at least 30k lines of code for XHTML2 compatible development tools before the spec was canceled.
