There will be fire. What happens if China puts a city the size of NYC on the moon, and is the only nation to do so? Could they dominate all of terrestrial access to space including to Mars? If nuclear weapons go optical/beam (think star wars), then the moon returns to being a strategic high-ground. Don't go killing civilians.
The moon would be almost like a star of death if that happened. We would have to team up with Ewoks to take down the shielding protecting it and destroy the moon.
If you give people a reasonable alternative to piracy I'd like to believe they would take it. Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon between them scratch my TV needs, although, with further fragmentation of the streaming market, I'm seriously considering reviewing the situation. I can't pay for EVERY channel that fragments off and wants its own subscriber base.
When it comes to sport- I have to stream from grey-area sources. I'm sorry, I'm not paying for cable just to have sports- nor am I paying $60 a year just to watch Premier League games. Come out with a reasonable price alternative and I'll pay. Charge me $15 to watch online- and I will pay for your service- ask ridiculous amounts and I won't.
I'd really like Netflix to show sports but they're always claiming consumers don't want to be able to watch sports and turn away when consumers scream back "YES WE DO". I don't even care if there is a several hour delay of a live event. I can resist checking for updates on my phone that long.
Trump's offices were definitely not tapped unless a) There was some damning evidence he was doing something very bad or b) Multiple high-ranking people collaborated to break serious laws.
And if his offices WERE tapped Trump has now broken federal law by revealing that his offices were tapped and we have not one but two Presidents with serious crimes marring their histories.
If you have upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols then each character is one from a set of 80, so a random 8-character password from this set contains 50 bits of entropy (2^50 possible combinations). To store all such passwords in a rainbow table would require 2^54 bytes (8 petabytes) of storage. I doubt that most hackers have that much space.
I don't have data- but I'm willing to bet that passwords that require an upper case letter, a number and a symbol can be simplified 90% of the time.
I highly suspect that the upper case character is the first one in the password over 75% of the time. That the number and special character are the last two characters in the password 75% of the time- and that the other five characters in an 8 character password are in positions 2-6 and all lower case over 50% of the time.
You can limit quite a lot of possibly passwords if you only look for 26 possible combinations of first individual 6 characters, and about 10 possible combinations of last 2 individual characters each. That's still a lot of combinations- but a lot less than the 80 or so possible unique characters for each individual spot- and it wouldn't catch every password, but could probably crack a decent % of them.
You forgot to mention "gravity well" and "mining asteroids" and "space factories", Space Nutter. Give it up, the human race evolved to live on Earth. It ain't going anywhere.
We did evolve to live on this planet, and we shall be at a huge disadvantage trying to live outside the realms of this planet. The difficulties and challenges are real. It's going to be ridiculously expensive and difficult to get self sustaining colonies on entities outside the earth.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't attempt it though, or that we shouldn't try. If humanity were wiped out, there would be no bringing us back. Given that we might be the only intelligent life in the galaxy, it would be a shame for us to be snuffed out so quickly.
Hard to get off earth, but the alternative is for a short lived species.
That was made up by his political rivals to discredit him during an era when to have "black blood" would be scandalous. DNA tests done show that Harding did not have any detectible black ancestors. Also, Obama is only half black. Genetically he's more "white" than "black" (men get slightly more DNA from their mothers than their fathers, plus all their mitochondrial DNA).
Not that that really means anything. Race has always been more cultural than genetic though, and having any noticably darker skin makes society push you towards the "black" culture. From a genetic perspective, we still haven't had our first "mostly black" President. Given the current political climate, I suspect we may have to wait a few decades for that.
Every item is considered an add-on item on the Amazon.moon website. Total purchases of add-on items must equal or surpass $5,000,000 (Moon Dollars) for free shipping.
Everything involving space is so complex and expensive right now. Perhaps, the idea is to simplify it down to a one-click ordering service with the option to return it within 30 days if it is not as described on delivery.
I'm pretty sure you'll only get one lunar month to return your items to get a full refund.
I've had border guards not be sure if I was really me when I was driving a rental car across the border. Drug traffickers will sometimes use rental cars and my driver ID happened not to match the location where I had rented the car. I'm not offended by the fact that they double-checked it was me. With this guy, they verified his story with his employer and asked him a question or two. Sure, it wasn't perfect, but there are much bigger things to worry about. And we don't know the circumstances from CBP's POV. (Did he match a pattern of people claiming to be software engineers from nigeria who turned out to be here for criminal purposes, for example? I don't know, and neither does he.)
Clearly, however, he should have been treated respectfully and with an "I apologize for the delay but we needed to verify your identity. I hope you have a wonderful time." They need to maintain authority, but it's also important to keep the country welcoming.
I get stopped at the US Border every time I am asked to present meaningful identification (as in if I present a passport, I get scrutinized, if I am somewhere that a drivers license or birth certificate is sufficient, I am allowed to enter unhindered). The CBP has never indicated why I get stopped. I am sorted into a separate line and have to wait two to three times longer to be see the agent than others on the same vessel as myself. I'm a US citizen. Not once has CBP ever explained to me why this happens. They never apologize for the time they've wasted, and I have to intentionally add hours of layover on connecting flights to avoid missing a connection. This has been going on for over 10 years with no explanation. It did not start immediately after Sept 11th, but sometime in ~2005. I've only made trips to Western Europe since the early 2000's. I have no idea what the deal is, but it's incredibly frustrating.
We shouldn't let anyone into the country who can't write a procedure to tell if a Binary Search Tree is balanced, or doesn't know what an abstract class is.
I agree. In fact we should go a step further. We should start revoking US citizenship and deporting folks who cannot write the same. A much smarter nation will result.
If you deport everyone who can't balance a Binary Search Tree you're left with people who won't reproduce. The population will age and eventually no one will be around to take care of the elderly.
So did she really create the app, or did she just have the idea for someone else to do it? I seriously doubt she sat down and learned how to do this like the SJWs would have us believe.
Why, the "skills needed" aren't really that hard. I'm sure they're completely within the realm of possibility for a complete novice to learn and execute with a year of learning or less given proper motivation. Of the millions of old women in the world, it doesn't surprise me there are some who have learnt programming late in life.

A mars colony would never work. We all know men are from Mars and women are from venus. You need both to have a self-sustaining colony.

Trump's offices were definitely not tapped unless
a) There was some damning evidence he was doing something very bad
or
b) Multiple high-ranking people collaborated to break serious laws.
I think you meant to say "Trump's offices were probably tapped because". I think there is good chance that both a) and b) are true.
Quite true. A and B are definitely not mutually exclusive. That would be a very interesting situation.

I don't suppose you can produce this article where it says Donald Trump was wiretapped? I'd be curious to read the contents.
So to summarize:
Trump's offices were definitely not tapped unless
a) There was some damning evidence he was doing something very bad
or
b) Multiple high-ranking people collaborated to break serious laws.
And if his offices WERE tapped Trump has now broken federal law by revealing that his offices were tapped and we have not one but two Presidents with serious crimes marring their histories.
Senators would be protected for reasons of "national security".

South Africa is mostly tomato sauce -
I'm surprised anyone can live in a country made up mostly of tomato sauce.
Tomatoes ?? I hear you ask.
Well, of course, you can't eat Fries without Ketchup, can you ?
That's not true. As long as our astronauts are all over the age of 7 no-one is going to want ketchup anyway.
I already the book where a stranded guy grew potatos on Mars. The hard part is pooping enough to fertilise them all.
Of course there will be a POTUS... ... he may not be democratically elected though.
Warren Harding was also alleged to be black,
That was made up by his political rivals to discredit him during an era when to have "black blood" would be scandalous.
DNA tests done show that Harding did not have any detectible black ancestors. Also, Obama is only half black. Genetically he's more "white" than "black" (men get slightly more DNA from their mothers than their fathers, plus all their mitochondrial DNA).

From a genetic perspective, we still haven't had our first "mostly black" President. Given the current political climate, I suspect we may have to wait a few decades for that.
Had to ask... I'm "mostly" white too- but I always get stopped. My fault though is being born overseas and having a foreign-looking name.
I would be over the moon if someone gave it to me.
Every item is considered an add-on item on the Amazon.moon website. Total purchases of add-on items must equal or surpass $5,000,000 (Moon Dollars) for free shipping.
$1 Moon Dollar = $10 USD
I think the idea in this case is:
1) Make big claim.
2) Collect a lot of money from investors
3) In 2060 fulfill promise a little late.
Everything involving space is so complex and expensive right now. Perhaps, the idea is to simplify it down to a one-click ordering service with the option to return it within 30 days if it is not as described on delivery.

What colour is your skin?
This is completely justified.

replaceable battery, and a MicroSD slot.
Designers don't like replaceable battery, Google does not like MicroSD slot -> not gonna happen.
Of course they don't like MicroSD. Google wants everyone to store everything to Google Drive.
