As much as I'd like to see someone other than Obama being our president, he is a Natural born US citizen, Hawaii is a state and was a state when he was born so the other technicalities don't apply. McCain on the other hand did have to do the technicality dance because Arizona was a territory not a state when he was born.
What people forget is that that money is spent, spent on wages for military and civilian wages, contracted to corporations that pay dividends on the profits to real people. The R and D doesn't just go away, watch TV we'll have spoiled ten year old asking for civilized pac-bots an UAV's this Christmas.
That's not going to happen, Obama is already planning an end run around the constitution by establishing a Civilian National Security Force
He plans to double the Peace Corps' budget by 2011, and expand AmeriCorps, USA Freedom Corps, VISTA, YouthBuild Program, and the Senior Corps. Plus, he proposes to form a Classroom Corps, Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, Veterans Corps, Homeland Security Corps, Global Energy Corps, and a Green Jobs Corps. Here a corps - there a corps - everywhere a corps corps. Obama's Civilian National Security Force
That sounds like a lot of poorly trained "troops" on the ground not restrained by the typical constitutional limits on authority and funding that the Army is under.
Expand Service-Learning in Our Nation's Schools: Obama and Biden will set a goal that all middle and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year. They will develop national guidelines for service- learning and will give schools better tools both to develop programs and to document student experience. Green Job Corps: Obama and Biden will create an energy-focused youth jobs program to provide disadvantaged youth with service opportunities weatherizing buildings and getting practical experience in fast-growing career fields. Barack Obama and Joe Biden's Plan for Universal Voluntary Public Service
So basically once anyone wanting a decent education will have to become one of Obama's brown shirts and submit to indoctrination the powers that be deem necessary. The eventual NASA cuts will just be part of the "throw the baby out with the bathwater" approach typical of radical anti-estabishmentarians.
well if you file a ridiculous patent and it gets the bum's rush at the USPTO it just makes it that much more difficult for someone to file a patent to use against one of your business methods.
just assume that dark mater exists in a way that is only able to interact with matter and antimatter through gravity and you'll be close enough for a layman.
The assumption would be that tachyons travel faster than the speed of light and lose energy by going fasater so they would need infinite energy to decelerate to slower than the speed of light. The real problem is crossing the barrier with mass; not being on one side or the other. If tachyonic matter really existed it's interactions should produce photons which would be visible to us. and we haven't seemed to have seen any so far.
In a universe where as many as 18 dimensions may exist and neutrino oscillate in flavor as the move, I'll bet there are still some deep questions about movement and gravity that'll earn some team a Nobel or two.
Astronomers are probably the oldest priesthood, and many astronomers financed their observations by casting horoscopes. A couple millennium ago correctly predicting a lunar or solar eclipse would make you a demigod in the eyes of the common man.
Scientific theories about thing in normal world scales tend to be pretty comfortable psychologically, move into cosmological or quantum scales and things can get goofy real quick, I suspect that truly understanding Quantum Mechanics is a sign of psychosis.
what is an electron? Long Answer; It's a thingy with a specific rest mass, a specific charge, a specific spin and when you smack it really hard it breaks into reasonable predictable pieces that don't look much like the original thingy called an electron. Short Answer; We don't have a clue but we delude ourselves into thinking we know more than we do.
What other KNOWN way is there to produce ELECTROmagnetic radiation, except with electrons? What other way is there to produce a magnetic field besides and electric current?
How about spinning atomic nucleus, alpha radiation or proton beams? In solid state electronics holes are common carriers of electromagnetic force, the holes are actually missing electrons so they are essentially nothing! Just about anything involving gamma ray photons have more energy than can be produce by electron/positrons.
Did TFA just royally f**k up its math or something?
The Author's assume that a reader of the article would be scientifically astute enough to realize that were referring to the number of detections over a spectrum of energies; in your case they were overly optimistic.
Hello!? This is a 30+-year-old woman lying about her identity in order to start a romantic relationship with a 13-year-old girl!
I don't know but the picture of Lori Drew at the BBC looked pretty Bull Dyke, I'd assume that with the charges against her, her attorney had better get her wearing more feminine attire or she's going to find out how fickle juries can be.
There are many things the police and military personal can do legally, and many more they can get away with, that I could not.
Actually the reverse is often truer, frequently in civil disturbance situations National Guardsman have to execute a citizens arrest because they have no arrest powers as Guardsmen over civilians. Often an ideal situation is to have an embedded TV crew, nothing like having a TV camera stripping anonymity to keep everyone behaving properly.
There probably will not be that big a wad of cash anyways, Drew had to close her advertising business due to the community shunning her and anyone foolish enough to advertise with her company.
I got the impression she was a domineering helicopter mom constantly interfering in her daughter's life from the wired article. Her daughter got into a "fight" with Megan and it sounded like it was over and forgotten and/or forgiven but her Mom couldn't let it go. In most states the Mom might have easily been convicted of stalking, involuntary manslaughter, and conspiracy which would easily put her into 3 time loser category for an extra 5 years as well. Pathetic isn't the word I would chose, predatory is.

shouldn't Angels count as extraterrestrial too?
I'm calling BS, everybody knows they are more of a Grey, not that little and the anal probes are either silicon or ceramic
They want Required, Government Directed Community Service, big difference, and they want it to start in Middle School.

I'm sure that all these uber-liberals will get completely on-board with a Halliburton or KBR run space program.
They help pay the bill, I suppose the tenth cannibal should object for being dinner for the other nine either?

I worked at McDonalds like about 40 years ago and we did special orders all of the time

use armor piecing rounds and make sure your head is pressed against your boss's when you pull the trigger.

We should have seen the signs, Drew had an advertising company, they are even more sociopathic than used car salesman.
