When I was in high school people were looking at the most recent personal computer, which had 64k of ram, and exclaiming "when would you ever need that much ram?" The whole lab shared a 6 MB hard drive, and floppy disks held 360k. In college the computer I bought came with a 256 MB read/write optical drive and eventually a 40 MB hard drive. Everyone still thought those were huge.
Even a small OS like linux is a 180 MB download, and the USB sticks we use like we used to use floppies are now measured in GB. Assuming you won't need larger storage is a sure way to get yourself in trouble in a little while.
Venus has a higher average temperature than any other planet - the clouds do a good job at distributing the heat fairly evenly about the planet regardless of the latitude, season, or whether it is day or night.
Mercury has a lower average because there's nothing holding heat in on the night side. It does, however, hold the record for the greatest temperature difference in the solar system, between the day and night halves.
Mechanical doesn't mean they're not digital, it just means they're not electronic. Without doing a lot of research into these specific machines, it would be a whole lot easier to build them using a digital calculations rather than analog.
If they are a maths student, it means they want to learn math, not that they already know it. That's like insisting that a first year med student know that they can't mix Panexa with Tetra-meth phlogiston without a repressor protein to block the operating cells.
So all the kids going to college can be exposed to new views and ideas, right? Is there a better place where such stuff can be examined and refuted for what it is?
It would be interesting if the discount plan for administering this cure was to sleep with your doctor. (Doesn't hurt that my doctor is the opposite gender as I, and definitely not unattractive)
Just think, they could rename brothels to be "treatment centers".
On what basis are you calling it inefficient? Do you really think they should devote classes at Quantico to cover crimes that only involve things sent through the postal service? Would getting the postal service employees cooperation be easier if they saw the enforcement coming from outside their agency? Are you also against arson investigators being part of the Fire Department?
Just because you can call two different things "investigation" doesn't mean the process for each is going to work the same, or that an EPA investigator would be equally good at detecting smugglers crossing the border. Letting specialized agencies train people in the specifics of their specialty certainly appears to be more efficient when you look beyond the superficial.
Perhaps because there is no consensus that those drugs induce an "abortion", outside of catholic circles and the folks that insist that it is a person once sperm collides with egg? You're referring to Plan B, are you not? Or did you mean the birth control pill, since some also consider those to be a form of abortion?
The reason that people villainize hobby lobby is that they take the insulting stance of not trusting their own employees to do what is right and moral according to their own morals, and they want to enforce their own religious views upon the private lives of those employees. They don't know that any of their employees are doing any such thing, but they made a big deal about it being even possible, and want to create an option where they can take the power to make those decisions out of the hands of their employees.
Paying for health insurance that also covers abortion and birth control is no more guilt-inducing in the employer than paying your taxes makes the taxpayer guilty of murders committed by the bad apples in our military overseas.
You're assuming that the guy flying the drone was actually interested in his neighbor's daughter, which hasn't been shown. That's just what the idiot with the gun was afraid of.
So, if your neighbor was on a ladder pruning the tree in his back yard, and decided he needed to take a picture of his handiwork so he could fit a birdhouse there, you'd feel that you have the right to shoot him because your scantily-clad child is in the background?
Where are you obtaining this legal right to shoot someone else that's not on your property, but is either on their own property or on public property? What is there to stop said neighbor from shooting you when you're taking a video of your daughter playing in your back yard, if the shot background includes his son in his back yard?
Again, there's no good reasons for non-encrypted traffic. No one should be having to decide just what bits of their online life they are ok with businesses and governments picking over for information to use against them, and which things they are not ok with that. Especially since humans are the worst at recognizing in the short term what will be relevant to those malignant interests. At what point did we decide that governments have the power to decide whether or when people are allowed to have private communications between themselves?
Considering the slave/subsistence wages paid by Wal Mart, I wouldn't risk my autonomous vehicle opening itself up to their employees. Who knows what other items might go missing (first aid kit, etc.), and what other "extras" might be deposited (empty fast food wrappers, vomit left over from last nights drink-to-forget-our-jobs-suck bender, snot from omg-I-can't-afford-to-miss-a-day-of-work-if-I'm-sick-they'll-fire-me, etc.)
The information you speak of wasn't produced through the time or the money of the journals, but of the researchers that performed the studies. The "information creators" you speak of get zero compensation for their works being sold by the journals.
Mother Theresa is a poor choice if you're going for contrast, she was a fairly sadistic and hypocritical person who denied seriously ill people actual medical treatment in her "hospitals", denied the sick contact with their families, and got nothing but the best medical treatment for herself when illness reared its head.
This does seem like the best policy, and what consumers really need to harshly strong-arm ATT and VZW into: zero throttling or data caps until the tower you're on is congested, then the highest users/abusers get throttled first/most. There's no reason to put up with throttling of your connection when it's 2AM and you're one of only 2 people using the local tower. If there's no actual congestion at that moment, then the practice is just them pressuring you to pay for a more expensive plan and really ought to be outlawed by the PUC.

Damn, you got some old parents. How are they doing now?
Google makes its income off of advertising and can offer programs and services for free. MS wants to compete with Google, so they're sticking their feet in the water of offering the OS for free and making their income off of advertising.
Likewise, plumbers are going to fix your bathroom for free, but your toilets will start playing advertisements when you sit on the pot or step into the shower. You'll see toothpaste and mouthwash ads when you use the bathroom sink. You don't want to know what will pop up when you use the bidet.
Can you really call it paranoia when your opponent has a long and sordid history of doing exactly what you are afraid they are going to do, and have publicly stated they're out to get you?

That goes well with your cruel shoes.
Buy and large I would say yes, we are at that level of inactivity.

Would it be worth it, if by curing herpes they end up making people immune to a cure for cancer?
They're Assholes, sir.

Won't someone please think about the laughing, wise-cracking criminals?

That could explain why my freedom tasted a bit funny this morning....
