I had a YouTube account in the days before Google swallowed it. I use it only to store videos that I embed on websites, because YouTube alone allows me to stream a video, rather than having the user wait half an hour (at our typical rural ISP speeds) to download it first. So now I find I can no longer log on with my old YouTube credentials, but when I go into Gmail I'm invited to create a new YouTube account, which I have done so I can keep on uploading and embedding vids. Though my old vids are no longer visible in this account, they still exist in some cloudly netherwhere, when users of my old sites need to play them.
This happened to a news helicopter in Phoenix in 1991, killing the pilot. For years, the air over Phoenix has been analyzed at approximately 40% news helicopters. After two of them collided in 1991, this activity has been somewhat more restrained.
If you shave with an Occam, that's actually the most likely explanation. Although Philae was equipped with ice-anchor feet, these did not take hold and the lander is just resting on the comet. Because its weight on that tiny body is the same as one sheet of paper, any outgassing as the comet approaches the sun will literally blow it away.
I'm sure that "simple life" will predominate, so I think our search for life should be two-pronged. First we look for gross atmospheric changes, such as a free oxygen atmosphere, that point to a "cyanobacteria plus" ecosystem, the 'plus' factor being zero or more lifeforms added to an elementary soup of photosynthesizing bacteria.
Looking for intelligence is an entirely different effort, subject to a Drake filter with several more terms, such as long-time star stability and the ability to maintain civilized order for significant periods of time. Theidea of searching for intentional efforts to communicate is deprecated because...who would call out to an unknown universe? We look for accidental leakage of radio signals, and we are starting to look for evidence of large-scale construction projects.
Points 6 and 10 are pure hokum, an attempt to get zero terms into the Drake equation, to yield a zero result.
Having a large Moon has given us higher tides, but even if tides were essential to life, the Sun alone would give us 40% of the tide we see today. The Moon has an effect on reducing the Earth's axial tilt, but latest estimates are that the Moon contributes only about ten degrees of stability.
And while some rate of rotation is essential for evening out weather, there is nothing sacred about Earth's specific rotation rate.
You're getting warm, but what I think primarily keeps women out of STEM is the fearfulness that is engrained into feminine culture. This is probably the result of the same primordial gender roles they can see, and deplore, so easily when they show up in men. Notice how every demonstration against science and its applications are heavily loaded with women? From the anti-nuke folk singers to the anti-vax film stars, these movements have been a few publicity-hogging manginas leading armies of women.
"Couldn't they have come up with some ridging or some pattern of grooves?"
I know! A slot down the center of each lane that would engage a fin projecting from the bottom of each car. This would allow high-speed banking on curves and even, just for fun, the occasional inside loop.
But even if it doesn't work out for pavement, we could always use the plastic to make small modular bricks with snap-together lugs that we could quickly assemble into gas stations, convenience stores and rest areas. Why, if you think about it we could make whole theme parks from this stuff.
Here in Arizona we are laying a lot of rubber roads: more durable, quieter, and no more mountains of old tires. It's like driving on carpet. But in accidents, they can catch fire.
Most Japanese characters in the two phonetic alphabets stand for a consonant tied to a vowel. The no phonetic in grammar indicates possession. In the phrase Katoh no boshi (Kato's cap) all of the other characters would be the Chinese-derived kanji.
The character in the Unicode table looks like a mashup of the hiragana (grammar-forming) version of the character, and the katakana (used as we do italics) form.
"And I know from the content that you were hurrying to meet a women who is not your wife. You might want to keep this in mind when we suggest a settlement."
We need to study the incidence of all morbidity (disease) in the population of Green Bank over a long period of time. This would establish a once-and-for-all data baseline in a "radio-free" population for comparison against populations exposed to various forms of radio waves.
"As long as they call it Spacon it will be a hit in Hawaii and annoy people everywhere."
I know you're trying for a play on "Spam" here, but because a lot of people will read "Space" in the name, it will remind Hawaiians of astronomy. They will reject it.
These EMV cards, as they are called, are a new standard in the US, and are now usable in the rest of the world. The problem is that the authentication is still by signature, no PIN, making them useless as a security device. The one advantage is that your credit card will no longer be giggled at in Europe.
That's funny. Every peach I get at the market, even at Whole Paycheck, contains a cyanide-laced pit. What magic peaches do you get that don't have these?
Food producers can individually appeal to the anti-GMO market by labeling as GMO-free, just as they label for kosher. The new law just prevents all food from having to be labeled. How would you like it if most of the food you bought were to be labeled, NOT HALAL?

Just classify drones as pets. Then whenever the police are called out on a case, drones would automatically get shot first.
And they suck as Thanksgiving dinner.

And when you encounter gangbangers or a heart attack on the running trail, you're going to wish you had brought the "big phone" along too.

And hardly any white folk either.

What they mean is that dulse has been eaten for centuries. Sea Bacon is a new variety of dulse.

See! I told you someone would think of a military use for drones.
Same reaction here. MUMPS was old news when I started my career, in 1965.
We played God when we took out the first diseased appendix.
