I have to wonder if I'd be justified in pressing criminal charges when a bank's ATM dispenses a little brown slip of paper instead of a $20, or even better, a counterfeit $20. Both of which have happened to me. oO
Hydroelectricity is just solar power once-removed. You're not tapping the gravitational field, you're tapping the solar energy that imparted gravitational potential energy to the water by evaporating it and lifting it to a higher altitude.
The Administration? The CIA? These are all components of the United States, and that nation bears full responsibility for the actions of all parts of its government and its agencies. You can't dismiss these things as "oh, the CIA's bag", and "it could be worse" is simply a cop-out.
Particle events far more energetic than anything our best accelerators can even approach occur daily in our upper atmosphere, and have for the entire 4.5 billion years of the Earth's existence. Earth is still here.
What's the point of going after the page via its registrar at this point? Once the information has been posted on the web for any length of time at all, the cat's out of the bag. Their only really effective choice is to change the passwords.
That there are people who can't hear it is what makes it useful. In general, people lose their high-end hearing as they age, so playing an obnoxious sound like that (I can hear it, btw, and I'm 34) they figure can keep kids away from their storefronts or something stupid like that.
Of course, the teens just turn it around and use it as a ringtone undetectable to their teachers in class.
They did no such thing. They released the game with that content disabled. As in, completely inaccessible to the player unless the player went out of their way to actually modify the code of the game itself. Rockstar didn't need to declare it because it wasn't part of the game.
This is exactly identical to suing a game company because one of the comments in the code contains the word 'fuck' and they didn't declare this to the ESRB.
This is the reason why people can't stop voting even if they suspect fraud. Run up the score to get a big margin of victory. You can't flip too much of the vote without looking suspicious.
What good is a big margin if nobody knows about it? "Exit polls are inaccurate", remember?
Nonsense. Power and control in America comes from winning elections. The US has a president for two terms, at most, not a "President for Life" who has to try and prop himself up. Silly idealist! Power and control comes from money! No Trix for you.
Type 1a supernovae aren't massive-star supernovae. They're accreting white-dwarf stellar remnants in binary systems. They can move a great distance from where they originated.
No, if you have a crack running east-west in the Northern Hemisphere, then the northern face of the crack is facing south. The southern side of the crack faces north. GP is correct.
So, in order to slow down global warming (not stop, or reverse, simply delay), let's artificially induce global dimming by pumping particulate matter into the atmosphere.
So then, not only will the temperature continue to increase (albeit more slowly), but we also get massive, widespread drought due to plummetting evaporation rates. Great plan.
Sooo... you have absolutely no right to prevent me from looking over your shoulder and observing your PIN number as you enter it into an ATM in a public place, right?
Since light travels at a finite speed, any changes in the appearance of an object are only going to become apparent when the light that left the object when it was changing finally reaches you.
If a new star suddenly 'turns on' 10000 light years away from us, we're not going to see it until its light reaches us, 10000 years later. If that star burns out, there'll still be 10000 years worth of light already travelling towards us from it, so in our sky it will continue to shine for those 10000 years. Everything we see of that star will be suffering from a 10000 year delay.
There is no aspect of simultaneity in the universe. It's all governed by the limitations of Special (and General) Relativity. If it were otherwise, all sorts of causal paradoxes would be springing up, and reality would make very little sense.
It's kind of sad, how lately I've been viewing our neighbors to the south (rather, their military-industrial Administration), that this scenario seems frighteningly likely in the non-too-distant future.:(

Isn't that weird about our culture? We punish bad behaviour with a vengeance, but rarely do we reward good behaviour.

Oh oh oh I know the correct answer! Interstate Commerce!
See... airplanes can fly across state lines, right?

Sweetest of the transition metals!

No, it's illegal to use most controlled substances due to institutionalized racism.
Nature does not lie.
But Man can misinterpret.

Alice "Raccoona" Sheldon was her real name. I loved her work.

Is there anything else that creates a gravitational field?

That's incorrect, since at these velocities Special Relativity takes over from Classical Mechanics.
The relative velocity between two objects (in the case of parallel or antiparallel velocities) is given by:
v(rel) = ( w - v ) / ( 1 - ( ( w * v ) / c^2 ) )
Which means two objects, travelling in opposite directions at 0.80c, will have a velocity relative to each other of 0.98c.
It's kind of sad, how lately I've been viewing our neighbors to the south (rather, their military-industrial Administration), that this scenario seems frighteningly likely in the non-too-distant future. :(
