Why on earth would we want to do that? Historically our technological innovation has been driven domestically in part because we have such an open policy to immigrants. The space program was dramatically accelerated by accepting German immigrants. The Manhattan Project owes a lot to immigrants.

But that's the same situation with the gambling website. Antigua can run a gambling website and the entire rest of the world can frequent it.
Antigua is arguing that they should be able to have a business that caters to US customers with no afford to US law.
I have no moral problem with gambling myself, but I don't see how this will help Antigua's case. They still won't get US money and reselling digital goods that you don't own is just going to cost them the support they currently have from the WTO.
Recheck the last sentence from the summary. Specifically the "WTO-approved" bit.
Since the WTO doesn't have the authority to directly countermand the trade laws of its member nations, the way it deals with nations that defy its rulings is by permitting the injured party to retaliate with its own trade laws. In this case, the WTO ruled in 2007 that Antigua could retaliate against US trademarks and copyrights. So no... Antigua isn't going to suffer any sanction from the WTO for doing this.... in fact, it technically is a WTO sanction against the US.
Carlin would have loved this news. His whole point about profanity was that the only difference between clean vs. dirty language wasn't so much the words themselves as it was the attitude and emotion behind them. And 40+ years after he came up with that routine, humanity creates a computer that inadvertently proves his point.
I think you need to reread my comment, think about who has airplanes, and reconsider what armed revolt against the government looks like. Until then, there's no point in arguing.
The government needs to stop restricting our access to owning F-22s and A-10s.

The reason it still needs to be reported regularly is because there's still a large chunk of the population that pretends that this sort of Rent-an-Expert shenanigans never happen. Scientific integrity is certainly relevant this site.
It's probably talking about geothermal energy released in proportion to the planet's size. If you're talking about two rocky planets of the relatively same size and mass, the one with the greater content of heavy radioactive elements like Thorium will have the hotter core. This expands the planetary habitable zone outward since the higher internal temperature can compensate for the reduced solar radiation, so you'd have a wider range of planets that are capable of sustaining liquid water. A hotter core will also take longer to cool, which means the planet will remain geologically active for a longer period of time than a planet that started out with a cooler core.

Just Say No To College
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
Now that you mention it, people were saying the college degree was a waste of time in the mid-to-late 90s as well, although tech jobs were so plentiful then that they actually were hiring people right out of high school.
Then when the bubble burst, the lucky ones found themselves in a dead end job with no degree. Most of them didn't get to keep the job.
So apparently you need to ask yourself that question: do you know what UAC is?
Union Aerospace Corporation. Usually their system glitches result in dimensional breaches that demons use to invade Mars, or its moons... so just losing some school data seems rather mild by comparison.
I see your point, but I would suggest it's not so much a 'took on the pirates and won' situation so much as it is a 'remove some of the incentive for piracy and discovered it worked' situation.
DRM does provide some incentive for piracy when it reduces the usability for their legitimate customers. When a publisher is releasing software that installs a rootkit or has limited installations that counts down every time you perform a hardware change, finding a copy of the same software without all that crap on it becomes much more attractive.
The bulk of the criticism wasn't so much over the look and feel of the game as it was the repetitiveness of the gameplay. Further into the game there are a lot of long gaps between plot points where you're dealing with nothing but long hallways full of monster closets. It had the combined effect of killing the suspension of disbelief and making the game tedious instead of scary. There's only so many times anyone can go through whoosh/ROAR/KA-BLAM/thud before it gets old.
The name choice is quite simple. If you call it an interplanetary internet, it's much more attractive to interplanetary spammers, thus increasing the chances of making first contact.
I'd go into further detail, but there's this exiled prince from Gliese 317 who's asking for my help regarding some sort of currency transfer.
It's not necessarily a "lose a star, gain a star" scenario.
A nebula is the remnant of the supernova of a star at least 10x the mass of the sun, and we've found a few stars out there in the 100x or more category. Even with the core fusing elements all the way up to iron, there's still a lot of hydrogen outside the core that gets dispersed into the nebula when the supernova finally happens, so the formation of multiple smaller stars isn't out of the question.
If she's ever successfully put together a 25-player raiding group, building a consensus of 18+ in the Maine Senate might not be that difficult of a transition.
Getting the other senators to understand a Suicide Kings style of vote management might be a bit trickier, though.

More then likely, he was found with jewelry or something that gave the hint.
My question is, why would he be buried under a parking lot?
Because fate loves irony. He died shortly after offering his kingdom for a horse, and he was found under the wheels of a Mustang.

Never heard of that place. How far is it from Topeka?

Admittedly it's a bit lacking in some food groups, but you could use the hunting equipment and barbeque grill to fill in the gaps.

Drive a little faster than that and you could see us sooner.
