It's really simple. Somebody puts something out there and asks a price for it. You have it and haven't paid. You're a fucking thief. Everything else is rationalization.
It's really simple. Somebody puts a price on something that has zero value. Nobody wants to pay for it.
If you don't believe we do try walking down the street in your birthday suit, I reckon you'll find yourself arrested pretty quickly but the "crime" really has no more "victims" than someone being gay does.
If your average Slashdotter were to walk down the street naked, EVERYONE would be a victim.
So because the government shielded him for the war they were indebted to shield him forever?
Yes.
When someone saves your ass, you owe them.
People who turn on their benefactors the moment the danger is passed are, based on the history of storytelling, almost universally considered by cultures world-wide and throughout history as deserving of punishment or death.
Can you explain that in more depth? Doesn't the structure have to be strong anyway to withstand takeoff pressures from Earth?
Only if it's launched in one piece...

Oh, and from the article that pic is from:
Bio-Suit is a space activity suit under development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which as of 2006[update] consists of several lower leg prototypes. Bio-suit is custom fit to each wearer, using laser body scanning.
Centripital. And the problem with that is, the structure you're standing in has the same sense of acceleration as the astronaut. It has to be dramatically stronger, and thus heavier, and therefore unworkable in orbit.
I was under the impression that materials science has come quite a long way since the invention of bones.
When I saw them plying a big length of rubber on the leg of someone, it looked like something ready to cut off someone's circulation if left on too long.
I'm guessing that's because there was an additional 1 atmosphere of pressure on it...
Will using them for any length of time be uncomfortable or dangerous to people?
Since the point is to make them less uncomfortable and dangerous than existing suits, I'd posit that the answer will be "no, or they'll go out of business."
The use of Gyros sounds a bit odd, perhaps I am not quite sure of the process in which bones lose density.
Nobody is quite sure of the process by which bones lose density in microgravity. It's still kind of a mystery.
I would have thought the loss of bone mass is from the lack of gravity bones are subjected to in the first place, not a lack of resistance to movement.
That seems to be the case from experiments, but there hasn't been a method to provide continual resistance to movement before, just periodic exercise.
Gyros probably won't help too much for putting resistance on someone's spine or other bones in the center of one's mass.
It might, if the upper/lower limb gyros work opposite one another.
Has NASA agreed to ship some of these up to the ISS for some testing?
They'd probably want to see a fully-functional prototype first.
The only assumption I saw was that most folks would botch assembly due to the teeny smd tolerances.
So, anyone who does it successfully would achieve a rare accomplishment, through hard work, diligence, and skill.
I don't know why people would really want to.
You clearly aren't the target market for a kit form, then.
Seriously, though: the world is full of people who want to do difficult, unnecessary things. It is a human-being feature. All Raspberry Pi has to do is say "Kits are not covered by warranty, period."
Can you show me a single, solitary instance of where badmouthing the president has been treated as a criminal (or civil) offense, in the last 50 years?
...which is AWESOME. I think it's super-great that our President has this power! GO OBAMA! WOOO! I am totally voting for him in November, I will even film myself voting and post it to Youtube so that there's public proof that I SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT UNCONDITIONALLY!!!

Mod parent up.
So you think Turing only turned gay after WWII? Interesting theory.

It's a lot easier if all you ever eat is the stuff that comes out of the thigh pads.

The problem with Windows and Android is that software/apps are available to end users

It's like the 1980's all over again!

Sorry, doing nothing but spending all your money and working is not enough to stop you getting sued or arrested for violating some random-ass law.
What dollars? Wasn't the original Watchmen a huge financial bust?
What are you talking about? it did quite well, especially for a high-priced format with no established characters.
Nevertheless: all interstellar matter is from beyond our solar system.
Except, fairly soon, for the Voyager spacecraft.
I encourage you to take a latino friend to a Tea Party rally to see firsthand the things those racist fucking retards do and say to him.
Now, that there is downright uncalled-for. Going and assuming that jellomizer has a latino friend, like that.
I'd like to avoid the tentacle monsters
That's "tentacle sapients", you insensitive clod.
It's a direction.
Why is Qatar/Kuwait/Jordan not getting its ass kicked?
Because it's hard to kick someone's ass while you're sucking oil out of their dick?

The point is, it is not unusual at all for really rich people to have guns wherever they want them, even if they're publically anti-gun.

You won't find one, because people bad-mouthing the President don't get arrested and tried. They just get secretly declared to be terrorists and summarily executed.

Weird how people can taste the difference...

This is my family's atom. It was my father's, and his father's before him, and his father's father's father's before him.
Through the years the electron's been replaced three times and the proton twice, but it's still the same atom.
