While it's a rover at this point, NASA considers it a space craft. The term "flight" is equivalent to "production". It means it's on the actual hardware and has passed the appropriate certifications.
The Vietnamese are our best chances of obtaining access to the oil reserves in the South China Sea. And they need us to keep it out of Chinese hands. It won't be long before Vietnam is a regular port of call for the US Navy.
It was more about where they put the bomb than anything else. Now if you want to argue that such a place doesn't exist and if it did you would never be able to analyze and find it in time.
$75/mo just for internet seems steep for most people. And very few who really need 1G can't afford it. It's not like the relatively piddle amount of money it's saving them is going to induce a massive wave of job creation.
Now if it were 100Mb for $25 that would be more news worthy in my opinion.
If you add that G.W. likely would have supported the act had he not retired from politics by then I would say that he, Adams, and John Marshall trump your Jefferson and Madison as forefathers. Though I guess you could throw in B.F. to even things out.
I'm not choosing sides though. Only pointing out that even in the golden era of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness things weren't as simple as most like to believe and the government was not one big kumbaya.
Perhaps you should read the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 before being so certain about what our forefathers would say. The past is not nearly as romantic as we are told.
And just a heads up, your company and it's information isn't nearly as important as you think it is and probably doesn't necessitate the need for any of this.
But personally there is practically zero information that I need to get from the government. I understand there are exceptions, but I think the norm for my government interaction should be filing my taxes and filling in the fasfa for my daughter once a year. I'm probably over stating, but it does bring into question exactly what the return is on spending all of this money.
This season is a major let down. Too many sub plots, not enough time. Changing to someone else every 5 minutes has gotten tedious and really isn't making for a smooth flowing story line.
Because we live in a society where everyone deserves everything. And no puppies are killed if you do download it. Solving piracy is pretty simple to do. Instead of threatening to sue, you send them a package with a dead puppy in it.
It's called paying for a service. Does the waitress deserve 20% of the price of a meal because she jotted down an order and filled your cup with water? The service industry charges what the consumer will bare. Not what it actually costs. If you don't like what they are charging then don't go out to eat or use their service. They have no obligation to charge you based on their costs.
Ariane is nothing special, not sure why everyone treats them as if they are. There are a half dozen other commercial launch companies that do the same thing. Commercial space is nothing new. The only thing new is the potential payload including people sometime in the future.
One reason is they don't have to deal with 5 billion calls a day as to why some obscure $1 microphone doesn't behave the way they intend. The kinect does do a better than average job trying to compensate for things and is a good baseline. Just letting anyone try and hook up their crappy 10 year old mic and hoping it works would be a potential support nightmare.
Mike Scully is from West Springfield, I believe his daughter teaches in Springfield. He calls into the radio 102 morning show quite often when he's in the area.
There are actually quite a few things similar that can easily be seen as familiar to Springfield MA. For example, the bridge is remarkably similar to the Memorial bridge. Several episodes mention the Springfield Armory, which Springfield MA is famous for and a national historic site. Mayor Quimby is obviously modeled after certain MA politicians, etc.
Not saying it's the model for the whole town, but to think that Mike injected a bit of his local home isn't a stretch.
He got fired because apparently enough people were upset with his views that it threatened to hit the companies bottom line. There is a subtle difference.
Given the high humidity of the South East I would think they could be better served with high efficiency air conditioners and some sort of solar to help offset the costs.

Really? This is what we consider clever now a days? It seems like a rather obvious way to do things to me.

$1B in wooden paddles is what's really needed.
We now live in a can't do instead of a can do society.

3.5% better than bare feet? Iron shackles? The next best running shoes that for top tier runners are probably custom made and tailored? I smell FUD.
How do you know anything?

The question is why do we need to spend money so that people who are on food stamps can use their smart phones to get them.

I'm perfectly aware and all I'm saying is this season is a mess in trying to tell the story.

All this shows is that the judge has no regard for patents and should be removed from the case.
struggle to keep our 50+ year old machines running China has at least two 65k+ ton forging presses.

In some circles the project seems to be more about pushing Linux-Global-Domination as opposed to helping educate people.
