If American Idol is any indication, people get far more involved with entertainment than they do with politics. So some of them probably do vote in elections, but a lot more of them probably don't.
If you're doing 45 in a 55, there's a good chance you're impeding traffic and therefore not "a great driver." Please at least tell me you're driving in the right lane if you're going 10mph below the limit.
The thesis makes a lot of sense. If stars lose mass as they age (stellar winds), that's going to affect their spin. Of course, the tricky part is (a) doing the math and (b) proving it.
Certain mutations cause the worms to be born without neurons. They survive, they're just "uncoordinated." Neurotoxin wouldn't be able to stop them either.
What about turrets? Can turrets stop them? Or how about thermal discouragement beams?
I have to agree. If Americans don't want to be spied on then they should also be opposed to spying on foreigners as well.
Not so much, actually, no. See, every country spies on the citizens of other nations, but generally speaking, the only countries that spy on their own people are tin-pot dictatorships. What's more, the social contract Americans hold with their government is supposed to forbid the American government from pulling shit like this on its own citizens.
Also bear in mind that GPS control is very centralized. It's run from Colorado Springs, and if the control center goes down, the constellation becomes inaccurate after a week or so.
That's not entirely true. Yes, the primary C2 facility for GPS is in Colorado Springs (Schriever Air Force Base, to be precise), but the Air Force has alternate facilities in different parts of the country that they can spin up in less than a day, should the need arise.
Officer: You also happen to be the most articulate person in the unit, and have an actual understanding of how to communicate a position based on local experience and observations, and even know what the word "rhetoric" actually means when someone wants to know your boiled-down opinion about a complex, topic.
That's what the installation public affairs officer is for.
The last time the definition of an astronomical term came up for debate, Pluto got thoroughly fscked. If that pattern holds, the Magellanic Clouds will be reclassified as "stellar dustballs."
The only difference is perhaps that a single game doesn't last all that long, and therefore a failure is not too bad. Also, it's often possible to hit pause and save the game before making an important decision in a big game against AI.
You also don't have the emotional investment in a mess of infantry in an RTS that you'd have, say, in Tali'Zorah from ME.
I almost never ask a question in a search engine window. I use a combination of search terms, e.g., "change the water filter" "Frigidaire professional series."

Certainly the best way to deal with a problem is to deny that it exists altogether.
Seems to have worked well enough for Arnold Schwarzenegger and for Sony. :)

This case sets the scary precedent that admins are criminally liable for the network they maintain.
Only if they're criminally negligent in their failure to properly maintain it.

Well, his goal was to have the US economy collapse. That did not work.
Yet.
And Mother Jones isn't biased?
You're assuming we have any credibility with the people of Afghanistan. That's your first mistake.

Is the Royal Academy of Engineering in any way involved with Galileo, the European counterpart/competitor to GPS?
Conversion question: How many anti-milliHelens in one milliHelenThomas?
You're wrong. Associated Press style for private first class is Pfc.
And since when is military spending not a partisan political issue?

Damn... I would ask you to take a picture and send it to me for proof, but I don't want you to go over your limit.
Too late. Today's the 20th.
And at any rate, is it fair?
No, it's business.

C'mon, what did you think the Collectors were going to do with your captured crew -- feed them tea and crumpets?

Here's what you get with that query:
Google
Bing
It's worth noting that the string "Frigidaire professional" appears nowhere on the page in Bing's first search result.
Translation: They were assimilated.
FTFY.
