  1. Re:F-15 is *OLD* tech on Predator C Avenger Makes First Flights · · Score: 1

    I am not ignorant in military matters. The F-15 is old, granted. So why can we find nobody to fly against our old old jets? Because they are still sufficient, that's why.

    Don't you get it? The human race is doomed anyway. Do you think Jesus is going to let you leave the planet? No. In Genesis, Jesus gave man dominion over the Earth. Not the sky. Not for you.

    When the Wright Brothers took flight, they were offending God. And we just kept on doing it, over and over and over. We even landed on the moon, which was not man's to claim.

    So flying is therefore a sign of the end times. Flying in space is just making it worse for ourselves. You can't be a good Christian and also believe in the possibility of faster than light travel.

    You're citing CNN as if they are worth a shit. If you listen to the actual liberal sources like Democracy Now, you'd have heard them bitching about the Democrats covering for GW Bush for years.

    You think CNN isn't covering the news properly because they are liberal. The trouble with your theory is that the truly liberal sources have been regularly reporting on the bad Democrats who went along with illegal and immoral policies.

    Article III, Section 1 - The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, (etc.)

    Article III, Section 2 - The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, (etc.)

    Spelled out quite plainly. We can certainly have our opinions about the Constitution, but the Constitution says that one supreme court has juristiction overall cases of "law and equity" under the constitution.

    If that is true, then how can anyone else have authority in cases of law and equity over the Supreme Court? Logically, the SCOTUS alone decides the interpretation of the Constitution.

    Actually, there is a right to privacy in the Constitution. It's not explicitly named, but

    1. The Constitution specifies how it is to be interpreted
    2. The body specified to interpret the Constitution has said there is a right to privacy implicit
    3. You are not named as an interpreter of the Constitution in the Constitution, so your opinion and objections doesn't matter.

    The debris in low orbits where the Shuttle operates will return within just a few years. Higher than that means it stays up longer.

    If an object is orbiting twice as high as the shuttle, about 500 miles, it'll stay up roughly a couple centuries. Just a bit higher than that and you're measuring orbital lifetimes in millennia.

  11. Re:F-22 on Predator C Avenger Makes First Flights · · Score: 1

    The reason we want to cancel the F-22 is that we can't get anyone in the world to fly against our F-15's. We just don't need the F-22, and can probably skip it entirely in favor of cheaper solutions like these UAV's. We need manned aircraft right now, and the F-15 is not only good enough, it's far far more than good enough.

    Same situation. When Amazon cuts your account they are not denying you access to your books. You still have working copies of your books at home stored on your hard drive.

    I can't think of anyone stupid enough to think they should use Amazon as their only ebook storage.

    It's irrelevant. I'm arguing that there is stuff from Costco that stops working when you cancel your membership.

    But yes, a subscription is not a book. If you return too many TV's because of some insignificant picky little detail, you're a lousy customer and will eventually piss Amazon off. That's life.

    Can you read? Someone said that everything at Costco works with a cancelled membership, and I said bullshit. What does any Kindle subscription have to do with this?

    And that's one reason why I think TFA writer is full of shit. The Kindle doesn't shut down just because you lose your Amazon account. You lose access to the books you have on Amazon's servers, but you should make backups.

    And do you go around calling everyone you disagree with who has a funny name a troll? You must be a lot of fun to be around.

    God I am fucking sick of the idiots on Slashdot today. Doesn't anyone here actually HAVE a Kindle besides me? No? Well I guess that fucking gives everyone a license to talk.

    There must be something wrong with your reading comprehension. The guy I responded to said that the stuff you bought at Costco will still work when your membership is cancelled.

    I just pointed out that not everything will work when your membership is cancelled.

    The photos you stored on their servers will be deleted. You need to make your own copies.

    So, it's the OPPOSITE of the point the parent posts have been making. When your membership is deleted, your stuff stops working unless you make your own copies.

    Your Kindle will still read the books you already bought, even if your account is cancelled.
