Yup, it's mind boggling to think of a mission that takes so long. Here's hoping they don't discover a moon orbiting Pluto at about 6000 miles, or forget to take the lens cap off.
What he can't study is the that impact unlimited file sharing would have on major studio pictures. All he can say is that restricting piracy to only those people who are willing to make the extra effort and take the (albeit) small risk has the double benefit of stirring up some interest while still encouraging most people to pay.
So it's reasonable to say that Hollywood's efforts to control piracy is working quite well.
waves don't move patches of water half-way around the globe
I suppose it depends on what you mean by "move". The swell (which is different from a wave of water) is moving the water vertically, and the swell did originate thousands of miles away.
Yes, exactly my point. Selectively removing distortions by selectively lowering the tax on one product versus another is effectively subsidizing the product. There is no difference between a government removing the tariff on one product versus keeping the tariff but giving the buyer a discount/rebate/credit/subsidy on it; they are all the same.
For starters, please learn what the term "market inefficiency" means, these negotiations have nothing to do with it. Then learn what a "subsidy" is, this is what the governments are (effectively) trying to do - artificially lower the price of a special category of products.
Have you ever tried to boil a pot of water outside? Especially when it's cold and the wind is blowing? And when the only fuel you have is what you carried in on your back? Even in a tent it's a challenge.
This isn't "market inefficiencies", the market is just fine. This is social engineering by subsidizing one group of products and letting other products pay the price. Attempts along these lines have already had big downsides (e.g. the inordinately high grain prices over the past few years brought on by subsidies to the ethanol industry).
All of people's creative reasons for wanting one really seem to be just using it as a remote control for their phone.
For that it does have one advantage: convenient access because it's strapped to your wrist. The down side is that almost all apps will need to use voice command. Even the simplest touch interface will be more bother than pulling out the phone; plus, people over the age of 45 will need to put on reading glasses to see all but the biggest block letters.
I don't get the US. I mean, by now you should have noticed that the bigger and more complicated the technology, the more you play into your opponent's hands.
I don't think your comment applies in this case. Replace the UAV shooting a missile with a guy sitting a mile away and picking off your guys with a rifle. Cost effective and terrifying.
if you disagree...you must contradict my dual thesis
You haven't proven anything to disprove. Democrats controlled both houses of Congress and the White House and did nothing. They still control the executive branch (i.e. the FCC) and do nothing. Your thesis is nonsense.
I'm pretty sure they regulate the Amish buggies you see in many parts of the state. At least as much as the Amish will be regulated (which isn't much).
She was participating in an attack against a rebel target. The journalists were with the rebels; embedded journalists know and accept the risk of being on the front line.
He's right over top of us right now, LaGuardia. He did a 180 really quick.
I suppose you could interpret that either way. I take it to mean the drone was over the helicopter because it made the turn "he IS over top of us...he DID a 180".
Did you listen to the audio? While the pilot is talking to the tower he clearly says the drone "did a 180" and "is right over us now". He followed it after it turned and went away.
Stopped reading right there. But I wonder how much this report cost? It seems to have kept quite a few people employed for quite a while. And all their solution requires to work is a miracle.
My only gripe is the use of indentation instead of curly brackets to mark blocks
I'll never understand that criticism. Don't you indent your code? Have you ever been fooled by incorrect indentation that didn't compile the way it looked? Brackets, begin..end, and semicolons are crutches for compiler writers not programmers.

Your hobby is not more important to society in general than human life.
The US has a long tradition of hanging horse thieves.

The same companies that installed closed circuit TV so the kiddies can watch infomercials all day.

True, but the same advice applies everywhere. No news outlet or aggregator is without bias.

He wasn't arrested twice.
Yes, he was. That's the point; the Maldives arrested him, then released him to the US, which then arrested him again. That's how it's done.

Only if you use the gold plated cables.
This was discussed already and the general conclusion was the restaurant had very poor service
Or a competitor/ex-business partner/ex-girlfriend/etc who occasionally posts bad reviews. It only takes one.
People have been killed by remote controlled model airplanes an several occasions

Where did you see "complicated and expensive"? Get the implant once and forget it, unlike every other form available.
