You only see the projects that were completed; there were plenty of others that were never started for various reasons. But even today there are may Megaprojects planned or in work. Granted, many of these are outside the US but not all of them.
That said, your comment is off topic. Sinking an obsolete aircraft carrier after blowing the crap out of it with a couple of atomic bombs hardly qualifies as something that was done "for the betterment of people".
It's jargon - where I live it's normal to use "any more" in place of "today" or "now". If you had paid more attention in your Language Arts classes you would understand.
It's that half-second of overcorrection that doomed it.
Maybe. Or maybe it was coming in at the wrong angle. Or maybe the thrusters had no chance. Or maybe the legs wouldn't have stood up to it even if the thrusters had worked as planned. All we know *for sure* is that it crashed. I'm sure they'll keep working on until the kinks are ironed out though.

Not the first or only time this has happened.
The best known example happened about a hundred years ago. One of the greatest capitalists of all time doubled the wage of roughly 14,000 employees. Not because he was generous or forced to do so by a government or union, but because it was a good business decision.
I also tape over the camera on my laptop. But tampering with a safety device on your car is likely to bring on all kinds of legal problems (both criminal and civil) if you get into an accident. Imagine what would happen if you run over a child today after you disabled the camera that let's you see behind the car when you back up...
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success.
Then you run through every use case. Confer with the actual users to see what those are.
Don't even think about defining use cases unless you have a few hundred experienced clinicians working with you: dozens of different specialties of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, infection preventionists, various physical and occupational therapists, etc., etc.
The list goes on and on and on. Now consider the variety of patients. Does the patient speak English? Is the patient psychotic and lying to you or violent? Do you even know who the patient is?
Any competent development house should be doing task analysis...
Of course they do usability, duh.
But every use case is different: Routine visit? Emergency with patient not breathing? Surgery? There are endless different scenarios to be considered and tons of data that has to be captured.
I've seen several EMRs and I've never seen one that asks for patient age; it's always Date of Birth. And any one system won't request it a second time, the problem is when a hospital is using multiple systems that don't interface the EMR with each other.
Morales has already gotten apologies from the countries involved. The new information here is that Assange lied in an effort to precipitate an incident like this.
The question is whether a review on Google can be accessed by someone in Japan (yes, of course it can).
The court has ordered that the offending review be made unavailable to someone in Japan. Their proposed method for doing that seems to overstep the court's authority, but now Google has to decide if they want to go along or risk sanctions.
Green had previously received a three-day suspension for accessing the system inappropriately. Other students also got in trouble at the time, he said. . . .
Green said that on the morning in question, he accessed the computer that stored the FCAT files and, realizing that computer didn't have a camera, found another.
"So I logged out of that computer and logged into a different one and I logged into a teacher's computer who I didn't like and tried putting inappropriate pictures onto his computer to annoy him," Green said.
So the kid received a warning the first time. He knew that what he was doing could get him in trouble, but he decided to harass the teacher anyway. Too bad they aren't allowed to paddle.
What you say is true. But the mystery is why this location has so much more methane than other coal regions. It could be that there's just much more gas escaping from the coal fields than anywhere else; we'll see.
There was some discussion recently that women live longer after menopause (and longer than men) because grandmothers were useful for helping their daughters raise babies in hunter/gatherer societies. Grandfathers were a burden.
The problem (as you recognize) is that the administration is trying to go about this unilaterally. Obama is still acting like it's 2009 with his "I won" mentality. But what one President can order, the next can change.
Instead, the executive branch and the legislative branch should agree on what the law should be and make it so; unfortunately there has been no effort to reach any kind of compromise.
I assume women are instinctively drawn to men who would be good providers of food and protection. A strong, healthy (or these days, wealthy) mate means more food for the children.
Why would a phone company (or any other non-government entity) even think about asking for a social security number? I was offered almost $100 off a purchase last summer if I signed up for a store's credit card, but they absolutely insisted that I had to give them my SSN, so I turned down their generous offer and won't ever go back there. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
(drones, robotics, Arduino, Raspberry Pi and 3D printing) outsold Star Trek-related merchandise...Apple laptops combined, new and used, sold $48.4 million
I'm more surprised at the Apple number than the combined sales of five other categories. But then, Apple laptops aren't PCs.

Are you suggesting that someone should take a leak on Assange?
What kind of bizarre phrase is this?

Kind of reminds me of when Neil Armstrong crashed the Lunar Lander Simulator
Falcon 9 was seconds away from what would have been the first successful landing of a used booster stage on SpaceX’s Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship
I suppose that's one way to look at it. But actually it was seconds away from exploding in a huge ball of fire.

Doesn't Wal-Mart or McDonalds pay better, though?
Do you think a Wal-Mart greeter would ever find anyone entering the store attractive enough to grope?

These ladies are for real.
Just like pro wrestling and roller derby.

The Power processors in BlueGene were described as having "modest" performance. The graphics coprocessors were what made it fast.

Height implies strength and vigor. My assumption is that women everywhere (not just Dutch women) prefer strong, healthy men.
That is true of most mammals, including primates. The big strong males are much more likely to mate.
