I know the earth is critically short of humans, but marketing dead wombs to people with broken wombs seems a bit macabre... how does the doc begin that conversation?
was actually able to arrest the roll just prior to splash down.
That should not be surprising. When the fin stuck, the rocket was travelling at considerable airspeed. But "just prior to splashdown", with the hoverslam, the velocity was approaching zero, and so also was the spin force from the fin.
Things change. Once, America did not care about IP. Europeans were fuming at the rampant patent and copyright infringement, and blatant espionage to steal trade secrets. American factories were mass-producing cheap knock-offs of British goods. Printers paid no royalties.
Eventually, the American companies started innovating, and American writers became common. So some of the states started to make and enforce IP laws. This annoyed a bunch of people, so they moved West to avoid patent law, and that is how we got Hollywood.
For instance, for three of the largest Asian groups (i.e., Chinese, Filipinos and Japanese), life expectancy is higher for U.S. born than for foreign born [4], which is contrary to the healthy migrant hypothesis. On the other hand, the life expectancy of Asians in the United States is higher than in any Asian country, which suggests that some health selection is likely at play.
Well, that seems to blow a big hole in the "American diet" hypothesis.
If you die, YOU DIE. Game over, you don't get to spread your genes any further. If your FRIEND dies, you win his mate. If your friend SURVIVES, he helps you in return, which makes it easier to spread your genes.
Even better, advise your stronger friend to go off to hunt/battle, then screw his mate while he is away.
And given the cattle produce lots of meat, and only a small amount of ribeye, it would make sense to start making fake steaks with ground beef instead of tofu.

In 2010, I hear there were faxes and drums circulating around the country that Goodluck Jonathan (real name) was actually born in the Unites States, not Bayelsa.
(Nigeria is one of the few countries where a president has to be a citizen by birth.)
3D printed steaks have been around for years. The question is if this new method using vegetable proteins is any improvement over polyamide or ABS. Double-blind taste tests have been inconclusive.
I also expect the novelty of it to wear off pretty soon, right now 561 people have been to space. Like ever, all the way back to Yuri Gagarin. If you start adding hundreds each year it's not that special anymore, it's >$100k for a ten minute joyride including a few minutes of weightlessness.
For comparison, 4000 have scaled Everest now, and you can join a trip for $50,000 . Much better value, and bigger boasting rights, than the 10 minute joyride. And possibly similar chance of survival.
Yep, SpaceShipTwo is a glorified Vomit Comet. Which is cool in itself. But it ain't no spaceship, more like a first-stage booster. A seat on the Comet will cost $5000, and is available right now.
NASA only sent Alan Shepard into a 15 minute hop because of the huge pressure to respond to the Russians putting a man in orbit.
You made a dogmatic statement "about lifestyle not genetics.". Nobody with a clue would take the extreme view that it is 100% one or the other, and certainly not that that such a thing can be proven with current data.
Where is your supposed evidence? No doubt it will actually (correctly) claim there is a *component* of the death rate differential due to diet. Stop stop hand-waving, and show us where you found support for such an extreme claim.
I'm a Muslim and I celebrate Christmas, as do many Muslims I know,
Cool. I don't know any Muslims who are "anti" Christmas, though there was a class at our school that had to bad Christmas carols and decorations because of one christian family, I forget what sect. Some Muslims I know just don't participate, even though it is a mostly secular. No decoration, no presents for the kids.
I like the way they do it in Malaysia - there everybody joins in Christmas - Muslim, Hindu or Chinese. As well as Diwali or Chinese NY often.
Too bad this is offending to me that I'm not a Christian but a moderate Muslim. Sincerely, I hope all these projects start embracing new COCs and stop many of us from contributing at once. The future of Open Source depends on us.
Can't tell if Coward is serious or satire.
There are not a lot of Christians in the Open Source community. Larry Wall is the only notable example I am aware of.
We do of course occasionally pray to Saint IGNUcius, but like Moses and Jesus, I'm sure he is recognised as a prophet by the Shia and Sunni clerics.
WTF is it with Muslims feeling excluded by Christmas? They believe in Jesus more than I do. ( I'm not 100% sure he wasn't made up as a composite character by St. Paul.)
Linux is the kernel. For OSS, you want GNU or BSD userspace over a Linux kernelspace, GNU/Linux and BSD/Linux respectively.
But GNU and BSD were just command-line systems. For a desktop you also want an MIT display interface: X-windows/GNU/Linux. Then some chunks of BSD, Firefox or Chrome,...
Long before fracking and renewables, huge numbers of coal mines were operating at a loss for political reasons. The same reason that motor vehicle factories and agriculture in so many countries (including US and EU) are surviving only with government subsidies.
The question is not "why are they losing money?" - all mines have a limited lifetime before becoming unviable.
The question should be "Why are they still operating?"
Slashdot Mirror
some are rare. I saw one report that at current production rates, we had about 365 years of lithium.
Yes, Lithium is too rare to be used for large-scale grid energy storage. It should be reserved for portable applications like cars and laptops.
This means a longer wait, but other technologies are on the way, that lack the energy density of Li-Ion, but will work for grids.
But it took the Japanese massive R&D investment over decades to get Li-Ion tech to where it is now. Pumped hydro is still looking good.
Can it do trade negotiations with China?
I'll be dammed if I can figure out how a single engine on a gimbal induces roll on the axis in line with the centerline of the engine.
Don't take media reports too literally. It would be the cold-gas thrusters controlling the spin.
This is Australia, where they "block" piratebay at the DNS level.

How is that any different to a kidney transplant?
You mean some people only read it for the articles?

Next, sure, you can use a Faraday cage. You can put it in the refrigerator (which some people actually do!), etc.
That is the sort of thing that works in the movies, but I'm sure the real Ed Snowden knows better. Have you tried it?
Put your cellphone in the fridge or microwave, and call it. Are you surprised to heart the ring?

Why America was the China of the 19th century.
This is not an excuse, not saying China's theft should be ignored. Just adding some context.

You are the one making the claim, so where is you data? Sorry, I cannot find studies to support your assertion.
I'm not quite clear on what you are saying though. Zero genetic factor in the 8-year gap between life expectancy of whites and Asians in the US?
Are you just one of those people, who when challenged on an extreme claim, just wave your hands and tell the other guy to "go off and read"?
Get over your petty red-v-blue partisan politics.
I was just pointing out that Bush I comparison to Trump was wrong.
WTF does Obama have to do with that?
Of course approval ratings are not a good metric. US presidents usually get high ratings by starting or escalating a war.
Why is anyone still taking the Pill, when implants are so much more convenient and reliable?
evolution at play.
