I mean, sure, I'll probably spend more on my health care "tax" than I'll ever "get out" of it
It's funny but the US already spends more on healthcare at 13.6% of it's GNP than Sweden mentioned above at ~9.5% and Canada also at 9.5% who already have universal healthcare. They need to work on efficiency.
It's fine as long as they have stormtrooper accuracy.
They can't have. After all "Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise". So they would be less precise, and couldn't even hit the side of a sandcrawler, which Imperial Stormtroopers can barely do apparently.
Many of those are strikes on other parts of the planes. Even at much slower speeds, serious damage to wings/engines etc can cause problems.
another example.
Have we forgotten about PolyHeme? It isn't truly artificial (it is made from human hemoglobin), but it is not infectious and is not type specific. And it can be stored for a year at room temperature.
"The universe is fucked up" is something pretty much all scientists can agree on.
Reminds me of this classic:
There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
So why bother with right of way? The city should run a strand of fiber to every home, and home-run them to a central location. Allow independent ISP's to plug-in there and provide service to the customer. There's no reason the ISPs should ever own last mile. It's a waste of time and resources, and it stifles competition.
I agree this is the way it should be. However, the thing that scares me is when you have trouble with your connection, I can see your ISP saying it's a local problem and to call the city, resulting in a never ending runaround. Dealing with 1 can be enough of a problem, but 2 groups responsible for your connection will probably be a nightmare.
I agree! It's nice that they're saving money (maybe they can pay for their own gas) and are taking 1st aid courses to save lives, but I prefer to drive myself.
Try to run an articulated car from Clark St to Chamber St. You'll find that NYC subway has some pretty wicked curves and grades (sometimes at the same time) which would tear apart trains like this.
There are articulated buses in many cities that can handle steeper grades and street corners with no problem. This shouldn't be an issue at all.
Sounds like Christianity. No evidence outside their single reference book, even when the Europe had been documenting everything for several hundred years, no a single Jesus entry has ever been found.
There's no reason that the game has to use the character designs of the original. They are using the Mario name to gain attention. Of course they are going to be sued.
Yeah, it sounds more like a trademark issue than copywrite.
Or, if you read the article, the idea is to use the game engine to develop new and original projects without having to write them from scratch.
It should be easy to strip out the Mario original levels, rename it, and (less easily) design new characters. I don't think the gameplay itself would be a problem, as there are numerous similar games around.
My last job was corrosion testing. I would test various materials and coatings for their corrosion resistance - basically, I would make things rust.
My current job is building robotic assembly equipment. Despite my last job, I do not make the robots rust.
You're obviously an exception. I took a job as a bag boy in a supermarket when I was in highschool, and to this very day keep putting things into bags.
Not every religion believes in creationism, nor in intelligent design. Both are mainly espoused by only 4 religions.
All scientists believe in evolution. The facts are there to present in unbiased form.
You can teach the facts of religion, in unbiased form, perfectly fine. I know this, because I've witnessed it, in a Catholic (!) school in the UK. They covered most major religions and the differences between them, without claiming any of them was right or wrong. No, Catholicism didn't get preferential treatment in that class. Faith and religion are important factors in most societies and covering them (correctly) in school is probably a good thing to ensure well-informed individuals.
It was the same in Canada when I went to school. Besically religion was a world religion class where the major religions we covered (sorry, no FSM!). But there was no right or wrong judgement.

Just an accident. And when the first drone "accidentally fires" on a US citizen... what then?
Works as intended.
Maybe it went rouge!!!
Well, there you go. They should be paying attention instead of putting on makeup!

Asteroids do not have tails. Fusion powered spaceships or comets do though....

Small-scale EMP is actually harder to achieve that large-scale
I'm not so sure. I saw a show on TV where they showed a working device and disabled a car with it.
Is there anything that they won't use the 'think of the children' line on?
Pathetic.
TSSA. Part of its mandate is to molest children.
They have stopped talking about the death of English cricket and are now talking about death BY English cricket.
Yes. It's worse than water boarding!
Well, as 1000 is in both groups, they maybe complied with all of them.
Yeah, with those numbers, they complied with somewhere between 0-100%. Not really that useful.
Been has agreed...
Neither of those planes could go above 200 knots.

Autonomous driving? No thank you!

Simply not true

This sounds like some 1950s, Popular Mechanics approach to the situation. Wouldn't it make more sense for the books to be digital?
Yeah you're right. Digital books would be much lighter, and easier for the drones to carry. Perhaps money can be saved by using smaller drones!

It's not surprising to see a spurt of purchases at the end of the budget year.
Plus, if they come in under budget, then they get rewarded with a smaller budget next time.
Clearly man made
So, a "That's no moon!" quote is actually appropriate here.
