Well there's your problem. There is no such thing as well meaning intelligent people. If there is a legend it will be abused and worked around no matter it's intent. Remember people we have a law making it illegal to murder someone and another law making it illegal to hire a third party to murder someone for you. Because that was a loophole that needed to be closed.
Doesn't matter if it is tax law to murder charges someone will find a loophole.
For the programmers think of law as the basic programming language with lots of goto statements. And a shit ton of manual error checking , and sometimes error checking the error checking.
There were several tank battles in both Iraq wars. In both wars the Iraqis got curb stomped by American tanks and aircraft.
However tanks are expensive to operate and terrorists can't afford to keep tanks when a Toyota with a machine gun and load of RPGs can do triple duty as troop transport, and mobile attack platform. Survivability isn't high but Isis doesn't care how of its troops get wounded.
This part has always bothered me. Why do the rails have to be straight? Would rails spiraled to match the Lorenz force work better? Think DNA. Bonus the round would leave the barrel with rotation adding accuracy and trajectory stablization. Also it would work better for exterior force pushing agonist the rails as round shapes deal with pressure better.
Go on a multi day adventure where you are required to be up and moving at all hours. I can and have pushed my body and to function on 2-3 hours of sleep every twelve hours. With out a solid bout of REM sleep though I start acting funny.
If you want deep complex thoughts, if you use your mind more than your body, then you need more sleep. Indian vision quests basically take you on a lucid dream. First you exhaust your body, and then you take a mild psychotropic drug. Your sub conscience "dream mind" fully takes over.
If you study the sleep and eating patterns I the various religions you see a similar pattern.
The subconscious mind does the complex problem solving for us by continually testing every idea including the strange ones. That is why dreams get weird. However once it comes up with the correct answer it uses dreams to upload that to your waking mind.
Being off by just 5 degrees can put you hundreds of miles off course. Also 2/3 rds of the fleet is near or around the Indian ocean. Try looking at a map and see why it would be bad.
Lasts time I read/watched Al Jazeera I thought Fox News or msnbc. Levels of bias. Some individual reporters were good but on a whole not really unbiased.
So is Space X. or did you not know that space X primary funding comes from doing launches for NASA?
NASA's budget is such a mess because NASA was always required to give no bid contracts for the big jobs to certain companies in certain states. That was congress's doing. Give NASA a fixed budget and let them decide where to procure items and the costs of space travel for NASA would have fallen sharply.
The problem is without intelligence on the ground the rests is useless. You can only tell so much from survelleince. Smart targets of regular vehicles coming and going from their bases, and use those to move in and out with.
So you need people on the ground to determine which vehicle the target is in
Only idiots believe that there will be anymore than two candidates. If you don't vote for the D or R your vote is wasted and doesn't count. That is why 70% of the population doesn't bother. When your choice is between an idiot or a moron you don't get a choice.
I don't like Hillary, sanders scares me, and every single republican wants to remove women rights, and install a theocracy in place of the president.
Now pick your candidate. Also if you don't believe the part about theocracy you are not listening to them talk. They want more religion and priests dictating government affairs.
because if they choose an american vendor then each part must have parts made in each state.
Why was nasa so expensive? because they couldn't source parts from states and companies they wanted to but had to source parts only from select vendors that congress choose.
Get congress out of the line item budget for NASA and their costs would have dropped by 30% at least. Actually get congress out of the line item budget for a lot of things and costs will go way down.
Simplification yes. Banks didn't know exactly which loans would go bad. However those insurance pools had to have loans that were low risk and loans that were high risk. Something the banks did know. If you have 100 loans of which 40 are low risk 50 are led risk and 10 are high risk. That's. 10% chance that a loan will go bad in that pool. It might not be an actual high risk loan that is bad but that is besides the point.
the thing with 2008 isn't that 20% defaulted. it's that the banks built an insurance pyramid scheme to borrow more money and one bank was left holding the bad debt.
Bank A , B , C and D each have 100 loans of which 95% are good and 5% are bad. Each bank is maxed out on loans they can legally, and fiscally move. to make more money they need to insure the loans.
So Bank A and Bank B take 50 loans each 45 good one and the 5 bad ones and get insurance from bank C. This gives Bank A and B the ability to take on 20 more loans each with at least 2 of them being bad.
Bank C goes to Bank D for insurance and gives Bank D their 5 bad loans as well as the 10 bad loans from Banks A and B. this gives Bank C ability to also take on 20 more loans.
Bank D is now holding 190 loans including 20 bad ones and their risk went up from 5% to 10%.
Wash rinse repeat. they did this until one bank had 20% plus bad loans in their portfolio. when it collapsed all the cross insurance collapsed as well. That is why 75% of the government bailout loans were repayable in 4 months. The banks just needed to cover short term costs with the pyramid to each other.
The problem then becomes the creation of the test itself, and how and by whom it is scored.
Remember the rich will demand special testing for themselves, in special rooms, so that if nessecary bribes can be passed around.
You have to remove the ability to bribe the graders. Then it becomes how has the answers. do you test intelligence or do you test knowledge. memorization is easy to cheat against intelligence is not but requires graders who now the subject.

It Friday the 23rd. Sanity clauses usually happen on Friday the 23rd. You just don't notice them as often.
Now if it was a Friday the 13th there would be all sorts of doom Sayers screaming.
Yes but he always skips out the ending as it is to depressing.

Also you need the passcode upon booting. Simply reboot the phone before handing it over to the police.
In iOS 9 ( at least)you have to enter you passcode once every 48 hours even with finger print lock.
I have gone a weekend without entering the passcode and suddenly couldn't use my fingerprint anymore.
I wish this part was better documented because it then becomes trivially easy to hit the wall between mandatory unlock and the passcode timer.

Earning more than 200k a year puts you in the 90th percentile. More then 400k is the top 1%.
The problem is the people who earn more than a million a year pay less in total tax dollars than someone earning 400k a year.

If you are going to do that old joke,
There was also in that all the unix code that linus stole and put into Linux.

people do not routinely set aside space for a home theater. The top 5% wealthy people do that.
Everyone else doesn't have that kind of space.
I uninstalled flash on my computers, and then installed chrome for when i needed flash for websites.
you might be surprised at the number of sites that still use some flash. especially auto manufacturers though that is changing.

Under Swiss law he can't be charged before he is brought before a judge you can't be tried in absentia. You can't be charged In absentia.
Seriously why are idiots applying English law in Swedish courts? Of course only idiots defend him.
Had the same issue. At home I have next to no signal for 200 meters around my apartment.
I switched to the iOS 9 beta in August to finally get wifi calling on AT&T and my battery life at home jumped up massively.
Not spending 8 hours trying to reconnect to nothing helped a lot.

Exactly you need air to air combat with bvr and stealth. F-22
You need some air to air and some air to ground stealth is useful. F-35
You need ground CAS you need low slow and built like a tank carting weapons and fuel to loiter for hours. A-10
You need pictures and comm relays in the various zones that is what drones are for.
Even worse. 95% of pilots under 136 pounds are women. The airforce just banned women from f-35 flights without being directly gender discrimitory .
