...you don't have 20 years of additional product be part of the official continuity and then *poof* decide to crap on everyone and declare it persona non grata. That's just plain rude.
But that's what Abrams et al did to Star Trek. They made a mangled remark of The Original Series and did enough that the entire future, all the Star Trek series from Next Generation on, are all gone now, wiped out by a bullshit time travell plot. >:(
In the coming Age of Abrams, you'd better be ready to see Star Wars go the same way. >:(
Sure going to be fun when the dreaded "Rectal Bomber" finally makes his move.
He did, in Saudi Arabia I recall. Turns out his body ably shielded everyone else from the explosion. They decided it was too over-the-top to add to security theatre.
Having spent 3 hours in 4 lines in Caracas getting documents stamped, checked, restamped, rechecked, etc I'd much rather travel in the USA.
Thanks to the TSA, in 'Merica you can spend 6 hours in 4 windowless little rooms getting your arse stamped, checked, restamped, rechecked. Be careful what you ask for.
...the article addressed them (if you read between the lines).
The car was modified for disabled use and was apparently all-electronic control, including start/stop, gear, power, and brake. "Braking" accelerated the car from 100 km/hr to 200 km/hr. As I imagine the driver was familiar with the car, he may have tried using the other electronic controls--although after "braking" doubled his speed I imagine he was reluctant to do so for fear of what would actually happen. This is further supported by a Renault tech being in contact with the police who couldn't suggest anything more for the driver to do besides wait for fuel exhaustion.
Alas, you are wrong about Venus. It has a negligible magnetic field (likely due to no core convection) and cosmic rays and the soloar wind freely interact with the upper atmosphere causing hydrogen loss. As well, if Venus was a black body and had no incoming radiation it would take on the order of 600+ years to cool off.
wait, who said that members of the military would actually be *willing* to fight a war against other Americans?
More Americans have been killed in war by other Americans than by any other group or nation. You know, in the American Civil War. All you need is bipolar politics with raging animosity which tends to attrach all issues to it, a lot of hate generated and vented, let it stew for enough years, and then have a catalyse that sets it ablaze. Those troops won't think of their targets as other Ameircans, they'll think of them as the hated enemy.
There is a sweet spot between paranoia and complacency in which all reasonable men should dwell.
The State is a wild animal that must be kept on a leash, yet can do great good when properly trained and handled correctly.
The State is a bunch of (mostly) men with power both temporary and semi-permanent who have certain ideals and doctrines and it is them who individually and collectively do all the good and bad that "the State" does. Keep them on a lease? How about expecting more of them? How about not having the process by which some are chosen a series of high-priced advertised insults? And what about those other bunches of men with power, private power, the ones not elected nor part of a service with stated high principles? What about them?
And then they alternate between fitting either way and not fitting at all. Obviously what we see is a malluable 3-dimension slice of a complex multidimensional object that is rotated by the one multidimensional manipulation tool we currently possess: the tumble dryer.
Start with a summary short paragraph. No more than 3 paragraphes with 9 reasonable sentences. Link to a well written white paper for those who want more.
Nevertheless, if I were a billionaire intent on blowing money, I could think of worse ways to spend it than a dinosaur hunting expedition to Antarctica.
You may want to check the last time something like this was tried. There's always the possibility of a downside.
I favour emacs too. I also know enough vi to get along when working on a machine with vi and no emacs. And don't belittle those who've decided to go with vi as their primary editor.
Regular warfare is about defeating an opponent with force. Defeating means they mostly cease to resist in some areas and somewhat give into what the victor wants. Few wars are as complete unconditional surrenders as World War 2 was.
At any age only a small fraction of students can truly learn well on their own. And any student has a better chance with a good teacher. To quote Isaac Asimov (from a differrent matter) this is like trying to cure diarrhoea by modifying the plumbing; it's not dealing with the real problems.
Doesn't work without telling NoScript to run its scripts. Then its scripts freeze your browser every now and then. And you have to keep killing the process to recover all the memory lost to leaks.
Can't aim well through an atmosphere and at useful ranges, the beam will disperse (see Gausian beam on how the wavefront changes from planar to spherical), and there's insufficient energy delivered to significantly affect the target.
Like that really worked for Brittain when they failed to properly vette a generation of intelligence officers in the 1930's and 1940's. And ended up having to do it all post-haste in the 1960's and 1970's. And when the United States cheerfully trained and armed a large number of irregular soldiers in Latin America and Asia in the 1980's. And are still fighting their remnants in the Wars on Drugs and Terror.
Well, I was standing in a hospital emergency several hours after the initial service loss, watching the staff fall back on paper systems. And many commonly used services, like finding out what medications a patient was on by checking a shared database used by pharmacists, were unavailable. No single event like this outage should have degraded all this services to uselessness.
Reading the article they did get court orders. Too bad the TB hospital was closed and there wasn't enough funding for proper medical staff.
Democrat delenda est.
About your quote and its relationship to the original, "Carthagio delenda est." You do know that later Romans consider their wanton destruction of Carthagio in the 3rd Punic War to be a pivotal event in the decline of their republic, don't you?

Why bother to have switches at all when you can have lights controlled by your smart phone?
As well....
The power's been out and your smart phone is dead. Or you've just come home with a dead smart phone.
Someone's cracked the crap security on the wireless light control protocol and has turned your house into a pulsing light extravaganza.
Has the light bulb come on yet?
I wonder if there are sharks around the island. There have to be sharks.
Don't forget the frickin' lasers.
the real question is, where are people going? bioshock infinite? chains & dragons? It remains to be seen...
They are going... OUTSIDE.

That's no excuse, Citizen, for double-plus ungood badthoughts!

Except Tricky Dicky kept all the good stuff to himself for his own future purposes.
