Oh, we were fed the same line when I was in the US Army. Snopes says 'no', and to be honest I think any suppression was due to exhaustion from four hours of sleep and twenty hour training days.
That's how I remember basic training/AIT. A big day in the Army started at 0330, and the drill instructors seemed to think you'd wasted 3 and a half hours already on something as trivial as sleep.
Conditioning, you either choose or refuse, conditioning is just an excuse of the morally weak. As for mutant powers. There is no way psychopath leaders could ever trust their minions with those powers beyond the fantasies of Hollywood. Psychopaths would only allow themselves those powers but they would not really trust genetic scientists to experiment on them. So all in all, reality is, it is a catch 22.
Which is why psychopaths like automated killing machines so much. Death by a drone fired missile, with a propaganda based 100% perfect track record of murdering, under law innocent suspects (innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, the law is the law and propaganda is just bullshit).
Sounds like you've never been in the military. The GP and GGP are correct. Back in the day, during the draft, if you fought the conditioning, you could get a dishonorable discharge and the Army threatened that if that happened, they'd ruin your life. Sometimes, they'd do it, too.
US didn't loose becasue there was no clearly defined Win.
It's just a pointless circle of action.
The stats from the Feds claim there is more drug activity now than when they started the War on Drugs. More being smuggled in, more people using them, That constitutes a loss in my book. Of course, any drug stats from the Feds might be highly inflated to keep the cash flowing to their buddies/campaign contributors...
It's only illegal because there is so much money to made from the illegal trade. A legal trade would kill profits.
Not to mention the money to be made on the 'legal' side of the street with larger police budgets, more private prisons, the billions of dollars spent in the 'War On Drugs' that the US has clearly lost. It's in their self-interest to keep grass illegal, that's how they make a living.
And yet few want to talk about the root problem here. Too many humans. If we had 1/10 of the human population on earth, there would be far less need to cram animals together, and thus less need for the antibiotics in farming.
What do you expect from people who refuse to believe in the facts of natural selection? The MRSA strain hitting the UK's milk supply is proof positive of natural selection.
That's not the case with a hybrid. In that setup, you have a solid fuel and a liquid oxidizer. By varying the oxidizer feed you can control the thrust.
I have confidence in SpaceX's automation. The first test launch to ISS aborted at T-0, the onboard computer detected a fault and shut the whole damned bird down. They safed it and checked it out and found the problem and fixed it. SpaceX did something seriously right.
Solid+Liquid can be the best way to go performance-wise, although there's that cost penalty from heterogeneity.
The problem with solid fuel rockets is, you can't turn it off and back on once you light it. With the proper engineering, you can with a liquid fueled rocket.
... the logical conclusion to the perpetual copyright dilema. You no longer 'own' anything, not even your own genome. You merely 'license' it for a time, with the license revokable at any time by the 'true copyright holder'.
And they wonder why there are Pirate Partys in most of the 'free world' these days. Perpetual copyright is evil, it locks away ideas that could have been used to make future ideas as an amalgam of current ideas.
What a marvelous idea. We'll just hide in this handy cave and watch TV until the zombies have all eaten each other. After that we can come out and someone will be ready with McDonalds and Starbucks waiting for us.
Cave??? Is THAT what they call your parents' basement these days???
... I'd read something in Pop Sci/Mech a few years back about DARPA trying to develope this same concept. Damned if I can remember when, but it ain't a new concept for DARPA...
I'd think Brandenburg vs Ohio would be one king hell of a defense for anybody that took a swing at the WBC whackjobs. Tack on a conspiracy to incite a riot charge against WBC and it's win-win for the people.
Killing no, but these people will all die eventually (just a hole in the dirt - hate to alarm them) and their crusade dies down with them. Will they be gone? No. But as their followers also die off, their message will fade.
IIRC, the orginal Phelps is already dead. Doesn't seem to me that their 'message' has faded a bit. And since their 'followers' are actually all family, and engaged in the family business (and let's not kid ourselves, this is a business), I don't see it 'fading' until the business is disbanded or the family all dies. Anyone care to take a stab at how many generations that's gonna take?
It depends on the case. In some cases, yes. In WBC's case, the LEOs should just arrest them all on conspiracy to incite a riot. Should be plenty of evidence of past protests ending in violence to support the charges, and conspiracy is pretty easy to prove if you put out a press release saying you'll be sending a protest someplace.
If you're leaving Windows because of the Metro UI, you probably don't want to be a lab rat for Ubuntu's Unity experiment either.
Ubuntu used to be the go-to distro for newbies, but these days I tell the Li-curious to check out Kubuntu or Mint.
Come to think of it, if you don't like crapware, or indeed if you're a sane and decent human being, you probably won't like Amazon ads in your program launcher either, so Mint it is.
How far the kind-of-crappy-but-almost-user-friendly-enough-for-grandma has fallen.:(
I'm indifferent to Unity simply because I never used it much. I've been a *box fan for ages, starting out with the old Blackbox 0.4.x series way the hell back when, after trying it out and replacing FVWM/FVWM95 with it. I currently use the Lubuntu cut, with stock Ubuntu and Kubuntu and even Xbuntu installed, just for the libs and the software. For the desktop, I use LXDE. Love it, even though it does remind me a bit of Windows XP.
I recently installed Lubuntu as a secondary OS on my brother in law's laptop for him He likes it.
After dealing with many problems, I still had an amateur OS with skype, weather, stock quotes and other totally irrelevant crap.
Skype doesn't come pre-installed, so you had to volitionally install it from the store. Moreover, even the pre-installed metro apps can be un-installed with two mouse clicks from the start screen, so if you were left with those you can't have been too worried about them.

I get in IRC every now & then. Still in CN, though. 6 years now. WTF am I thinking???

apt-get install alien
SOMETIMES alien works right and rebuilds a package that works. But in my experience, it doesn't bring along the dependencies. NOT good.
Yeah, I seen that picture on FB. Australia is GONE, but at least they have wifi in Hell!

on Curiosity and are just about ready to go... http://imgur.com/VWcAU :o)
That doesn't look like Jimmy Hoffa to me...
... this means I'll get back $1 for every 20 I kicked into the system since 1969?
A million Canadians? Really?! And you say it's illegal? Oh kaaay...
That's what, 1 of every 30 Canadians?
It's no more illegal than bringing home a bootleg CD bought on the streets of Karachi.
A crime punishable by 30 years in the electric chair under new copyright legislation.
Not to mention, they stick your heirs with the electric bill.
