There is a lot more than 3 hours of astronomy per year - you are forgetting the slew of Horizons, Sky at Nights, and all the rest. Also the BBC is mandated to produce a certain amount of factual, educational TV, which commercial stations (bar Channel 4) are exempt from, letting them chase after the easy buck. But I digress.
Put it in the kitchen and use it for showing recipes, online food shopping, Skype calls, watching TV on while cooking, quickly check emails, etc.. It's a good idea, even if you lack the imagination to see how others might put it to good use.
You have no expectation of privacy in public, which is why we have those two words: "private" and "public". A camera looking at your door is the same as someone just standing on the street looking at said door.
We are talking about how a star (which we can clearly measure) interacts with an atmosphere (which, again, we can clearly measure). Nothing as small or dark as Pluto needs to be measured to figure out what the "sunset" looks like. Comparing the two is highly specious. Not being able to directly image a dark, tiny rock is a lot different to being able to detect the atmosphere of a planet and the output of a (relatively) very bright star.
I guess it's best to leave this stuff to the professionals;)
"Riding on the backs of the public"? They're the future of the public, unless you want society to be full of people without college degrees. Your view of society is ridiculously selfish and short-sighted. No wonder you think the way you do.
Abject fucking bullshit. Seatbelts are far safer than no seatbelts. Yes, in a very unfortunate incident they could cause damage, but in your examples the kids might have probably already been dead if they weren't wearing their seatbelts. Your logic is ridiculously short-sighted. As someone dying in a car crash affects more than just those in the car, it's not up to them whether they should travel safely or not. After all, it's not the person in the car who has to scrape up their own remains after a crash, or treat themselves in a hospital afterwards. You seem to be ignorant of the fact we all live in a society where one person's well-being directly affects others around them. This isn't the wild west - no one has the right to negatively affect those around them, even if you think it's awesome and cool.
Performance doesn't always equal "significant processor resources", fyi. The argument seems to be somewhat above you. As an owner and user of Android, iOS, and WebOS, I can assure you that WebOS did indeed suffer from great performance issues in the UI, such as a lack of response, and an almost complete disability to integrate nicely with the more complicated aspects of the platform's hardware.
Yes! Let's just use gut instinct when trying to appraise the truth! That's a brilliant idea! Or, you could look to the many non-US agencies which all agree that he ran his country into the ground, indirectly feasting on the starved corpses of his alleged people.
Freedom of speech doesn't mean everything everyone says should be met with rapturous applause, just that everyone has the opportunity to say what they want. If a guy wants to be a complete asshole, like that 140 bytes knobhead, then freedom of speech doesn't protect people from calling his ridiculous, tired, childish bullshit out for exactly what it is.
There's a massive difference between "starving yourself" and "maintaining a life of extreme luxury at the expense of your people, even going so far as to use the aid sent to said people to curry favour among his elite supporters". You'd have fitted right in with his cabinet with the bullshit you're spouting. You are a terrible human being, and thankfully your hubris is doing a great job of demonstrating that.
Yes, I'm sure it was terribly difficult to starve millions of his people instead of actually spread the aid he received among the needy. Poor guy. *sniff*.

You considering something as such doesn't make it so.

You must be fun at parties. Your logic is absolutely childish.

He's not saying that. He's saying that racism is racism, and racism is not cool.
It is a £25 Linux PC.
Terrorism is not an act, but a motive. Fighting an army is not terrorism.
It's as funny as someone pissing on the dead body of someone you love, as in: not at all. Oh, and Afghans are not Arabs. You perverted fuck.
The police would tell them to fuck off and stop wasting their time.
Which isn't illegal in most free countries, and I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't care about.

We had mandatory woodworking and metalworking lessons at school, including electronics and other stuff like that. It was pretty useful.
Half a Gigabyte per second, you mean? ;)
True, but I doubt many drones have 83 video feeds, which is what it would take to saturate 500MB/s at 50Mb/s.
And Islam is a many-faceted religion, as all are. Generalisations don't help your cause, in fact they just make you look foolish.

Since SHUT YOUR MOUTH, that's when! Don't try getting this nutjob thinking logically - it doesn't work. He has drunk the Kool-Aid.
You seem to be confusing Windows 8 with a small part of Windows 8.
