(really; minimalistic, amount and type of chrome finally reasonable)
Though tbh I wonder more when we'll see "iPhone nano" and "iPod Touch nano" (yeah, I think it's more when than if). This year the tech should be there to have something comparable to, say, iPhone 3G; small amount of storage and cheap ARM (Cortex-A5 showed up recently) under the hood, lower quality and perhaps slightly smaller screen, many colors, smaller in two dimensions (outline more closely following the screen) but much more chubby; hence making this "leaked" model (which is even thinner than previous one...) more "sexy", more "desirable".
I would imagine that any sensible pulse sensor has the capacity of reporting "battery dying, not the user". Likewise, any serious app monitoring it will be able to recognise "out of range" from "user died".
b) have significantly lower volume to mass ratio than our reentry vehicles (hence what you propose, essentially - quite small amounts of drag per the unit of energy carried (which is also higher generally thanks to a)))
c) enter the atmosphere typically at much more steep angle
All in all, often still carrying lots of energy when hitting denser atmosphere. Where they lose large part of their mass to ablation, often shatter. We don't want to do that with our vehicles.
You want to lose as much of the speed as possible in the initial stages of reentry, high in the atmosphere; before you hit the dense parts. In those higher areas the lift to keep you up there longer could only be produced basically almost at orbital speeds...while what you want to do is slow down.
Shuttle actually "flies" in a quite un-aerodynamic position through large part of reentry preciselly to maximise drag.
I think hypochondriacs find enough of causes to worry already...
But yeah, that's what I mean - health monitoring; so important changes won't go easily unnoticed and help will be immediatelly dispatched in a case of emergency.
So why the need for the paper if it's such a community?
Or maybe the papers just found a way to extract money from something which, over time, was established as a proper thing to do? (to be fair, predatory practices around funerals are rampant all around)
So, the need to propagate such news (from a disposal home) through a newspaper and not by, say, word of mouth...is actually a testament of better face-to-face friendships or relations generally?
Well, condemning some symptoms of abnormal sexualities, those which most of them don't share anyway, might be a useful way of convincing oneself that your supressed and dysfunctional sexuality is all great.
I'd say that producing induviduals not being able to independently handle life is also useful...
So...few badly thought out, isolated cases vs....for example one firmly US phenomena of sexualising, to ridiculous degrees, mainstream teen "musical" acts?
Haven't it ever crossed your mind that perhaps too significant portion of adults secretly (or more preciselly even not admitting it to themselves) hates adolescents? "Oh, so you think you can have it better than we did?! And while at it you have the nerve of emanating with your youth around us, now that our has long passed?!"
It would seem so, essentially. IMHO forcing people to supress their "unpure" urges has also one, important for the continuity of such communities, mechanism behind it - sexuality is a very powerfull (and normal) force in us; especially at formative years. If one has to subdue it...well, there's a lot of mental twisting with oneself involved, trying to construct internally a reason (outlines of which the community gladly provides). Somebody who passed through this has a chance of honestly valuing what happened (no other choice if wanting to remain sane), standing behind it for the remainder of life, and passing it on.
But examples of happy people who don't share such experience are mighty inconvenient...
Always remember though that "it" was, in the case of Germany, simply "finally allowing them to succeed". It really must be stressed that Germany paid much more for occupation (that's right, they covered the costs of occupation) + reparations ( + intellectual assets lost) annually than the total amount of aid they received (most of which in their case had to returned)
Compare that with the UK, getting much more extensive aid and...in an economic crisis during Wirtschaftswunder.
East Germany is a similar story actually - it also had rather respactable growth. But the Soviets milked them much longer, to much greater extent.
The brutal conditions imposed on Germany after the war made his rise possible. And you can be sure that leaders of the US in WW II knew that as well, which is why they took a completely different approach to Germany after victory. Instead of making them wallow in suffering, rebuild the country to democratic standards and market prosperity.
That is incorrect. Look up JCS 1067. Allies quite openly wanted to essentially starve large part of German population (they activelly prevented food aid from some neighbouring European countries). Plus all German industrial base, patents, etc. was for the taking. German POWs quickly reclassified to fall outside protection of conventions. Steps which could improve economy - forbidden. This changed only after few years, because...
...the communists were waiting for their opportunity of we did not.
That was the primary reason for sudden change of heart. So Germany won't fall, whole, into Soviet Block. And still, any aid Germany received (also, for them it was only a loan) was dwarfed by war reparations.
You paint it in a bit simplistic "official" fashion though...war was on the brink for a few years already (with the complex balancing dance between empires happening on the Balkans). Killing of Ferdinand was mostly just a trigger (he wasn't even especially liked in Austria ffs!...)
Slashdot Mirror
Lately it has become rather overkill for that, though...
And I like it. So there...

People have become dependant on air travel to the point of addicition. If some airlines will give them opportunity to fly, they will.
You noticed that the story is about US locals doing those thing to alien working for them, right?
Meteorites
a) are speedier
b) have significantly lower volume to mass ratio than our reentry vehicles (hence what you propose, essentially - quite small amounts of drag per the unit of energy carried (which is also higher generally thanks to a)))

So...why did you seem trying to protect its existence?...
Was there any doubt that microbes own our planet and merely tolerate us? (heck, more bacterial DNA in your body than human one...)
I think I would actually prefer that to, say, hairy man posing as highschool girls on the internet.
prone to error, but hey, who can knock the living dead?
All hail zombies everywhere!
Yup, all the more fun ;>
And TBH I'm kinda awaiting unobtrusive logging and monitoring of (many) vital signs, round the clock...

Pulse sensor connected via BT with smartphone, which can send preset message to twitter? That's...easily doable.

Well, you know what teens want to do? That's right, things which early-20ish people do.
So...few badly thought out, isolated cases vs. ...for example one firmly US phenomena of sexualising, to ridiculous degrees, mainstream teen "musical" acts?

I imagine parachute won't help much at the typical, quite low, altitude such things will be often used...
Though yeah, there's bound to be some contingency (unfortunatelly?); emergency landing rockets for example.

Everybody was preparing for the war back then. Everybody.
