Question marks mark questions. Most fifth graders can manage distinguishing between when to use a period or a question mark. Which must mean you're a fourth grader.
"Princess Leia's home Planet was Organa, had always been Organa, and her father was waiting for her on Organa before Tarkin blew it all to hell, and he WAS NOT Vader. I know; she would have referred to him as her father and not her step father"
The proof of this theory would be in which versions of the story were first, the movies, the books or the radio show.
It seems logical that to hide Leia from Vader that her adoptive dad wouldn't tell anyone, even her, who her father was. They wouldn't have named her Leia Skywalker Tatooine. Or Leia Skywalker Organa. According to the movie only her adoptive parents and Obi Wan (and maybe a hospital bot) knew who had Leia.
It (the story) didn't end with 3. It ended with 6. We saw the middle third and then the first third. There's a different vibe from doing 1, 2, 3,... vs. 4, 5, 6, 1.... In the order of movie release we see 1-3 as the set up/explanation of 4-6. Sort of a retro foreshadowing. Otherwise it would have been a linear build up. We wouldn't be looking at the helmets of the army of the republic and saying "Ooooooooh, Storm troopers!". It would be just the costumes evolving between movies. We wouldn't have cared a wit about Jango or Boba Fett in 1-3.
Teachers, like parents can't be friends with students/their children.
Friends are supposed to be equals, these other relationships are not.
Teachers and students can be friends only when the student has left that school. Parents and kids can only be friends when the kid has left home. Otherwise it's entirely inappropriate.
So is it the wasted mass that matters most? Is there a diminishing return on disposable rockets? Building the same rockets over and over, vs having part of the rocket be reusable (the cabin). Would we be able to do as much in capsules as we could in a shuttle? Could they stay up there a week or more in a capsule AND do experiments?
i'm asking because i don't know. Seems like the capsule method would be very limiting. Even if there was less cost in getting stuff up there, once something was in place, would they be able to do anything? How long could they stay? How many rockets with capsules would we have to launch to do the same amount of research and payload delivery?
Upmass? Did you intuitize that transterminologicalism or did someone else jargonify it before you?
This is why it's stupid to add pre- to whatever the fuck people feel like. Pre-prepared is redundant. "Pre-heat" while not redundant is just plain stupid. Before an oven is heated it is room temperature: a preheated oven is ROOM TEMPERATURE. You can't pre-smoke a cigarette. You are: going to smoke it, you are smoking it, you have smoked it. Most fifth graders can conjugate verbs. i don't know why adults have such trouble with it.
Pre- turns events (nouns) into adjectives. Dawn is an event (which is a noun). If we want to say that something happened before dawn we add pre- to it. The invasion began in the pre-dawn darkness. The event of dawn is now an adjective to describe the darkness. So stop adding it to verbs folks.
Indeed. Though we might realize people have less free will than religion/spirituality has suggested, we as a society can still lock up people who break social contract.
In Robot Wars they were remote controlled cars with armor and weapons. A show about actual robots fighting would be AWESOME (once they get them to actually work).
Which would be fine if there were systems in place to give the 1000 equal power to the 1. Or to at least protect the 1000 from the 1. As it is, we have corporatism, where law/gov't serves only the 1 and facilitates the exploitation of the 1000. The 1000 can't lynch the 1 (legally). The 1000 can't quit without putting their families at great risk.
The happy medium seems to be having strong laws to protect workers and making essential services provided by the gov't so companies can't interfere. Then companies can try to make a profit, but are limited in how deeply they can fuck their workers and customers (and the air they breath, the food they eat and the water they drink).
Aside from the meaningful TLDs like.mil,.edu and.gov.... get rid of them. If we're going to have a.xxx TLD, make rules that ALL pr0n be hosted at such. If you own pr0n.com it can be a SfW site that links to pr0n.xxx. The only reason to have.xxx is if it is going to be meaningful/useful.
We don't need CocaCola.com the soda site and CocaCola.us the pr0n site.

Companies obtain revenue by coercion. Take a loan to buy a house, or use a few hundred kilowatt hours of power and then try to not pay for it. They'll coerce the shit out of you to get their money. Or they coerce you by threatening to withhold goods or services until you pay.
Taxes are rent for living in a country. For an American, your taxes pay for the roads you drive, the schools you and your neighbors attended, police to protect you from your more annoying and violent neighbors and a military to keep foreigners from taking over and so on.
It's absurd to think that you should be able to selfishly benefit from what that revenue provides without paying for it. If you don't like paying taxes, become a company or rich. They don't pay shit.
Do you feel that you're being coerced by your landlord or the bank who owns you home loan?
It's not coercion, IT'S SOCIAL FUCKING CONTRACT. To get shelter you pay your rent or your mortgage. Living in a city, state or nation is no different. The state provides services, you pay. If you don't like it, go live in a cave.
Free will seems to be exaggerated. Largely by religious types who think we are bags of meat driven around by cherubs. The truth is that the meat is driving around the meat.
Pump in the right combination of chemicals and an easy going guy can turn into an asshole, and vice versa. In the early 20s the part of the brain that does most of the thinking moves from the emotional area to the more logic area (that can forsee consequences). This explains why teens are so passionate and everything is either the greatest thing in the world ever, or the worst. We can look at brain scans and say... that guy is a sociopath.
Which is not to say that we shouldn't lock away our most amusing citizens, we should. But we should also work toward understanding why people do things. With that knowledge we might be able to shape behavior toward the better. Maybe prevent people from becoming criminals in the first place.
Our prisons are packed with AD(H)D. Maybe with early detection and treatment we could see fewer criminals.
1) Eric, it can be both, an advertising system AND a social network 2) So what? i'm not a paranoid nutjob. i can handle my shit.
If the service is free you are the product. Just like TV and Radio. i'm the product, i know this and i'm fine with it. It beats paying for Classmates.com.
Slashdotters,
Unbunch your panties about G+. Stop insulting everyone who isn't as paranoid as you. Some of us have friends and LIKE being in contact with other real human beings. Pseudonymous sites like/. and fark have their place. Social networks have theirs. Get over it. Get over yourselves.
Seriously, their a terrible idea and this shows why. We don't need to create problems like WhiteHouse.com vs..gov. Creating problems is just plain stupid.
The only TLDs that should exist might be those that are meaningful like edu, gov, org and mil. The rest are crap. Get rid of them./sophomoric excuse making in 3... 2... 1....
This is class warfare. If they can make schools bad enough private schools will gain sway, public schools will lose. Parents will have to choose between rent and sending their kids to school. Soon you'll have an army of ignorant, hopeless, helpless kids. Kids you can turn into soldiers or slaves.
All this to avoid the rich paying just a little bit more and to hurt the brown and poor.

Ah, the General Theory of Pork Relativity:

Pretty sure the jamming a signal is an aggressive act. It's the reason we don't have jammer planes orbiting NK 24/7.

i'm not blaming you for this.

Where prostitution and gambling are not only legal, they're MANDATORY!

i prefer:
In Soviet Russia, government controls the commerce....
We haven't really seen communism in action on a large scale. We've seen communist flavored plutocracies and dictatorships.
Do not look at supernova with remaining good eye.

Have the sequenced any incomplete lizards?
"The point of leaking is to expose malfeasance"
Or to hurt someone you don't like or disagree with. Maybe a boss, ex or gov't.
"Maybe this is too?"
What is this question asking? It doesn't parse.
No need to pre-screen them, just screen them.
