this is why we need to get over using history as a reason for getting pissed and instead learn from history what happens when you continue resentment.
Right. But if that learning has the potential to contradict tribal history (see Kennewick Man) archaeological sites have to be closed, bulldozed over and remains returned to tribes. Because tribal memory* that says they were 'always there', can't be questioned.
*Funny how accurate tribal knowledge is when it comes to origins. But they lost track of a village and cemetery that was occupied as late as 1930 (and had been for 2700 years). Until the state started doing some construction and found the graves. The state opened the project up for public comments and nobody said diddly until bodies started popping up.
We didn't occupy Afghanistan when some of their guests flew airplanes into our buildings. We even gave them the opportunity to turn the miscreants over and avoid military action.
As far as Iraq is concerned, Saddam should have known better than to try and go around US oil companies and sell directly to the EU, China and all. And accept payment in Euros instead of dollars. Who does he think runs the world economy anyway?
It has been known for some time that there have been terrorist groups based in Molenbeek. After the Paris attacks, it was a pretty good bet that there would be further attacks or police operations in and around that area.
Stick shift. So that eliminates some thieves right there. Manual choke. Most thieves were not alive when one had to know how to start a car with one of these.
And if I want to be really nasty, I'll disable the electric starter and use the crank handle that fits into the crank pulley (yes, my truck has one of these).
That article is talking about closing just the prison and transferring the prisoners somewhere else. Funds for that are indeed restricted. I'm talking about closing the entire Guantanamo base. Returning the Navy and marine personnel and weapons to the USA and just unlocking the prison doors on the way out.
This is why there are a zillion 747s and no more Concordes.
Actually, the fact that there are zillions of 747s is what kept TWA Flight 800 from grounding the fleet. Too large an economic impact on the airline industry. With the Concorde, it was a dozen aircraft.
So the question is not if a hypersonic transport can be built,
Mach 2.2 is a long ways away from hypersonic. It's old tech by now.
Then when we see pictures of large hypersonic planes where huge bits are torn open and the plane successfully made it to the ground we will not only feel safe to fly in them,
Been there, done that. The Valkyrie test plane #1 suffered from several events of skin delamination and other structural problems. They landed it, diagnosed the problems and fixed them on the #2 aircraft. Lessons learned that are old tech by now.
How fast does that data make it into the law enforcement system? Because if they all purchase cards hours before an attack and a flag doesn't pop up at that time, it's too late. Remember; these people are planning on blowing themselves up.
We may need a criminal background check done before authorizing a phone/SIM card sale.
That could be a problem if they are particularly 'smart'. But I've found that giving them an AP ID/password to a WiFi router that isn't actually plugged into any broadband usually shuts them up. And the advantage of living on a pretty large estate is that the next nearest node is well out of range of WiFi technology.
Paying for what? When you rotate personnel out of a base, you just don't send any replacements in. Those funds already exist, and I suspect that Congress would have to completely defund the military to prevent personnel from being moved.
My preferred method of loading my Kindle anyway. After a few instances* of Amazon pulling material off of Kindles, I'd just rather not have them rooting around on my devices.
*Granted, this hasn't happened for a while to my knowledge. But people have long memories when they get screwed over.
Try spotting them. Sociopaths excel at manipulation. If you don't have the skills to spot them and they get in, you put yourself at risk trying to get them back out.
This is one reason that actual, licensed engineers have a strict code of ethics. Problem: Software 'engineering' doesn't fall under most states' PE licensing laws. So a lot of the bad actors tend to gravitate toward that profession.
Obama is Commander In Chief. He can actually order the troops of the base. What would happen to the prisoners is the big question. Last marine out unlocks the cells and the front gate. And Cuba has to deal with them. Republican lawmakers can't do squat if Obama issues a direct order. Their military buddies will either comply or get their own orange jumpsuits in Leavenworth, KS.
... their results for "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought", I'm wouldn't place too much faith in their selections. Unless it has a good return policy.
Oops. You are right. However, I still like the idea of a thinner plug, even with 8 pins, that can be adapted to an old RJ-45 jack with a simple plastic clip. Connector width isn't so much a problem with thin laptops, tablets, etc. It's thickness that makes the jack tough to design around.
How about a smaller plug with 4 contacts (RX pair and TX pair). But make it with the same contact pitch as the RJ-45 and include a space to correspond to the RJ-45 pin 3 (unused for Ethernet). Then, make a plastic backshell that snaps onto the new connector, making it as thick and wide as the old RJ-45. So it will plug into older equipment.

That was the good news. The bad news is that its still Xfinity service, with Xfinity support and more than likely Xfinity TOU.

There, there Mr Baldwin. Please just turn off your phone and prepare for takeoff.
Congress controls the purse strings, and can refuse to pay for whatever it wishes.
When the last marine leaves, there will be nothing to pay for regardless.

You now need to show government issued id

Yeah. They are called reading glasses. And I need a new prescription every few years. Either that or longer arms.

Obama can't close Guantanamo prison camp

But what if we got payed for our attention?
We are being paid. In cute cat videos. Don't like those rates? Sorry, because the world is full of people willing to 'work' for cute cat videos.
