China has no capability to attack the US except via nukes. The same is certainly not true in reverse.
Check out Marathon, Salamis, Lepanto, or even the fate of the Japanese in WW II for examples of what happens to Eastern dictatorships that attack Western powers. I'd give more examples, but really since Lepanto the Japanese have been the only Eastern power to even try. I suppose you could count Saddam in for fun, though his action was more of a bluff gone wrong than a real attack.
I wouldn't give the Chinese 1% odds of even establishing a beachhead, let alone winning a war with the US. Thanks for the laugh though.
Look, the earth is cooling, not getting warmer. In a billion years or so geologic activity will cease, the water will seep into the crust and the biosphere will die.
The only thing that could cause large parts of the surface to become molten would be a collision with a LARGE mass.
Sure there will be geologic events, maybe even large ones (like yellowstone having a supervolcanic moment), but nothing that will melt the continental masses.
Actually, it's playing out the last days of the Republic scenario. All you need is some good internal strife or a credible external threat, and a Caesar to take charge. Then you can play American Empire for 4 or 5 hundred years until the true last days.
If IIS's market share ever reaches a critical point (probably 80-85%), you can guarantee that the next version of IIS and IE will only work with each other.
And then all the Windows desktop users will upgrade, and then Microsoft will have won, because anyone still running a non-IIS web server will be screwed.
Also, the US made a conscious decision to expend materials - equipment, fuel, ammunition, rather than lives wherever possible.
Patton killed or captured something like 1.5 million Germans while losing less than 200,000 of his own men - that's a hell of an achievement.
Similar methods were used throughout the Pacific, flamethrower squads, massive naval and aerial bombardment, etc. all at very high material cost.
Of course the big battles against Germany were fought in the east, and the Russians did most of the work. But a lot of their equipment was coming from the US too, as was much of the equipment used by the British.
The Government says you can't do something - guys with guns come and take you away if you do it.
Walmart says you can't do something - you shop somewhere else, or sell your product somewhere else.
There is absolutely no comparison.
Besides, Walmart isn't restricting _you_, they are restricting their vendors. That the magazine or record label decides to comply in order to make a sale is not a restriction of free speech.
The craft will most certainly not be accelerating or decelerating the entire trip. They boost it up to speed, coast, then slow it down on the other end, just like any other rocket trip.
They could rotate the crew compartments, or swing the whole things around on a big tether though, which would provide a reasonably G environment.
That may be the case with current spammers, but let me tell you something. The Direct Marketing Association (ie. the same set of companies that fill your snail mail box daily) wants to spam bad. They haven't done too much yet because of the current negative aura surrounding spamming.
What they have done though is prevented the passage of any real law that would stop them from spamming in the future. That's why nothing has really been done in the US.
spam has probably pissed off more people than Jehovah's Witnesses going door to door, maybe even more than IRS auditors. And all in a much shorter time span. Flogging is the least accceptable punishment at this point.

Unfortunately you need both. It takes a lot of electricity to make the hydrogen to power all those fuel cells. Unlike the free ride we get from oil, hydrogen is costly.
1) Do you really imagine the cops would get there in time to help you in any case? Cops have no legal requirement to save you. They'll try hard, surely, but you and only you are responsible for your own safety.
2) Cops can always enter a premise where they have a reasonable belief a crime is being committed. A call to 911 from that premise would certainly give them that reasonable belief.
Yes it's a coincidence. ISP's block outbound 25 to keep their $20/month dialup lusers from raping relays all over the world, as well as from sending direct to MX spam.

lol. Like in Korea. Oh, wait, nm ...

That would rule out Mercury. And Titan would suddenly be a planet instead of a moon.
300 million years or so I believe. Not very long really.

hehe glad I'm not the only one who has said "lol" out loud.

Because at rush hour the cops are busy pulling dead bodies out of SUV's. At 2 in the morning they're bored and looking to fill their ticket quotas.
Anyone who thinks that speed limits and speed enforcement are somehow related to actual safety concerns is misguided.
The point is this:

Yes. If God did this, he started off with one single-cell organism several billion years ago.
Everything else evolved from there.
The spammers won't actually use it.
Linux has supported smbfs for aeons. the mount syntax is goofy but it works fine.

you really don't get it.

If the US hadn't been involved Stalin would have taken ALL of Europe, not just the eastern half.
The would be the fort ideally placed to blockade the harbour of the separating state? Yeah, can't imagine why the state wanted to take that.
Like Lincoln wouldn't have invaded in any case.
Perhaps because, unlike communists, those other parties don't strongly advocate and work towards the violent takeover of their government? Hmmm ...
Lawyers send stuff around by E-mail all the time. And no, they have no idea how to make it secure.

And monitoring Americans' E-mail and phone conversations would have prevented which of those attacks, exactly?
24 hours? Cops monitor calls for weeks or months sometimes while building a case.
