But you're right about the assumption: why would you believe that non-mainstream media wouldn't stretch the truth* just because the mainstream media does.
*I don't like the phrase, "alter the truth" because that implies that they're actually presenting the truth that they've somehow actually changed, rather than something other than the truth, or my personal favorite: something true but misleading.
Of course.. if you can smuggle the torque wrench in, you might as well smuggle in the pick.
Medeco's keys have a special feature in that the bitting on them (the peaks and valleys) is cut at different angles and different offsets (spacing). The patented, integrated design works so that the bitting performs two functions, lifting the pins and rotating them.
If that means what I think it means, it's completely worthless against a pick. A pick doesn't care about how far apart the pins are, only that they're not perfectly in a line, thus allowing them to be set one at a time, turning an exponential process into a linear one.
Schlage's drum-shaped "high security" pins are a much better solution.
Or better yet, not pretending the classic pinned locks are security devices at all.
Ubuntu's colors are "Starbucks"* Orange & Brown. Or a close-up of an elephant's side.
*I don't know if Starbucks invented the color scheme, but they sure did use it to death. And every "trendy" mass-market "bistro" repeats the refrain ad nauseum.
" Now the planes are crammed to overflowing all the time. Even if the total cost of flying has more than doubled, I would have thought it possible to make money in the industry, especially with the government handouts and liability shelter the airlines get. "
I strongly suspect they've hired some of Hollywood's accountants. Keep in mind that they don't get the handouts unless they can claim (with the minimum standard of dubious logic) losses.
Heck, I'd be liable to book through Expedia/Orbitz/whatever instead of (say) United's site, even for a markup,
It's marked up. About $8 when I last compared to Delta (logged in with skymiles number). If it was just the $8, I might even have bought through Orbitz. Their front end is extremely easy-to-use, and very responsive. But Delta was also offering something like DOUBLE frequent-flyer miles for going through their website at the time, and a tenth of a free ticket is pretty hard to pass up.
Southwest, one of the few airlines to everactually post a profit (though there is probably some hollywood accounting in there for the other airlines), also does tiered pricing.
There's no such thing as "price-gouging" and in fact, airlines have found a relatively elegant solution to the problem of finding the market price for their product: set increasing prices for all of the seats and sell the cheapest ones first, until departure or sold out.
That practically guarantees that there will be seats available for those desperate enough.
Shortages are *always* due to a failure of prices to rise to market-clearing levels.
Although, the likely explanation for that is that life was more uniformly distributed and at some point, the ones with the commonalities happened to out reproduce the others a little. It wouldn't even take all that much if it's a positive feedback, and the way living things "recycle" the bits of other living things they've eaten, it probably is. (i.e. it takes less energy to convert or filter if the food already contains the proteins you need in abundance)
And you continued to honor the NDA after leaving because..why? I mean, it's one thing not to go to another company or the press, but surely any bits in the agreement forbidding you from discussions with attorneys general would be unenforceable.
isopropanol is incorrect, at least according to my chemistry professor. There's some kind of explanation that describes the organic chemistry nomenclature, but it's fun to say and people who understand a bit of chemistry will know what you're talking about regardless.
Indeed. Why history is replete with examples of the notable pacifism in the middle east for over 1800 years prior to the development of practical heat engines which made petroleum so valuable.
Moss, clover, dwarf grass to name a few. But most things won't do very well in the desert *anyway*. Better choices probably include aloe and agave in those circumstances.
True, but I'd suggest that a manual key exchange is preferable to a UN controlled key server, particularly given the small number countries in the world (you can count them all with only two hands!) and it seems that 45 nations agree with me.
Mass production, so you can have a stockpile of the things. You don't want to have to design and build the probe when you need it. And since you don't know how much you're going to need, a lot of identical units is both more flexible and more robust than a single monster tug.
You make some good points, however the fact is that if she doesn't do some jail time, she's going to be at significant risk of mortal vigilante "justice."
The courts may very well be stuck between some very terrible choices. What would you choose?
True, however in the case of a gravity tug, your maximum useful thrust is limited by the gravitational interaction, which is limited by how close you can get. Landing takes one of the variables away, and trades it for the ones you mentioned. If it's solid, your maximum effective thrust can be very high, even if you can only use it a shorter percent of the time.
In specific cases, landers probably would be more effective. But gravity tugs are a much better general solution, and mass-production favors general solutions.
And depending on the distance (though further away poses problems for the gravity-part) the object can subtend a small portion of the exhaust "pattern."
Further, directly above is not the only option. Halo orbits of a single body require constant thrust to maintain, which is actually quite ideal for the situation at hand: allowing the gravity tug to get closer to the center of mass (cos(phi)/r^2 is better than 1/r^2 when you can have a smaller r) and keep the body out of the way of the preferred thrust direction.

No free radicals, you mean. Which is why Chinese always look so healthy and young.
foxnews is part of the mainstream media.

Tail is better than head, anyway. Also, less is better than more. (in fact, you can do more with less if you know the right arguments).

Oh.. wait.. that's not quite right. You want single-carbon with two double-bonded hydrogens.

The problem with the soap box is that most of the people using it discard the soap...
New machine, new private key. The old public keys wouldn't just disappear, so it's not like existing passports would cease to function.

You are presuming that landing is possible. The object in question might be a loosly-conglomerated gravitationally bound pile of rocks and dust.
