Given the size of the plus version, you could certainly strap in on as a sandal. It's got Gorilla Glass and aluminum - pretty strong. A strap, a little padding and you're there.
Many of these rust-belt cities have struggled for so long that suburban sprawl has been quite limited. Many of them have intact urban downtowns that are run-down and many of these towns and cities have been focusing on smart urban renewal of these downtown areas. They won't be making the same mistakes again. And they don't need a whole generation of investment to make them great little places to live.
They still need ongoing jobs. And this is the elephant in the room as far as fracking goes. It's boom-bust all over again.
The money isn't really in the product, the money is really in creating enough buzz to get some other sucker to put his money into a well so that you can cash out. Once that stream of suckers^Hinvestors drops out, the economy drops out. Quickly.
So in ten years you will seen storefronts boarded up again. They won't be storefronts from the 50's and '60s (the last boom and bust cycle), they will have LED lights and fake granite counter tops and old Wifi routers. But they will be boarded up.
Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to – The Outer Limits.
Yup, and now we have higher pneumonia rates as a result. Better for the herd?
The only source I could find that agrees with you is this one which is a small, retrospective study in an isolated area of the world. An interesting theory but I would hesitate to get all wound up about it just yet.
Even if this were to be a general case, you would have to consider this against the background of serious side effects from antibiotics (1:1000), development of resistance, costs and likely some other issues.
Let's face facts that NASA is wasting a lot of earth's resources for little in exchange, considering that the earth is quickly using up valuable energy that is in the non-renewable form. With all of NASA's s scientific and technical savvy, they could be working on much more effective projects that would benefit Planet Earth's burdoned and disappearing resources.
Right you are. A governmental department that spends three quarters of one percent of the US Federal budget is 'wasting a lot of earth's resources". Sorry guy, go whine at the Department of Defense, the Homeland Security Department or the Bureau of Land Mismanagement if you want to chip away at wasted resources.
And, in point of fact, NASA does spend a lot of it's money on earth observation. Of all of those nifty satellites that catalog said resources, most of them come from NASA.
That's not true at all. There are a number of laws regulating model aircraft. And the community has managed to stay within the FAA's good graces by (generally) not pushing the limits or rubbing any painful little areas on the FAA's corporate skin. Model rocketry has been the same and it seems to be rather similar to the FCC's relationship with Amateur radio. Play nice, work under the radar, be happy with what we give you. Don't make pests out of yourselves.
But allowing commercial use opens up whole new containers of slimy invertebrates. The FAA has said they will come up with rules for commercial use of UAVs. They're just taking rather a long time to get around to it. Which annoys some people who are hopped up on Starbucks and LiPo batteries (a fairly dangerous combination in my opinion).
You should see all of the discarded and abandoned remotes out here in the Alaskan bush. Hundreds of thousands of them scurrying around looking for AAA batteries and an IR beam. It's really sad.

Guess what. Happens quite a bit. Russian patrol boats are seen outside of Alaskan waters on a regular basis.
Hell, we've even let Canadians dock here. We did hold the line at Greenpeace, though.

I trust no one with nude photos.
And we collectively breath a sigh of relief.
Transhumanist medicine?
There is something wrong with that term....
Apple has always had a little bit of trouble with time zones, DST and the like....
Everything is a Western?

Large volumes of inexpensive, clean water that do not require large amounts of energy to process is a finite resource.
There, I fixed it for you.
You've just read the label on your Pop-Tart.
Put your glasses on, drink some more coffee and try again.
I'm French! How do you think I got this outrageous accent?

Just a bit before their time.
Are you, perchance, a Fox News affiliate?
Yup, and now we have higher pneumonia rates as a result. Better for the herd?

Only the Sith deal in absolutes.
Well, this is Slashdot. I'm not sure why you seem surprised.
You could just look it up.
Right. Like having your kid on a ventilator is fun thing to do. Walk in the park and all that.
There are unpleasant things in life short of dying: ICU admissions, taxes, politicians ...
Tie their pay to productivity and provide bonuses to exceeding explicit, ambitious goals.
... to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.
Good idea. Maybe we could make a reality TV show about that.

Go tilt at some other windmill.
If that's the case, the Brit's really need to own up and clean out their mess.
Yes! Just like in The Fifth Element. Especially if you get to share the space with Mila Jovovich.

That's right! We're all waiting for that literal windfall of UAV pieces (peicions?) dropping out of the sky. A DIY'er dream come true.

What that has to do with UAVs isn't clear.
It's even more confusing than you think.
You are better off reading the Baroque Cycle. It's much more entertaining and even partially correct.
