Technically, yes, there are solutions. Politically, no, the Federal Government would not allow BP to deploy booms and skimmers that, being under foreign registries, might not be unionized. In hindsight, BP should have used them and appealed to Congress, the courts, and the American people for relief from the Executive Department's overreach.
You said the data is on the tape, therefore it isn't lost . You said you deleted the unneeded data, therefore you didn't lose it, you disposed of it. I see nothing accidental in your actions - or those of the IRS. The part about your whole life may be true nonetheless.
Solution on my smartphone: 1) Turn off GPS 2) Enter data into UI 3) Turn GPS on. It would add about ten seconds to the process since I have a widget to make it easier.
They waited until the competition was (largely) eliminated by smartphone apps, and Google and Apple were finally in a position to start monetizing the service again (you used to pay for navigation hardware and/or programs) so we will undoubtedly see worsening map quality since there won't be enough revenue for those greedy sumbitches once the regulations are slathered on.
Call your congress critter and tell him to think long and hard before voting for this act.
Yeah, a Republican power grab sounds very plausible. We were all just wondering when the President would let his true colors show.
From the second link: "Earlier this year in St. Paul, Minnesota, President Obama and Secretary Foxx promised to present Congress with a multi-year surface transportation reauthorization proposal, and with the unveiling of The GROW AMERICA Act today, they have fulfilled that promise." It is the first sentence on the web page.
"Armed" meant with the most sophisticated military weapons available. Several of the earliest engagements in the American War of Independence were made in response to the British seizing artillery and heavy weapons, that was fresh in the minds of those who wrote and signed the Constitution. "Armed" is used without limitation in the second amendment.
The number of (what you mistakenly believe are) assault weapons in the US has more than doubled in the last decade, yet their use in violent acts has not. If there were any truth in what you suggest, violent crime in the US would have risen with the increased per capita gun ownership. If people want them, who are you to suggest that they should not have them?
Median income isn't a particularly relevant measure. If the incomes are now flatter below the median, that would indicate fewer people are being excluded from the middle (I'm pretty sure that's not the case except at the lowest incomes), if the incomes are steeper above the median it means that there is more wealth in the hands of more people (again, I am sure this is not the case except at the highest incomes). Show me the 10th, 25th, 75th and 90th percentile incomes and then we'll talk.
Perhaps using the sun to grow the plants rather than using lights that contain mercury, powered by nuclear and coal fired generating stations would be a more sensible way to provide a piece of lettuce. Something tells me this organic lettuce will find its way to expensive restaurants in New York so the rich and famous will be able to pay a huge premium to eat it and then turn around and condescendingly tell the 99% how important eating organic, animal rights, and the environment are.
Florida's problem IS man made, but it isn't rising sea levels, it is that they built canals to drain the water and now they have compounded the natural subsidence of the land that has been ongoing for tens of thousands of years, with the man made subsidence due to water extraction. Most of the East coast is sinking at a rate that exceeds the predicted rise due to melting ice and warming water. Norfolk is near the site of a meteor impact 35 million years ago that is responsible for its faster rate of subsidence. These are geological rather than climatological issues. The Navy is planning to deal with the issue, but it isn't rising water - it's sinking land.
It's called El Nino. It is a weather pattern that repeats irregularly due to an upwelling of warm water in the Pacific, what you describe is not anomalous at all.
The strange concept is that you would bring up gun control when the statistics don't back you up. Over the last decade, the percentage of officers killed on duty, by guns vs other causes, in Britain is slightly HIGHER than it was in the United States. The US is far more violent than Britain, but guns do not contribute to that nearly as much as you would have others believe.
Warhol was mostly marketing, like Kim Kardashian with a paint brush.
But you challenged us to read, so from Wikipedia:
"New York's Museum of Modern Art hosted a Symposium on pop art in December 1962 during which artists like Warhol were attacked for "capitulating" to consumerism. Critics were scandalized by Warhol's open embrace of market culture."
"In 1979, reviewers disliked his exhibits of portraits of 1970s personalities and celebrities, calling them superficial, facile and commercial, with no depth or indication of the significance of the subjects. They also criticized his 1980 exhibit of 10 portraits at the Jewish Museum in New York, entitled Jewish Geniuses, which Warhol-who was uninterested in Judaism and Jews-had described in his diary as "They're going to sell."
"The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (1975), 'Making money is art, and working is art and good business is the best art.' "
I believer it is the opinions of those critics and reviewers which have stood the test of time, not Warhol's artistic works.
A boy once said, "The emperor has no clothes!" We see you chose to remove any doubt, with your appeal to authority and putting knowledge and opinion on the same level. You overvalue opinion - your own, and that of professionals in an almost purely subjective realm.
Not a recent NASA study, a NASA funded study. NASA, notably, didn't put their stamp of approval on it - in all likelihood because the authors did not reach their conclusions through proper methodology. A "thought experiment" is not suitable for reaching conclusions, only for developing a hypothesis. In other words, it is a complete fabrication presented as having some scientific basis and misrepresented as being the conclusions of a respected governmental and scientific body.

That saved me back in 1993 in Korea when my laptop was dead.
Easy to say, until you are the party wanting the content removed. Then you will be whining about how onerous it is to force someone to comply.

Squab, by definition, are young domestic pigeons.

At the moment, the Ministry of Defense's prototype resembles a '1-meter long shoe box,' so the next step is to miniaturize it.
And is there a cat in the box? And how do they intend to miniaturize it.
