Certainly this can be made more environmentally friendly. Given the right diet, the average soldier should be able to produce more than a quart of natural gas every 30 minutes. Would ruin the stealth factor though.
Only a psyhco would put a nuclear powerplant in one of these. As it is the enemies duty to destroy these (things are just going to be blowing up all over the place in a battle) you put your own soldiers at extreme risk, not to mention the long term danger to the environment and civilians. Your own troops are not going to want be near them! Or did you mean cold fusion?
Because the future of warfare is in space. The US has been developing space warfare technology for many years. If the US decides to put weapons in orbit so will China and Russia (and maybe India and Europe). They are not doing this for pure scientific research.
the only reason they can't grow all the food they need is because the best farming land is reserved for opium
the highest estimate for north korean opium farms is 7000 hectares. Since they have 1,200,000 hectares of farmland this is not the reason for their food shortage.
note: the original fields where created by the Japanese during their invaison period so it interesting that NK is a big supplier of opium based recreational products to Japan now.
According to Websters: Fundamentalism - A system of beliefs based on the interpretation of every word in the Bible, both old and new testaments, as literal truth.
This is not practiced by the catholic church.
Your definition of creationism being something like "God created / is the cause of the universe etc." is not in conflict with science.
Fundamentalists believe that everything was created exactly (not figuratively) as it says in Genesis. If you believe in the Big Bang or that the Earth is more than 5000 years old etc. then you are not a fundamentalist.
well fortunately it took lots of money away from small investors who didn't need it anyway and gave it to a bunch of nice yet needy wall street guys who can really help out the average joe by boosting the economy through stategically placed overseas investments
allofmp3.com uses an independent billing company (cyberplat) even if the RIAA could get the US credit card companies to tell them who made payments to them this would not indicate who is an allofmp3.com customer.
they would need cyberplat to tell them who the customers of allofmp3.com are.
as allofmp3.com also sells russian music they would need allofmp3.com to tell them who actually bought RIAA music
since both cyberplat and allofmp3.com are russian companies the RIAA cannot subpoena them here but must do it in Russia where they have no case.
in any case has the RIAA (or anyone else) actually sued a downloader (as opposed to people who shared/distributed music)? If they haven't they are obviously reluctant to even test in court whether downloading itself is illegal.

You probably weren't charged because in order to charge you the cops needed the kid as a witness. In order to be a witness he would implicate himself in attempted theft. You were smart not to implicate yourself as the kid was probably not going to implicate you.
They probably did not want to go through the effort to do a DNA test for what was probably a misdemeanor. In any case in order to charge the kid on that evidence (DNA) you would have to implicate yourself in setting the trap which they or the DA knows your not going to do especially after consulting a lawyer.
In the case of booby traps against tresspassing the crime is so minor that the tresspasser will become a witness and probably have a civil case as well.
there is no evidence that water vapor added to the ecosystem has a long term effect on the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. Most of it probably returns as rain. Additional CO2 stays in the atmosphere a long time and has a near continous effect.
This CNN story claims that a US official suggests that the mushroom cloud might be caused by a forest fire. A little bit of physics knowledge [layman/common-sense] makes this suggestion laughable
This is not an abuse of Google. Google only offers 1 G which is only 1% of the typical hard drive today, or just a little more than a CD.
Performance will be abismal.
Except for offline backup (which you could already manually use GMail for) this is not very useful. Even for that it isn't really useful since Google could cancel you account if they don't like how you use it.
This is really just expression of "I could do it".
Even so, if they used the gimick of 1 G of email for marketing but expected nobody to use it, tough, they don't get to completely control how you use their product.
As far as the XM-PCR, this is just the like a VCR for XM radio. How is this an abuse? The recording is analog, all the program does is allow a time shift. These are all things that anybody could do manually for a long time. Should we take away VCRs and Tivo just because broadcasters would prefer we had to watch TV under their rules?
You already have the capacity but not the right to sell or distribute most of the content that XM transmits.
They did not go "out of their way". They did it to sell more subscriptions.
This program actually makes XM radio more marketable.
When you create a product, you do not get to regulate every thing your customers do with it. Soon we will have Kellogs telling us that we cannot make our own rice krispie bars (i.e. we have to buy their Rice Krispie Treats) with the box of cereal we bought as this violates the "license".

on the other hand the politician will not lead to an increase in CO2 since their brains don't actually consume oxygen when speaking

Anyway this "donation" is like the serial rapist who donates a dollar to the unwed mothers fund every week.
they would need cyberplat to tell them who the customers of allofmp3.com are.

Will the food still suck?
if he plead not guilty and was convicted he would have been given two death sentences served consecutively

water surface are of earth: 361,800,000 sq km
/ 100,000 cm/km (i.e. * 0.00001 km (1cm) )
= 3618 cu km
= 3,618,000,000,000 cu m
total worldwide usage of water per year is 169 cu km (1995)
assuming 100% efficiency, 20 times the total water currently consumed has to be filtered/processed to get one year of energy.
i really have dont have a clue what kind of energy requirements that alone would take, maybe specially designed ships could perform this task.
