The article the other day said they were going to place it above highways that are already built. (Basically on poles, the way many cities have their monorail and train lines already). So, no land will need to be acquired except to build stations.
Think when we talk of horses, that you see them
Printing their proud hoofs i' the receiving earth;
And when we say car chase, that you see them too,
Drive fast and furiously down a runway for six minutes with explosions and a giant reptile smashing through the city... er...
But now I realise it was this:
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more
Image of a fisting pops up on the screen.
Student: Daddy, I don't want to learn Shakespeare any more, it hurts my eyes and brain!
I concur. I went to purchase my University textbooks for this semester and it was cheaper for me to buy the printed version from the UK (AUD $76) and have them shipped to Australia than to buy the e-book versions (AUD $96). The embarrassing thing is, both textbooks were written by Australians and printed by Australian publishing companies. The price of the print versions in Australia were more expensive again (About AUD$ 100)... and full list price they would have been AUD $154.
Ptth, who cares about your puny human space station! Now a Ringworld is what we really need!!!! (But without the Vampires... or if we have to have them, put the Twilight fans with them!)
Thought of a better idea. Gay/Lesbians are calling on the movie to be boycotted due to OSC's financial and active support of homophobic campaigns. Rather ironic (of OSC) considering the movie is about tolerance. Rather than suffering conscious dissonance or pangs of guilt etc, people who want to see the movie go see it with clothes calling for tolerance of gays and lesbians or anti-homophobia T-Shirts etc... things like that. Try to make it a media / on-line thing and It might make OSC become more tolerant of gays/lesbians etc. Gays and Lesbians around the world could even turn it into a Gay/Lesbian event, that way the book/movie will always be associated with tolerance of gay/lesbians. Just my two cents.
Well, if that is all it takes to look like you've been on important projects, then I'm adding these to my resume, BEACHBUM, SURFERDUDE, SUNBATHER, SNORKLER, SCUBADIVE, SUNBURN, BOARDSHORTS, WETSUIT, JETSKI, SURFBOARD, YACHTCLUB... Oh, yeah! I'm 1337 G0v3rnm3n7 \/\/0r|eR!!!
They possibly paid outside contractors to do the destroying. I know when one place I worked for were looking to destroy old backup tapes we were quoted an extraordinary high price per tape. Way more than the cost of the tape when it was new. But, it came with a guarantee that the data would be completely destroyed. Some of us offered to do it for free with magnets, scissors and fire, but management feared that the magnets might not erase everything and a determined soul might find the tapes before they could be burned and stick them all back together and get the companies data from 10 to 15 years ago!!!
Embassies are not foreign soil. They are the soil of the country they reside in. So the German Embassy in the USA is on US soil. From Wikipedia.
Contrary to popular belief, diplomatic missions do not enjoy full extraterritorial status and are not sovereign territory of the represented state.[5][6] Rather, the premises of diplomatic missions remain under the jurisdiction of the host state while being afforded special privileges (such as immunity from most local laws) by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
Strong magnetic field to make sure nothing spaceship-like can leave the solar system. It's part of the aliens cage to keep us violent humans quarantined in the solar system forever. Wait till it gets to the edge of that foyer and hits the bars on the door!:-)
Yes, they're simulating collisions between materials (fabrics) that can be used in the manufacture of things like spaceships and ISS's etc, with things that can be found in space, like bits of asteroid, space debris etc. to see how the materials react.
You may already know this, but just in case someone else reading doesn't (ie to clarify a point). The UK Government can enter, but chooses not to. Embassies and Embassy grounds are still part of the country they are in (so the Ecuadorian Embassy is still UK soil). It is only on agreement that they do not enter for fear of an international incident and condemnation from the rest of the world. But legally they can still enter if they chose to. (Which was something the UK Government actually considered - because they do have a legal cause for entering and apprehending Assange). The Embassy being the soil of the country who reside in the Embassy is a Hollywood myth. So, by 'cannot enter' it is 'cannot enter without causing an international incident' and not 'cannot enter due to a legal restraint'.
How do you know they weren't going to put a bomb on the plane, and forgot. It might have been their intention to get rid of what is wrong with the world.:-)

I had a similar initial thought, but then I thought about it. (I used to work for WA Police btw).
1. You get to the scene of a traffic accident/murder scene... dead people are splattered all over the place... the dead peoples relatives certainly don't want that to be seen by the general public, and it would cater to the morbid amongst us who would get off on that sort of thing (they'd spend all their time surfing the crime videos for nasty bits and pieces). It'd also be a nasty way for someone to find out one of their close relatives died.
2. Plus, it would release information to the public that the police may need to conceal, like details of how a person died that they need to keep secret as part of the investigation. Many a murderer has revealed too much information which has lead to their arrest, as it was information not released to the general public. Many a murderer will now just claim they saw the information on the cloud.
3. Victims need protection. If someone gets beaten or raped etc, and the police turn up whilst it is happening, the victim won't want the general public to be able to access the video of it happening. Especially if a lot of it is personally embarrassing to the victim.
To summarise why it isn't a good idea for the public to access this - It pretty much comes down to, any victim/s has/have a right for the general public not to know their business.
Possible solution is that when the footage gets logged into the Police cloud, the time/date/officers ID etc are made available to the public to show that the footage does actually exist. Then if the footage 'goes missing' etc, the police get bitch slapped and if a case is being tried it can go into the court record as evidence destroyed (and the police get bitch slapped a second time).

So, no down sides then. :-)

No, that words been removed from the dictionary and everything is double plus good! :-)
Japan has had token Emperors since 1192 when the Shoguns took over the real power.
... much.
That's what happens when you borrow the idea of a planet being entirely desert from a SF legend. :-)
Wait ... are you the guy who ran off with my ex-wife? Because all those descriptions sound like her!!!!
Rather late, so it probably won't get modded up.

Was the raid on SJG because the Illuminati game gave away state secrets of what was really happening in the world?
But ... but ... Santa's real. I see him every Xmas at the shopping centres!!!!
We refuse to leave our rooms unless the Emperor himself orders us to surrender!!!!
