Coupled with a 3D scanner, it would. Imagine your kid throws your remote. The plastic nub on it breaks off, and it is no longer a functional cover, but you have the cover and it's plastic peg nub, just separated. You put them into a scanner, it scans the dimensions. You open up some 3D modelling software to put the two pieces back together, then click print. You now have your replacement part.
It's for use in something like tabletop gaming. It shows use for a great prop, that is creative and enhances the experience. It would also be a long-term waste of space. If we could get recycling down such that you can print it and ditch it (storing the source digital file) without creating massive clutter, this would be awesome.
Who writes the quizzes? The lobbyists whom drafted the bill? Or do you suggest giving the bill over to watchdog groups to further slow the legislative process?
Robots.txt should be respected at the time of retrieval. It should not be retroactively respected to censor or remove old data. That is a shame. I've used the Archive before on a site of a gaming company that I loved, which nearly went bankrupt (or perhaps did) but managed to eke its way through. Part of their relaunch nuked the Internet Archive's archives and I definitely felt a sense of loss.
I found the character development with Thor 2 to be much more believable than that in Thor. In the first, he couldn't pick up his hammer and suddenly was humbled outright. In this, he slowly comes to realize that he cannot put his feelings for Earth (and Jane) aside and act as a ruler would, and must instead act as a guardian/soldier.
Having read this (for the first time) very recently, I was under the impression that what had occurred was that he got frustrated, as you noted; eye-balled the explosion radius; judged that one of his soldiers would have been clear from the blast and fired. Had he used his sensors, he would have found that the soldier was not clear, and he therefore took actions that could have resulted in death in real combat. He eyeballed something where a (simulated) nuclear explosion was involved, and he was wrong.
Killing someone is cheaper than letting them rot for life in prison, feeding them, housing them, guarding them and perhaps even risking parole at some later date.
I do not pretend to weigh in on the morality or acceptability of capital punishment in this post, just the above economic view.
3. His advice ignores the benefits of leniency if you're guilty and you're almost positive you'll be caught anyway. For most of this discussion I've been focusing on the merits of talking to the police if you're innocent. But Officer Bruch also says that if people in the interrogation room answer questions and cooperate, then even if they're ultimately convicted, the police do testify to the judge that you were cooperative, and the judge can take that into account and reduce your prison sentence. That is at least theoretically another legitimate reason to violate Professor Duane's "Don't Talk To Cops" rule, if you're 99% sure that the police will find enough evidence to convict you anyway, you can hope for leniency by cooperating. [...]
It is pointed out by Professor Duane that the police cannot testify in your favor because anything you say can and will be used against you, but not in your favor. All a prosecutor has to decry is "hearsay" and it is not valid for the court to consider.

Well, he ran upopposed, for example. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P...
As a Peoria, IL native: "Yup" to pretty much all of the above.
You can have your $1000, not adjusted for inflation.

Or completely honest.
We've been on to them since 1998.
Neither was Mystery Science Theater 3000, but it was hella good.
And my Mod Points have disappeared. Such sad timing.
I think the examples the GP had in mind are Greece and Rome
H-h-harumph!
Ken Ham is a hack. I'd much rather see Bill Nye debate someone like William Lane Craig. That, at least, would be an interesting debate.
Where are my mod points when I need them?

I liked Thor 2 better.

Because you can sell them.

I just hope it doesn't flop.
That's not the texting driver's fault, though. That's the asshat that rear-ended them's fault.
Funny. I can just tell my wife that I need to be left alone, in a kind way of course, and ... she does.
First Contact made up for the other three. That is all.
Personally, I'm jealous that you live in the vicinity to know about Dallas pricing (i.e.: live there) and I don't.
