And yet my brother and I used to build military bases with ICBM silos. Then the GI Joe's and Transformers would attack... We never actually launched the ICBMs though, even kids understand you don't want nuclear fallout in the playroom.
We were dog sitting my brother's collie who had a penchant for stealing socks, and my father had a penchant for leaving socks around the house, quite a match. So my dad is in his office at the front of the house, and there is a pair of socks lying there, but he is between them and where the dog can get to. So the dog goes to the back of the house and starts barking his "I see grave danger!" bark. I'm upstairs and I look down from the stairs and see my dad heading down the hallway, immediately followed by the dog heading quickly but quietly the long way around through the kitchen, disappear into the office while dad is going "What?" at the back of the house, and a few seconds later the dog comes trotting out with the socks in his mouth looking extremely pleased with himself.
Once the magnetosphere starts to reverse it will wipe out all communications and you won't have to hear any more about potential disasters. However you'll be mutating into a jellyfish from the cosmic rays, so it's a bit of a toss up.
A wood piece of furniture that is designed to last takes its eventual failure modes into consideration. For example a dovetailed drawer will continue to hold together just fine after the glue has failed because there is a mechanical connection in the direction force is applied to it. The old hide glues didn't last as long as our modern PVA glues, but you could both take apart joints that haven't failed yet without damaging anything and reapply new glue over the old glue, which means you can repair any failure or damage.
People have to get to work. Instead of X+Y licensed drivers you would have X licensed drivers and Y unlicensed and uninsured drivers, with a tiny fraction actually able to find an alternate means of transport. Then you get to try to put them all in prison. Let's make it simpler and have everyone with even numbered license plates be in prison during even months and odd plates during odd months.
Chess is a bad analogy because everyone who plays chess, whether it's for the first time or the 10,000th, starts with the same amount of stuff. Now imagine that the first time you play chess you only got your king and one pawn, and you had to play against someone else with one king and one pawn 10 times before you earned your second pawn, and then 25 times to get the third, and so on. All the while a bunch of little brats are running around showing off their full set of pieces.
On the verge of being wiped out after a terribly harsh winter, our ancestors came across thirty thousand tasty colonists that tried to make friends with them.
Say, you've got some money up there in Canada, don't you? And trees, we'll probably be needing some more of those by then. It's just been too damn cold up there to bother annexing you, but we've been working on that. Remember we have a habit of taking any land between us and an ocean, and there's one opening up above you.
..making sure it's impossible to make anything intended for anyone under 12 via the CPSIA.
But note the bill has no cosponsor, so he couldn't even find one other Rep to go along with it. Never gonna happen, he just gets to say he introduced important legislation protecting the children.
The benefit of an unmanned F-22 is that if it does get shot down you don't lose the pilot. In a prolonged war you may be able to keep making new aircraft fast enough to replace the ones that you lose, but you can't make new veteran pilots to fly them. Japan had planes left, but only warm bodies that would get owned if they went up against a real pilot, so they had to turn their planes basically into human piloted cruise missiles. That's why we have such an investment in having our planes have superiority in the first place, besides the political fallout of casualties. The day the technology in the plane is able to compensate for the pilot not being skilled you don't need the pilot anymore.
And the F-22 isn't designed to handle higher Gs because that would be stupid. If you are designing the plane to be unmanned in the first place then you don't have the human limitations to worry about. But it's not like human pilots don't already have to deal with scenarios where the opposing plane has a tighter turning radius or faster rate of climb or whatever. The good pilots will overcome. Until they run out of luck.
I could disagree with his views and still read his work. But he bases his entire argument on the rationalization that a marriage is supposed to produce children, gays can't produce children and thus it can't be called a marriage. Right, so why is it I never hear any of these fools wanting to prevent all women who have gone through menopause from marrying? I can respect different views, but I don't buy books written by idiots.
Not that I think it was faked, but seriously.. when they type in coordinates X,Y into their black box supposedly a laser beam reflects off the moon and lights up their receptors, when just as easily there could be no laser at all and it's just programmed to display a spike when you type in the right coordinates. Unless you put together the laser and equipment independently from NASA it proves nothing.
When my dog has been laying down for a while and decides to get up he does a big ol static stretch of his legs. I'm pretty sure he didn't learn it in school, so there's probably a good reason for it. On the other hand, I stopped stretching before I run and instead just start with an easy jog and stretch after, and feel better the next day. But then I'm not preparing to zig zag full tilt all over creation after a squirrel.
While we as a country cannot agree on many things, we finally came together on this one. The amount of Tina Fey in the world is limited. While the experts cannot agree whether Peak Tina Fey has already been reached, with movies, tv, and commercials we must be close. In this election a vote for McCain was a vote for four years of Fey only doing Palin impersonations. Now some say we could clone our way out of the problem, but putting aside the moral questions even if we could clone her today it would be twenty years or more before the clones began producing anything and we don't have that kind of time. So Americans spoke and said no to squandering our limited Tina Fey resources.
You can bet that IE would handle the insult tag in a completely incompatible way to the rest of the world, thus causing even more misunderstanding and rage.
It is not up to the assailant to decide when the victim is healed. The victim may very well not wish any help, but that is their decision not yours. People like to call this "Bush's war" to distance themselves from it, but it's our war, our mistake. We allowed our Congress to be in the pathetic state that it is and they did not take seriously the responsibility placed on them to declare war, and now our children have to pay the price with their lives for our apathy.

..them to quit screwing around with all this stuff and just get my road on the darn map. It's been five years. Please?

So you're suggesting the other 90% of the cost of gas doesn't provide any incentive for better fuel economy.

It was only the cylons that ate them.
It's not PC gaming, but Gerrold's been promising the next book in the series since '93...

Because we desperately need something to fill the time between now and the BSG finale.

That's what you would have said about an F-15 not that long ago.

Is that going up with the astronauts or sent in a separate launch?
