Seriously! How long would one have to be away and kicking himself that he forgot to change the thermostat setting before having one of these new fangled ones would pay for itself?
Retroreflection is accomplished by having three mutually perpendicular reflective surfaces forming a hollow corner. Natural cubic crystal formations can easily develop hollow corner retroreflectivity. So, to show that it was the Apollo lunar ranging experiment, and not a natural crystal formation, you'd at least have to have before and after shots showing the difference.
Oh, come now! The existence of a retroreflection is not proof of the existence a *man-made* retroreflector, let alone one placed there by astronauts using 1960s technology.
The reflectors aren't proof of anything. There could be naturally occurring retro-reflective crystals on the moon, and NASA's just claiming they landed there. Now, if you had evidence that there was nothing retro-reflecting BEFORE the Apollo missions, then you might have something.
Note: just pointing out the flaw in the argument, not participating in the hoaxer camp.
I highly doubt that the drones spying in on the Star Wars set are being operated by a reputable commercial surveillance firm. In fact, I doubt they're being operated by someone who cares about the drone operation legal regulations either.
"night owl" people are more likely to be psychopaths than early risers.
If you stop waking us up at ungodly hours of the morning, maybe we wouldn't be so stressed out. Did you ever think of that Mr Be-at-work-at-Nine-or-you're-fired?
If this is an implementation of a cheetah's running locomotion, it is a complete fail.
- When running, a cheetah's spine flexes. Not this robot.
- When running, a cheetah's hind legs land in front of its forelegs. Not this robot.
- When running, a cheetah's legs land with a full pacing stagger, ie left first then right. The feet on this robot land simultaneously.
As an American, you have that right. However, do the cops need to get a warrant to search a foreigner's car? Or luggage? Is that spelled out in the constitution anywhere?
I think that if you want to publicly publish a work and want copyright protection of that work, then you pay a copyright fee. The first year, the fee would be one dollar. Each subsequent year, the cost of copyright protection doubles.
This season, in Australia, we're getting the latest Dr Who episode within 24 hours broadcast on ABC. Plus it's also available on iView. So there's no reason to pirate it.

Are there enough rocks at the Lagrange points? The thing about the moon is that you've got plenty of rocks to throw.

what would constitute "proof", Sparky?

If you connect to a stingray, won't the tower ID number be different? So if I only connect through whitelisted towers, I'd be safe
Excellent! Now all he needs to do is find his smartphone.

Oh, they've got that covered as well.

I am not so worried about the patents. Vertically landing a rocket has been described in the TinTin comic ''Objectif Lune...
I'm not a patent attorney either, but I'm fairly sure that works of fiction are not eligible to be considered prior works.
If you have to ask (for your money back) you can't afford it.
What if you're just asking for your money back as a matter of principle?

Congress basically refused to allow him to close it.
It's a military base and he is the Commander in Chief, is he not? How does he not have the authority to close the base?
Some yahoo mashing tracks in a DJ pulpit does not count as "live" no matter how Mad the Skilz.

If I were Musk, I'd put up my own space station...
I believe SpaceX has partnered with Bigelow Aerospace, which already has two space stations in orbit.

Check out a real cheetah running. It's like they didn't do any research at all.
Apple was a bit naughty by pushing an album we didn't ask for, but that's all it is: well-intended spam.
Well intentioned spam is still spam.

... in line with the actual ideals US has embraced for its entire existence: to the victor go the spoils.
That's it! I'm naming my kid Victor.
Well, Rule 34 is always in play.
Golf would be my choice.

You'd look pretty silly trying to contort yourself in order to read the time or do a google search on an ankle monitor.

iView only allows Australians to view Doctor Who.
