What? In Company of Heroes, you're just as able to repair your HQ as the AI is. Maybe you're playing one of the special gamemodes in ToV that might restrict your abilities (I wouldn't know, I just have the two previous iterations)? Or maybe you're trying to repair with the wrong unit?
Now either your talking about Friendly Fire. Which is in bad taste.
Or your talking about turning on allies like Russia which is in only slightly better taste.
There is a third option: that he's talking about the US Army/Air Force routinely bombing the crap out of civilian targets we're supposed to be protecting and not getting too bent out of shape over it because it's just "collateral damage".
I'm also waiting for a replacement for my Tungsten T3 which practically crippled. A lot of Palm's success in the past was due to the app community, so I'm hoping that they will leverage that with the Pre. If this doesn't cover what I'm looking for, I might have to move on to Android.
Nope. Star Trek of the 1960s was on film and edited on film, making it easy to convert to HD -- e.g. just redo the effects.
Star Trek The Next Generation will be a little difficult because, after each episode was shot on film, it transferred to video for editing and effects. To do a remastering in HD, it will require redoing the editing and the effects -- possible, but will the cost be justified? I just hope that the costs get low enough that they eventually do DS9 in HD.
I believe that American culture has been becoming increasingly less capable of self-sacrifice for a greater or national good. For example, despite the large and prominent pacifist movements prior to the World Wars, we still eventually got around to getting involved. We sacrificed for Meatless Mondays and war bonds. These days, there are so many examples of Americans assuming the attitude that unless something directly benefits me or requires me to lose any skin, I will filibuster, lobby, or litigate.
I'm not saying that all examples of obstruction are bad, but just that it feels like obstruction for selfish reasons takes overriding priority over the public interest -- very general examples being Yucca Mountain or the Land Mine Ban Treaty.
What the hell!? They had to leave the field lie fallow for five years because they had squeezed every last ounce of creativity out of the last production team working on Trek. Now the comeback movie hasn't even been released yet and they're already back to raping the land for all it's worth.
What's that make me then? I have tits and an axe wound and run Linux.
It makes you the object of many a Slashdotter's desires.
Don't pick up a BSG or Star Trek habit unless you want hordes of nerds breaking down your front door. I especially warn against learning to solder, or worse, weld.
Gosh, the UN has been around for over 60 years. You would think that all these people would have learned by now that the UN is a tool to disseminate western culture to the rest of the world, not the other way around!
But how will we keep him from dying in hilarious and frustrating ways in every room he walks into? Or what if having a space janitor releases an army of door-to-door insurance salesman??? We're DOOMED.
I am not a climate scientist, but isn't there an issue with getting water vapor in the high atmosphere? AFAIK, water vapor doesn't usually get to go that high in our atmosphere.
It also helps if you go the DIY route when things break, since he'll intimately know how it went together in the first place. Or, when he gets in the field, and something doesn't perform exactly the way he'd like, he can upgrade the system on his own.
And yet I've still received tickets when I've been marked by chalk, got in the car, driven around the block, and purposefully chosen a different spot on the street. I think these assholes would rather write the ticket and just bet on the driver not contesting it.
Under cursory review of the above terms, it still sounds like an excellent hedge when one gets a ticket. Sure, it's not a great deal if you're experienced with combating tickets, but for someone who otherwise would have just paid the ticket or thrown their arms up in the air when trying to figure out the dispute process, it sounds like a bargain.
Isn't it also the case that the magnetic field helps shield atmospheres from being sandblasted by the solar wind? Isn't one of the current theories about early Martian atmosphere is that it was once thicker, but once the core cooled and the magnetic field dissipated, the atmosphere was thinned by the solar wind?
Depending on whether transmission along the cable is possible, a power source internal to the elevator car may be necessary. Though, it would seem that an internal power source is very undesirable. If cargo capacity and reduction of wear on the cable are important parameters for the elevator, then reducing on board weight for the car would indicate that an important goal is to try to find a method of powering the car externally.

Nuke 'em from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

I, for one, welcome our eventual titanium web building, eight-legged overlords.
Three appearances on DS9 in fact: "Blood Oath", "The Sword of Kahless", and "Once More Unto the Breach".
Sometimes Scotty the God of Engineers demands SACRIFICE!

Congratulations! I wish you luck in your studies, for you are a rarity in your field.

Just make sure you don't run Puppy Linux.

Sounds like a good reason to make a tin-foil hat. Or at least line your current one with tin-foil. Maybe your jacket too.
Alright, shut it down!

"Day" has long been symbolic of the Sun's oppression; discord5 is taking the word back.
