Be covered under national costume I'd think.

Don't worry, I've since been informed that Bumblebees are being domesticated and sold as they are better for pollinating Tomatoes in greenhouses.
Of course there are quite a few Bumblebee species.

Well, this article is about the PSLV, which puts satellites in Sun Synchronous orbits (polar orbit), something that I don't think the Falcon 9 has ever done. For comparison, there is the GLSV, putting 5000KG in LEO (2500 into GTO), not quite half of the 9. There's also the upgraded GLSV-III which will be able to put 8000KG in LEO once development is finished. It has made suborbital test flights.
According to Wiki, the Indian civil space program is mostly independent of the missile program, especially early on. Can't really find much info for who helped them besides the GLSV starting out using some Russian motors. Remember after India did their nuke test in the early '70's, the west boycotted them.

Actually the ISRO has launched infinite more payload then the Falcon Heavy, as the Heavy has not flown.
Falcon Heavy also benefits from over 50 years of American space development whereas India had to bootstrap the ISRO on its own.

Strategic partners of the government such as certain lobbyists will also be immune (or continue to interact in person as they do now to avoid any written records) and things like banking will be tapped at the server so communication over the internet will still be secure. Same with interactions with the government. What will be blocked is person to person encryption as well as communication with organizations who are not in the governments good side.

Your customers of course. At least it'll be fair as your competition will also have raise their rates to pay for the back doors as well.

Do you really think there won't be an exception for the government to use secure communication? As the western world moves right on the political spectrum, we'll see more and more secretive governments who demand to know everything about their subjects. Been watching it here in Canada ever since the Conservatives got voted in (on an open government ticket). Expansion of police and spying agencies powers including blanket immunity from breaking the law. Increasing secrecy in the government, often using austerity as an excuse why things like the FOIA laws have been neutered, meanwhile over and over introducing laws to allow spying until the people get tired of fighting the laws.
 

Not really, as winter is coming to Pluto and the atmosphere will freeze.

It's inevitable that business will be more successful by financing a totalitarian state to force people to buy their products. Think about it, one business spends a fortune making a better product and has little money left for advertising etc, another business pays far less to influence the government to force people to use their product and to screw the other company. Which one succeeds?
At least we're no longer in the days when businesses simply hired mercenaries to force people to do what the company wants, though we could still go there if influencing government gets too expensive.
The invisible hand simply favours businesses that are efficient, and it is more efficient to influence government and use taxpayer money instead of the businesses.

Once again, we're talking about Bumblebees, not Honey Bees. Very different and not domesticated. Just slightly up the page, this was posted, http://bumblebeeconservation.o...

Try to keep up. We're talking about Bumblebees, says right on my browser windows frame, not Honey Bees. Where I live there is no mosquito spraying, no farming and the wild bees, including Bumblebees are having a fuck of a year due to weird weather (everything is 2-4 weeks early except when the wild bees hatch to make new hives). Pollination rates on the wild Huckleberries, which are usually the first crop for the wild bees, is close to zero, which points to the bees not having their usual spring breakfast which they need to establish the new hives (many types of wild bee hives only last a year)

Remember, that is an average, with almost no change at the equator and maximum change (on average) towards the poles. Then there are the weird outlier years such as this one where I live. Winter ended at least a month early, the drought showed up and it is shaping up to be the hottest year on record (hottest June, driest May and June so far, the bush (wild flowers) is dieing and the watering restriction are getting severe so people don't have as many flowers). The Bees had bad timing with their usual spring crop of Huckleberries and suffered for it. Now there are no Huckleberries and other things are suffering. I feel bad for the bears.
Because Bumble Bees and most of the other native bees build new hives every year, one bad year puts a huge dent in their population, a couple of bad years...

Honey Bees would be better as they have 3-4 orders of magnitude more Bees in a hive. Besides the Honey Bee makes hives that are easier to domesticate and sell, imagine digging up a Bumble Bee hive and trying to sell it.

Considering Polar Bears only evolved their current teeth about 10,000-20,000 years ago, strictly speaking the current species has not survived many cycles.
Polar Bears are marine animals and dependent on hunting seal, so hanging around on land leads to starvation.
Of course they can evolve into Pizzly bears which can live on land but strictly speaking, they're not Polar bears anymore.

I thought that Microsoft put one of their (ex-)executives in as CEO, he made decisions that killed Nokia and then sold it to MS and went back to work at MS, probably with a huge bonus.
Personally I've been very happy with my Nokia phone, owned it for ten years now, battery is still good for 5 days (probably more if it didn't spend over half its time out of range of a signal), does what a phone is supposed to do, namely make phone calls.
