BS, as this was discussed in Social Studies when I was still in high school (yes, over 30 years ago). It wasn't a Federal case, but the precedent was widely followed.

Speed limits are not a Federal law, but a state one (hence Montana dropping them for "reasonable speed" every few years), so the tickets go to reducing the local town's debt, instead.

It isn't, officially, just as there are no quotas, officially, and NFL defenses never had bounties for opposing players, officially. And Brutus is an honorable man.

Except after a couple of times that the police lose, YOUR lawyer can sue the department for legal harassment. Why do you think that the families of Mafia members aren't always in court, except for protections like this?

Or D) GoDaddy has managed to get Danica Patrick in even less clothing in their commercial. Or one of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition models, etc.

Prove that you are right to them, or it is just your religious dogma. Maybe the "flowering plant" trait reoccurred, like stripes in the two types of horse that we call zebras which are more closely related to Equus equus than to each other (or at least, so I am claiming without citing supporting evidence)?

Biology isn't just a collection of meaningless facts, or Linneaus' original prejudices, after all.

The mini-series with Richard Chamberlain was a good adaptation of the book.

Plausible deniability, perhaps, if the Company was "private" rather than officially government? Changing an obvious OBL into "the Emir" was done so that the character didn't become dated, like Prince Charles in Patriot Games did.

Jack DIDN'T get anywhere in politics. He became President because of multiple catastrophes, and was re-elected due to terrible (as in terribly clumsy) opposition after he literally saves every voter's life, by his actions against the (first) Plague. The situation that would be equivalent would be the post Civil War period, where the main qualification for Grant and the next few presidents was that they were successful generals, not politicians.

Umm, this was the BBC.

Which means it was probably Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear having his usual fun when in the USA.

Only if he has a flying squirrel as an accomplice. And William Conrad doing voice-over from the dead.

Technically, that honor goes to the YF12A, the fighter version of the SR71 Blackbird.

Of course, those were only prototypes for a scrapped program (the design was later redone into the Blackbird), rather than deployed aircraft.

You mean microwave ovens with the door interlock wired around so that they can broadcast to the skies, and attract all the HARM missiles? Serbians already did that.

Hopefully, newer HARMs can ignore oven frequencies.

That was stupid of them. I turned in my Windows phone within the two week deadline, and got my iPhone before my new contract was even billed.

The Lumia wasn't bad, mind you, just not really good, and lots of friends have iPhones so I could get advice/support until I figured out how everything worked without having to wait for a class at the provider's store.

And he got the psychologist lady (and away from his frenemy!). And he got onto the Tour for the next year without having to go through Q School. And, if he learns to postpone his meltdowns just a bit longer, he'll win next year's Open.

Learn to think through your analogies before using them.

Anyway, Tin Cup kept trying for the hole to prove to it that he COULD do it. That he became immortal was just a side-benefit that he didn't think about until the love-interest pointed it out.

Or read anything by H. Beam Piper, especially Lord Kalvan Of Otherwhen, where the entire multi-timeline cosmology and pre-history is laid out by someone who should know, as his timeline had no decline after the migration from Mars.

No, but they were successful enough to attempt settling Vinland, and to send roughly-yearly lumbering expeditions for a century after the Skralings chased them out. Their surpluses probably went into internal growth until the climate change suddenly made life untenable, there. If they had learned more from the eskimos they might have been able to keep going.
