Sure, but the telco should still sanity check the ANI provided to make sure it's a number permitted over that PRI (or whatever you're calling with). IE: if you order a PRI with a 100 block of DIDs, the telco should reject any number that's not within your block of DIDs. If you want outbound calls to match your toll free, fine, but you should have to register that with the telco to permit it.

Or in Canada it would be 150 yards (110 yards for the playing surface, and 20 yards for each end zone). I still don't understand how the damned yanks can play on such a postage stamp of a field...

Except that it wasn't a crime in Canada when he sold the seeds. Under Canadian law, the seeds themselves aren't controlled substances, so it's perfectly legal to buy and sell them. What Marc Emery did was not a crime in the location that he did it in.

In reality they were all overweight dorks in their parent's basement, or federal officers.

Probably a cover (either foil or tyvek, not sure what they use) that covers over the RCS jets while the rocket launches, then is discarded when the jet is first fired. A similar thing was occasionally seen on shuttle launches. These covers are there to keep crap (both bird, and rainwater etc...) out of the jets while the rocket is sitting on the pad.

Especially one that's covered in foam that's off-gassing, and shedding small bits and pieces over time. Also, never mind the fact that the tanks were built as thin and as lightweight as possible, so had they been pressurized and converted into living spaces, they would have provided little to no shielding against space debris or radiation. Also, never mind the fact that by definition they were almost empty after launch, so you would still need to haul up all the fittings, equipment, furniture, etc... that you would need to stick inside them.

The reality is that other than the strong-back that held the shuttle and the SRBs together, the ETs were really just giant aluminum cans, and were about as useful as a spent aluminum can.

It ought to be the Noughties, which is the proper pun for that decade.

They have computed every possible game of limit hold'em poker. Based on these computations, the bot will always pick the optimal hand for the given situation (or possibly fold). Yes, it may lose a hand here or there, but the point is that over the long term, given enough hands, it will always beat imperfect (read human) players.

Meh, it's nothing more than advanced blackjack... In real poker, you don't share cards with your adversaries, have wildcards, etc... This "hold'em" poker is just a bunch of tripe to make things look ok for TV.

As much as this played out in various types of fiction and so forth, the reality is that the tanks wouldn't have been all that useful in orbit. The foam insulation would have off-gassed significantly and dumped all sorts of crap into your orbital environment, and the tanks themselves had nowhere near the shielding required to be used for human habitation (both radiation, and micrometeorite).

According to Michael Geist, this law limits liability to $5000 for *ALL* infringements. In your example, the copyright owner would have to bring forward separate court proceedings for each of those 10,000 infringements. I doubt any court would accept that.

Why does everyone want to not drive? I find driving to be a particularly enjoyable task, hell I don't even mind being stuck in traffic as long as I have NPR/CBC or decent podcasts to listen to.

I would prefer to pay them in Ningi.

One of the running half-jokes amongst the US troops and marines in South Korea is their primary purpose is to keep the South Korean army in the south, not the other way around. The US influence keeps the south somewhat calm, and acts as a deterrent to the north.

Hah, no. There's a heck of a lot more that goes on there beyond the detention facilities. The real reason though was pretty boring, I was doing some work for the on-base cable company.
