Heat disburses in air. All the heat is still there, mixed in with the rest of the earth (and it's atmosphere).

The objection is beyond silly. The product is based on a 35 year old movie that didn't offend them. Even if they had a claim, they'd have to stand in line behind the British, who were the stereotype of the Imperials.
Vader blocked that with a mechanical prosthetic. There was nothing in that scene that made The Force an overriding plot device.
If by working you mean that it can flash blinky lights. And if you mean "just like the one made famous" to say it can scorch holes through a single sheet of the paper the comic is written on, then yes. It's just like Iron Man's laser cutter that can punch through several inches of solid steel.
What's the problem? Does the employee contract have a clause against subcontracting?
No, it's a privilege in practice. Arms are licensed, regulated, banned in most public venues, removed from ex-criminals and public threats by urban town level legislation, and not a viable defense in court for almost any use outside defending the interior of your home.
Which is why a better plan is to allow teachers to have the choice to fund their own classes and certifications, and carry firearms if they so choose. There's also the option of simply posting an officer at the school. You know, a city paid officer. I'm sure most towns could do with one less speed trap.
There aren't any real numbers on successful defenses with firearms. There's way too much liability to actually defending yourself in a proper manner with a firearm to report it.
You nailed it. The running cost of maintaining dual systems is less than the cost of repurchasing and retooling all the equipment. It's amazing how much equipment is in use in America that would be cost prohibitive to refit to metric or SI.
The US is SLOWLY (as in glacially slowly) making it's way to metric. The more we open our borders and tariffs to outside trade, the more we slide into step with the rest of the world.
Stand right there. Don't move. Nasa will brink progress to you.
AMD and Cyrix made some with ridiculous multipliers.
Ask the Confederacy.
They only threw Palin in there for lip service to the Republican females because they knew they couldn't beat Obama in the first place.
Isn't kind of a bad idea to deliberately mess up controlling computers in a nuclear plant?
I get that Iran has a deserved reputation for abusing their neighbors, but if the US causes a meltdown, then we're in the wrong.
The last person that quit or was fired will be held responsible for everything that goes wrong -- until the next person quits or is fired.
