Most bars get annoyed if you sit there and not purchase anything to eat or drink.

So there is a cost, but you can combine it with a meal too.

Value meals for sports fans.

yes and no. the internet exposes more ideas to more people. remember it is relatively easy to post a youtube video that gets seen by a million people. at least 1% of 1% of that group will be complete and utter morons about it and very vocal at the same time.

great now the christians are going to call the internet the tree of knowledge and get it declared forbidden in their quest for religious zealotry.

Saying there is no conspiracy involved generally leads people to believe there is one.

I do know what you are saying at least in part, but google uses all sorts of tracking to find you. Google range rover in IE without adblock and watch for the next month. rage rover ads will feature promentaly on every website you visit even if google has nothing to do with them.

I use adblock on safari at home and I don't have those issues. turn off adblock for a while and the web becomes something a lot messier.

You would then have to land said colony ship. Consider trying to land the ISS. it just isn't feasible. It is to big, and you couldn't slow it down enough. The best you can do is disassemble it in space and drop down sections of it.

Next your spaceship was only big enough for the flight crew plus embryos, and equipment. you still don't have any fresh water supplies, any waste management areas setup, no longer term living quarters.

For the first 50 years it will be like living in a modern version of the Old west or like Firefly's frontier towns. High tech yes, but still dirt roads. Sure solar panels provide you with light heat and hot water, which makes life easier but you still need to be chopping down trees, clearing land, etc.

ah but you are forgetting one very important fact. Countries treat each other like 7-10 years at recess treat each other. Look at my shiny toy, no give me that, don't pull my hair I am warring you, give me your money, eww billy's got cooties, etc.

watch the UN some day and replace all the adults with children. the actions are so close it isn't funny but turns into a sad comedy.

until countries grow up and start acting like adults none of this will improve.

for me the online part sucks hard. comcast makes the game stutter like a bitch. I can't play as I click count to 2 and die as the monsters have hit me 40 times.

Then you aren't paying attention. I have a couple of fairway drivers designed to hit off grass instead of tees. These are angled to hit farther than an equivalent 1 or 2 iron.

Not everyone plays golf smart. If the ground was mostly flat they may go for distance over positioning. If I can't get on the green I play short. But many people will play range of potential shot first. Instead of landing best for the next.

Paper files last longer but the basics of updating, storage, and retrieval sucks majorly. In fact error rates as high as 30% are not unheard of. Digital files tend to be updated more frequently and access is generally easier.

Not to mention storage space is considerably smaller

The NSA is the exception. Still snowden proves the NSA relies on 50's era trust for documents. Why wasn't secure connections established for Hawaii? How many other sites does the NSA allow full access to their documents.

Also the NSA fired 90% of their Admins shortly afterwards. If they were that overstaffed what else is their bureaucracy screwing up?

the trick is CCTV' cams aren't being uploaded to the internet for the express usage of using facial recognition to pull up your google + and Facebook pages. In fact most CCTV footage doesn't last more than 24 hours before being over written.

just play candy crush and other such touch and drag games and watch the pattern unlock vanish into a mess.

because large chunks of land are currently frozen. Canada and Russia(the two largest countries) have tons of land but only a small percentage of those lands are farmable.

Of course this report doesn't take into account that changing weather will also change which places are warm in the winter and which are to cold to survive.

and I would still take that manned fighter over ten unmanned ones every day.

You see you have a real brain in the manned fighter. in the unmanned ones you are limited by cameras, radar and your communications link.

See what happened to a recent lost airline flight when your communications disappear. radar can only tell you so much. camera's don't work well without feedback from the controls. heck a couple of modified ICBM's. can wipe out everything you just dreamed about. start blowing up satellites that only highly developed countries really depend on and watch those drones become expensive paper weights.

Not to mention but JMS can actually write dialog and direct actors without using puppet strings.

I would ask. 20 years later can we get a remake of crusade to finish what was started?
