There are no mineral rights. If a state claims you products on the way back to earth, or intercepts your minerals before you can get them, who are you going to complain to? Its not mineral rights, it will be pure you can take all you like, but you can only keep what you can defend.

From the Lockheed Martin site : “The smaller size will allow us to design, build and test the CFR in less than a year.

After completing several of these design-build-test cycles, the team anticipates being able to produce a prototype in five years."

They ain't got nothin' yet.

And, for Christ's sake, that's not a self-portrait any more than me taking a picture of my arm is a self-portrait.


You mean a bad self-portrait ??

Except for Canadian Football. But then you'd not want to use our field, its bigger

Its miles only in the summary; the article is in SI units. Apparently, someone believes that folks on Slashdot either don't know what a kilometer is or are incapable of converting them to another unit of measurement.

If the government already has your meta data, request the government to provide you a copy. At no time should a government have any information about you that you cannot fully review.

Usually a foreign property search requires the permission of that country to pre-approve the search. I very much doubt the US requested permission. Violating another country's sovereignty should never be taken lightly.

Thank goodness that "obligation to shareholders" does not include a 100% fixation on the bottom line. Governance is about achieving value, which is not the same as maximizing share return. Feel free to vote with your feet, if you don't like the way the company you bought into is being run.

The cost of movies, even today, is based on what the market will support. Yes, sometimes movies make a ton of profit, but sometimes they lose. If you don't want to spend big bucks on a big name actress, then don't. But the risks of not making any money might go up. Its all risky, and large corporations tend to be risk averse.

To be honest, the budgets for most movies is driven by labour costs, and the largest component of that is for A-listers.

I flatlined in a dentist's chair, while awaiting wisdom teeth removal surgery. Turns out that while gas was being introduced I was playing feedback games with my heart monitor - intentionally raising and lowering my heartrate - the attendant was shaking her head in disbelief. Then there was a problem in another suite, so my attendant was obligated to turn me back from gas to air while she had to step out of the room. I watched her leave. A few seconds later, my heart monitor goes into alarm, and I turned to see my monitor go flatline.

My attendant rushed back in, looked at monitor, then looked at me. In disgust, she walked to me and put the monitor back on my finger.

Then I woke up in recovery.

Summer Ice retreat in the arctic has never been more severe in our records. Ice thickness has similarly never been so low. The extent of winter ice is entirely a different matter. Its the difference between "weather" and "climate".

Which supports the inclusion in the first option of "that I am aware of". Many folks may be affected by red-green colourblindness, but they may not be aware (if its mild). Also, while there is a general 10% rule including men and women, there are racial and sub-racial variances in there as well. the slashdot population may be higher in males than the general population but it may also be higher in other populations with a lower typical rate.

Except that politicians will apply any new cognitive abilities to suit their prime consideration: reelection. What our politicians are interested in is how to make the "country" better. This is not the same as making the country better for its citizens. The metric for how they make the country better is how can they make the country better for themselves. Does this mean I'm lumping all the politicians together, and painting politicians that really are looking out for the greatest good of their citizens with the same brush? Sadly, yes. But I look forward to the 1% proving me wrong.

Yes, I know that some mods add realism (reentry heating, for example), that was one I seriously considered.

I play stock only. I imagine it is harder, but then the purpose of the game isn't to win, its to achieve. When I assembled my 1050t, 900 part mothership in orbit (13 launches) around Kerbin then flew it to Jool to explore all the moons at the same time using dedicated explorer ships, was it hard and rather tedious to do it without using a single mod or manipulating craft files? Damn right it was, especially when the part count got higher and the framerate dropped. Manual orbital maneuvers and docking can be a bitch at times.

Only ever considered the cosmetic mods, but never downloaded them when I saw the performance hit they all impart.

I just don't see the benefit of adding mods to take away the hard work, when the whole point is the effort. And yes, I only play minecraft on hardcore.
