Public accommodations are not prohibited from discriminating on the basis of sex by federal law. Furthermore, the bakery is probably not a public accommodation under federal law unless it's principally selling food for consumption on t

States have existed far longer. "Nation state" refers specifically to a state which coincides with a cultural or ethnic group. If you had to choose a starting point for the idea of the nation state, the Treaty of Westphalia is one

I think paternosters are really, really cool. I'd love to ride one. However, I must wonder whether they can be used by the elderly or disabled. How do you board one with a wheelchair? Or do they just run alongside modern elevators in b

I would bet the biggest opposer to divorce will be the INS ... imagine the Green Card businesses that would enable! After all, it should make little difference to INS whether people choose to have their multiple marriages in series or in pa

Lead-free ammo is much more expensive, and gun regulation is a politically charged topic. Any attempt to ban lead ammunition will, rightly or wrongly, be perceived as an attempt to discourage recreational shooting by making ammunition less

The paper doesn't make any sense without the title: "Can n^2 + 1 unit equilateral triangles cover an equilateral triangle of side >n, say n+\epsilon?"

That doesn't matter to an individual developer. Why should they care if the set of all in use USB PIDs has collisions? It's only becomes a problem for them if their PID suffers a collision.

If you buy the idea that MAD is rational, how can you also support SDI? Do you want a nuclear first strike to be a viable option?

Why is Mr. Wilson going out of his way to tell them what it's for? "What are you shipping?" "CNC Mill." "Great, we'll be happy to ship that for you." Don't try to confuse the customer service rep

Ion thrusters basically are low energy particle accelerators already. The problem, aside from energy consumption, is scaling up the thrust. You can't just cram twice as many particles through your particle accelerator without scaling u

That would all be more reassuring if the Census Bureau hadn't assisted in rounding up Japanese Americans during WWII. Whether or not intelligence agencies track minorities now is irrelevant. If Congress ever decides all Arab Americans,

I don't think the lack of a blade is an issue. Don't most people who carry multitools already have pocket knives? Pocket knives which are often better quality than any multitool blade you're likely to find?

The allegation that Dr. Gat was a spy seems to be sensationalism on the part of the Pasadena Star. One doesn't need to be a spy to violate ITAR. The most substantial allegations against Dr. Gat are that he shared data with his adviser.

Antares has a maximum payload of 6000kg. This is roughly the same as the launch mass of the Apollo command module, which weighed 5500kg. To rescue the command module in an emergency, Apollo missions had a 4200kg launch escape system. So we

Concealed carry has nothing to do with it. You don't need a CC permit to take advantage of the FOPA safe passage provisions, and FOPA won't protect you if you're carrying on your person even if you have a CC permit valid at t

The problem isn't captchas, but users not understanding how to interact with them. So what if a few are bad? Hammer out best guesses, fast as you can, until you're successful. It's not as if you're graded on accuracy. Th
