So, I fear I'm being trolled, but you didn't actually mention what in particular you find compelling as "new thought, new possibilities" would be equally as applicable to alot of science fiction. I would say evidence is

Perhaps you could discuss why you think their points are compelling? Looking through them, they seem to mostly be the author's opinions without any real research or evidence, and some seem to be counter-factual. As a couple examples

I mean, while I feel his pain and understand the compulsion to look at it like he threw away $4.8M, at the point he realized what he'd done, it was worth about $4k. He could have bought them back for $4k at that point, and the lost $4

My reading is that the half second only accounts for reaction time, not stopping distance. Two cars head on at highway speeds would barely be able to stop from a 200m detection.

Actually, most objects of any size are actively tracked pretty much continually from the ground. That's especially true of a state's classified space plane.

I'm curious, what do you believe is the minimum level of help a company must provide its suppliers in order to turn a competitor buying them out into despicable business behavior? Is simply being a long-standing customer enough? How

Actually, probably. My parents are in very rural TN, and they get their telephone and internet from a rural co-op [0]. A few years back, that co-op got a grant (though, federal I think) to roll out fiber, which blew everyone's mind. T

Yeah, reading the bill ( http://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/Default.aspx?BillNu... ), it seems pretty apparent that it's actually a step in the right direction, opening things up for co-ops and making mon

Reading the actual bill [0], this coverage seems slanted. The bill specifically allows rural electric and phone co-ops to offer broadband, and also says that they can provide it outside their service area as long as they get the permission

For the first two loops, everyone runs clockwise. For the next two, counter clockwise. For the last lap, the leader picks a direction and anyone left alternates, so odds follow the leader, evens go the opposite way. In this case, John pic

You're not the only one. I'm nearly identical. Losing access to $1k for a year or two (with the ability to get it back within a few weeks) is completely a non-factor, and since it increases my chance of a $7500 rebate, seems like

Actually, I think his whole point was that it wasn't really justifiable, but it wasn't the US Army that did it (I am curious who it was). Totally agree about the proximity thing.

Presumably he meant the relative ease of the USPS, not the sender/receiver's ease at getting the USPS to do the additional search. In other words, if the insurance payout had been higher, that would have triggered the more thorou
