I think developing a grid system where there can only be so much average population density in a given area would be the best way to handle it. Setting aside half our land is kind of absurd in that it's inevitably going to be undesirab

Yes definitely, but it'd be hard to edit out a guy looking around for the cameras, and IIRC there was an episode of Punked where exactly that happened and they got called out, someone shouted "where the fuck is Ashton?" and r

I think lying turns it from a prank and into a scam. A prank shouldn't require fraud to work. It's like the show Punked, the best ones (thinking the kid from Malcolm in the Middle) relied entirely on the victim getting tunnel visi

Well to be fair you could smoke a cigar infrequently enough to have no defineable effect on your health and the act of sitting down and relaxing quietly for a half hour for a good cigar is likely to be beneficial to your health. So given en

Armoured vans used by banks are highly dangerous on the roads, so are just regular armoured cars. Putting a MRAP into the hands of people who do not routinely drive them is just gross negligence. If the drive hits anything at road speeds

This is what me and my wife did. She bought the same laser printer she has at work for home and it works amazing. It was cheap, and not being caught in the ink racket makes it cheaper. There's very few instances you actually need to pr

Compare this to a game like KSP where modding is also very popular. Installing a mod is generally: extract rar to game folder. Step two is play the game.

Honestly this is more insidious than the brain washing that went on in the Hitler Youth. This has got to be what the Jews in the ghettos were seeing before everyone found out who they were to be used on.

It could just be because you're harvesting them when ripe, similar to how tomatoes grown in your garden seem to have 10 times the flavour as the store bought ones. However, I wouldn't rule out a difference in the actual flavour be

I don't think this works in socialist countries. "Pay up or I'll break your legs!" "Okay, you won't get your money, I get my legs fixed for free and I get disability and unemployment."

I used to be a game reviewer, for about 80% of the games on the market you're right. However, some just make it all their own and it can be on a per game basis. Diakatana was obviously a Quake II engine game, Anachranox was not. The en

I'm always curious how dinosaurs this large even got to food. Did they just bulldoze their way through trees and use their long knecks to strip the foliage all around themselves? Elephants can do it at 5 tons, I'm sure at 65 tons

I would assume if it has to stay above the weather its wings would be very prone to breaking. However at a descent rate of 0.5m/s and a 40:1 glide ratio. Descending the ~20,000ft before hitting weather would mean 150 miles travelled be

It definitely does! However, if one of these did go uncontrolled and break up, it's a kinetic impactor. The Uranium core should act like a DU penetrator if the craft disintegrated, meaning it should penetrate ~6 times its length. The N

I know here in Canada rail is far more reliable in winter than highway. Raised rail lines tend to stay clear of snow build up. Snow on the rails isn't a big issue, its more the build up that bottoms out the train. I doubt these will be
