This is a complex issue of the right of publicity. Apparently in the United States, state laws apply. So there's no easy answer. [en.wikipedia.org]

It looks tempting, but I'm disappointed that they don't appear to offer any international roaming. While I don't do a lot of international travel, I've found myself in both Canada and Guam recently, neither of which it appears Straight Talk covers.
This is ignoring the possibility of real time travel being possible in a Primer sort of style, where you can only travel within the light cone of the machine itself.
The problem is who you're targeting. A large, in-person protest isn't actually targeting the NATO reps, it's targeting all the people sitting at home watching the news who might see it and start to wonder if all these protestors have a point.
It's probably due to induced labors and schedule caesareans. If you're doing things naturally, the baby will come when the baby wants to come, but if you can plan ahead of time they're going to minimize the need to call hospital staff in on holidays.
I preferred Thor (anything set in a small town full of Googie architecture can win me over way too easily), but I still liked Captain America. I think my favorite parts of the latter were actually when the government was trying to use him for propaganda, when they got to make fun of the jingoistic tone.
Too bad it's got guy wires and appears to have a rigid pole in the center. I want to see some completely free-standing Lego towers.
It's a side effect of having to hold up a heavy electric harp. And also sway. Apparently the swaying is a big part of the music.
But now if he ever moves those, there's going to be four little scars in the middle of what's otherwise a pretty cool tattoo.
Imaaaaagination!
Wood burning stoves are easily carbon neutral. Trees grow relatively quickly, absorbing a lot of carbon as they go. Burning them releases it, but it's part of a very short cycle. Burning fossil fuels is what releases carbon that's been locked up for millions of years.
Jack Campbell's latest Lost Fleet book came out last week, I think, but that was still May. I don't read a lot of military SF, but I've been enjoying this series.
He sounds like a grief-stricken Gilbert Gottfried.
I'm gonna have to question the minimalist interface point. As a PC user, the interface in Skyrim (and Oblivion) sucks. Sure, it's pretty while you're playing, but it's completely useless. The closest you can come to organizing things is your favorites, which is still way too clunky to use in something like an MMO…
I don't think they were trying to imply that it was only a white American phenomenon, just that this was the group they were studying it in at the time. I'd assume it's mostly a behavior that locals exhibit to non-locals, so you might even see it in, say, New England directed at Southerners.
I'm not sure, but I think it may depend on the game. I know for ME3 it was telling me I couldn't play offline because my save included DLC, and it has to verify that DLC every single time you run the game.
But, but, terrorists! Al Qaeda may spontaneously develop some kind of next-gen fighter that needs to be countered! Or maybe North Korea will starve a few more citizens. Or China. Yeah, we're supposed to be afraid of our most-favored trading partner China, right?
You're missing my point. Whether it reads prints or geometry, it's reading you. You can't change. If criminals can figure out how to fake that (and given enough time, they almost certainly will), how do you rescind that data?
The biggest problem with any biometric ID system is that once it's compromised you're completely screwed. If someone steals my credit card, I can always cancel it and get a new one with a different number. If someone creates a facsimile of my hand print, am I supposed to get surgery?
