Smash those looms!

Cameron has made many pillars of sci-fi cinema, but Avatar and Titanic were terrible, maudlin and derivative.

Er, there's a pretty active open source community around 3d printing.

I think we're suffering from science journalism. We don't know what he's really doing.

Neither do pharmaceutical manufacturers, though.

When they say an exoplanet is x times the size of Earth, what do they mean by that? Mass? Diameter?

So, is he descended from giants after all?

For the same reason Clark Kent taking off his glasses makes everyone else nearsighted.

I'm sure it will be fine.

In most cases, I would agree, but in the case of accepting noble title, the crime is both indisputable and ongoing.

We need an Andy & Sam buddy cop show, like now.

I'm afraid we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this. Accepting a noble title is the only crime I feel warrants capital punishment, so you can imagine how offensive I find someone actually defending the practice.

Then they should feel free to abdicate.

There's not much point investing in a territory if you can't lay claim to it, so there's almost no investment in space. As Dr. Tyson likes to point out, in the US it's half a penny on the dollar.

You seem to be confusing legal and rightful.

My goddamn Moon City ;)

I would contend that, by definition, there is no rightful heir to any throne.

You're right, but all to often the paid option is less convenient than the rum and parrots. Netflix won't let me just stream their content on my HTPC, cause I might pirate it. So I have to pirate it or go without.

It doesn't even have to be, though. There's an explicit clause that lets them toss the treaty if and when it's ever advantageous to do so.
