Spy satellites can actually lower defense spending, by showing that theres nothing to worry about from potential adversaries.
Definitely true that NASAs budget needs a huge increase, though. One survey suggested that people think NASA gets 20% of the federal budget, when it actually gets around 0.5% down from a peak of over 4% during the Apollo program Doubling it doesnt seem unreasonable with that perspective.
AFAIK, theyre just seeing that youre using the separate default tethering APN. So you can use an app that implements tethering on its own, rather than through the default API (PdaNet is apparently popular).
Well, for starters, youve got 99 year leases (at least traditionally). Then there are rules against perpetuities (21 years in the UK, usually 90 in the US).
Hey, dont perpetuate the stereotype that all remakes are bad. The first film that comes to mind was the 2008 version of The Andromeda Strain from A&E, which was quite good (although if it was based more on the book rather than the first film, it might not count). For the sake of brevity, Ill restrict myself to a particular genre for the rest of my examples: The remakes of The Thomas Crown Affair, Oceans 11 and The Italian Job were all, if anything, better than the originals in my opinion.
To be sure, some films (Im thinking of you, WarGames: The Dead Code) can just never live up to the originals. But some most certainly do.
