Except those small islands near Alaska are natural, and have always been there, (On a human timescale, anyways) and were part of the original Alaska purchase. The one China uses to claim a whole sea was completely artificial, and built for the sole purpose of claiming new areas.
No. I rounded off the numbers. A Mercury day is exactly 2 Mercury years. Which is why it's "in resonance". That means that gravity will speed up or slow down the rotation to keep the ratio stable over time.
It could also be how the Apple trial was just in front of the judge, but the Google trial went to a jury. Could Epic have had a different result if they requested a jury trial the first time?
Mercury orbits the sun every 88 earth days. It spins on its axis every 59 earth days, relative to an outside observer (sidereal day.) That makes the solar day (from sunrise to sunrise) 179 earth days long.
But when you wake "fully refreshed" you are only good for the next 16 hours. Then you will be tired like any end of day, and out of sync with everyone else's schedule, and still have to wait for the 20 hour cool down.
It's software. There's literally no reason to treat it like a car lease. There is no overhead or cost on their part which justifies an early termination fee.
Probably a serial number for the stamp. In the US, you can even pay online and print your own stamp, and it uses the barcode to track when you use it, so it can't be used twice.
Interference is a legit issue, especially if there is an active USB3 port near the mouse dongle. This is because USB3 specifically does create some mild interference near the 2.4GHz range used by the wireless mouse. The back ports of the motherboard also sit with the metal box between the dongle and the mouse, blocking some of the signal. Using a box-front port, or a keyboard port as you did, helps separate the dongle from potential interference sources. Even just a few inches helps a lot.
Right, but you have to be in the class to do that. If they didn't notify you because they don't think you were in the class, then that shouldn't reduce you legal options. And if they do think you're in the class and don't notify you or send you the settlement, that's just straight malicious.
But the old USB chargers didn't have high speed charging (2+amps) until much later. Most cell phones can't charge effectively from the original 0.5A standard USB.
There are two kinds of asset forfeiture: civil and criminal. Criminal would be what you describe, if you are convicted they can seize any property involved in the crime. Civil asset forfeiture is something else, and it often abused to take things where the crime is only suspected. (It was originally supposed to be used to take property involved in a crime, such as an empty pirate ship, where the owner is not known.)
The mortgage is a type of lien. But there are other kinds of liens, such as when a contractor works on your house, and you didn't pay them, they can place a lien on the property until you pay. In the worst case, a contractor could forclose and force the sale to cover the debt.
Many more recent cars will do this automatically at high throttle conditions, such as acceleration to pass.
