Pile ups happen on the ground as well, whatever system is in place to manage lofty traffic would manage it far better plus there's the third spatial dimension to take advantage of!
If you think about it, a density wave always moves backwards i.e. cars slow down behind the start of the jam and you always move through it. Just in the case of the galaxy there's no 'backwards' to compare it to so we say everything moves through them.
It's all in the spirit of positivism, refraining from negative words like don't and not.
I suppose if some people are not confident flyers they do* need some fluffy language to see them off rather than being upset even before they take off.
Anything kids or the family do together is at least something, but maybe having an active pet is better, and taking said pet out for a walk in the park might be better, at least you get some sunlight and maybe even see some other people.
What if you'd hypnotised yourself to forget the key on hearing the phrase, "I am arresting you on suspicion of...". Would you be breaking the law then?
The cost of a barrel of oil has little to do with known reserves, it is market forces and governments that control the price. In general you may see a gradual trend in increased cost of a barrel over time but the short term variances caused by market uncertainties (e.g. banks spieling about Peal Oil) will largely swamp the figures.
Yes, good point, we can build robots all we want but they must have a purpose i.e. be driven to an objective to be truly autonomous.
In nature bees act for the benefit of the colony, ultimately to perpetuate the species. A side effect of their existence is interaction with other species in a carefully balanced ecosystem, but they don't know this. All they know is 'get nectar, protect colony', and then they just get on with it without any other intervention.
I'm going to suggest crater rates. You will be able to work out the age of a surface if craters are superimposed on any feature, the assumption is that different epochs have different (reducing) impacts just due to less stuff flying around the inner solar system over time. So if the number of craters since the event can be counted, its age can be derived. From my armchair though I find the photo difficult to see if any craters superimpose or are crossed by the faults.

Re: Teleworking
I actually like working in an office. And I only live 3 miles from where I work. And in my job I could work at home. Go figure.
That's what I saw as well, I had to squint to see a Jerry guard!

200 feet (61 meters) deep
Seieng as though 200 feet is already an approximation, I think stating 60 metres in the conversion would be good enough.
Or...
How about actually ending up in orbit around the juggernaut itself, either by capture or accretion?
Gruesome
What a truly horrible way to go. Especially when she had placed her trust in an expert. :(

Re: Where was Jet Set Willy
Probably unfair to count a sequel if the original is already in the list!
My list
1. Elite
2. Manic Miner
3. Jet Pac
4. Hungry Horace
5. Ant Attack
6. Tranz AM
Never played:
7. Chuckie Egg
7. The Hitch-hikers' Guide to the Galaxy
7. Knight Lore
7. Phanton Slayer
Didn't you forget nethack and Attic Attack?
Re: EH?
I would say that a Pioneer is an innovator by default, later innovators would further develop that which had already been pioneered. Probably.

Nah, we need them as a benchmark, otherwise we've nothing to compare common sense to.

Looking at my map most of northern Mediterranean (coastline anyway) is in Europe.

How will be imbue 'purpose' into robo-bees?
And the camp names, e.g. Ivana Humpalot. Or was that Austin Powers?
