You would not be able to let anyone else drive it, ever.
You would have to pay an extra licensing fee to drive with a friend in the car.
If other people look at it, you would have to pay a fee.
You would not be allowed to sell it.
If you totalled it, you would not be allowed to remove and reuse the stereo, or anything for that matter.
The RIAA/MPAA would be the police, and would follow you around at random to see if you have someone else in your car, or or loaned it to someone.
Tell me this, if the movie industry did not constantly brag about how they made $500 Million dollars in the first weekend while you have to pay $8 for popcorn to watch thier movie, wouldn't you feel better about buying the movie? I would. Tom cruise is not worth $50 million a movie. Stop paying him this much, and I will reconsider.
The net effect on bouancy is considered negligeable. The layer of bubbles they are talking about is much thinner than you imagine.
Good thinking, though - you are correct that there is ongoing research about using gaseous pockets as a weapon against ships. Once it can be controlled and issues of scale are addressed, it will be an incredibly effective weapon. I have seen wave tank simulations where the target is swamped and/or rolled and unsaveable in a matter of seconds. Impressive and scary.
It is interesting that darpa calls this new research - it's out there already. Can't tell you any more,or I would have to feed you polonium.
BAH!! I was in the wrong post when I clicked reply.
YES they will make money collecting the trach - The local company that owns the trucks will still collect it, but part of that money pays the dump to take it, which is owned by the county.
And no, I didn't exactly use an incorrect form of "too", I just typo'd it. Kind of like you spelling couldn't "coudln't"... ( "...coudln't the plant be developed by a private energy company as well? )
And yes, it certainly could be, it is all up to the county and state. As long as emmissions and waste disposal are regulated, I think that private industry would do a better job of development. I am unclear as to exactly who owns the florida plant, it sounds like it IS the company that builds it, but alas, the media never gives geeks the detail that we want...
3am?? Get some sleep. You have school.
"Also, you can't borrow $425 million today and expect to pay back $490 million over the next 20 years, even if you are a local government that can issue tax-free municipal bonds." Duh - That is not what he was saying. He was merely estimating 20 year revenue from electricity generation. These estimates, while more accurate than yours, do not include inflation, which will cause electricity prices to rise, generating more revenue (The bond interest rate is fixed) nor does it include revenue from trash disposal. You know, all that money that is charged to dump trash in the dump - They will charge you this money to dump trash in thier super duper plasma incinerator er, I mean vaporizer. Believe me, they WILL make money. They may or may not be a little off on thier estimates of emissions, but they have a sound business plan. You are far to focused on the one and only portion of the big picture that you think you understand. Go to college. Take real classes. Learn about the world. Get smarter.
