College campuses offer free 3G to students in the US or telcos offer 3G coverage in metropolitan areas? Two very different things and I'd be impressed (and surprised) if it was the former.
LOL good luck reading paper books without gas for the chainsaws, diesel for the cranes and trucks to the mill, hundreds of megawatts of electricity for the paper mills, diesel for the trucks to the printers, oil for the printing press ink, propane for the pallet forklifts, diesel for the trucks to the store, gasoline to drive to and from the store...
Because paper was invented after industrialisation, am I right?
There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on [pauses] shame on you. Fool me - I can't get fooled again.
As far-fetched as it may be for you, unmanned craft are used for research (HST anyone?), communication, weather, navigation, electronic reconnaissance and remote-imaging (amongst other things).
Ahhhh....The US Government has spent USD$583,283,000,000 in 2008 on military expenditure.
Compare that to USD$311,920,000,000 for the entire European Union (or the 50 to 60 billion Russia and China admit to spending) and you start to see how everyone really does pale in comparison to the war machine.
I don't see how tardigrades are going to help terraform a planet by simply inhabiting a given source of water given that, on Earth at least, they have been found in numbers reaching 25,000bpL (bears per litre).
Surely they need something to eat?
Wouldn't we be better off using something along the lines of the genetically modified E. Coli that synthesises biofuel?
Because it's a lot easier to pull apart half a car for a hundred pound battery array than just stealing your audio system, which would reap a similar (if not greater) bounty within minutes.
CD\DVD copy protection developed by Sony DADC. The newer versions of the 'protection' scheme try to restrict 1:1 copying. I couldn't find a reference to when it was first used, but archive.org provides a mirror of securerom.com since Oct 08, 1999, so this is hardly new technology.
Are you sure you are a gamer? Titles using SecuROM include: Armed Assault, Bioshock, Neverwinter Nights 2, C&C 3: Tiberium Wars, Tomb Raider Anniversary, Overlord, Hellgate: London, Spore (and the creature creator), Baldur's Gate II, Unreal Tournament 2003, Hitman 2, Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, Lord Of The Rings, and The Sims 2. That's just the tip of the iceberg! Granted, it is mainly used for Windows games but I was under the impression that some PS3 and XBOX360 titles implemented the system, aswell.
Luckily, there are a dedicated group of people constantly working to exterminate these nasty "copy-protection" mechanisms. ClonyXXL and Alcoholer are but two applications that will scan the game and set the correct settings in your burning software (CloneCD or Alcohol 120%). There are also a number of patches if you look around.
For someone with a GNU/Linux sig I thought you prompt would look more like:
luser@box:~$
but I guess it's just cooler to pretend you're running Ubuntu, right?
In Hinduism there isn't a text that is a must for its' followers. One can get to Eternal Bliss(tm) without reading the sacred texts. The Vedas are arguably the oldest sacred texts that are still used.
or the Americans in Israel refuse to cooperate There, fixed that for you.
Prior to the Nixon administration, the United States had never employed its veto power in the U.N. Security Council. It was first used March 17, 1970 over Southern Rhodesia. The second U.S. veto came two years later, when Washington sought to protect Israel from a resolution condemning Israel for one of its attacks on its neighbors. Since then, the United States has cast its veto [...] to shield Israel from Security Council draft resolutions that condemned, deplored, denounced, demanded, affirmed, endorsed, called on and urged Israel to obey the world body.
The first complex life including the first fishes, corals, trilobites and shellfishes only appeared in the Cambrian period which started about 542 (±1) Ma There, fixed that for you.
From wiki:
In Britain and most Commonwealth nations, special wigs are also worn by barristers, judges, and certain parliamentary and municipal or civic officials as a symbol of the office. The original purpose of the legal wig was said to provide a form of anonymity and safety (i.e. disguise). Today, Hong Kong barristers and judges continue to wear wigs as part of court dress as an influence from their former jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Nations. In July 2007, judges in New South Wales, Australia voted to discontinue to wearing of wigs in the NSW Court of Appeal.
Especially when you consider that it's kinda hard to brake without anything solid for the wheels to grap. You'd put wheels on a flying car for, you know, flying?

I think you meant litigation
There simply isn't that much demand "sending small unmanned craft to do [unspecified] things".
You mean like these?

I don't make money by selling people their own production numbers back to them.
TV ratings simply don't work like this but you sure seem thicker now.

Now you just have to wait for a substantial drop in their standards (and hope they aren't already too busy getting it on).
The best laid plans...
I've heard of these do-hickeys that navigate the tubes for you. Crawling tube spiders or something
Please hand in your geek card immediately.
Some geek (and gamer!); I spit on your grave!

I'm not trying to argue with what is written in the document but wouldn't following a UAV with a "chase aircraft" defeat the purpose slightly?
no one said anything about surviving
Never seen that movie but you reminded me of this.
