So let me get this straight - the more zigzags the crank has, the less effort? How about a dragon curve crank? It could be made out of paper, since the pedalling would be so easy it would exert hardly any pressure!
Arrest these folks on suspicion of gathering information that might be useful to terrorists. Ban methane detecting devices. There Boston, I fixed yer gas leak "problem."
Here's another way to look at it: imagine that you, owner of a business, establish a no-photography policy in accordance with the laws of your country. You clearly post signs explaining this policy to inform customers in the official language of your country. A person enters your business and uses an unusual device that appears to be a camera, pointing it at employees, customers and all around your business. You explain to him the policy, ask him to stop using the device. He confirms that it's a camera, then hands you a piece of paper written in a foreign language and refuses to stop using it, in fact filming you while you talk to him. I am no expert in the laws of France, but, having worked as a bouncer, I would be surprised if there is not legal justification for attempting to stop him from filming. Almost certainly the business owner has the right to refuse further service, at which point he is trespassing and can be physically removed.
That being said, not a positive step for customer relations.
but it was a Physician Sanctioned vision assistance system
Why capitalize -- is "Physician Sanctioned" a brand name? There is no magic in those words that would overrule the restaurant owners right to ban cameras.
And folks seem to miss the difference between recording and not recording. If a picture is written into the buffer, that is photography. The fact that most of his imagery was quickly overwritten is aside from the main fact.
Well, yeah... Creationists have never disputed that this kind of thing happens.
This is wrong. I grew up listening to creationists dispute this kind of thing; I was indoctrinated by them from K-10th grade. I lost points in a "biology" class for arguing that mutations could be beneficial.
Thank God I dropped out and educated myself.
Your thoughts are correct. The implied follow-up experiment is to rear in captivity some fish who are descended from this population, and some fish from a different, un-poisoned population. Expose the descendants to the poison; if the trait is inherited rather than acquired, the descendants will show the trait. It is still a bit expensive to do this, but if you sequence the genomes of fish from both populations, find out the small number of places where there are differences, you might isolate a single nucleotide that mutated and caused the resistance.
wtfbbq? What such region might this be? I study biocontrol and mosquitoes, and this seems like a wacky (stupid) idea. The expertise required to rear, transport and release mosquitoes implies some level of expertise (and financing), so I'd be curious who is behind it and how they justify this...

He should have printed himself a 3d printer of his own first.

IF she were empress and able to make combatants/soldiers register their chip identities, why would she allow war at all?
Hmm. You do know that fossil fuel is the remains of dead creatures?

I visited one such region recently
