And now imagine instead of being a bottle, it's a dense matrix made to maximize surface area and fresh air is pushed through with a solar-powered fan to accelerate the "condensation." Sort of like an evaporative cooling chiller in reverse. It could be really useful in humid tropical areas and a good alternative to desalination plants.
I think these tax evasion cheerleaders are the kind of people who would see no problem with using glitches to gain an advantage in a videogame. After all it's no different from being able to aim really good or use good strategy, right?
Just strap the turkey to your stomach, it'll just look like you have a horribly misshapen belly on the nudie scanner. Then bring the oil in a large number of tiny containers. If you need a larger container, simply buy a large bottle of soda in a store in the airport terminal. For heat, use any AC-powered device like a Prescott-powered laptop, planes generally have a power socket in the seatback now.
Above 500mA is enough to stop your heart, 1 or 2 amps is plenty enough.
7kV isn't a lot. A police taser is 50-100kV. Your average static zap is in the 5-digit range. Your wall plug is 110v or 220v. Think that's safer than a police taser?
You think the average person will somehow be wealthier while dealing with the effects of global warming?I think higher food prices alone could eat that up quickly, and then there are cooling costs and the costs of dealing with natural disasters. Assuming again that the rich say "let them eat cake" and put all the burden on the lower classes, your plan will only give short-term gains.
Doing nothing now means having a bigger problem to deal with in the future. You're gambling that the increase in wealth is more than enough to handle the increase in the gravity of the problem, in a world of decreasing resources. I'd rather play it safe than kick the problem down the road and cross my fingers.
Who has actually shown a real AGW problem that needs our urgent attention? Nobody so far.
Let's ignore the more powerful storms and the droughts we've recently witnessed that are hard to pin on global warming. The water management and agricultural land availability problems and the loss of coastal land from modest sea level increases are pretty well-studied, are you just going to ignore those? Not worried about ocean CO2 levels at all? Gonna go right into it with coal plants blazing and forests in decline and see what happens? Could you deal with the consequences if you were 100% wrong? If I'm 100% wrong it just means we have clean sustainable energy and maybe less megayachts.
You assume that the rich won't or can't help pay to fix global warming, and therefore it's best to maximize their numbers to give the best chances for the survival of the human race. We can tax them, they'll live, they'll get over having to settle for gold-rimmed pools.
Further, we can with these more sophisticated tools simply wait and see.
Unless your more sophisticated tools are a time machine or a massive geoengineering project, this seems like a bad idea...it's not the kind of thing you want to wait and see, or at this point, I'd say even get closer to seeing.
All comparisons to fictional situations are inherently fallacious? Aw too bad I really liked using those.
Anyways, we've discussed in this thread that climate change poses a bigger threat to people of lower incomes - at least I think so, it's harder for them to relocate, power AC units, afford hydroponically grown food, etc. When the economy grows a small percentage of the population gets most of the benefit - shown by a few decades of economic numbers at this point. At the same time a shrinking economy hits the lower classes far harder, but if they get hit too hard they might revolt and the upper classes will voluntarily take some responsibility to avoid doing the Elysium thing which is far from ideal. If we go full-steam ahead with environmental destruction, there is a greater chance of running into an unmanageable crisis where the richies have no option but to hop on their ark* and hope for the best while the rest of the world turns into Mad M-, uh, a barren dystopian world with roving bands of survivors fighting for resources.

That's true, like how rocket-jumping started. I was thinking more along the lines of wallhacks which are pretty unsporting.

Or hide it inside a wall.
No but you could have a warlord busting into the house, taking the goodies, killing the dad and taking the little girl for a sex slave.
Parts of Somalia have anarchy right now. Go now, run to your paradise!
You can get one from one of the Linux laptop shops...for way more money, for some reason...
In this case I don't think the submitter is a shill, he (or she) has submitted only Australia-related stories, including some are negative towards MS.
You're going to be the next one to crumple your little plane against a government building I bet.

Only if you cut *rounded* corners on your tax form

Nobody gives a shit anymore, sadly. Hell it takes something as bad as Syria to even get those sanctions and embargoes these days.
Oh sorry, and also "shutting the whole thing down" in cases of legitimate rape.
The right-wingers' alternative to abortion is abstinence-only sex education.

Happy Thanksgiving, Cooldude.
You'd know this if you didn't go outside.

You know Amazon said that handling a 50x2 table of state tax rates was too complex...

*I'm calling this a well-established metaphor
Wasn't there a Slashdot story on this recently?

That's all I can find. But they are a bunch of tinfoil hatters (surprise surprise!):

Sorry it sounds like you're trying to make the plot of Elysium come true.
