You forget the cost problem. I can not afford a half million dollar car and people in canada have to drive rediculous distances all the time so our cars do not last very long.
Half million dollars? That's like saying Intel's next chip won't catch on because they spend hundreds of millions of dollars developing it and who could pay that much for a computer.
You said you drive a 95 neon and an 06 Dodge 3500. What do you mean your cars don't last long?
The driving conditions you describe actually seem an ideal place for AI to start to become feasible. Replacing a truck driver with an AI would save over $30,000 each year (I don't know about Canada but U.S. truck drivers start around $30,000).
I believe Obama (and Clinton with Kosovo) argued that since there were no ground troops the War Powers Act didn't apply. Since the War Powers Act says things like 'forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days'. Well if you're flying in and out of the country with air strikes, armed forces are not remaining for more than 60 days at any given time. I'm not defending their position but that's what they argue. Whether it's illegal or not has never been determined. Likewise, whether the War Powers Act is constitutional or not has never been determined (since it's never been challenged).
The Constitution Article 1 Section 8 gives the Legislature the power 'To Declare War'. A Declaration of war is largely semantics (and has been in other countries as well including before the U.S. existed), yet it stands that we have only formally declared war 5 times. Pragmatically it is obvious that we have gone to war more times and that Congress has supported military actions more than 5 times.
Because if Facebook says something is only visible to "Me and My Friends", you'd expect them to be actually telling the truth.

I may be wrong but it seems to me, one of your 'friends' would have to mark it as unsuitable first. This is a pretty much universal rule whether online or in meat-space. If you tell a friend a secret they may tell someone else your secret.
Where I work, no one telecommutes but it is a large facility physically. It is reiterated to everyone constantly that if something is important, you pick up the phone. Many employees have work cell phones and all Managers have cell phones capable of receiving email. In your example, if something could wait 5 hours it seems it wasn't that urgent anyway. While 'hey bob' is easier, sometimes it is too easy. I have worked for bosses that 'hey'd' me so much I could hardly focus on anything.
Unfortunately leadership is often measured in confidence and confidence has a strong correlation with being a good liar. I believe Plato said "And so it turns out that nothing is so firmly believed as whatever we know least about, and that no persons are more sure of themselves than those who tell us tall stories"
Interesting. Would still be for the FDA regulating what requires a prescription and which ones don't? If I'm informed and I am able to make my own decision I don't think I should need a doctor either.
Turn of the century, in its broadest sense, refers to the transition from one century to another. The term is most often used to indicate a non-specific time period either before or after the beginning of a century.
Then again, the earth is flat! Anyone who disagrees with the flat earth is a Flat Earth Denier! Heretic! How dare you go against the almighty consensus that the earth is flat!!!!
I find this to be the most interesting argument to go against modern scientific consensus. The reason I find it interesting is that intellects and scientest have known the earth is round for a very long time. It was mostly the Church and the public that thought the earth was flat. The idea that the earth is round dates back 2600 years and 1700 years ago it was a given.
The euro is the second largest reserve currency as well as the second most traded currency in the world after the United States dollar.[5][6] As of November 2011, with nearly €891 billion in circulation, the euro has the highest combined value of banknotes and coins in circulation in the world, having surpassed the US dollar.
As of 30 October 2009:
Total EUR currency (coins and banknotes) in circulation 771.5 (banknotes) + 21.032 (coins) =792.53 billion EUR * 1.48 (exchange rate) = 1,080 billion USD
Total USD currency (coins and banknotes) in circulation 859 billion USD
Most money already is electronic. Total U.S. money (M3) is around 10 trillion dollars. Hard U.S. currency in terms of bills and coins is a little under 1 trillion and of that 1/2 to 2/3 is outside of the U.S. I do agree with your sentiment though.
Sorry, just noticed I put x chromosome in my original post and that led to the except. Funny how you can reread something and your brain will just keep reading what it expects to see.
I'm interested, why the except? Just because it doesn't get combined with the mother's DNA it really doesn't change the fundamental concepts of evolution. Sure it helps to have to genes to make a protein in case one fails but I don't see that it's required. My understanding is mitochondrial is passed on unchanged. Would there be any reason to suspect it will degrade because of this? The first lifeforms and a lot of life today produces asexually. It doesn't seem to imply a degradation to the point of extinction.
I never quite understood the idea of men going extinct. I'm not a biologist but it seems the last place survival of the fittest is going to stop working is on the first step. I mean once an x chromosome in a male stops functioning it's not going to get passed on. The ones that continue to function will continue to be passed on.

Congress voted for war in Iraq so stfu until you have some facts at the table
They voted for military engagement but did not declare war. Congress has only declared war formally 5 times

And their just wrong. The Internet did take off in the early 80's Sure it didn't go straight from 1 to 1 billion but it never did.

the period from about ten years before to ten years after a new century.
Orbiting isn't about elevation
Elevation and velocity are inversely proportional

This is especially true in countries where farms haven't evolved into 'super-farms'.
That doesn't sound right.

Don't forget to Google OSX.RSPlug.A, OSX/Puper, and OSX/Jahlav-C
You have to admit they do okay
Just because people think they can shame Google into playing nice, doesn't mean those Doubleclick rat bastards will
I think Google owns Doubleclick. But you're right, privacy has to start with the client.
I propose that the inventor of these products be force fed them for 20 years.
I wonder if that would give him a tasty liver.
