Well you could make a robot that is powered by drinking the blood of its enemies.
But honestly, if I were making a killer robot, I would probably just make it so that it could plug itself into outlets or just grab power lines if it were running low.
If only. The problem is that only a few people have the intelligence and skill, and they do not have the time and/or the interest. Random wackjobs have all the time in the world, but none of the intelligence and skill.
Because all you are going to get is users deciding that they they cannot come up with a 10th password that year and just going picking "123456".
"I'd like to see adopted just about everywhere I have a password (which, these days, is quite a few)" What a joke. If every site used this method I, and many other people, would need to change multiple passwords every single day of the year. The entire system would break down and become completely unmanageable
I think the idea if that you could create a stable laser, that exists in some reflective box. And you would keep adding power to it forever. Or at least until it exploded.
And it must of been a very long time since you have had any schooling in high school or university.
The curriculum is tight, and specific. Not only is that new discovery not at all going to help you pass a chem exam, but there is no time to teach it.
Even in university chemistry/physics, they only teach the basics, the stuff that was all carved in stone centuries ago by long dead guys. And they do not even have half a day free time to get into current science news.
Well considering that this is just a minor benefit in any teachers salary I would disagree. This is just an indication that the teachers union Chicago cared more about this minor benefit than the teachers union in Boward.
At the end of the year the Chicago teacher, who attended the exact same seminars as the Boward teacher just took home a hundred or two more. And the Boward teacher might make thousands more as a base salary (we do not know), or maybe they have better health insurance.
Or maybe they do make 50% all round, but maybe the cost or living is equally lower.
No, there is no way that this is a good thing for anyone.
If you cannot secure your firearm you should not have one in the first place. Period. If losing your gun is a plausible outcome, then you are doing something very wrong. And if you ever go to actually fire a gun, there absolutely should not be some dinky computer chip in the way, because you are guaranteed to be in a life or death situation. If you wanted to make the US like Canada, and only allow hand guns for collections and range practice, that system would work great. It probably would not accomplish very much, as it would simply make the guns more expensive and breakable, and would be incredibly easy (if illegal) to remove, but it would not get in the way, because we already do not have the right to defend ourselves. But outside of a range type situation, "smart" guns make no sense.
In my experience in general knives, they do not need to be that expensive. Good quality steel is cheap, and the tools to work it in developed countries or the labour to old school smith it in the undeveloped are also both very reasonable (and shipping does not break the bank).
It does not matter the size, if you are paying over 80-90 bucks, most of that is going for the brand. In my experience if you are looking for a good blade, you are looking for a blade that is between 60-90 bucks, a little less if it is really small. And if I were buying kitchen knives I would look for a company with a proven track record in general hunting/utility knives more than anything else. Those reviewers/critics will really test a knife and you can find out how well a company is known for their quality steel workmanship. A company is just not going to lose their steel forging skills when they produce kitchen knives, and the best metal workers will produce a wide range of blades, not just high end kitchen cutlery.
Most of which is probably a good idea. Most of the time you land in jail because of a series of bad judgements, not because you have proven themselves to be irredeemably evil.
99% of young men who commit a life sentence offence should eventually be rehabilitated and let back into society. 15/30 years of a long time, there is no reason to believe that that person is at all the same as the one you locked up.
Because many of the euthanasia methods for pets would not pass the "cruel" clause in "no cruel or unusual punishment", as they have been tested and we know that they are slow and painful.
More than that. A smart watch made of plastic and designed to break down before 2 years time, and be worth approximately 10% of its value in 2 months, will never replace an actual watch.
While you are right that a $30K watch is not primarily a time keeping device, I have never heard of a high end watch that simply did not function that well as a watch. Normally, that added price somewhat does go into buying improved mechanisms and the gold and jewels do not get in the way of viewing the hands.
Yes, they might of came up with different reasons, but the absolute maximum age has been constant for all of recorded history. The ancient Egyptians might not of known about stem cells but they topped out at a few years over 100 just like the rest of us (though I am sure a more of their hundred year olds were eating paste in the end).

"they don't have guns and they don't ride on top of drones"
Giant bags of water are pretty good at smoothly slowing down a car in a pinch.

Because AV's business model is only helped by more computers swimming in viruses.

Well regardless of how much time any teacher spends keeping up with their field, most of that is not going to translate into new curriculum.
Not too many ground breaking developments in grade 10 chemistry in that last few decades.
Well at high school, computer science/coding/typing are all pretty synonymous.
Well any decent IT Security does not have to worry about script kiddies.
In fact, if you are right, their work will be more sought after.

So how many developers does OpenSSL need for maintaining the code base?
Well they seem to do OK. Whenever they show those 5 pixel faces on the TV, they always seem to be able to identify the culprit.
So because freedom of speech and freedom of the press are both "Rights" that means that both need to be heavily regulated?
You can say/print whatever you want, as long as you ask us first and follow any revisions we suggest? Sort of thing?
No, there is no way that this is a good thing for anyone.

Can't tell if troll or serious.

But if the Internet crashing would cause Food/Water/Electricity interruptions (in addition is millions of jobs). Is it not also a need?
If we can say that the internet going down for an hour, in addition to halting the entire economy, would also kill 10,000 people, is it not a need?
Maybe a pimp can wear those things, but a Man must conform to certain social norms to be considered a Man.
More than that.
