Steam in Off-line mode helps a bit with this (still only 1 on-line game at a time), but it's not all that different from console games that often tie themselves to an on-line account once activated.
Firstly, not everyone that has a great idea has the resources to build a working prototype, this could be a huge hit to "the little guy".
Second; so what if it ends up being unfeasible then the patent simply has no value, so long as it isn't so broad that it stops an actual working innovation. There should be no rule against having a patent on a useless devise, because no one is going to want to build it anyway (though it is a waste of time for the patent office).
I think this explains the whole issue, percentage is not not an additive operator so it should never be combined with "more" or "less". It's a multiplying operator so it should only be used with the words like "of" or "as much". As in "my car has 200% the efficiency of yours, I can go 2 times the distance with the same fuel." or "This sandwich cost 50% as much as what Bob paid"
This system doesn't have a propeller(screw) for propulsion, it is actually more of a swimming motion as its fins(tethered a few meters down) angle up or down as the wave action moves it up and down in the water. This is how it uses basically no power to move about.
I wouldn't be worried about how much oil is left, about one Exxon Valdez worth of hydrocarbons seeps up naturally every year. That's why these bacteria were there in the first place.
IANABiologist, but I figure most of the bacteria will be eaten (shrimp bloom?) or die and sink to the bottom and eventually turn back into oil. As far waste products it's just a bunch of CO2.
They actually have much better station keeping than this. The submerged part is not a sea anchor so much as horizontal sail that as it goes up and down pulls the float along, it uses this motion to drive in little circles around its station. They can only move about a knot and a half but have such a low profile as to be unaffected by the wind.
I know this because I am sitting next to one in our lab.
Bleach is basic, and mixing it with ammonia will give you chlorine gas, not the classic exothermic water-producing acid/base reaction.
Sorry couldn't let that one slide
The O2 concentration could be very high and you would still suffocate if could not expunge the CO2 from your system. In fact high CO2 is what causes the suffocating feeling, not lack of oxygen.
oh, and it was around 300 ppm about a hundred years ago, that's what's scary to me.

This brings up another European idea that I wish we'd see over here, they put volume labels on the glassware in restaurants.
Would the more generalized case of Green's Law be Stoke's Law?

Which is $5/mo more than it costs them to provide the service.
Haha, my PIN isn't on this list. On that note, is there a limit to the number of digits in a PIN?

I know it's a typo but I still laughed at the idea

The originals where roll to unlock an even needed a key....off to patent office brb.
hmmm, so Apple has round corners and MS is all sharp corners now, looks like I should get a design patent on bevels.
Roll a D12 modulo 3 add one, no killing necessary.
so it's an HDMI and a USB smooshed together?
I wonder if the doodle will be programmable, or even make it Turing complete for full nerd-gasm.

I miss-read the title, thought it was something about Horowitz and Hill being relevant well into the future
Looking at the sketches on the site it doesn't seem to have any horizontal articulation of the legs. So does it just crab walk everywhere?

In my opinion you don't sound like a very good scientist.
I've always liked Ken Blackburn's that set the world record, it's easy to make and the wing actually makes a nice airfoil.
computer engineers are shitty programmers? (not that it's any more use than CS for IT work)
How could they ignore him, just think of all the personal appeals he'll be making.
Unless of course my John Corzine does what?
