So if an opposition politician puts in complaints about official websites then he gets to rewrite them? Or would it be limited to the websites of political parties as a means of political chaos? I think they just invented a new national sport.
They (the US) spent HALF the second world war fighting the Nazis, the other half selling them computers to help round up the jews. The gov of the US has a long history of helping bad men rule innocent people with an iron fist. The only thing new here is that they're doing it to YOU.
And the babbage differential engine means the "with a computer" part is possible. Radio experimenters have been using "programmable" devices to control radios since before the second world war.
Refugees. The average income in north Africa is around $1/day, in southern Europe it's around $100/day. As you can imagine there is a huge demand to move to the money. Southern Europe can't afford to take 5,000,000 migrants per year, they would collapse. Being a member of NATO requires a team player, meaning the USA must support its European allies- meaning payoffs to Qaddafi to stop the migrants.
Software costs make up such a tiny portion of the cost that the consumer won't see the price increase. Making software an "Engineering" job will push up wages and limit off-shoring due to liability hazards (if they can't find that fly-by-night developer then the CEO and friends are held liable & It's much harder to sue a third world company than one in your own country). I predict this whole liability thing will be good for business.
The reason California has the highest electricity costs in the western world is because they privatized the whole system but without any protection to protect the consumer from price fixing or profit maximization. Corporations like to gouge you, it's what they were designed for- to maximize profit. If the electric company anticipates demand and maintains the infrastructure you get safe reliable cheap power. If they don't you get costly unreliable dangerous power. The first costs more and brings in less (low profit), the second costs less and brings in more(high profit)- clearly the intelligent CEO will opt for the second plan.
I'd go with bytecode on the install disk and a pre-compiler that spits out native code optimized for the hardware. It would run on anything, and on every version of your os as well (though you might need to re-install when you upgrade the OS).
It's been a long time since the gov of USA followed that worthless piece of paper. (The value of your laws comes from the people forcing the gov/big buisness/rich people to follow them and the American people can't be bothered).
In a world where everyone is (equally) rich, libertarian works just fine. It's only where you have people rich enough to crush the poor that it doesn't work.
Wiring to connect silicon wafers to the chip leads, radiation shielding on spacecraft, super thin metal foil, gold plating on cards/pins, super low resistance wire.
Allowing out of state companies to compete against local ones without paying any taxes gives them an unfair advantage- meaning the local companies go broke. That means fewer local jobs and lower local tax revenue to help the unemployed. Allowing amazon to do business without paying taxes is like letting china sell cars in the USA tax/tarif/quota free. If you care about your quality of life you won't allow this.
Charge tax at the point the customer takes possession of the merchandise. UPS delivers your box of goodies to california you pay tax to california. The online retailer collects the tax to the shipping point the goods are sent to (if you want a mailbox out of state that's fair, you pay the gas).
With IP6 we could permanently assign a static IP address range to every networked device (as is done with mac address), then dole out the addresses in that range one per user account. When you used the internet you would be uniquely identified (machine and user account). It wouldn't prevent people sharing accounts on a computer but it's close enough to get you a lawsuit.
Advantages: speed- Total execution time is based on distance the signal must travel- vertical stacking shortens distance. space- having half your motherboard used up for ram limits what you can do. If you ever want to see TB usb sticks you need this. Board space in a cellphone is very limited, with this you can multiply the number of chips on the board by 10/20/30 depending on how thin the slices are. cooling: you can etch channels on the backside before you glue to run cooling oil through.
It means that government contracts won't be awarded to cheaper hardware based on arm processors because that's not windows compatible. The change in policy means all government contracts must use windows compatible hardware instead of cheaper stuff that only runs open source. And as long as the hardware supports it microsoft has the option to bribe/leverage their software onto the hardware.
Having com/org/net/xxx just confuses people. The TLD should be by country, with that country having complete control over it. If Iran wants to censor stuff they can but only for their own domain- and at the national firewalls going into the country. Same for the USA, same for Britain... Get rid of all these silly TLD's and just have national ones.
They are hot- while running the engine. If you're dug in for a defensive position you can turn off the engine. Or you can have this on the front of your tank while the back that they can't see gets nice and hot. As for cooling, modern tanks have air conditioning- provided you have somewhere to dump the heat. I suppose you could put the heat into a container of molten salts, while you sneak up on the enemy with your hybrid tank in electric mode.
Stopping extinctions isn't about being nice, it's about keeping the world livable. Nature doesn't die out it just adapts to the environment. If regular animals can't survive they will mutate/evolve into monsters that can, or develop intelligence so they can build weapons and take back the wilderness by force.

It would be interesting to snoop in on that device in operation, see what it does/get the codes. Could allow you to fully unlock your hardware.

The Canadian government can override those rights with the notwithstanding clause, where the US gov just ignores the constitution. (same result)

If you design a vault door for a bank that can be opened with a hairpin then it's your fault.

By law I have fair use rights, DRM takes those away without my consent. I want compensation.
if you buy (online) from stuff.us then us laws apply, from stuff.uk then uk laws apply. Sounds simple to me.

Nothing like building space craft. And the USA has plenty of launch options for stuff that doesn't come back in one piece.
T cells focus on a single invader DNA, there are many different cancer DNA- Meaning no, this won't give full immunity.
