If you think the poor will give up when faced with impossible odds you don't know human nature. When the law becomes unbearable they run and hide, or ignore the law. When people run and hide they take their money with them and this hurts the big men. Ignoring the law is does about the same. There is an optimum amount of jackboot thuggery before you get into the downslope of the bell curve, and I think we're on it now.
Put the router in a grounded metal box with the side facing the stage open. Ensure the people on stage have line of sight while the audience doesn't. This will block the RF from the audience and give you exclusive use.
Step 1- all patents are considered invalid until proven in court. If the USPTO can't be bothered to validate patents then let the courts handle the matter.
Step 2- To get a software patent you must file (complete) source, including build environment. Having the full source for windows would level the playing field, and allow people to support old embedded applications.
Step 3- All pending patents and submitted patents are on public display from the moment they are filed.
Step 4- Massively reduced damages if you didn't actually -USE- the patent. Should cut down on trolls.
It's very common for Muslims to talk about how the middle ages were the golden age of their religion/culture/country. I guess when you blindly attempt to emulate/copy a middle ages culture you tend to copy everything including the lack of technology/education/progress.
You're missing the point. The creationists are trying to destroy the American education system and therefore make the USA a backwards and powerless country. A small number of your countrymen are actively trying to (indirectly) hurt your kids, and you don't care. Bad things happen because good people close their eyes and look away.
If the US gov is pushing Intellectual Property hoping to save the economy then they are wrong. IP is a luxury item, a fair weather industry. In bad times it's the first thing you cut from your budget. You must base your economy on things that are stable and don't get cut or every economic downturn will wreck your economy.
The biggest issue with nasa is what could have been done with that money. Unmanned landers for every planet, space telescopes to watch for objects heading for earth, alternative power so we can stop sending money to middle east terrorists, a fast and convenient national transit system to eliminate the car, a cure for cancer- there are lots of things that could have been done. The USA has been the worlds police for decades, i suggest ending that. Your gov/country might get more credit for what it does, and/or you'd find the world more cooperative when you do. And you'd save Trillions in the meantime. Of course that won't happen as the reason you're spending so much time/effort/money on policing the world is so you can force the world to play by your rules (to your financial/political benefit).
Isn't an anonymous social network just what we've been calling for? If we can overcome the privacy issues and still have it useful then this could be great. I don't see how google can kick anonymous off their network.
Our banks didn't fail, didn't need trillion dollar bailouts. Our debt/deficits are manageable. We're heading in the wrong direction but we're not where USA is (yet).
Is monitoring the communications of a doctor a violation of doctor patient confidentiality rules? What about the clergy? If it is then becoming a priest of FSM should be a simple way to ensure no logging.
Given that the creative element (required for copyright) was performed by the monkey then logically the owner of the camera has no claim to copyright. Given that monkeys aren't people and can't own copyright and that you can't copyright naturally occurring stuff (you can't copyright the forest, just your photo of them) it means the monkey photo isn't copyrightable. The techdirt use was clearly fair use.
I believe there is a section of the US constitution that prohibits punishing people without a trial. I realize that's a depreciated api but it's still worth noting that prior versions of us gov allowed such functions.
An updated saturn 5 could have built the ISS cheaper, faster, safer. Manned space flight is a waste of resources that should be spent on exploration and science.
A three mile long railgun isn't re-targetable. You can't just swing it over to hit somewhere else, it's fixed. It's also easy to target and hard to guard.
This sounds perfect for making biological weapons. This process has one major weakness: Natural selection means adding random mutations, meaning there will probably be more than just the desired changes. So long as the corp doesn't see those mutations as harmful (tobacco is safe!) they will go ahead and sell it.
There are a few problems with this: 1-you need to know where the cancer is (so why not remove it?) so it can't be used on spreading multi organ cancers 2-you need to stick a needle into it (this isn't safe for some parts of the body) 3-it won't always get all the cancer, just the parts you can reach so this will probably leave cancerous cells in the body afterwards that will settle into some other organ to grow.
The harder you squeeze your fist, the more (computer) systems will slip from your grasp. Given that we the people have greater total resources than you the gov, it is easy to see how totalitarian/dictatorships/communism/terrorists will always lose in the end. It's called evolution for you hardcore christians.

If you block your plate in any way they can arrest you. What if you cover your car with fake plates? What if the fakes are only visible to cameras?
They already have all of that. They also have road sensors to read the rfid tags in your tires so they already know where/when you travel.

What does the space shuttle have to do with exploration? Those probes were launched from disposable launchers.

When the US defaults, the currency collapses to peso levels, and unemployment reaches 70% I expect there won't be very much white collar anything.

Socialism: giving taxpayer money to the poor. Capitalism: giving taxpayer money to the rich.
Hydrogen is a battery not a power source. You can't drill for hydrogen. If you compare batteries you will see that hydrogen is a poor choice.
Robots are only good for science. Manned spaceflight is good for pork barrel politics. If congress can't count the pork then it doesn't count.

In the tax system complexity is there for the benefit of the rich. I expect a complex voting scheme is therefore to benefit the rich.
