Electronic voting machines (at a polling station) don't need to be networked. Just have the machine print out the ballot, and the voter puts that in the box.
An ideal voting system requires you to travel to a secure location (to prevent impersonation), cast your ballot in secret (to prevent coersion or bribery), gets recorded on paper (to prevent computer fraud), gets stored in a secure location, under guard (to prevent vote stuffing), and gets counted in public (to prevent fraud and vote stuffing).
If you can prove who you voted for, then you can be coerced or bribed into voting a certain way. making the anonimous ballot optional makes it worthless.
In a nuclear disaster, proximity means within a couple hundred miles or so. The only difference having the plant in the middle of town makes is you get more safety features.
The problem in Japan was they couldn't think of a way to recharge the batteries powering the backup cooling system, like using long jumper cables from cars.
This Heaven sounds like a horrible place. All Gods laws enforced (no extra-marital sex, no porn, no seductively clad young girls), and the preachy holyer-than-though types run the place.
The virus appears to be good at hiding in non-blood body fluids. That might include spinal fluid, brain fluid, and several internal organs. Maybe this is how HIV survives so well.
Setting up a data centre on the arctic tundra would cut way down on cooling bills, unlike putting it in the desert. Also nobody "wants" to put their data in the USA. Third, if you live or work in a 5 eyes country your data is already in the NSA data hoover system.
The fact that north american customers don't get that choice probably indicates the US government has already ordered them to hand over all data. The fact that an American court has already ordered another company (MS) working in Ireland to hand over data indicates Ireland isn't far enough for security.
TV is a high profit partially exclusive business with little competition, internet is a low profit comodity with lots of competition. Why would anyone choose to abandon all that money?
Persecution of "innocent people" (people who are ignoring you) will often convince those people to try to harm you. Persecution of those who attack you doesn't change anything but the degree they hate you, they are already attacking you and anyone willing to listen to them has already done so.
The H1B program is making the problem worse. The corporations have the choice of training an American or hiring a fully trained foreigner. Once they hire the H1B worker they won't also do the training, and no American is going to spend lots of money in self training for a job that's filled: so no American will ever arrise to take that job. Hiring an H1B worker makes that temporary skill shortage permanent.
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait both have a huge guest worker system. Simple solution: make a minimum wage for H1B workers of 100,000 dollars per year and automatic citizenship after 4 years employment.
You are assuming the goal is to gather evidence for a police investigation. For that purpose your suggestion works. However if you assume the goal is to spy on everyone all the time, then your suggestion won't work.
The purpose of this is sniping. You don't want to fire half a dozen rounds when sniping as that gives away your position. Also you can make the rounds sub sonic, so they don't make that loud crack sound from the sonic boom without reducing accuracy. Note that this will require the shooter to remain sighted on the target until the round hits, in order to guide the bullet to target, as there is no practical way to put long range sensors in a bullet.
Councilor Troy often used a laptop to take notes, it's reasonable to assume scotty made a lot of reports (to explain the crazy stuff he did/got in to).
meaning this should catch on in the third world. When most people never get to see a doctor, let alone have access to a modern hospital, expectations are much lower for reliability and liability.
You aren't rich if you don't have poor people working for you. If the rich elites wipe out the poor it just means the top 1% become the new rich, the bottom 30% become the middle class, and the rest become the new poor.

The phone belonged to the company. She should have left it at work when off duty.
How can you call yourself a nerd and not worship Athena, goddess of knowledge? Brilliant, well educated, and with the body of a greek goddess.
Only because of the design. If you spread the fuel out enough it stops fissioning and then you only have residual heat to deal with.

If congress defunds the CIA, and the CIA keeps going (due to drug money or something) what happens then?
Sanitation and hygene doubled human life expectancy (35 to 70 years). Nothing else we've done comes close.

Religion thrives on ignorance, the best way to eradicate it is to educate everyone on earth.

testing your drinking water and publishing the results shouldn't violate trade secret laws.
