From the article: Those "Thieves" just copied our work, reworded stuff so it's not a direct copy, and now give it away! The question is how much do you have to re-word factual content in order to not be copyright infringement. There is a limit to how far they can differ and still cover the same (factual) material.
1- get 10,000 people together.
2- they agree to vote as a block.
3- tell congress critter pass this law and you get the votes.
money isn't the only way to win, you can get the same results with voting blocks.
A modern radio consists of a radio frequency amplifier, a frequency converter to an intermediate frequency, and a converter to audio or data. The third part comes in many different and incompatible forms (am, fm, pm...). A software defined radio uses a computer (software) for the third part and therefore can be reprogrammed to handle all the different varieties without hardware changes.
Swap stations work fine if you don't own the battery. Sell the car, rent the battery. Or better yet put induction coils or contacts in the road and charge your little electric commuter while you drive.
1- Detroit builds a van by taking a car and stretching it. The resultant vehicle is overloaded on all the key parts, and therefore has a fraction of the lifespan of the original car. 2-vans get rented less, so you charge more to cover costs. 3-vans are considered luxury so you can charge more. 4- fewer rental places carry vans so less competition means you can charge more.
If you're going to have part of the car detach you may as well take the back seat at the same time and save more weight. You drive your 2 seat electric to/from work all week, then swap in your station wagon back end with gas motor for the weekend cruise through the mountains.
Showing your face is required for identification. If you wear a mask you can commit crimes and not be identified by all the big brother cameras. Forcing a woman to show their breasts is only useful for identification if she has tattoos or surgery scars.
ITER isn't meant to solve our energy problems. If it was they'd use an available fuel like helium 2 or hydrogen. It's all smoke and mirrors to keep the scientists quiet while the oil industry keeps making a profit.
1-You can't use frozen human brains for this, the ice destroys the interconnections and distorts the picture enough you'd get little/nothing usable.
2-The human brain has a finite memory capacity. If you want to know everything you'll need a huge redesign.
3-Mental instability is statistically associated to very high intelligence. It's likely your super mind would be insane.
4-Interstellar radiation is a killer, especially for computers. Several thousand years of that and you might die from the brain damage. Doing it again and again, certainly would kill you. Hiding underground in your home system sounds really smart.
Traveling between stars requires a lot of speed. The best (known) way is gravitational slingshot maneuvers around a large object. And stopping at the other end requires the same. So you Can't stop at some rock, you literally don't have the fuel to manage it.
You need a full gimball suit with force feedback at your end, with a full humanoid robot at the other. Then you'd really be at the party, not just video-conferencing. Of course it's just a matter of time till criminals get into the act. You can have your Obama avatar robbing banks (instead of the taxpayer).

Given wifi/bluetooth and insecure car networks, the "modding" possibilities of that annoying car that just cut you off are tremendous.
Not if you've studied Boolean algebra.
Offering music for download (without showing downloads) has been used as grounds for copyright infringement lawsuits.

England has a law about divulging passwords. I wonder if it applies to phones.
What's the point of having a secret law requiring a backdoor for police if the handset makers won't follow it?

Hosting all that data costs money. From a law enforcement point of view it's probably worthless after 5 years anyway.

What about stock brokers?
You forgot amplifier latency and modem latency. Also packet acknowledgment.
Given that north american cellphone rates are based on the stratosphere that's not a bad idea.
You get the added benefit of not routing your economy through the NSA.

In a rich man's world the law is made to protect the rich. The bigger issue is all the music files. That phone could be worth $68,246,789!
Patent applications should require you to submit a working prototype. Good luck with the business method patents.
Will we get a price break for this? From the example of cable tv I'd say no.

How about the prime directive? Your swarm ships would kill everything in their path.
