Another one is the idea that we live in a simulation. This is entirely true. The simulation that we live in is run on the hardware of quantum physics instead of silicon engravings, but the process is virtually identical. Of course, this completely violates the description of the term "simulation", but who's to say that we aren't a simulation of someone else's reality run on a higher order platform? You ran straight down to quantum computing forgetting the intricate biological structure which is at an intermediate level which you MUST pass before going down to the quarks and photons. Probably because "we" the physics/"science"/"tech" loving folk have aversion to biology. There's a hell of a lot of physics and chemistry, not to mention math, in biology. Doctors are healers/curers/practitioners. They're not interested as much in quantifying our human supercomputer as much as researchers. One of the most "promising fields of research", I promise, will be the *complete* modeling of our cardiovascular, muscular and motor/sensory nervous system. Placing bets? When we quantify human thought reliably (maybe a century hence), we'll be going down to the above mentioned intermediate level. Of course, human minds still wont be able to grok the full thing, but our super-duper computers probably will. Then, the Matrix will be everywhere:-)
A quick spreadsheet exercise projecting this for 9125 drives (10 years @ 2.5 drives per day) shows the probability of death during the 10 years is 36.6%. Doesn't this sound like it's picked up from a secret diary of a BOFH at Google..?:-)

These things could lose power and restart in less than a second. Not to nitpick, just struck me that power up in "less than a second" may not be enough in certain situations, which is where the memristor could help, according to TFA. Of course, hacks abound and we need not call 2020 The Year Of The Memristor Desktop!:-)
Maybe a Thixotropic object like the viscocity of ketchup? It is an object that changes its resistance to flow over time with repect to the force of the flow that was previously applied. -- Scott Now that brings us to the topic of materials in other fields of life that we observe daily but not closely which would model future inventions in EE/CS - basically we need to do the layman's equivalent of mathematicians' relentless theoretical pursuits - extending analogies across fields of study. That would lead to mostly science-fiction, but some ideas in there would be big, really big. Like if you were watching ketchup really closely in grad school and it struck you that the history force applied directs the speed of the flowing ketchup well into future instants of time, and you sat thinking - hmm, now that can be used in some semiconductor theory or some data structure in comp sci, or some algorithm in math/cs, or maybe explain some heating/convection at ocean-floor fault lines, or in shaping airplane wings... A brute-force analogy system. We could come up with something interesting in a couple of thousand tries - and if not, we publish the crap possibilities as fodder for Open-Sci-Fi stories:-) Sounds too far-fetched, I know, but tha's what everyone calls a math nerd who then goes on to become "immortal in history" by virtue of the same nerdity.

"What's she getting out of this that would make such a difficult life worthwhile?" New face after surgery. New life. New husband. New many things, if she so arranges.
Of course, all that is IF she is alive, which is the whole point.

I'm asking what other parameters would be required to convict him like this, without a decent amount of proof of *murder*? It's real murder, as in *death* of a woman, not one of Hans' MMPORG or violence favs.
Remember that we are talking about private discussions between lawyers and clients. Thats supposed to be highly confidential to start with. Well IANAL, but I see this client-attorney privilege going down in history as the worst thing in this century. Wait, I know its immense value for someone who is being framed and the lawyer can get him out of it. But seriously, think of it the other way round, the present legal system guarantees that 50% of all people working as laywers on cases are putting the client-attorney privilege higher than the constitution, social law, freedom of ordinary citizens, and what not. How does it always end up that the biggest of the crooks often get away due to the client attorney privilege? I mean, when someone as esteemed and powerful as a lawyer in one of the higher courts of law is trying his best to defend a horrible criminal, one can only wonder how much damage is being done... This and the fallacy that we call politicans "democratically elected **representatives** of people". These two are going to be the things kids in future civilizations will look up to parents and ask - "They used to do that, mommy?" "and nobody said anything against them?" That's gonna be as easy to answer as Copernicus was persecuted for going against the church.
if he gets a lifelong sentence and if he is so good at writing programs, and if he shows good behavior for a long time, in other *more* *democratic* countries, he'd be very well entitled to a better environment in prison.
