Because they can!
My son wears hearing aids and I got him the best available. Insurance on the aids isn't too expensive and they pay off on loss or damage for a small yearly fee. I'm also hard of hearing in my right ear and because of vanity got one of the small in the ear models. I was stuck with it because like ear buds they loosen and whistle and fall out.
That was then, this is now (in the 60s we had four function calculators that weighed pounds and cost $100s).
Cousteau, the inventor of the first commercially successful Aqua Lung did it in '43. "Sea Hunt came on in '58 when I was 11 and I watched it religiously and was fascinated by the undersea world. One assignment in grade school was to write a business letter ordering something. I was about 7 or 8 and ordered a Porpoise Model CA single hose scuba tank, regulator, fins, weights, dive knife etc. The poor addled nun gave it back to me saying there's no such thing.
Now, going to Cozumel, or any of the popular dive sites is something that any one can do, and you don't even have to buy equipment, you can just rent. Would I live in an under water domain? Sure. I'm retired now and could see myself living there at least part time.

That should go very well for you. I can see your empty wallet from here when the supposed owner hears that you want to give him unexpected cash

"empoverished (sic) Socialist third-world hellholes like Germany, or Israel or Sweden, a person staying with the same employer for a lifetime is not uncommon."
"I'm going to Sweden soon, 'gonna be a dental floss tycoon.
"Li insisted the government needs to censor Internet content to protect the rights of the country and its people."
How is not knowing something protecting the rights of the people.
"Li said the government opposes hacking."
Yadda yadda
"Beijing has rejected suggestions by Western security experts that China's military or government agencies might have been involved in the hacking."
More yadda yadda. "We're not doing anything, Nothing to see here. Move along.
"Google wants to keep a Beijing development center, advertising sales offices and a fledgling mobile phone business, according to a person familiar with the company's thinking.
So do you think Google will stay in China because they're money whores? Who's going to hurt more? It seems Google will still have most of the world on its site even without China and they'll sell them Android phone anyway.
I wrote a grade school sweet heart. I'm of Polish descent and so is she, so I decided to write the letter in Polish. I can speak Polish if the occasion demands but this occasion demanded more than I have knowledge of.
She wrote m back and commended me on keeping up with the language. Since I used Google Translate, I guess they do a decent job of it.
Any musician when either playing or creating music does it with a certain style. If a computer program can discern this style and compose something new in that style or show what would happen if Jimi covered Lady Gaga, how is that different than when Eric Clapton or Jimmy Page ripped licks off the old blues men and added them to their own music?
I like blues, and have listened to it for a long time. At first I was surprised to hear all the songs and styles that were stolen by modern musicians. However this is how it works. Most artistic works are derivative of what has come before, whether through human or computer.
"There are far bigger problems to fix than computer games, in fact the popularity of violent computer games in a society is a valid measure of the violence in that society. As a society heals and creates a more humane and supportive environment so the popularity of violent games will drop.
Only problem is every one looks to the easy fix. I'm sure FOX trumpeted the findings on this and they are part of the problem. They and every one else aren't going to admit that of course, they need something to point a finger at
"Incidentally, I'm sure I can conclusively prove that aggressive, less caring kids are attracted to violent video games by their study, and therefore there is no conclusive evidence that violent video games cause kids to be aggressive and less caring."
I am a member of the Make.com community (I subscribe to the magazine, try some of the projects, etc.) and she's come up with more original stuff than you have ever thought of in your poor, sad lifetime. I tink she's smart, and kind of cute and think that intelligence in a woman scares you.
I, (sniff, tear) used to subscribe to Sinclair User. I bought an early Sinclair in a cigar/candy store (WTF?) I would stay up all hours of the night typing programs on those little damned chiclet rubber keys, save the program to a cassette and go nuts wen I discovered that I had mistyped a number or 2. It was my first exposure to computers and programing.
There are newer types of reactors than the old "breeder reactors" which we used because the end product was plutonium used in weapons production.
Ge II and Gen III are in use now in much of the world, and although Gen IV reactors are in the offing, they may be a bit far off.
If they have any intelligence at all, the 3rd movie should stay close to being a sequel to the 1st rather than the 2nd movie. I've never played the game, but I assume that it is more like this (if I'm wrong let me know).
. If this were the case, I'd see it, maybe twice. The 2nd movie was OK but I couldn't abide the silly names (Crematoria?), then the whole plot in the 2nd half of the movie (Necromongers?) The plot device of the Lord Marshall getting a "prophecy" that a Furian would kill him? This is just silly.
As many pointed out "Pitch Black" = decent science fiction, "Chronicles" not so much

Could it be that they want answers from the politicians precisely because they don't know what's going on?
And Esquire (a scientific source of great repute) says differently.

I don't want any government telling me what I can and can't do. That power I reserve for myself.

Thorium reactors (discussed on /. here http://science.slashdot.org/story/10/01/02/1330245/Thorium-the-Next-Nuclear-Fuel ) are also a distinct possibility.
the ONLY drawback to nuclear energy being widely used is the luddite NIMBY mentality. where Reactor = Bad
