[...] or for a diesel shut a fuel solenoid so the engine WILL die.
For some diesels, the emergency kill switch operates a solenoid that retracts a stud allowing a spring loaded hinged metal plate to shut off the air. For car engines, Chalwyn makes some cable operated shutdowns of this sort. They also make auto and manual reset solenoid operated shutdowns, but if you're concerned with having electrical control issues, you might consider a cable to be more reliable. "None sing hymns to the air;..."
The product isn't a big deal. It's just another firearm feature. Lots of people who buy guns won't buy it. Lots of people who buy guns only buy revolvers because they consider semi-auto's not to be sufficiently trustworthy. That's fine. Another product in the market is all it is. Death threats by idiots are fairly common also. I imagine any politician in favor of abortion or gay marriage has received a few. If I remember the psychological rules for adult kindergarteners correctly, it's best not for feed them any attention. The only place where I can imagine this sort of firearm successfully being required is for the specific use-case of concealed carry pistols, and then only after the technology has been shown to be sufficiently reliable so that law enforcement is happily using it also. Of course, there will still be objections. Law enforcement frequently favors semi-automatic pistols, and lots of people still only buy revolvers.
When I took my driving test in WV (in 1986), it consisted of six questions on a laminated page, with traces of previous marker visible around all the correct answers (and fainter traces visible around a couple of popular incorrect ones). There was also a driving test, which entailed the safe circumnavigation of one block at 15 mph. In almost all of the US, neither license nor vehicle safety features are necessary to operate your own automobile on your own property. In all of the US, a background check, and a license is required to have a firearm in your possession when you're not on your own property, and in many parts of the US, training and a proficiency test are also required.
Probably, because they're not very interested in meeting you at all. There's several large parts of the country, and especially large urban parts of the country, that have strong restrictions on people carrying privately owned firearms in public places. If you live in such a place, it should be very easy for you to avoid being in the presence of legal privately owned firearms. If you do live in such a place, why try and impose rules for the benefit of your personal local feeling of comfort on people who live somewhere else?
but I don't realize that the transaction is "I'll buy 6 of your kidnapping victims for my snuff film," then my public key that allows them to rate me as a fine arbiter for the transaction also links me right in as an accessory to murder.
I think the top brackets of wage earners face an undue burden imposed by the tax lawyer industry. I favor a flat tax (on both wages and capital gains) for the top 2.5% of income recipients at the same percentage rate as for those in the bracket just under that of the top 2.5%. The benefits of filing EZ really ought to be extended upwards.
People will say that without tax incentives, why would the "job creators" invest? But, the fact is, that everyone invests for the same reason, because it will turn a profit. If the investment won't be profitable, then easy borrowing and low taxes don't help create it. No one will invest if it's just throwing away money. If the investment is a net gain, then taxation doesn't prevent it. You still want more, and so will invest in a profitable venture to get more even if you're taxed at a higher rate.
Probably, if such a tax were imposed, personal corporations would be formed by those who haven't done so already.
I hope that's changed in WA and CO (and, really, states that permit medical marijuana). Probable cause to test the driver for DUI I could see, but cause for a search ought no longer to apply. "My friend smoked in my car while hiding from - the rain, his ex-wife, etc.," ought to be a legitimate, reasonable explanation for the smell.

I own a motion computing tablet. Their current model meets the same 810G standard, appears to have the same features available and costs about half.
Working mostly in a marine environment, I instinctively shy away from stainless with aluminum in favor of brass or bronze. It's probably not so bad in locations that don't see road salt, though.
If you have a good new idea for a product people could build for themselves, perhaps there's an alternate route to getting some money for it.
Build a prototype.
Advertise it's virtues.
Have a Kickstarter for releasing the details of your design to the world under Creative Commons.
You don't get regulated as your investors are clearly speculating, and you don't produce an actual product, just the design of your prototype. They don't get regulated because they're building a one-off for their own use. Of course, it wouldn't work for cars or some kinds of planes, but it might work ok for lots of other things.
I've had a lot of experience on steel boats with higher voltages (unintentionally) grounding through the "chassis," and in this circumstance, electrolysis is a real issue. It always finds the worst parts to damage. I'd rather avoid that. I suppose, one should also consider data over the power lines like NMEA 2000 does. I'd probably trust it more if the power lines were coaxial, but I still feel even better about optical for the data. Omega says their E32 series cables are good at being vibration and temperature resistant - and with German luxury car style prices.
In my experience, higher voltage cuts down on the number of dirty connector related intermittencies also. It's got my vote.
If vehicle manufacturers used a cable with a fiber optic whisker for data and two little high voltage wires for power, they could use the same daisy chained cable with the same connector at every location for just about everything - probably a larger sized power cable for servo motors than for sensors. From the repair person's end, they're going to mostly be disconnecting parts, swapping them out, connecting the car's computer with the home office (assuming the home office doesn't successfully try to be connected all the time anyways) and letting it do the rest. The extra complication might not filter down.
I don't expect different from them, but I still want them to hear from me an attitude that encourages them to evolve.
Thanks very much for the Mercedes information you have online. My brother just bought a 1983 300TD and a 1985 300TD, and I have passed him a link to your words.
Out of curiosity, what do you think of Audi's recent decision to save weight by switching from copper to aluminum wiring? Every instinct I have tells me not to trust it.
One of the biggest expenses I hear about when someone is building a new nuclear reactor is the zillion lawsuits that spring up. I imagine a fair amount of these could be avoided if the physical structure was built in a different country from the one adding the fissile material. Or, even in the same country, people would be less likely to try to stop construction because if it's a good reactor and people stopped you from using it, you could probably sell it to someone else who is willing to use it. I imagine whoever works the kinks out of the reliable floating reactor construction process could have a nice ongoing construction business.
There's a whole spectrum of prices in table saws. Do a search for Delta Unisaw, and you'll see what I mean. It might be worth making a determination of the value of the the Saw Stop saw apart from the stopping technology before picking another table saw for comparison. The reviews I've read suggest they're rather well made. Personally, I'd rather have a panel saw (where the blade faces away from me) than a table saw, but those are even more expensive.

Perhaps Michael Daniel's office would care to contribute. It might benefit their ability to project power abroad.

This may give some context to the tone of what you saw. I don't recall having seen any references to biting the heads off of live chickens.

That's good to know. I imagine one has to get used to a different set of torque values for fastening to aluminum as well.

I'll plan to wait for them to learn the hard way and switch back.

What if there's locals there now? Once we learn to communicate with them, we could sell a Starbucks franchise long before anyone arrived in person.
Mercedes may pooh-pooh that market, but I know of another German automobile manufacturer who seems interested enough.

Saw Stop is a brand of table saw. Unfortunately, it's not really a modification you can apply to a saw you already own.
