Or some subgroup of the US government actually discreetly made those bonds, in a hush-hush but valid manner, traded them for a shitton of various valuables to some foreign instance. But their ridiculous face value and general invisibility means they can easily claim they are forgeries.
But of course no government would ever do that now would they? Because being government they are per definition on moral highground and would never do something malicious or fraudulent to further the agenda of their own person or special little circle of friends. Sortof how nazi germany totally didn't end up cooking a few million jews due to some whim of their leadership.
Oh wait...
Imagine what certain well wishing government organs can do with predictive data mining if some commercial waste handling system like target can have any luck with it.
There do seem to be some rather serious plot line inflation in a song of ice and fire as of late. At least a few lines have had the good grace of terminating(in a rather fruitless manner) in the latest book, but there's still a good number left to go around(not to mention the characters that weren't even mentioned in the last book!) Now obviously the realism card would be that a "random patrol returns with the head of x y and z" in a fairly realistic manner, it would however be rather unsatisfactory storytelling.
It sounds potentially dangerous, depending on the intensity that leaks through. Consider that the retina is a part of the brain, what you're doing is exposing your brain to UV light, and while not directly ionizing it's enough to disrupt or initiate chemical reactions that doesn't belong there.
I hope someone ambushes the convoy and destroys their servers. The backlash from "lol sorry your DRM games are broken forever" would be the most hilarious ever in the history of DRM.
I suggest a conditional tax. 1% of total politician networth every time they say something stupid. The deficit would turn to a surplus in a week, especially now during campaign season.
"Buildatron is the new definition of made in America manufacturing. "
Making cash from someone elses product,call it your own by slapping a catchy logo onto it. Good going America, you're doing it the chinese way, only a shitton more expensive.
Amusingly, the Buildatron in the opening article IS THE FUCKING REPRAP!
They took an opensource project, added some shoe polish to some parts, then put a huge metal box around it and cut their name into the box.(also, price markup).
A white PCB where the conductive tracks make up the words of the invitation would be pretty much sufficient as a declaration of geekyness, as soon as you add electronics the cost and hassle will duplicate while not necessarily adding value. If you still insits, put a few tiny surface mount leds on it.
It says it doesn't need a warrant, someone go request the web histories of everyone that supported that bill. Say you suspect them of running a copyright/freedom hating operation.
Check in by having a high-res with flash picture of your face taken. Then ensure that every corner is covered by cameras to allow seamless tracking of individuals. Each shelf also ought to have enough camera coverage to identify books either by position or appearance.
That way you could even track books that are removed and replaced in the wrong position.
All you need is a lesser supercomputer and someone selling decent framerate high-res IP cams in bulk.
Laptops, cameras, tablets, smartphones, electric bikes and everything robotic weighing less than a car sure is a tiny market and doesn't benefit at all from more batteries availible...
Oh wait...
I wouldn't call myself a luddite but converting to smartphones weren't all the sucess and hype that some made it out to be. It's may do a lot of things with technically good performance but it's not the smooth versatile multitasking of a computer, everything is single-tracked. It doesn't produce beatuiful pictures, just technically good. Changing music is somewhat sluggish. Productive work is not possible. Games are simple at best and calling and text is well, calling and text.
The overall experience was pretty much meh.
The wires probably break under shock most commonly, as such they'd be rather dense to not test various abnormal G scenarios, most likely transient high-G scenarios, in microgravity the surface tension is likely to keep things in order.

Stupid people have a monopoly on government, have been that way longer than any windows monopoly.
there's no such thing as real american money. it can be graded by quality of craftmanship but all of it is inherently counterfeit and worthless.

It should be called RETARD - Redundant Expensive Terrible Alternative Rocked Device

Or it could be unregulated gene manipulation, this being china and all.
Which would totally fucking awsome.

Through a bug it will track their physical location, everything they say, and what websites they visit. And their parents while at it.
Germany tried a lot of things around 1940 that the copyright industry somehow things would work better today.

My sattelite is a crate full of explosively dispersed pinballs, will it cost only $300 to launch it?
take my plastic replica with a 5$ microcontroller that pretends it's an iphone
Unforunately she'll be mummified and buried in ice so her last name is inappropriate.

It's the fastest GPU in the known universe! surely it have to be worth something!
