If someone isn't willing to miss out on something because it conflicts with their principles then they don't have any principles to begin with. I may not agree with GP's boycott of Paypal but I admire their resolve.
Deep sea divers don't get crushed like a grape. They do get nitrogen in their bloodstream if they breathe regular air and the bends if they decompress too quickly. So we "only" have to create a helium/oxygen atmosphere and good decompression facilities in the spaceports and life on Venus can be a reality. Everyone there will talk like ducks, but that's a small price to pay for interplanetary colonization!
But what if the bacteria act locally on every single stalk of grain produced? The thing about nitrogen fixing bacteria in the wild is that they don't accompany every single plant in a field.
I think that there is a good chance that this will be an improvement over chemical fertilizers and welcome more resarch in this area, but don't automatically assume that it's safe just because it's natural.
I bet that when you do get paid it's far more than minimum wage, which is compensation for your terrible inconvenience. Besides, your lack of sympathy for people with worse jobs than you makes you a selfish dick.
It's only English speaking Western governments. Is there some sort of Anglo-Saxon paranoia at work or are these countries by way of a common language simply the closest satellite states of the US?
20-30 years seems to be a good rule of thumb. So if you want to know what the promising technologies of the next decade will be you should look at what has been done in the lab in the late '80s early '90s. (FDM 3D printing seems to be right on the mark, and if the Oculus Rift thing pans out VR will be too. Looking at stuff from the late '90s, electric cars will have to wait another decade to get mass adoption. LED lighting is ahead of schedule. Decent adoption rates a mere 20 years after the first superbright blue LED was demonstrated by Shuji Nakamura).
Before you know it one of these things will flip out and we have to send Tom Selleck to try and catch it. The man is 68! He can't go running after robots anymore.
GP means not generalizing based on media stereotypes, not talking shit about people behind their backs like you're commenting on a Youtube video and not judging peoples character by irrelevant details like the amount of money in their bank accounts.
Nature doesn't care whether you live or die, so it is free to modify plants and animals at random even if a mutation breeds an organism that ends up killing off half the species on the planet. Humans are responsible for any harm that they end up causing their fellow creatures so it's right that we hold them to a higher standard.
So is that a little tin with a piece of sandpaper, a tube of rubber cement and some patching material? Do they hold the suit in a tub of soapy water to find the leaks? Must be messy in microgravity.
There is a big difference. Almost nobody knows how to make a gun. Put all the professional gunsmiths and all the amateur gun-makers that you mention together and they make a tiny fraction of 1% of the population.
Suddenly those "we are the 99%" protests are getting scary.
An online paper with a set of sliders. That way I can choose to receive 70% hard news articles 20% book reviews and 10% human interest. On the human interest I can dial 0% celebrity gossip, 60% cat pictures and 40% heart warming stories of strangers helping old ladies.
Someone else can dial 70% showbiz, 20% financial and 10% international news.
OK so I may have made up these percentages and categories, but I think a tailor made paper like that could be successful.

So what do they taste like?

Anonymous Cowards proclaiming their freedom to swear and not even daring to spell out "fuck" properly. Cunts.
I get paid for not reading TFA? In that case I have 13 years of wages to collect! Who do I see about that?
Suspend operations in Thailand. At least that's what I gather from other news outlets.
Actually it mostly is quantum mechanics.
When the atmosphere is so dense a nitrogen oxygen mix is VERY pleasant but not for long.

Robot has a hobby

What if it's our species that we end up killing off?

The engineers are mere henchmen for the Brin. All hail the Brin and his manly spy glasses!

I'm more shocked at the photo accompanying that article. You guys have cardboard ballot boxes? Not sturdy metal ones with a lock on them?

Yeah who cares about China? They have no exports and not many people live there anyway.
Now that post is straying dangerously close to the concept of morphic resonance.
