The word is inconceivable, and I won't be quoting The Princess Bride here, but it was so very conceivable, that a simple writer for TV could come up with it. He turned the idea into the pilot of the X-Files spin-off The Lone Gunmen that aired early 2001.
Now my idea of a high tech nomad *cough*hipster bum*cough* might be somewhat stereotypical but a macbook pro and an ipad will account for 80% of that $4000.
It works, somewhat, for telecoms. It has been a waste of time and money for energy providers and a disaster for the railways. So much so that even our most privatisation-happy party is calling for renewed nationalisation of the rail infrastructure to repair the mess that separation of infrastructure and services has created.
3D printers tend to do badly at mass production, altough I could see a rig with a grid of 5x5 heads turning out 25 copies of a part at a time. (I know, everything would be heavier and would have to move slower, but a man can dream)
Pauling won not one but two Nobel prizes and went quite kooky in his old age, he also reached his 90s with a cancer that should have killed him when he was in his 60s. He may have been lucky or he may have been on to something.
All good reasons not to be allowed near a machine that has access to email, IM or Facebook. (With Twitter users you can't really tell the difference between drunk and sober anyway.)
When your stock options have lost half their value by the time you get them, are you going to jump up and down complaining that you're not getting the money you were promised?
Hey, it's a stealth ship. Tell the government that you've dismantled it, then sail it away right in front of the coast guard. They won't suspect a thing.
You could have lent her your Kindle... Or you could have broken the DRM and did with it whatever you pleased. Both options are probably technically illegal (I don't own a Kindle and don't feel inclined to read a long EULA), but progress isn't made by meticulously sticking to the rules all the time. In fact this move by TOR seems to indicate that the rules can be changed if they are systematically rejected and casually broken by the majority of customers.

Keep thinking that, number 131916.
I think the torrent sites are on there because they provide entertainment without asking very much in return in terms of money or effort.
It's called Meth One. It's obviously populated by tweakers with OCD scrubbing that little rock as smooth as can be.
I have a hard time picturing how a hover dam manages to trap any water. Won't the water simply flow underneath the dam?
I know that when I get married, I won't be hiring a photographer. Instead I'll hire Pixar to make a 15 minute short commemorating the occasion.
Did you study at the Wile E. Coyote School of Physics?
Damn that developer really messes up your neurons when inhaled.
If you had RTFA you would know that emergency services didn't know that it was there.

The first 5000?
I can honestly say that I haven't sent 5000 text messages in my entire life.
Ironically, in Soviet Russia, vinyl discs were made of medical records!
No really, they were. It's not a joke.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Damn gold farmers.
Why was this modded down? It might be slightly off topic, but it answers GPs question and is factually correct.

Oh great! A new interface! Does it have proper color management yet?
Net neutrality is a great step, but on the same day a judge ordered all ISPs in the Netherlands to block the Pirate Bay. You win some you lose some.
Manufacturing creates value. Without it there is nothing to trade or service. This makes it the basis of a solid local economy.

And it will be called "the Compound" when the feds storm it.
