Agreed. However this breakthrough means that in wartime the citizens will have to Eat for Victory to ensure a steady supply of raw materials, thus making war even more popular. It's a win-win situation really.
That was the fallacy behind the dot-com boom in the late '90s. The information-economy will always be a small part of the total economy. You can't eat information, Information doesn't keep you warm and it doesn't keep the rain from falling on you or take away your garbage to the dump.
People have needs more basic than information. Someone somewhere is going to do real physical work to fill those needs. On the other hand, we could do with a lot less shuffling of paper. Those people will have to find a real job.
Yeah, that's here in mainland Europe. The isle of US-lite doesn't really count. At least it's faster than their postal service. I can get stuff shipped from the US or Japan in less than a week and most of that time is spent in customs, But a package that merely has to cross the Channel to reach me usually takes over a month to arrive.
Counterexample: Cable modems work fine without an antenna.

I don't buy that "weakest of bonds" line. Splitting the sucrose molecule in the kitchen takes on average 20 minutes of boiling with water and citric acid. (it's a good nutrient for yeast in making alcohol) So unless there are magical enzymes in the stomach that can do it 100 times as fast at body temperature, you're talking out of your ass.
What happened to them was that they were rebranded as "economic refugees" or "fortune seekers" and left to starve. The lucky ones are called "illegal aliens" (wouldn't want to make them sound human now would we) and work shitty jobs for slave wages. World wide food prices have doubled. Changing climate is one factor contributing to that. Revolutions are always economic in nature, and North Africa is all revolutions these days. It is happening right now but if you refuse to look then you won't see anything. Or you can blame facebook or Charlie Sheen or whatever.
For many consumers P2P filesharing is the reason why they want a > 20Mb/s connection. It's what sells premium packages, even if ISPs will never admit it.
So she votes to make something illegal that she doesn't even understand?
I think that sums up the work of your average politician. They are not evil, just incredibly dense outside their field of expertise, which happens to be back stabbing.
So it is, but there is still that dangling amine group on the monomer which would be susceptible to acid base extraction if you'd find a suitable non polar solvent.
A fine idea, but then reality sinks in when people start losing data and lawsuits are filed and the whole thing gets shelved for the next round in one or two decades.
No the twin paradox is resolved by noticing that one twin has to accelerate at least twice on his round trip (and thus his frame of reference isn't in an inertial frame of reference and therefore not valid for calculations in special relativity) while the stationary twin doesn't accelerate at all.

You have to have civilization. What's the point of traveling to other planets if they don't have decent tapas restaurants?
I interpolated those results and concluded that the earth is an ellipsoid with an eccentricity of 0.645
Science is awesome!

It is also complete nonsense.
Evaporation is a serious factor in the aging of Whiskey. The so calledAngel's share.
So whiskey may be sold by volume, but the effect is the same.
Bribing them with shiny toys only turns them into entitled little shits as many bad parents have found out to their cost.

Step 4: all WebM videos transcoded in the next codec they adopt.
Repeat until nothing is left of grandpa's videos.
That's no way to talk about my mother!

You've been posting this shit for a couple of days now. Are you a bot, a troll or a sad individual crying for help?
Just curious.

You sound like a telephone operator in 1994. Those crazy kids with their modems!

Almost sounds like an acid-base extraction. Is it an alkaloid?
1200 fps it is then.
Not me, I'm stuck on Win2K at work as well. Have to run Opera, because Firefox is too slow on this machine.

On the contrary. The tech is here. All you can do is develop counter tech. Make sure they can't trace you, like that guy in Gattaca.
Car companies determine fuel prices now? I did not know that!
I must have dozed off half-way during the last Bilderberger congress.
You can't expect a lifestyle magazine like Wired to know about technology.
