that the only fusion projects that allow billions of dollars pumped into them are projects that under no circumstances will scale down to sizes that don't require many millions to build, and thus will always be controlled by big corporations? If the billions that were spent on the Tokamak and eventually the laser thing were spent on the other approaches, they might actually work, and might be scaled down to interesting sizes.
You mean ""preventing terrorism" is not essential" like the kind that knocked down the twin towers and cost the economy over 700 billion bucks? That ain't essential? Far be it from me to defend the NSA and their unscrupulous ways of "preventing terrorism", most of which seems to have more to do with putting Americans on various kinds of watch lists, but at least trying to prevent terrorism is profoundly important, especially when the potential for dirty bombs and EMP attacks are there.
Buy a small window unit for the bedroom. The most important thing is to sleep cool. I can endure the day's heat as long as I can do that. Also, keeping the bedroom cool during the day gives you an oasis from the heat from time to time. For a couple hundred bucks, it's worth it, even if it's not used very often.
I see it about every other movie I go to, if not more. Maybe a button could be at every other seat that alerts the folks in the control room that someone is on their phone. That would likely be abused too though.
We've heard that phrase "Ignorance of the law is no excuse" scads of times throughout our television viewing experience, but given that this ruling came *after* this person acted as he did, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
So to abide by the law (at least in this case) all you have to do is know the minds of how the SCOTUS will rule in the case months or years before they render a verdict.
sucks.
Whoops. 15 years. Brain fart. Ignore. Sorry. 15 years ago, I don't think too many people would be thinking we'd be in flying cars now. Just my perception from then.

Someone who can create worlds in a box doesn't really sound too much like a dull weirdo to me... especially if they let me play around in their world.

It's getting harder and harder to sing that last line in the Star Spangled Banner.

Sure it may be able to handle 310 mph winds, but can it handle a house (or car or bus) being blown by 310 mph winds?
Onward, to cloning neanderthal women.
Carter was thrown out because of double digit inflation and gas shortages.
We have to break into their systems. How else are we going to figure out what they've stolen from us?
Not that you agree with it, but your sig makes me ask the question, "What's the use of a good quotation if you can change it?
Whoops. 15 years. Brain fart. Ignore. Sorry. 15 years ago, I don't think too many people would be thinking we'd be in flying cars now. Just my perception from then.
If someone had tried guessing how our day would be 30 years ago, how close would they be to where we are now? No doubt flying cars would be predicted.
They give lots of millions to people playing games every year. Why shouldn't scientists who are doing things that really matter get a big payoff?
I think if they want an exit interview, I'm just going to email them a link to this.
"... at which point *we'll* actually be able to build a global quantum network for all of our cryptographic needs."
What do you mean "we" wide-eyes?
What a cool nickname. Seems like a short version of "The Wizard of Oz".
After all, if you are a citizen (naturalized or otherwise), you will have a ssn.
Not necessarily. You don't just get one issued at birth, although the state would love to do that. You have to apply.
I can't help but believe that the real reason they're going to Phobos is to take a look at that "monument".
640kb ought to be enough for anybody.
This is precisely why I use temporary credit card numbers. BOA has this, not that I like dealing with them, but I don't know who else does.
Right. This is way more secure than burning them in the fireplace.
I'm just not that mad at razor blades.
