    Were the Democrats the "right wingers" in the early-to-mid 90s? sure seems that it was them that got kicked out for trying to pass this government money grab known as healthcare just over 15 years ago.

    I work in a company that deals with a lot of data. Mostly transaction log data that we have to do statistical analysis of, and we are getting more and more almost daily ( to the tune of terabytes a day ) We are wholly owned by our clients and have to deal with them mostly for funding. Even though we out scale Oracle quickly we can't afford it. As we move forward we are looking at Hadoop due to cheap and easy scalability along with the fact that there is processing power tied to every chunk of data that we can use our analysis software on.

    Working in what is effectively Majority Report of crime prevention is not an easy task and needs a lot of both storage and processing power.

    What are you talking about? This was the Fox News channel of Venezuela. I applaud their effort to get rid of the anti-progressive government ideas. They need to do the same thing to Fox News here. Fucking right wing republican morons. We tried freedom, it didn't work, move on.

    3) How will someone who is poor be ensured the same treatments as someone who is wealthy?

    Because a system that will allow them both to die is better than one that provides an option if you are willing and able to pay for it? If a procedure costs 1 million to do you think a poor person is going to be able to get the procedure under any government plan? the procedure will just not exist.

    I think a chain mail glove would be a horrible idea. Instead of a fairly clean cut off finger that could most likely be stitched back on, you'd have a crushed and mutilated hand as the blade pulled the chain mail and your hand into that little slot.

    It's not a currently accepted solution. In fact I'm pretty sure the only place this exists is in the patent holders prototypes.

    How would this be any different than the little spiny things in the light bulb with one dark side and one shinny/white side using heat difference to spin. You're not generating perpetual motion, you'd be using energy from the environment, it'd just resemble perpetual motion in that you'd wouldn't directly see the energy you'd just see a cold spot and a hot spot.

    That said, i don't believe it to be possible, but not on any laws i know.
