Dr. Kim was also precluded from testifying as to whether song files were conspicuously placed in a shared files folder or were wilfully offered for distribution."
And bang goes the case. She's been done for wilful infringement but can you really imagine this woman sitting at home cackling "that'll show them RIAA lot"?
Compensation for loss of data? It isn't lost; you just can't have it. If you design shit and you lose business, then sue for that. But I would hope a judge would tell you where to stick it if you couldn't get by without your cat pictures and your link to 4chan
Firstly, we don't have attorneys. Secondly, the officer in charge already has the authority to search your home and possibly confiscate items therein; if they suspected you of something they'd probably have arrested you shortly after stepping over the threshold.
If things happen as you describe this thing will be stopped. We've just stopped a tiny bit of corruption over here, and most of us feel like we're on a roll.
That's the advantage of the Polywell, it's (comparatively) cheap compared to ITER and the project has produced fusion. The design promises the obsolescence of conventional steam plant, meaning cheaper power plants, and clean power assuming they can achieve net power with p+B.
If you live in one of the so-called developed countries (pfft!) then a billion USD is probably a drop in the ocean. Bussard was asking less than half that; it saddens me that he didn't live to see his work come to fruition.
The potential of fusion power: cheap and clean energy and the potential to use oil for something better than fuel - building material, i.e. plastics. We need to cast our nets wide and fund anyone who can bring us closer to the end of our dependance on fossil fuels.
We have a red GPO (from when the Post Office ran the telephones) phone at home, which still works when plugged in (having wired an RJ11 to the end), even though it's pulse dial. Best of all, it's red! Fun being able to pretend you have the soviet premier on the other end of the hot line, what.
This might be the case if you're talking a hundred or so years back, but today I think its because designers have to build down to a price point rather than up to a standard. I used to have a stapler at work (better than a red swingline) that had "Government Property, 1949" stamped on the bottom. Truly, it was a well-made stapler, solid and (obviously) built to last. When I hit that thing, it felt almost as good as getting out the rubber stamp.

If you read slashdot, you'd think that there would have been no possibility of RIAA winning because they are incompetent idiots without a clue.
I was under the impression it was because the crowd thought they were the devil incarnate.
"I would think that the future of fusion generation would be a component of fission generation." How? What? Huh?
Burning and breeding. Powerful neutron sources can be quite handy, but I doubt that's what the OP meant.
Or, indeed, Bussard Collectors.
It puts me in mind of an Outsider ship, which is odd when you consider how they prefer travelling at sub-light speeds.
With jet engines up their arses, I presume?
That's the problem. Even if it's public money used to bail out GM they'll still claim the patents as theirs, their own, their preciouses.
Niven toyed with the idea of genetic (RNA at least) memory too, before he grew out of it.
You already are; the question is how many?
There was still the war of tabs vs. three spaces. Lest we forget those who fell in righteous indentation!
If one end is sealed and the other is in vacuum, how does the gas enter? Put an open bottle in a tank of water and see what (doesn't) happen.
Then the container implodes.
He's a banker, you can't expect imagination from him. If he were an accountant, though... they can be very creative.
You have a gift card for store X, it's worth the same as cash there and nothing anywhere else. A gift card is not the same as a cash gift.
It's the UK police. It's probably the "evil" one.
Never ascribe to malice...

It doesn't need to be broken; just stopped.

What's that in wafer thin mints?

Say what? Isn't the clue in the name: horse power?
Your cup of spunk is in the mail.
They'd make a killing in the cremation biz.
