Environmentalists don't consider ANY power source to not adversely affect the environment. You mention any power source and I could probably find some environmentalists group that has objections.
* You don't like coal because it emits soot and C02 * You don't like gas because it still emits C02, even though it's way better than coal * You don't like nuclear because, well, you name it. Excuse after excuse after excuse. * You don't like Hydro because of the fishes. * Some of you don't like large solar because of he turtles or whatever else crawls on the ground and will be denied the Sun. * Some of you don't like wind because...hell, I don't know. The fact that some of you do is hilarious considering the trubines regularly kill endangered birds.
You pretty much don't like anything. You don't have a solution except austerity/rationing/restrictions/taxes.
You would think that with the advent of drones/quad copters and the technology stabilizing and controlling them, that various manned vehicles such as this or even Moller's Skycar would be popping up all over the place.
I look forward to a giant Wooly Mammoth rampaging down the streets of Seoul, knocking down buildings and stomping cars all while carrying some scantily clad hot women with his trunk and being chased by a little boy shouting "Giant Elephant!, Giant Elephant!".
The Plato system was not a niche system. It was a complete automated learning system with content in all areas, reading , writing,math, history. They were the first to have the curriculum adapt to the students progress and allow, theoretically at least, a student to follow a course of study independently.
They did not close their doors until 2006.
Anyone involved in the educational software market knew and respected Plato.
Scan the ballots three separate times at the district and compare the results. Report the results over the network...confirm via portable media, confirm again with rescan at central location before certification of the election.
Not to mention the fastest drones (Quadcopters mostly is what we're talking about) can do about 30-40 MPH. It's hard enough to pick out even large twin engine aircraft against the backdrop of a populated city and usually what helps is that fact they are moving against that back ground.
It's things like this that make someone who is conservative and pretty much Pro-Business agree with Obama that these people need to be declared Public Utilities and suffer all the usual regulations.
Right now, Cable companies are gaming the system. They claim to be competitive businesses and that they should not be regulated like a utility, yet they enjoy the protections from competition typically enjoyed by Utilities.
My neighborhood has Time Warner and AT&T DSL. AT&T was only able to provide internet because they had the phone lines. As it stands now Verizon, Google, or anyone else who wants to provide broadband, can't because of the franchise agreements. Time Warner can fuck you in the ass and all you can do is beg for lube because no other company is going to think, "hey, we can do a better job at a lower price" and then provide service because the Government (local) won't allow it.
So Two Options...Declare all exclusivity/franchise agreements null and void and allow anyone with the capital to lay/string lines and provide service, or declare these fuckers utilities and MANDATE levels of service or tell them to GTFO and let someone else provide it.
It's like coming home and having your teenage son tell you he just traded his 2000 pickup (in good condition) for a "really cool" 1990 Camaro that just needs a little body work and some engine work. And oh, by the way, can he use your car until he gets the tires replaced?
So then, to be in complete compliance with eSOX, the boats crews will need to have segregated duties. Owners aren't allowed on the boats. Captains can't fish and the the crews can't drive the boat. The guy who baits the hooks or deploys the nets isn't allowed to pull them in.
After all, we need complete segregation of duties.

Ha!

That's the problem with you "environmentalists".

Fusion is just 20 Billion years away!
With regards to the comments the execs made about harassing reporters and such...
It should be pointed out that Reports act exactly as he suggested others do.
Maybe they can sell one of the Mine Resistant Anti-Armor vehicles.

Water vapor is a Green House Gas, you know!
I didn't see costs per mile either (for fuel).
The line between genius and insanity is a thin one.

Electronic ballots are slow and stupid.

I believe all .22 rounds (as we are discussing them, not some necked down monster case with a pound of powder in it) are subsonic.
16.5 tons times 300 million people = four billion nine hundred fifty million
1.375 billion people times 7.2 tons = nine billion seven hundred seventy million four hundred thousand
Well, he wanted too. :-)
Well, us cutting, with the expected impact on our economy, while they don't cut, isn't really what I'd call a a Good Thing.
They are going to pay us on Tuesday, for a Hamburger today.

Everyone who believes China will uphold their end of the deal, raise your hand.
Thought so.
I wonder where Obama is going to plant those magic beans he just bought.
That, or Dr. Who mucking about again.
How much of a loser do you have to be to make death threats over anything remotely linked to video games?

All I know is that if they advertise X megs down and I pay for X megs down, then should have X megs down, 24/7 if I choose.
Whether or not their research is a threat to free speech is really not the point.
The point is, why are they even spending federal money on this?
