Am I the only one who saw this headline and immediately flashed on Tom Cruise getting on the subway in "Minority Report", and the retinal scanner software reporting his location to the police?
Trees don't grow in all places. If this tech can be used on non-arable land (and the limitation seems obvious; you have to build this stuff in places where you can actually retrieve the produced fuel, by pipeline or tapping a tank or whatever), then the two technologies (trees, and whatever you call this if it proves out) can profitably coexist.
Also, there's a _lot_ of non-arable land, although I doubt that covering the North American western mountain ranges and the Andes will prove especially popular with people who like actually looking at and climbing mountains. But... covering the largest deserts between the Arctic and the Antarctic ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ) would be likely to generate a lot of fuel, and (as another poster has pointed out) be pretty much carbon-neutral.
Remaining concerns include the following: 1) The other output of the process is Carbon Monoxide, a general-purpose poison gas at sufficient concentrations. 2) Most such processes to date have require the presence of rare earths, a definite limiting factor and possibly another source of poisons and heavy environmental costs from extraction.
Light moves at that speed in a vacuum. Light in a fiberoptic cable moves at a different speed. But I doubt it's different enough to matter in this scenario. (Just for yuks, has anyone got the speed measurement for light in fiber?)
... at the same time you removed subscription paying readers from a local area where your paper is published: you now have the opportunity to appeal to Ad revenue generating readers from all over the world -- as long as your work is high quality, including visual appeal which means professional quality charts, graphical design, and photos.
That turns out not to work as well as one could hope. Most news does not have high international appeal, unless you are in DC or on Wall Street. So you lose a _lot_ of local subscribers who paid real money, and you get back clickstream revenue, which is pretty universally a smaller quantity of money. Meanwhile, you still have a physical distribution network to maintain for your remaining subscribers. As someone noted higher in the stream, this becomes a death spiral.
Sikhs do have a lot of problems from all sorts of directions, when wearing traditional garb, including headdress/"turban" and ceremonial knife. Not least from TSA and other LEOs.
Eleven years later, Security still doesn't have it right.
>Seriously though, those Indians aren't interested in justice, they are interested in revenge.
If someone killed three thousand of your neighbors, you might feel that way, too. Oh, wait, is it after 9/11 yet?
Minor children can be escorted to the gate by their parents as little as a year ago. This took place on American at Newark, NJ, and involved getting a parent pass from the ticketing agent.
Carnegie used to do that -- disrupt steel cartels by agreeing to join, then overproducing and underpricing the agreements. Not that he was a saint or anything, but it'd be nice if more corps did that kind of thing.
1) Laws to keep them from breaking laws?
(2) Either the imprisonment gets enforced and no bureaucrat has the courage to invoke the basic law; or it doesn't get enforced, and why did we pass it in the first place?
(3) Obama and Bush administrations both declined to prosecute allegedly unlawful actions by their predecessor administrations, and Pelosi refused to introduce articles of impeachment when the House changed hands in '06. Since the Clinton impeachment, allegedly unlawful actions by presidential administrations have not been prosecuted. If this enabling legislation has passed, a sovereign and non-answerable authority will have the authority to turn off the Internet.
I dunno about every twelve months... but when I took calculus in college in the '80s, we didn't have any access to Mathematica or graphing calculators (Think BASIC, LISP, FORTRAN, and Tektronix terminals for graphics), and the course my daughter took last year made extensive use of graphing calculators.
This doesn't directly refute your point, which is that Calc doesn't experience rapid change. However, in a generation, there has been a heck of a lot of change, so big edition changes are appropriate.
The Founding Fathers fell into several ideological camps (influenced by, among other things, their background as planters or merchants and/or soldiers, and their various religious backgrounds in Deism, Christianita, or Freemasonry). Which founding fathers does Beck quote? Jefferson? Paine? Franklin? Not Hamilton, I'm sure. Adams?

You're saying you would have trusted the seller to disconnect the antenna?

There is no upper limit to individual consumption. Imelda Marcos owned 6000 pairs of shoes.
FAIL: "No True Englishman" tautology. Thank you for playing.

That's in the freaking trailers, dude. You don't have to play the game to know it.

Seriously though, those Indians aren't interested in justice, they are interested in revenge.
:: sigh :: trying again. Sorry, all.

I believe you have to have an Act of Congress authorizing you to sue, in order to actually prevail. Anyone can file suit.
