They also control the vote in terms of rigging elections. It doesn't matter who we vote for. I've know people to be turned away from voting because their name had already been used to cast a vote, and they had no recourse.
You misremember. It was Jetfire, not Starscream. He even came with the extra armor. As far as what would own what, we have no way of comparing armor and weapon strength between fictional universes.
Just use a three axis stick. I'm a Daishi fan myself, and have never had a maneuverability issue, but I have to admit never playing against humans. If someone is trying to get behind you one thing you can do is turn while backing up, it makes it nearly impossible for a mech even twice as fast as you to get behind you.
I do like how the different mission scenarios force you to optimize for entirely different things.
Thing is, putting a chip in the brain to control a prosthetic arm has already been done. There are other possible locations for it though; upper arm, spine, etc. The key is to give it access to nerves, and enough of them to develop all the desired control channels.
I'm not certain they're taking the best approach on that. It seems they don't need to replace any hardware, just the control cables. Put a chip in her brain, run wires from it under the skin through a signal processor to the hand. Shy might have to wear a circuit board on her forearm to process and amplify the signal, but would be able to use her existing hand.
I expect cheap flying hunter-killer drones pretty soon if they don't already exist. Hobbyists have been putting guns on RC helicopters for decades and the military has heavily armed expensive drones. Now the challenge is how cheap and light you can make a weapons platform that's sufficient for taking down a small drone..17 Mach II would be vastly superior to.22 LR for the application; flatter trajectory, higher velocity, lighter ammo.
Except that the metal only has value because we agree it does
Not true. The metal has value because we can do useful things with it. Sure the perceived value of gold and silver are much inflated over the actual value, but the actual value is still there. I currently have some parts running in a mill that are made of copper. The customer wants them made of copper not because of the perceived value of copper, but because of its mechanical and thermodynamic properties. They pay my company for the parts, we pay the copper supplier for the hunks of metal. The funny part is that we all pay in fiat notes, or more likely digital counters representing fiat notes.
Except that they can. There are businesses that will not accept cash, which is the truest form of dollar. I believe the IRS is one of them. There are businesses that will not accept checks, and others that will not accept credit cards. You can exchange cash for the digital dollars used by cards, but they are not the same thing, and there is no one universal currency in the US.

Omnipresent surveillance is inevitable, and will change society dramatically. The question what we choose to do with it.

Are you saying they're Finnished?
Wake up and do what, exactly? They control the media, the vote, the military...

I once heard a tax lawyer admit (in person) that he had lobbied for more complicated tax laws to increase the number of people hiring tax lawyers.

I'd wait a few more revisions first. If you watched the video you saw it's still pretty slow and clumsy.
Why not?
No, but I've got the map for Europa: http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af276/mhajicek/UQM03_17062008_094830.jpg

Looks to me like it might be a good profile for a ramjet. If so you could have your whole wingspan produce thrust. Am I wrong?
I wonder how much it would cost to put that 20m round in position.
If someone buys them out I'm quite sure they'll make more. As an OEM that's the kind of problem you want to have.
If they start getting shot down on a regular basis, balloons might be a good option for a super cheap flight platform.
As I recall very few of the elephants actually survived the mountains; many were used to feed the troops.
I'd try it.
A working prototype of that was made and integrated with a mouse not too long ago. Don't have a link handy though.
The Silence is already monitoring your every move. There's one right behind you.

How many bits should we use for encryption now?
All of them.
