They need more effective DRM on the virus to prevent unauthorized copying. Stiff penalties also need to be applied to those who contract the virus without paying royalties.
Reducing guns does reduce gun crime, but it tends to increase violent crime in general. I've never heard a gun control advocate use violent crime numbers, only gun crime numbers. Do some research on that and you'll answer your own questions. Also, knowing that my attacker is likely to go to prison after killing me would be a small comfort. Which brings me to the subject of the police. While they will usually protect the innocent if they have the chance, they cannot and will not be everywhere at all times. They cannot protect you from a home invasion or a back alley mugging unless you have the means to defend yourself for at least five minutes.
It also has to be fast. If it takes half a second to activate the weapon that could be too long. Plus you'd have to take off any gloves you're wearing. Then there's that slim but non-zero chance of hidden programming to disable all such weapons on a predetermined date, or by wireless command. Or vulnerability to EM interference, static discharge, or a taser hit. Or as mentioned before, low battery at an inopportune moment.
I've had to repair an industrial system that required a specific version of win 95, and a specific motherboard. Fortunately I was able to find a compatible replacement hard drive, otherwise the whole thing would be scrap.
If they tried that in the machining industry they'd go out of business. I think I've seen maybe one or two percent female machinists and I've never personally met a female cnc programmer as far as i can recall.
Not true. There are several places that accept BC directly as payment. Also the buying power of the US dollar has fluctuated more than 50% in relation to various commodities and other currencies over time as well. What's stable depends on your reference point.
There is another question that should be answered first: Do we want to automate innovation? If we do, very few humans will get a lot of practice at innovating, which means that when innovation beyond the capabilities of the software is desired there won't be a good supply of humans up to the task.
Should a factory worker manufacturing weapons and munitions be targeted? In war historically they have been. I think the main problem now is that we don't have distinct times of war and peace, we have a messy in-between all the time.
Even if you can't get at anything on the plane, it could be possible to hijack and falsify the telemetry. You could keep telling maintenance that the engine is just fine even though it's in trouble, so it doesn't get the service it needs.

Actually China is stockpiling natural resources in huge quantities. Primarily metals from what I've heard.

Wish I had mod points. Insightful.

That's a part of it. Another is that prohibition simply doesn't work. Whether it's alchahol, drugs, weapons, or anything else.
I used to know a guy who lost his hands and eyes to an explosion. He had Krukenberg hands and was able to function fairly well.

Like all that 1950's dubstep.
I'd like to see something that takes pipe from the hardware store as a barrel. 3/4" plumbing pipe perfectly fits a 12 gauge shell.

It's not that they didn't understand, it's that they had no reason to want money if they were already providing for all of their own needs.

By the time all the gold on Earth is mined, asteroid mining will be in full swing.
New meaning of "HUD home".
Unfortunately in the US, the concepts of personal property and innocence until proven guilty rarely apply any more.
There are several services that will print and ship what you upload.
Also anecdotal, but my access has been quite slow both at home and at work the past couple days. Though of course correlation...

They well could. And if Glass is banned while driving I'm sure a phone-HUD link will be just around the corner.

Security has no ROI, but a lack thereof has a negative ROI. It may be better received if called "loss prevention".
I've been there. It's all about control. It doesn't have to make sense.
No true Scotsman is nonbiological.
