Um, the bending issue with the iPhone is a manufacturing defect. They made the phone too thin with no support, therefore it bent easily, leading to touch disease. It is not caused by dropping in any way, which you would know if you looked into the electrical cause of the issue. You would almost think that Apple never had any issues with BGA packages.
But yeah, I am sure that every manufacturer has design defects causing BGA chips to pop off the board because the phone doesn't have sufficient support of the circuitboard.
Capital costs: normal expectation, it depends on the design, but this is an expected expense of any power generation method. Patent costs: what patents? Safety: normal for most power generation methods Non-proliferation costs: of what? Sources are Hydrogen and output is Helium. This isn't Uranium. Cleanup: of what? The reactor will be good for a pretty long life if it works, and in the end, the only waste is the reactor vessel itself, which is much smaller than the amount of waste from fission reactors.
Big Oil is not investing in solar power, wind turbines or storage technology which will be the choice of alternative energy for now. Why should they invest in fusion?
Are you sure about that?
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Big Oil is; The supermajors are considered to be BP plc, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil Corporation, Royal Dutch Shell plc, Total SA and Eni SpA, with ConocoPhillips Company also sometimes described in the past as forming part of the group.
Perhaps you should get with the times, "Big Oil" has been investing heavily in renewables for years. But I guess that doesn't fit in your world view, so it is much more convinient to rage about how horrible big oil wouldn't invest in renewable energy. As for fusion, that is a harder question to answer, you would have to actually look into the investors behind each fusion energy project. My guess is that those nasty big oil companies are heavily investing into fusion, as that is what energy companies to.
As ray also points out, you are so far off base it is actually laughable. All those links above took me 30 seconds to find.
Around here (Maryland), a political type changed the building regulations to force everyone to flip electrical outlets upside down. That was at least one unnecessary regulation.
He seems to have backed off on his rants recently, though I have seen a couple. I think he decided last time that I wasn't worth arguing with, so hasn't pestered me in a while.
The only nutter I see around here is you, who for some reason argue against something that isn't true, usually with yourself as AC, and shout out space nutters as if you have actually disproven space travel.
Do you also believe the moon landings were a hoax?
Totally agree. I hate that when using bluetooth to my headset, it drops back to the headset protocol to use the mic. Why can't a2dp offer bidirectional audio for devices that have speakers and microphones?
Also, the quality is terrible, but you mentioned that already.
I would love to see the peer reviewed medical studies that show any effect of EM on the human body. Since you seem to be asserting something that clearly goes against the laws of physics, you must have some citations to back up your position.
I suppose time will tell if the audience actually gives a shit to separate fact from fiction anymore, regardless of Google's efforts.
None of the news orginazations give a damn about fact and fiction anymore, it is actually getting pretty hard to tell what is fact anymore as there is no authoritative source for looking up fact.
If they were going out of business for 2 years, why the HELL did they sell me a watch in a Kickstarter that I just received last month? I paid $99 for a watch that I have just lost the warranty (I just paid for) on according to their email.

At the 7 MPH this shuttle goes, frankly the squirrel can run out of the way faster.

It is still available for sale, and it looks like different versions are available. Glow in the dark sounds...interesting.
What does it matter how many?
How many have other presidents had shot down by the supreme court?
So, we can sell the water to homeopaths as a cancer cure?
I smell a business opportunity!
Which has happened twice in 50+ years.
Such as their support of touch disease? Charging people $250 for a fix to a manufacturing defect; such courage!

Privacy is never expected when you are standing on a soap box on a street corner shouting at the top of your lungs. What is there to understand here?
Are you sure about that? Have you seen the videos of the "protests" in Baltimore when Gray died?
There were kids walking around breaking the windows of cars trying to get home from work. How is that not harmful to people?

Clearly, we have the technology, but as always it is a financial issue.

I think you might have broken my sarcasm detector. It is pegged at the maximum now, and won't drop back down.
Will they be 1 ft tall like in reality?
After Bluetooth 4 disappeared without a trace, they needed to come up with another standard to replace it?

They weren't terribly expensive frankly.
My Citizen watch cost me way more money.

But I guess no matter how much you spend on things, someone will have an issue with wasted money.
