As an long time AFOL (adult fan of LEGO) I think this is great.
By the way, the thin pieces are called plates and they are 1/3 as high as the regular bricks

One issue is whether it is in the public interest to allow one to insure against this type of loss (gross negligence)
Here is a question, should a company be allowed to have insurance against punitive damages, again a not in the public interest thing
At the time I attended (disclosure 40 years ago) the non-technical requirements were minimal. But you did have to take chemistry and physics. I majored in applied mathematics and stayed on to get a masters in information and computer sciences, I am a software engineer

Kroger uses its "Discount" card to gather information about the shopping basket (what things are bought together). This information is used for stocking and shelving.
The new device may be motivated by wanting to be able to tell if a person was just using the phone.
Not sure if using a cell while driving is illegal in Michigan yet, I should know I live in Michigan
If you are going to hook this up to a fuel cell, maybe this could be a closed system producing electricity. You would only need to get the water clean once
There is an interesting example of money that requires a lot of effort to create but is totally useless

Speaking of useless, prior to the 20th century, there was no practical use for gold
Why is it any more OK for Apple to lock down a handheld media device than it is for the MPAA to lock down your set-top-box?
1) You do not have to buy an Apple; you can get other smartphones. But much of America has no choice but to get TV from their cable company. I cannot get FiOS where I live (been on waiting list for 4 years) and trees prevent me from having satellite. So I'm stuck with that set top box. You know, the box I shouldn't even have to have if Comcast were to use a STANDARD to encode their digital so that my Media Center could work without an IR blaster? That box right there.
2) Apple is a vendor. Comcast is a vendor. The MPAA is not a vendor. You cannot choose to or not to purchase from them. They insidiously work behind the scenes on crap like this, whereas you know up front when buying an Apple that it's locked down. It's a minor but notable distinction from the point above.
If you live in southeast Michigan I have a chainsaw that can solve your satellite problem.

Actually in France its the other way round (guilty until proven innocent), Napoleonic code

I meant industrial use but you are correct, I was imprecise.

I would advice against tatoos but if you must do not forget e^(i Pi) = -1 (use the greek letter and superscripts)
