It is called geoengineering, no need for magic. Of course there is many people that would rather hope for magical pixie dust than to have human engineered solutions to the problem.
If you start late, you get to take advantage of more modern engineering, techniques, computer modeling, etc.
Not to mention a healthy dose of outright theft but that's just fine by me, after all all these resources are essentially being wasted reinventing the wheel.
If your goal is to to debate, then lacing comments with insults nullifies any useful input you may have. You effectively ruin an opportunity to give thoughtful feedback.
The US intelligence community has long warned that China's government has been waging a campaign of industrial and military espionage through hacking and even the White House asked them to "Stop hacking, pretty please". It really doesn't matter whether you have those secrets in China or somewhere else, the Chinese will get to them. I for one say hallelujah. For us the consumers, more competition is a good thing.
The FBI contacted him pretending to be from the Egyptian government and undoubtedly offering a boatload of money. It is not known whether he accepted out of a sense of patriotism he felt for Egypt or for the boatload of money.
The problem is that fracking is not a bad thing either.
Uh, what? Increased seismic activity (link shown in two cases) and water contamination (link shown in multiple cases) aren't bad things? Seriously, what? Also, they're injecting refinery wastes into the holes. Seriously, fucking what?
Scientists agree that fracking activity is far too deep for it to leech out to ground water. The cases of contamination are mostly due to problems with the well casing. We didn't stop building houses because poorly constructed ones could collapse on people, we tightened codes and toughened inspections, the same is needed to fix the wells issue. As for the seismic activity it causes more rattled nerves then actual damage.
Due to our success as a species many people tend to think that human-like intelligence is a sort of a evolutionary inevitability but the only other species with intelligence close if not the same as ours, the Neanderthals not only was a closely related species, they are also extinct. Homo Sapiens ourselves, came very close to extinction. As a species we didn't gain an upper hand until the advancement of tool making hundreds of thousands of years into our existence and no one knows if that was inevitable given enough time or it happened due to a highly unlikely series of events, perhaps just like high-intelligence itself. We know that flight has evolved independently several times during the course of evolution yet as far as we can tell high-intelligence has not. Given that most animals have brains one would imagine that a bigger brain would evolve far more commonly than the development of flight wings. Perhaps ultimately we are an oddity ever rarer and more awkward then a Duck-billed platypus.
As part of the app approval process developers should be required to explain why they want certain sensitive permissions, such as access to contacts, messages etc. Google should then deny approval of apps that overreach in terms of permission requests.
The biggest problem with the economy is wage stagnation. I think that supply and demand is a terrible way to set wages as a job is a necessity for nearly everyone. Demand for workers can shrink but the supply will not and wages will bottom out and as they do so will demand for goods, effectively creating a catch-22.
They are being given 3 year work-papers they are not being given legal-immigrant status or even a path to that. Work papers simply allow you to work in the country legally. Of course fact don't work well with the Conservative mindset that the working poor whether U.S citizens or not, simply want to live on government handouts. It does make the injustice of wage disparity much more palatable I guess.
I am paying the toll to get on this shinny 6 lane highway only to discover that the exit to New York city is back up for miles because the city refuses to pay them for a large exit. What do I care how many lanes the highway has or how fast it can get me to Jersey city, what I am paying for is to get to my destination the fastest possible.
The laws in many states go far behind simply decriminalizing possession of small amounts. In many states there are regulatory schemes that authorize and control the growing and distribution. These regulatory schemes can most certainly be challenged in court as they go far behind "giving their citizens more rights" which is generally allowed.
There are those that vote for a party and there are those that vote against one. It is a unfortunate eventuality of the limited choice presented by a 2 party system.
If the feds re-schedule it before there is enough public support than you will see a bunch of outraged state legislators quickly moving to make it illegal at state level, to "protect our children" of course. Federal law preempts state. The Obama administration could sue and have all the legalization laws, recreational or otherwise stricken from the books. Not doing that and directing federal agencies to even ignore dispensaries and growing operations unless they have suspicion of their drugs moving across state lines, is a pretty big deal.
All the uses for gigabit connections I hear basically boil down to multiple HD video streams and rented applications running on remote servers. Until someone can actually give me some truly useful purposes, know what you can keep your gigabit connection. Replacing TV tuners and Cable boxes should not be what we envision the Internet to become.
Neither merchants nor banks will see real benefits until there is near universal adoption and merchants can stop accepting swipes. With the large upfront cost and the benefits perhaps a decade away, neither side is willing to invest.
Seems like AT&T changed their definition of unlimited at some point.
Technically it is still unlimited the same way a slumloard could close the main water valve to allow barely a trickle and claim that he hasn't shut off your water.
You mean like GM's ignition switch fiasco. Killed plenty of people and they knew about it for years.Liability due to bugs or design issues is nothing new in the automotive sector.
In the rest of the world, restaurants have WIFI pay terminals that waitresses can bring to the table for credit card or debit card transactions and all the new ones support NFC as well.
This is only the case because credit cads were widely adopted in the reset of the world much later than in the U.S and could learn from its mistakes. If in the U.S NFC offers security than what exactly does it offer over pin and chip used in much of the world?
At least the notebook's logs weren't written in a cryptic binary format like systemd's logs. Because they're in plain text, we can still easily understand them over a century later.
Language's themselves are abstract constructs. We still can't decipher many extinct languages and there is no way to be sure that in the future anyone will still have knowledge of English or any other human language currently in use

Hahaha. Some do.
You are in very good company with the Climate change deniers, the anti-vaccine movement and the Intelligent Design community.

If the price for GB is below $0.50 then they got a winner.

Sending people on glorified joyrides is about the biggest waste of money I can think of.

People hate Obama-care and like the Affordable Care Act.
Smartwatches could take a revolutionary leap by dropping the watch moniker altogether and all the design constraints that come with it.
