Have you ever heard the notion of single price or price discovery? All this speed helps you, the retail investor, get the best price, frequently with bid-ask spreads as small as a penny. This automation has served you well, eliminating floors of people "helping" you with that trade, clearly visible in fee rates. Go complain about getting too good of a deal if anything.
Front running is already illegal and strictly enforced in the United States. Brokers need to do manning which means giving fills to client orders whenever they match, even if the broker's order that executed was entered into the market before the client order was received. It might be 100 millisecond delayed to enjoy the benefit of hindsight, but clients get the best deal or the broker get fined and/or shut down.
It begs the question of if the polymer can be extruded through a small nozzle, why not stamp for bulk manufacturing? Thus, the sintering patents are worth more indeed.
LOL. When Microsoft got Windows NT certified for encryption (FIPS 140-2), the certification didn't include a network connection. Installing a network card, never-mind a cable, voided the certification.
Stop the wedge-bots by adding texture to the play surface. It would force designers to include suspension and some clearance.

Cellulostic ethanol will be produced efficiently by bioengineering the corn to already contain those enzymes which are activated after harvesting by means such as heat.
On the ground have a spotlight that lights the cable. Of course the cable will not be as straight as the beam, so the illuminated spot would have to traverse. The cable itself could have some reflectors to make this easier, such as like a mirror disco ball -- sometimes the observer gets lucky to see a really bright light. Using holographic material, the reflectors could be flush which would be needed for winching the balloon/kite back down.
Interestingly, wristwatches use such a reflective material so that the glare from the glass is not coincident with the glare from the non-imaging holographic reflector on the bottom of the LCD. It produces wonderful contrast at the correct angle.

Water From Wind

Vertical axis windmills are not new. They have a nasty habit
of shaking themselves to death.
As for getting water out of air,
using desiccants sounds more promising.
If reflections are the issue, wouldn't your first sale be to long haul
natural gas pipelines? They would be larger diameter for
reduced attenuation anyway. I suppose most pipe buriers, would
have already dropped a fiber optic cable when they had the ground open
for the pipe itself.
Hollow tubes work great as wave guides. You could use WiFi
chipsets no problem. Maybe the real issue is the head end
having to pump out too much wattage. Any backhoe that
broke a gas line might create a small metal radius at
the crack, which would be like putting a fork in a
(natural gas filled) microwave oven. No thanks.
On second thought all the reflections from the
mismatched characteristic impedances would probably kill your signal first.
If a ruggedized laptop is too expensive, and you try a
disposable $1000 laptop, consider
replacing the hard drive with a flash device. Besides
eliminating most of the moving parts, it
will reduce heat and increase battery life.
Here is my first
froogle hit
but many others exist. Many modern laptops can boot from
a cheaper USB flash device too, but an external gizmo may be undesirable.
Have you considered a hand crank charger such as this?
It was the first google link for me, and I am sure plenty more exist.
Depending on how much power you need, I would prefer a model
that uses a foot pedal.... or recumbent bike for that matter.
I salvaged a piece of plywood and started screwing stuff to it:
powerstrips, etherswitches, dsl-modem, access point, etc. Most of
the stuff you can drill a hole through if you choose wisely, but
for some I used c-clamps. The board sits vertically
which helps ventilation and sits nicely behind the desk.
At the very least screw your powerstrip to the back or underside of your desk.
If you are not allowed to drill, use a c-clamp.
Here is Chicago I rented an apartment without consulting a lawyer. It was a contract representing
1/3 of my salary but I had no fear, as leases in Chicago use a standardized form, which
is fair and has survived the test of time.
The flawed UTICA was the opposite. Like today's EULA, it requires me to consult
a lawyer and do hours of review and analysis for a piece of software I may
have picked out of the bargain bin at Walmart (if we had one in Chicago) for
$20. That is absurd. The UTICA was the lawyer full employment act of 2001.
Other areas have this regulation such as credit cards. Did you ever
wonder why all the companies were so nice as to provide a boilerplate
section indicating their annual fee in easy to read text?
I believe books once tried this stunt with several pages of "license"
at the front which generally forbid resale and lending from libraries.
The Supreme Court struct this down creating the "first sale" doctrince,
which is on life support today.
Therefore, for cheap software (less that $1000) I motion we standardize
the EULA's that are permissible. Perferrably to one with a dozen
checkboxes for the reasonable variation among verdor wishes. Does
anyone care to draft it?

Whatever. Foreign currency (FX) trading is the same way. If your account makes a profit you get booted. It does not matter how you did it.

You mean as Brainiac shows in this video.
How does an RFID prevent the car from being stolen by a tow truck? Here is Chicago illegally parked vehicles are moved all the time -- RFID be damned.
Thorium reactors have more promise. They are safer, simpler, and cheaper.
My buddy posted photos of the 96 foot tower he installed.

The plaintiff does not need to show actual losses if he can show the defendant made revinue off it. That money is entirely in jeopardy.

I know Chaska Minnesota does this with wireless gear from Tropos Networks. Are they supplying Minneapolis too?
