Well, with that much hydrocarbon on the loose on Titan, I'm reasonably certain that the environmentalists will want Titan removed from their sight as it is offensive! Please either use the C4 space modulator to eliminate Titan, or cover it with a black box warning.
I presume you mean live main. That is done every single day by hundreds of people, there are countless reasons, the most common being zero downtime is permitted from power loss due to running life saving equipment, a billion dollar experiment, or someone can't risk losing even a single word of information you have place out in the internet! DATA VITAL, Life, not so much.
Operator/electrician IGNORED NFPA 70E standard and associated requirements. Anyone that has spent a few hours in a 40 calorie suit for Arc flash protection knows what a pain life safety can be. Now you know what safety feels like while having wet feet from sweat! Now as a brit, if his contractor demanded he do work without safety equipment/procedures, he should have walked off the job, filed a complaint with the Jobs office and he'd still get paid + be alive!
Lying about the subject in the headline is one easy way to make me not trust the article. There are 52 weeks in the year, not 47 as you indicated as the number of shootings in a year. I don't give a Rats Ass if it was the gun of the person who was shot, they should still be tried under the laws regarding keeping guns away from children and tossed in jail. Utter stupidity, especially if you look at how many infants/toddlers die in traffic accidents each year... BAN CARS! Especially cop cars... they admit that they are the most distracted drivers on the road!
I think I'll wrap myself in printed out gun laws and wear it as a bullet resistant vest... note, I don't plan on that working any better than the laws!
If the officer is in serious life threatening danger, he is probably going to die anyway. So how about a gun that fires a bullet towards the perp/threat and one out the back into the officer. Okay it is violent, but the results will always be a tie. After all, currently if an officer kills someone in a legitimate situation, there is a good chance his life will be ruined especially if he is found not guilty.
"The great liability of the engineer compared to men of other professions is that his works are out in the open where all can see them. His acts, step by step, are in hard substance. He can not bury his mistakes in the grave like the doctors. He can not argue them into thin air or blame the judge like the lawyer. He can not, like the architects, cover his failures with trees and vines. He cannot, like the politicians, screen his shortcomings by blaming his opponents and hope the people will forget. The engineer simply cannot deny he did it. If his works do not work, he is damned...."

Still true today.
For those of you who have managed global software project using facilities across the world, then you know what the failure of this methodology will be. It takes a 1000 page document to define the effort and outcome needed, but despite that document, the "Hello World" project will be buried in things like what font is to be used? What color should the text be? Should the text scroll, should the text blink on and off? What is the blinking rate? All this and more just for a simple printf statement! And for each off the wall question or idea, code writing stops... until another document is generated to clarify in detail what is to be done. Cost and time overruns are infinite if there aren't enough coders in silivaley to manage the coders overseas. The typical ration is 3 overseas and 1 in the US to do the actual work.
I'm curious to know what material (plastic) the balls are made of and the mold release used during the production process. Sure, just one "toxic" ball is not enough to poison the folks drinking the water, but multiply that by 96 friggin million times... you might just have a real toxic problem.
We all want the same thing, clean free energy and perfect San Diego CA style weather all year round. I'm sorry, but wishing for that is unicorn and butterfly crap if you are expecting no negative impact! At certain larger solar facilities the poor birds are being turned into streamers which results in an agonizing death. Where are the people demanding that we put pink bicycle helmets with my little pony stickers on the Birds, or perhaps a tin foil hat!
AI will still need the humans around for a while, even if it is just to keep making Soylent Green to insulate their funnybot shields thereby preventing overlorde!

I believe we are missing the main reason of the Govt wanting Title 2 of the Telecommunications Act enforced on broadband... its a nearly limitless source of taxes! They can choose if it is by bit, byte, time, content, political leanings, and so on. This could actually hit the economy harder than raising the national gas tax! Net neutrality is just the guy saying: "Ignore that man behind the curtain... I am the Great Oz"
After doing quite a bit of work making it easier for my father, who had Parkinson's, to use a mouse via 3d accelerometers and firmware, this approach is wonderful news. The accelerometer approach worked at first, but as the tremors got worse, the signal to noise ratio became unmanageable. Personally, having MS along with hereditary peripheral neuropathy, I am reasonably certain that within the coming years it will be necessary for me to use this technology. I will definitely make use of this open source "gift" and do what I can with it to help others, and while I'm at it, myself.

Now instead of beating people to death, they just talk them to death! Hmmm sounds like perfect training for a high up Govt. job....
