Ridley Scott should never have tried to imply that Deckard was a replicant. It's a terrible choice for the movie and it's clearly not in line with the book. The story is about the dehumanization of Deckard while simultaniously humanizing the replicants. Deckard being a replicant just doesn't make sense in that context and ruins the entire point.
My concern is this-
The NSA decrypts all messages to see if they need to read those messages. Those decrypted messages go into a database which, like the cellphone metadata database, is opened to other agencies (the police) to browse. Pretty soon the only messages the police will need a wiretap to gather are those which are easiest to collect.
Unlike a trial there isn't such a straight-forward course of action to appeal being wanted for questioning. Likewise, he can't fight extradition to the US from Swedish holding until he's already being extradited. Assange is screwed until he decides to enter the labyrinth, and he's probably twice as screwed when he does.
The mere fact that 90% of discourse about government wiretapping has turned instead into a discussion about Snowden himself shows that trumping up bogus charges against Snowden is unnecessary. Instead the powers that be will silently get their revenge once all the hype dies down and the story about Snowden gets old.
The only way I could ever save money on my power bill is if I go off the grid completely.
I had been using normal PSE&G (southern NJ) and paying about $600/mo for my business. I switched to a different provider that locked me into a 10.3c/kWh supply contract. Now I pay $550/mo in delivery fees and $75/mo for supply.
I tried contacting the state agency that regulates power companies but, as expected, they neither knew nor cared what the expensive items on my bills were.
I'm not clear on this, does all the trapped light get released at once when you open the gate? Like shine a flashlight at the thing for 6 months and create a blinding flash?
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the 'milky way'
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth
Going with the notion that excessive regulation has it's own cost, maybe the solution here is to split up the cable giants? Comcast could easily be three separate companies- one that manages infrastructure and charges for it, one that sells TV channels to customers, and one that sells internet. The two later companies would just lease bandwidth from the former.
How many really technologically savvy people have NEVER "illegally" downloaded some form of music or movie? The FBI will have none of those people working for them. While at the same time the next article on Slashdot is about yet another network intruded into for the theft of financial information. Way to go team USA.
Actually that problem is some of the best environmental news of late. When the batteries are no longer suitable for cars they still hold tremendous value for renewable energy, and since the cost of the battery has already been covered by the car purchase it will serve to subsidize the cost of energy.
Also, the battery is not part of the car in the same sense as other car parts, since they are designed to be quickly swaped at charging stations to speed up 'refuel' times, so the car owner isn't responsible for it's replacement cost in the way you're implying.
Post war Detroit was far from some kind of manufacturing driven utopia. Detroit was an established industrial power before the war, then the bulk of their labor force vanished almost overnight to go fight. The labor shortage was met by tremendous immigration of the poor blacks from the south. Then the war ended and all those soldiers came back home...
There may have been a lot of high wage jobs in Detroit at that time period, but it was far from a rich city.

Why would they need something so fancy to damage your cartilage and repair tissue?
A bunch of rich guys on a private island in international waters with no laws? How long until a drug cartel with boats decides to make a quick buck?
Americans are getting smarter, no thanks to Obamacare.
With TPB abscent where else should I go?
No no, that was RAID proof the whole time. There is no redundancy of any kind in the pirate bay's system.
Or, since hacks already reach in and modify memory anyway, you just also hack the hardware id.

No loan program can require more then 8% of income for repayment? Simple, each lender has their own loan program! Ten loans? 80%!
Hey my first thought was "lose electron oxidation", which made about as much sense.

While they're at it state and federal funded roads compete unfairly with privately funded toll roads. Better do something about that.
