The whole reason why HPV is so wide spread in the first place is because discouraging sexual activity doesn't actually prohibit or actually lessen it, it just makes people more ignorant to it. The only thing that actually works to curb sexual activity is education and the only thing that curbs the spread of disease is to prepare your children to be cautious and safe. You are suggesting ignoring the mice that are already there instead of buying the cats or even the traps to deal with them in the first place.
As salt is one of the most plentiful minerals on the planet and such a small amount of the overall salt produced is due to desalinization, I doubt your prediction will ever happen.
All of the schools in my state have SRO's or School Resource Officers, and I live in freaking Idaho. Every school has a police presence and while I don't think is it a great idea, i do see a use for them.
The FCC was basically established to maintain and regulate the phone companies in 1934. We have basically always subsidized the phone companies so that they could provide phone service to all americans and not just the areas where it was profitable. In order for many rural communities to even have phone service, the gov't had to step in and shove huge piles of money into phone company hands.
The phone companies have been sucking off the government teat since their inception for the most part.
I think unless they are going to start dropping rates when they start getting more and more money they shouldn't get shit. It's not like the broadband companies that start getting the cash are going to be different from the ones that are currently providing phone service. That's like the government taking money away from the marketing department of a company and giving it to the sales department. Sure different people might be getting the money, but the same company is still collecting the same stipend.
I suppose it really depends on how you measure a "good" president. There are some people that think Bush Jr. was the best thing to happen to this country, but they marked their survey ballot in crayon with a big "X"
Bullshit, even with term limits it would just be a mad power and money grab until the final bell rang. The only want to stop this disaster is to take the money out of politics. With out the money the incentive for power hungry individuals would cease to be there and it would remove the incentive for the representatives to rule against the best interests of their constituency in favor of a corporate oligarchy and the general established aristocracy.
I don't think I stated that "defense" spending or tax cuts for the "job creators" wasn't a huge waste of taxpayer dollars and is in fact sinking our economy in an almost criminal fashion. I didn't advocate nixing NASA, but I think that our sights should be set a little closer to home. Again, jumping to the ultimate conclusion of any statement is hyperbole and you have just engaged in it yourself.
Last time I checked, NASA isn't the only agency that does science. NOAA comes to mind as well as the NSF just to name a few. I my point is that there are terrestrial concerns that are a tad more pressing for the immediate term. Drop the hyperbole.
Is this something that Neil Armstrong would be disappointed about? I think this is some pretty cool news myself, even though I don't exactly believe it to be the best use of government funds ATM.
What on earth prevents it from replacing everything? SRAM, DRAM, disk drives?
Having worked in the semiconductor industry for over 10 years I can't dispute that this would be an acceptable replacement for all forms of memory inside of your system. However, I've seen several technologies (MRAM, FeRAM, RAMFlash) come and go that were touted as "the ultimate memory and storage technology" (URAM) that although were feasible, completely fizzled due to market and manufacturing concerns. DRAM is a mostly low profit industry where SRAM is a very high profit industry. Flash is a pretty stable market now with good margins, where DRAM is a stable market with horrible margins. The most likely place to target replacements is the low and medium profit margin industries and leave the high profit ones where they are. Even most NOR Flash has been dumped in favor of NAND Flash due to more stable profit margins in most markets even though some applications would work fine with NOR as opposed to NAND.
That is what on earth prevents if from replacing everything. Not that I disagree that it shouldn't, I'm just explaining.
SRAM is used in such small densities that its energy consumption is negligible. SRAM is indeed hugely inefficient and would likely be replaced with this type of memory should it become feasible, but I think GP was and I know I was speaking to DRAM which is what the majority of people speak of when they mention the RAM in their system. When was the last time you updated your SRAM?
This is looking to be more of a replacement for flash and other solid state memory so it would not be the RAM in your PC that's getting replaced, it would be the HDD which does consume a good amount of power. A more efficient system for accessing the data on your drive would in turn lower CPU power usage which would in turn reduce overall power consumption of a standard computer or laptop. This would also have implications to reduce the drain in things like MP3 players and cellphones thus prolonging the battery life in those devices as well.

That's because relationships with the opposite sex has a tendency to put stress on your heart.

Please Hammer, don't hurt 'em!
Wrong! it was caused by the mighty herds of Buggalo from Wong Ranch.

Hey, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Ups to you sir. I wish I had points for you.

Mostly they showed me that John Hodgman is more awesome than Justin Long.
More like a virginity preserver
Sir,
You are instantly and forever my most favorite person in the world.

Even with the rampant 'piracy' lately, the music/movie industries are making record profits.
Exactly, I have a hard time feeling sorry for them when they and the rest of corporate america are raking in the cash.

Or did you think we like to support backwards misogynist despots because they're just like us?
I think it's because their hands are so soft
you're funny
have fun with that

And the wide acceptance of drug use in the book as palliative and beneficial.
