Use different resources? I would say that when all resources are used, evolutions typical answer is not to use different resources, but to take those resources from someone else that is using it. Its called predation.
If it really is "any statement made is assumed to be false unless you prove it's true", then the easiest way to fight back against the chiropractors is to file a libel suit against them for claiming chiropractic works. Unless of course I am missing something inane?
exactly. Just use the odometer and read it when you go in every year to pay your tag tax.
There is no need to track the whereabouts of every vehicle in the US using gps, have that info available through hackable rfid tech, etc, if all you are doing is tracking mileage.
The last science fair I did in public school was ridiculous. Here were some of the rules, that they sprung on us a week before submission...
1: no electricity. 2: no acids. 3: no bases. 4: no projectiles. 5: no gases. 6: no glass. 7: no metal. 8: no liquids. 9: no living things. 10: nothing sharp. 11: no chemicals of any kind. 12: nothing scary.
I had to scrap my rail gun at the last minute to do some solubility in water BS, and I still ended up breaking a few of the rules to do even that.
I am no fan of mice. I once woke up in the middle of the night to notice a mouse sitting on my foot and eating the skin from my toes. I spent the rest of the night sitting in the dark in the middle of my apartment with a pellet gun and a flashlight. Every time I heard it scurry I would spot light it. The first time it was in front of my computer. The second time it was in front of some glass dishes. The third time I cought it in the open, and took a shot as it jumped jumped 3 feet towards some shelves. I managed to hit it center of mass from about 10 feet.
Western society in general and American culture specifically is a lost cause. Keeping the majority of people dumb is far more profitable in the short term for corporations, theocrats, bureaucrats and supporters of the police state. And most people are happy with it as long as they keep getting soap opera melodrama and fake reality tv. We are living in a culture where showing intelligence is looked down on, much less encouraged.
Did you miss every single one of the points that I made? Those are my rights, with a long standing of being upheld by rule of law and the courts. DRM in combination with the unconstitutional DMCA removes those rights by making those rights impossible to use without breaking the DRM (and violating the DMCA in the process).
Most pirates are starving Ethiopians who can barely afford ammo for their AK-47 and gas for their boats, I doubt that they are in the market for video games.
Copyright infringement is not piracy, it is not theft. When you call it that, you lie.
DRM does not prevent copyright infringement, at best it delays the inevitable.
As such, no, the demands of taking away my rights while being completely ineffective at the claimed purpose are by no means reasonable.
I would bet that the tech they are developing is the software/hardware required to aim the mirrors at the focal point. If that gets standardized and mass produced, I could see dramatically scaling up solar thermal power cheaply.
Its something I have thought about for years, but never had the capital or free time to invest in seriously.
If it didn't violate the First Sale Doctrine. If it didn't violate the principal of Fair Use. If it didn't violate my right to format shift. If it didn't violate my right to backup my data as many times as I want, in any way that I want. If it didn't violate my right to use my content on any device I want. If it didn't violate my right to use my content whenever I want and without expiration, even in the event that the content provider no longer exists.
These are all rights that content providers have not been able to bribe politicians to take from us in the US. These are all rights that DRM can strip away, by making the expression of these rights impossible without circumventing DRM and doing that is criminalized under the DMCA.
especially because they got the dimensions off. Everyone knows that you measure the dimension of a screen as a line across its diagonal.
This allows all kinds of funky advertising, switching from a 32 inch display to a 34 inch wide screen will actually reduce your viewing area while increasing the amount you have to pay.
If you almost die in an auto wreck, you are going to wear your safety belt.
What happened with 9-11 is more like getting a bad concussion in an auto wreck and then never driving or riding in a car again, and blowing up the dealership that sold you the car.
NASA has been handed a nickle and has been asked to build a castle. NASA has not made any significant contributions since Apollo because they have been on an ever tightening budget with ever expanding demand for action. Its amazing that they have managed to hold on for this long. Give them a reasonable budget (50 to 100 billion/year) and we would have a permanent moon/mars colonies, the ability to deflect potentially killer NEOs such as Apophis (1/45000 chance of impact in 2036 with an impact of almost 900 megatons), and quite a bit more in less than 15 years.
Hey... I still drive a manual (though admittedly it is syncromesh), I still hunt, I still fabricate arrow heads. These are largely relegated to hobbies, but some people really do still do these things.
I promise you, the full force of Japanese industry is dedicated to the effort, if for no other reason than they have run out of fetishes involving real women.
No, its one of several odd problems I had to deal with. Ones made difficult by crappy design and otherwise standard features made obscure and difficult to deal with. It needs a command line of obscure crap to enable a javascript error console? Need to refresh a page to reset the connection strings for an applet P2P streaming video server? Every other browser on earth closes the vm and loads a new one when javascript completes configuration and loads the object, not safari. The browser had to be completely shut down and restarted. It wasn't just silverlight either, its just that silverlight was the most frustrating and thus memorable issue I had to deal with.

Space Travel is just like the internet. All you need to do is navigate a bunch of tubes.
Get your facts strait man!
Its like a series of tubes, if you bunch them up, its just like bending a garden-hose.
The pressure from all the bits that cant get through might spring a leak!
Then you would have bits of bits all over the place.
Woosh! Any time one object orbits another they will both be orbiting their mutual center of mass.

A feeder breeder reactor might be a good place for "nuclear waste" AKA "unspent nuclear fuel".
I know, I know, I am a nuclear evangelist.
no, its a hell planet.

I wish, it was a gut shot. It was still twitching after it landed. a .177 ball through the head of a mouse would have completely obliterated its brain.
I don't care what PETA says, any animal that tries to eat me (even if it is only the callouses off my feet) is going to die.

Sorry, I am not feeling optimistic today... :(

Do you have any idea how many billions of tons of aluminum ore the US military has stockpiled in bases all across the US?

I posted before finishing my thoughts, oops.
DRM takes all those rights away.
And at best it only delays Copyright Infringement.
I won't use the term Piracy or Theft because those are well defined crimes that have nothing at all to do with distributing copies of content.
I wouldn't have a problem with DRM...
If it didn't violate the First Sale Doctrine.
If it didn't violate the principal of Fair Use.
If it didn't violate my right to format shift.
If it didn't violate my right to backup my data as many times as I want, in any way that I want.
If it didn't violate my right to use my content on any device I want.

for most transuranic elements, their chemical toxicity is far more lethal than the radiation hazard they possess.

Hard to call them a third world company when they have built their own nukes.
