Nope, money loses value during periods of inflaction. Thats what it is, so had you bought something that retained value lets say gold for instance with that 20 in 1970, then turned around and sold it today, it would be worth atleast 100 dollars. (Obviously gold doesn't say completly steady, its value has been going up latly I believe).
Thing is if you add security you would have to add some type of password auth, which of course most customers would have trouble with the simplist kind of auth and return the product or harrass customer support. Apparently the auth in this would be limited to a numeric password printed on the headset box that would have to be entered into the connecting device the first time it communicated.
Good point, I was just stating that sometimes a compromise is nessesary, weither you want one or not. Personally I feel there is no compromise to be had when it comes to extending already existing outragous protections. But possibly some compromise could be made on a world scale. Lets say we strickly enforce copyright in the countries that have no enforcement now. But we reduce all copyright to 10 years. Wonder if the media companies that are losing a lot of money in asia and russia, would consider this a good deal? Yes I know patents are a different story, just an example.
Actually you can get their advertised speeds as their equipment uses several channels at one and combines them. Problem is this assumes noone else is using those channels for their own wireless around you. This is unlikly in most urban environments.
I googled but couldn't find any exact figured. Still looks as though it can't produce enough thrust to get from earth to space. Though its a great intraspace propulsion system.
and start thinking about more fundamental engines built around magnetic/gravity principles.
Umm this is called science fiction. To us not tin-foil hat wearers there may be many means of travel in space (solar sails, ion trusters etc) but to get from earth to space atleast until we get the elevator, means rockets.
He may be refering to increases in bandwidth and computing power lessening the need for local storage and memory.. think thin client but over a much longer distance. Defainatly possible given enough bandwidth.
Well historically Republicans have been for personal freedom and economic freedom. It isn't until recently that the neo-con branch has really taken control. It always seemed to me as though abortion was really the issue that drove this initial wedge. As most Republicans free loving and not were against abortion on freedom of the fetus grounds. While the average Republican gave up the fight against abortion around the mid 90's realizing that it had pretty much become defacto law as well as a personal choice dispite its problems. Radical conservatives continued with the issue and expanded into many other moral issues, driving a wedge in the party and forcing themselfs into leadership. Most right of center people, me included no longer consider themselves belonging to the Republican party because of this, though they still generally vote Republican in most elections.
Terra Server was slow and difficult to use. What google really innovated was the sliding tile system that was a true stroke of genius. Microsoft totally ripped it off. And personally I don't blame them it is a good idea, and not patented.. amazingly.
Definatly not free energy. Remember you can get energy out of combining oxygen and hydrogen, thefor it must take atleast that much energy to seperate them. The bateria non withstanding require that energy. As stated in the link they get their energy from the sun. So essentially this is a form of solar energy. So the cost calculations need to be in the form of percentage conversions minus what the bateria itself needs to survive, and cost of building a large enough container to collect sunlight. (And your other factors of course).
If it can beat out existing solar energy I'm all for it, but I doubt it.
HAHHAHA.. HAHA. HAHHA When in this history of advertising has this ever been true. I one heard a guy say that people will stay away from companies that solicit through spam in droves. HAHAA!!
Yea the one I used to play was tiny tim MUSH it was a talker, as in no RPG elements to it. Though it was also completly programmable, and potentially some could create RPG elements. The only violence I saw was a laser tag game someone programed:)
The point is, even if the technology exist expecting a person to attack their own citizenry is tough. Sure its definatly possible in many dictatorships where people are used to such things. But this simply makes it easier, it doesn't remove any of the decision making facilities of couse.
Hell I used to regular a MUSH, now thats a weird experience. Everything is completly programmable (atleast your own stuff and your own rooms) to the end user. Its freakish.
Generally university research funding comes from private or government sponsors who want something researched. There is very little University money in researh that doesn't make money.
Overeating causes obesity, Heart attacks, and many other ailments. And cookie monster may be on the way out in Sesame Street but he isn't AO.
The point is consensual acts that harm ones self aren't necessarily bad, though one should be properly educated in what these harms are. Sheltering from the facts just leads them to be more tempting.

Well lets say that these companies have a rational decision for wanting ip patents, and that they truly believe they have a right to such.
"You beat my sister, I want to kill you"
then
"How bout you just break my kneecaps" seems like a fairly good comprimise.

the count..
1 lighter
2 its so damn big
3 make it solid brick
4 not a light glider that gets blown around
5 make it durable.
Ok so we should make it lighter, smaller, stronger, heavier, more durable.
???
I don't know who should get a +1 funny more, you are parent. Or does parent need a -1 troll?

Of course and encrypted tar will provide this reliability.

Thank you. Exactly what I've been thinking the whole time and not been able to put in such sarcastic words!.
Someone mod this up!
