A better idea would be to require that Electoral votes be counted by House District (except for your 2 Senate votes, which should still be counted by popular votes in the state).
That way, subsets of a state could vote against the state as a whole; Austin, TX could vote D, east California could vote R, etc.
This is probably also legally doable by Congress without an amendment; it also keeps the strong-and-broad support the Electoral College requires (which is better than the Strong support a majority-only system requires). It also isn't an invitation to fraud/gamemanship, as TFA's proposal is. (well, gerrymandering would still apply, but that's a separate problem that needs work anyway).
It would also reduce the number of Florida 2000 debacles (since you'd have to be within about 2 EVs of the other guy to need a state-wide recount).
For added bonuse, senators could be done the same way in states with at least 3 districts.
They're not going to vent 2,000L of Helium, per magnet into the ozone, are they?
What does it matter? Other than wasting Helium, their isn't any environmental hazard from venting Helium or Nitrogen. Nitrogen's just air, after all and Helium's almost totally inert.
About the only danger I can think of is that if 2000L of Liquid Helium (or Nitrogen) is that anything it falls on is going to flash-freeze. Given that it's over water, you could just sell'em as fishsticks, I guess.
IIRC, any one DVI connector can actually transmit two TDMS signals (which is necessary for this many pixels). So the reference in the article doesn't mean that it has two DVI connectors.
Of course, you're probably right about it being a special video card--I don't know of any that output dual TDMS signals.
3840x2400? Huzzah! But who makes a video card that pumps out that many pixels, anyway? I tried to look, but none of the cards I could find could even approach that (most were doing good to hit 1920x1200, or just 1/4 that much!)
Does anyone know of any cards that put out 3840x2400 on DVI?
The British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking fears that mankind will not survive a " further millenium ". In a lecture in Edinburgh explained Hawking, either a " accident or the ground electrode warming " would extinguish the life on earth. Mankind can outlive only if it settles on another planet, let the almost completely gelaehmte scientist its listeners with the conception of its new book " The of university verses in a groove-brightly " know. The scientist suffers from the paralysis illness Amyotrophe Lateralsklerose (WHEN) and can inform itself only by language computers.
" I fear that the atmosphere becomes ever hotter, and that it becomes, meant like Venus bubbling sulfuric acid " Hawking. " I make myself concerns around the greenhouse effect. " Mankind can survive a further millenium only if it spreads into " space. " Without the " Kolonialisierung " of other planets mankind of becoming extinct is threatened.
Major task of the theoretical physics 21. Century is it to offer to mankind a continuous theory about the happening in the universe. " we believe, we the end pieces of a complete and uniform theory found, but in the center still much is to fill out ", said Hawking. (dpa) (jk/c't)

Wow, they just caught on to this? Drew's had time to prove the point, write a book about it, and make a big wad of cash off it!
Rumors that he blew all the money on Heineken, Maker's Mark and hookers should be considered spurious, however.

What about power? Sure, nano machines could make gasoline for you, if you had wads of power to make it with.
In other words, the laws of Thermodynamics haven't been repealed. You'll still have to plug into something to make it all go...
Nano-magic doesn't get you away from scarce resources, just moves a lot of things out of the scarce column.
The things that will stay in the scarce column:
Energy.
Land.
Intellect.
There are probably others, but I can't think of them right now.
