Interestingly enough, another other reason was the fact you needed a priest to intercede for you with the creator. The idea you could pray directly to God was blasphemy back then.
And I think that is their major objection. Once more, the personal interaction with a priest is no longer needed in the process.
What might be really interesting is if these are immune to Cosmic rays (space exploration application) or EMP.
Even if they are only as fast as current technology, that is a huge leap for space. The tend to use older tech that resists CR damage better or shield the hell out of things
I count myself blessed, my son's autism is as mild as it could be. The only real manifestation is a tendency to not be able to put faces to names, some temporal issues (what happened in what order, almost Yoda like) and auditory processing issues (loud noises,especially voices, disrupt his brain, you can see it in his brain waves)
Other than that, he is bright, witty, and personable. Near total musical recall, but no interest in playing an instrument, he just hums or whistles. We Work hard to socialize him and he is very well behaved even compared to most "normal" kids. Parenting, it works wonders
But some of the other tough cases? Total lack of perception of others, violent outbursts, lack of speech, and more than I care to recount here.
What is so interesting is that most autistics a very smart, but it is limited to certain abilities. Almost as if nature has decided to specialize and not generalize brain functions.
You must be responding to someone else. I was pointing out that the cost of trying to power an electric car via solar is impractical with anything less that 10x cheaper than what we have right now.
Current technology would be ~$60K to set up enough power (and room for 32 to 36 panels) to get you the equiv of 3 gallons of gas during the summer days.
It just does not make sense right now given our power generation options right now.
I don't think that you are going to get the 10x cost ratio you would need to make solar truly affordable.
I have put my money where my mouth is, there is a 3.6kWh rated system on my roof. With all the rebates it just breaks even in 7 years or so, depending on how much electricity costs in the next 7 years. Being in central California, I have the best light you are going to get anywhere, 89% average yearly exposure of prime production sunlight.
It is not a "no brainer", it is a hedge against future power costs. If we get fusion in the next 15 years, I lose that bet.
You have no idea how much solar that is. Even covering my roof, I would be lucky to generate 7kWh during peak summer times. That would give me 2 to 3 gallons of power per day.
Cost to do so? About the same as a 2 new Prius cars.
Compared to copying it to a local drive and reusing the card. The poster I responded to gave the suggestion SD cards are cheap enough to just buy a new one.
In some cases they are, but if you want to do post processing, you want a lossless format, like RAW.
I don't care how cheap it is, when you shoot RAW, it gets full fast.
at 14.5MB per shot, it is just over 1100 shots per 16GB card, and each card for a good class 6 or better is still in the $30 range for the cheapies and $40 to $45 for quality, plus shipping and handling.
That's 3 to 5 cents a shot, not negligible.
Current strategy is a backup via FileHamster to a 1TB drive attached to a neighbors computer. He does the same for me.
None of my photos are any more interesting than what you might on Flickr, and they are certainly PG.
I would also recommend the OP doing in camera editing of his photos. Unless he shot some Video, he likely does not have 16GB of interesting photos. I know if I take 100 photos, half are keepers, 10% are worth showing around.
Then again, he could be a undiscovered photographic genius. Hard to say.
Sony camera's do this real time for still photos on consumer grade electronics (the sub $500 A33 for example) so I am thinking that the same can be done real time for movies.
Some HDR techniques don't require 3 photos, they can extrapolate from a single exposure.
And terrorists never do THAT, they only hit legitimate Military targets while wearing clearly marked uniforms.
Sorry, War is Hell (tm). All the more reason to press harder to end the conflict sooner, less civilians will be harmed that way.
Playing "nice" when the other side does not is a good way to stretch it out indefinitely. Wonder what they would do if we abandonded all our bases and moved into civilian areas only. I doubt they would move out of civilian areas to keep civilians safe.
Oh, and pointing out problems of one side without acknowledging that the other side is a problem is also hypocritical.

China can make a self sustaining moonbase.
They will just keep shipping dissidents up there until an atmosphere forms.
that was the YF-2, a weaponized version of the SR-71. Really, it was a fighter/interceptor, not a bomber.
I used to have a conceptual art poster of it from Lockheed.
It was old footage from Capricorn One.

Not very economical.
Ah... but we will be cleverly disguised as Badgers!
Guess they were just too white and nerdy...

No no no, you build a Ringworld!

Smoking the malt like you would for an isle malt, except with bacon smoke, seems to be the method.
IBM's strategy for patents is not for tech discoveries.
Most of them are for business processes. Totally unenforceable.
So why do they do it? It is the ultimate non-competition agreement.
It really only binds the guys who are on the patent so they don't go to another company and take the business process with them.
I went to a SVUG meeting once and Douglas Engelbart was speaking there during the 90's
I got picked to ask him a question about what the next interface computers might be after the keyboard and mouse.
He was taken aback and answered:
I don't know.
On the bright side, I won a copy of OS/2 for stumping the speaker!

No, more like you and your son rebuilding that Honda CB750 into a cafe racer. =)
