So somehow super pacs have more rights then the candidates themselves? Seriously the whole idea that corporations have rights goes against the whole idea of rights. A corporation is the creation of the government (corporate charters and all that), the government does not have the power to bestow rights. Our government does not grant rights it recognizes them.
A long time? No banned from federal service for life.
And yeah no consequences from that at all:
"the FAA was faced with the task of hiring and training enough controllers to replace those that had been fired, a hard problem to fix as, at the time, it took three years in normal conditions to train a new controller.They were replaced initially with nonparticipating controllers, supervisors, staff personnel, some nonrated personnel, and in some cases by controllers transferred temporarily from other facilities. Some military controllers were also used until replacements could be trained. The FAA had initially claimed that staffing levels would be restored within two years; however, it would take closer to ten years before the overall staffing levels returned to normal."
You mean California allowed single occupant vehicles in the HOV lane. It was never the case that only certain models could use the HOV lanes if they had passengers. The fact that the techno douches in SV all got Priuses so they wouldn't have to carpool kind of ruined the reason for the law. Priuses are hardly the most efficient car out there.
Except what right does Google have to profit off of the author's work? That is the question, this obviously goes beyond fair use as Google is using the scans commercially.
So basically we would be sending a kinetic missile at Alpha Centauri. Hopefully it is uninhabited. Say it weighs around 5 kilos, what kind of impact would it have at say 20% the speed of light?
Which I am pretty sure they were thinking about since they say they can reduce travel time to 20 years. They probably are planning on it reaching a significant fraction of c. What happens when it slams into an inhabited planet a relativistic speeds? Next thing you know we have accidentally caused an intergalactic war.
I am not sure a nano probe is going to have the energy requirements to send a message 40 trillion km back to earth. What happens when some unforeseen event knocks it off of the beam path (say it passes by something massive enough to gravitationally alter its trajectory)? Would we know, or would we keep shining that laser at Alpha Centauri for 20 years?
Well if they did disconnect their users, and then got sued by said user, they would have an interesting time in court explaining how they have punished a user based on hearsay. Corporations do not get to work outside the law. If you have a dispute it should be handled by the courts, not by some third party with a grudge.
And hence the reason, during one of our governments more reasonable times we made that kind of discrimination illegal. And if you are claiming that there is not massive discrimination in this country anymore then you are extremely naive or racist as fuck.

This one is basically a small android computer with a big display, they even dropped the tuner.

Funny I was just looking up the CSX. that thing was ridiculous. I agree on the Unimog.

I beg to differ, as the Constitution specifically mentions the general welfare of the nation in the same clause as defense.
To me it was never about "classified" documents that may have passed across her sever, but the possible violation of the Federal Records Act of 2009.

Who wants to do the math?
The asteroid belt is still relatively empty, I mean if you flew through it you would most likely never see an asteroid.
None of those probes are doing a substantial fraction of c though.
That's no moon.
Build it on the far side of the moon. Since the moon is tidally locked it could never face the Earth.
Unless we are correct and the speed of light is actually the universal speed limit.
Umm, not that much effort. I can smack my couch and see a beam because of the dust. I may need a cleaning lady though.
A stationary piece of dust weighing 1 gram is not dust, that's a pebble. What happens to the poor planet it impacts at those speeds.
Its propulsion will come from a laser back in our solar system, it would not be able to alter it's course in any way.
Unless you use the propulsion laser as communication (earth to device obviously).

Since its propulsion source would be a laser somewhere in our solar system I am not sure that's feasible.

you don't have many friends do you? http://www.sfgate.com/news/art...
No, but launching a probe that has no way of communicating back to earth is a monumental waste of resources.
