Cant' we have both? Robots who help repair reactors while dancing and expressing their scorn for their creators on articulate faces? Would we send a robot who looked like an innocent child into a deadly (damaging?) situation?
As I understand it... it's not up to you. The medical system has standards for such things and they won't accept an organ from a person after they are so old because of a much higher risk of the transplant failing.
Would you want the organs of an old person? Yea.. I wouldn't either and neither does anyone else. There is no market for the organs of old people. You might be able to make a case for skin.. but even then I'm not sure. They won't even take your bone marrow if you are over 55.
"And actually, I have trouble trying to figure out how we'd spend so much money. In order to get to $2.5 billion, I'd have to assume that a whole bunch of things go horribly wrong during the development process."
First rule in government spending.. why build one when you can build two for twice the price? The second one can be kept secret...
If you think electric heat is expensive just wait until you start charging an EV every night...
http://jaredwatkins.com/wordpress/?p=284 Considering the design intent behind the Volt.. operating costs are actually quite a bit cheaper if you use it for daily commuting.
Ah.. recalling that moment never gets old. Truly one of the funniest bits I can remember from TV of that age. Of course thinking of this show raises the question... do you go for Jennifer or Bailey? For me it's Bailey all the way.
If you have a rapid depressurization in space I think you have bigger problems. If bubble wrap is a issue.. use corrugated plastic cardboard strips and cling wrap. Do I have to think of everything??
So you keep it pressurized until it can be unwrapped. Why is that so hard? Also.. how would the little bubbles breaking tear the robot apart exactly? It's still just a plastic sheet.
Yea I was thinking the same thing... and lets look at that box too. No wonder everything they do costs so much. Just put some bubble wrap and cling film around it and you should be good to go.
if you can not get it back down to earth undamaged so you can re-sell it, it might be worth a little up in orbit to those that can get to it, but it is more of an expense than an equity.
Unless of course you are looking for real estate in space. Existing home beats new construction every day of the week.
I've often thought that the best answer for long EV trips would be a rentable towable generator.. or perhaps make one that can attach to the car as a module so you don't have to tow it. These could be interchangeable.. gas stations could rent them out.
Alternatively, you should never be driving the car at more than 70 mph as it is illegal to do so.
Oh yeah? Here in Arizona the interstates are 75mph. In parts of Texas it's 80mph.
I can understand the confusion... let me explain. Texas is a red state... and seeing how this is a product of Obama motors I doubt it will even function in texas nevermind be allowed to exceed the pre determined max speed. You may note that Texas was recently denied disaster funds for the areas affected by the hurricane... same reason. Maybe next time those texans will vote the right way.
Yes earthlink is still alive.. and when time warner rolls out consumption based billing (as they are doing right now) you will probably end up a customer of earthlink since by paying them for the same internet service over cable.. you can avoid the extra charges that cbb will cost you.
Imagine if 90% of your 401K was also kept in your company's stock... think Enron's employees... that's what China is potentially setting itself up for by buying so much debt from their biggest trading partner and the largest economy in the world.
Put another way... If you can't pay the bank back on a 200k mortgage you have a problem. If you can't pay the bank back on a trillion dollar loan the bank has a problem. In this case.. China is the bank.
...what's to prevent us from then just building a new one requiring more technical acumen to get to, putting them back at square one. It's a minor setback for us, but really, where is the horror?

Duh!

I believe what we are seeing play out here is the origin story for godzilla...
Exactly... how does this stuff taste I wonder?

Tea. Earl grey. Hot.
Look, all I want is an honest week's pay for an honest day's work. Is that so much to ask?
Oh so you want a union job...
It's too bad they didn't have a water powered car... it would be going like crazy.. if not for all the flooding.

100 people to pack a box?

Anyone else initially assume it was about the band, Tesla?
Anyone else initially assumed it was about Nikola Tesla?
Anyone else initially assume it was about some giant electro-magnet with an agent?
with a significantly larger kinetic energy than the LHC's beams
So... are we going to be colliding trains here then? I don't think I'll be getting a ticket for that route...

This merger is the best idea to come out of tech since AOL/Timewarner!

Money.
Hey you like money too? We should hang out!
