No, everyone gets richer. Suddenly there is more gold, silver, and copper available so the price goes down and everyone can have cheaper electrical and electronic devices. Steel and heavy metals become cheaper. The people selling the metals from the new source gain more money than without them, although at a lower price than when the rare metals were more rare. The people building stuff can spend less, but they'll be selling at a lower price because their competitors also have cheaper raw materials. Customers pay less and have more money for other things, or can afford more of the cheaper stuff.
And the heavy metals include fissionables, so electrical power for manufacturing and consumer use also gets cheaper.
"Apart from squash, I can't think of any other earth bound sports that can be easily and quickly adapted to zero gravity."
This adaptation is sort of missing a target, sand traps, water hazards, trees, playable terrain, and the 19th hole. At least the latter is being worked on.
Yes, any slice will be difficult to detect and will take a while to become apparent. As the ball rotates it won't be hitting much air. Monitor the orbit and let us know how much it deviates from a ballistic trajectory.
I'm hoping the swing will be filmed. Hope he strikes it true, rather than having it bounce off the ISS and drift slowly away just out of reach.
Why are you asking us? A Google search based on the term you used, "undersea listening post earthquakes", and someone else's terminology "naval listening post earthquakes" finds several results which indicate it has been used for that. More precise is "SOSUS earthquakes".
"If they are still filling back-orders, how can mediocre sales be an issue?"
I have a great new game console. Want to buy one? If three people want them, but can only build two a month, is my new console the best selling one in the market?
Backorders do not indicate a significant market force.
The sysadmin for sysadmins can remove the routine tasks from the group; their machines will now be backed up and updated for them so they can focus on their other tasks. Their machines will be as similar as possible. When they break their own machine or need something new installed, they can go to lunch while someone else fixes it. And they now have someone else with which to compare notes about their activities and how to apply them to their own machines.
If he's worried about electromagnetic waves he should ban electrical use on campus, magnets, and wave a compass around all steel desks and filing cabinets.. then have them degaussed (someplace else, of course, to keep the evil degaussing waves away).
And, of course, inspect all staff for magic magnetic bracelets and fire those wearing them. Except those working in the school's Department of Magick.
Or maybe you're not aware that light sensitivity was considered a peculiar and irritating characteristic of some semiconductor memory. Not much of a problem inside an opaque case, unless nuclear decay or cosmic rays generate a photon...
In the USA, nuclear "fuel" is used only once. In March 1977 President Jimmy Carter used a Presidential Directive to block the commercial reprocessing of nuclear fuel for plutonium, blocking "breeder reactor" technology. That can change at the stroke of a pen.
If the Earth needs more fissionables there are plenty in metallic asteroids. Or at least a lot more than we already have and probably enough for us to figure out how to power the next million years.
This is the same way Art Bell kept mechanical kooks off his radio show. Anyone who claims to have a perpetual motion machine design is told to send a model. When he gets a toy which runs forever then he'll gladly discuss it.
"Won't there be a problem if they try to operate it inside the atmosphere, or at the bottom of a gravity well?"
You're confusing this real warp drive with fictional hyperspace and warp drives.
Assuming this one is real; this at least is a real design even if it does not work.
No, the old razor company method is to give them the crystals and then sell them the deuterium forever. Of course, you need crystals which will only work properly with your specific brand of deuterium.

Gee, I hope this "Post Comment" form won't send this information someplace.

Well, you might try searching for an answer with a service such as one called "Google". Click on that link for the Google Help Center.
They sort of noticed the tsunami earthquake using existing devices. They didn't have gear to detect that a tsunami was created by that earthquake.

Google search for guidance.

Great, just what I need. I just want to timeshift my viewing, and they want to expand the time it takes to watch the show.
If transparency is so important, why are Microsoft document formats so opaque?

Carter did it for political reasons, not because of any technical problems in using breeder reactors for power.
UV-erasable EPROM is a different thing than the light-sensitive RAM chips.

If we need more fissionables, we can go grab a metallic asteroid. A single one has more metals than we can reach in the Earth's crust.
Right. We all know 658% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Because this Slashdot article is so frequently accepted, just rewrite it a little for "many serial buses" and ask everyone for a serial bus solution.

More crystals! I need more crystals!
