Nice try blaming "neocons" for your own Luddism, but it's because the left decided we didn't need space exploration any more and is making the government abandon the field to private industry. Those who put up the money will take the risks now, so let them reap any reward.
In my rural county, some jurors must travel 100 miles each way to Superior Court. Jury quality suffers because so many potential jurors wash out on the economic burden questions, shrinking the pool to a small core of the nearby retired. Allowing jurors to remote in would be a real help. This doesn't have to mean attending from home; if control of the juror's environment becomes a problem, have remote jury rooms at branch libraries and police stations.
The IRS has to watch for two opposing kinds of fraud. It's one thing to conceal income from a business, like those legendary mobster restaurants that keep two sets of books, with the taxman only seeing the money-losing one. IOt's quite another to make a failing business look artificially profitable, using it to 'surface' cash from some shady activity. Paying tax on the fake income is a small price to pay for being able to openly get rich off a legal-looking business, rather than (as in this example) having to bury excess cash out in the desert and having it be hijacked by Nazis.
He hacked the machinery to make it look as though the car wash was handling ten times the number of customers that it actually was. It even printed out fake activity reports for the IRS.
The water higher up would cool the steam at first, but the Earth's internal heat would eventually create a large bubble of superheated steam. Inevitably, some of this would bubble through. Hopefully, not too much at a time.

This is an interesting scenario. First, the amount of water it would take to fill the tunnel up to its center would be enough to slightly lower the water level, easing the flooding problem in places like Venice and Miami. The water near the center would boil, bubbling up through the water higher up in the tunnel to create a steady plume of steam at the surface. This would end up as increased cloud cover and precipitation over large parts of the world.
Let's not be too tough on this AC. Combing viruses and spyware out of Windows will build the characters of these children and prepare them for a business world in which they are issued the cheapest, crappiest office PCs the bean counters will spring for.
I was able to get the EMV version of my Chase Visa a year early because I had a European trip last summer, and needed a payment system that would be acceptable there. Using conventional US credit cards elsewhere in the world is like trying to pay at McDonalds with doubloons.
Which is both less secure and less convenient than resting the top of your iPhone 6 on the NFC logo, authenticating a purchase with your thumbprint, and having the phone send a one-time CC number to the merchant's register.

Don't behead me until your sailors have seen this! A little box, which I carry around with me everywhere, that knows its own position to within mere feet! All I do is press this button, tap right here, and --
It's simpler than that, even. If we see any sort of object beyond LEO that is under acceleration other than what might be observed from random outgassing, it's artificial.
The probability is much greater that, before that roomful of monkeys turns out its first Shakespeare play, it will produce parseable statements in Perl. At that point, anything can happen.
Kids, gather round!

Sure they do. It's why those marches against nuclear power, GMOs, and vaccines are so crammed with Republican men. Just look at the protest signs: "Another father for returning to the Neolithic."
What I want in a smart home is mainly sensors: motion other than the cat, temperature, breaking of glass, and water leaks. Using a smartphone with sensors is good because I need a "remote remote' that I can use to have sensors text me if they detect anything while we're out of the house.

Magnate schools - that might not be a bad idea: if we started training future CEOs in high school, we might end up with better quality executives.

Then I'll be able to pick up major universities for about $1K each.
My very first car wash was cloud-based. Sometimes I miscalculated and it got snowed on instead.

Walmart also uses them. Look under the keypad for the slot where you insert your card.

Large, easily detectable mirrors? Perhaps they're just quietly filling our atmosphere with CO2.

The bad news is, so does Auschwitz. Really, look it up.
