The latest problem is that the first time in any day when I go to Slashdot on my mobile, it yanks me into the App Store whether I wanted to go there or not.
Remember when liberals thought that commuter buses were Good? After all, one bus holds the equivalent of two lane-miles of cars on the highway. It was not so long ago that they were begging the biggest employers in every city to set up employee vanpools and buses. In many places they voted in city subsidies for these buses. So now that their wish has been granted, they're suddenly turning against one of there own most decent ideas?
A part of that luxury, for the protesters, is that cushy featherbed of California welfare benefits. THAT is why they don't leave town for the cheap rentals of Nowhere, MT.
The goal of "Star Wars" was to destroy Communism by raising the cost of nuclear aggression to beyond what the Soviet economy could afford. It did exactly that.
The perennial argument against space exploration, especially by humans, is "There ain't nothin' up there." If a lunar resource scramble did develop, this would put an end to that line of reasoning for good. Of course, such an outcome would be immediately followed by "How arrogant of man to exploit the resources of the precious Environment..." Bite me, McKibben: the Moon has no ecosystem, and no natives for whatever equivalent of the British East India Company we set up to fear exploiting.
You're conflating two totally separate issues: electronic transfers of money and the need (if any) for a new currency. There is already a vast commerce in the digital expression of any currency you want, which exists precisely because of the convenience and low energy cost of virtual transactions. If you want a currency whose supply is relatively fixed, gold has been traded for thousands of years. You can use it for anonymous transactions, and the rate of growth is very slow as new gold becomes increasingly difficult to find.
"The FBI now controls more than 144,000 bitcoins that reside at a bitcoin address that consolidates much of the seized Silk Road bitcoins. Those 144,000 bitcoins are worth close to $100 million"
At the gym early this morning, two Fox News blondes on the bigscreen were discussing that multivitamin report. Blonde A tells about the finding that vitamins don't work, and Blonde B responds haughtily, "...But I don't use chemical vitamins. I buy the natural ones at Whole Foods!"
Yessiree, folks. Gotta get me some of those non-chemical vitamins for my non-chemical body. I hate to think what the other party propaganda network's take on the report might be. THIS is why the Chinese are winning.
Parents screw up PCs primarily by browsing home shopping and casino sites, in the same way that tweeners do with porn and pirate download sites. All of these sites are virus factories just waiting for poor suckers/old fuds to visit them with any version of Windows. If you can spring for that iMac, one of the joys of owning one will be watching all those virus.COM and.EXE files thud uselessly into the OS X Downloads folder, like windfalls of rotten fruit.
MS Office for iPad is Coming Soon. Meanwhile, on a new iPad you get the Apple equivalent (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) no extra charge. Pages, the word processor, accepts DOC/DOCX and operates very similarly to Word, only better.
I would like to see one of these reactors installed at one of the major tech companies between Corvallis and the nearest group of those hippies whose teeth are rotting out because they don't believe in any science whatever, evan the fluoridation that the rest of the country argued through circa 1953. It would make great backup power for a server farm, and the company could still advertise no-GMO soy in the cafeteria.
A few years ago, nobody thought the idea of poor nations skipping wired telephone infrastructure to go directly cellular would work either. This effort may lead to similar surprises.
The fundamental difference even before recycling is that because nuclear fuel is much more contracted as an energy source than any fossil fuel, there is far less waste per unit oif energy produced. Whether we decide to reprocess now or later is purely a matter of economics vs politics: given the low cost of fresh nuclear fuel it would make more economic sense to store spent fuel for a generation or two until reprocessing gets cheaper, but will politicians let us do it?
Especially if desalination of seawater by means ranging from offshore windfields to waste heat from nuclear plants turns out to be a less hazardous source of water than pumping it from under the seabed.

Now to get the technology built into contact lenses so we don't get beaten up all the time.

And furthermore, an organization that gives resentful thugs from postage-stamp satrapies an inordinate amount of power.

In my residential IT practice, I have encountered users - business professionals - who insist on keeping file extensions hidden.
So why is Bitcoin needed, again?
Who knew that Transylvania had its own NSA?

Had you gotten that, um, other popular smartphone, the flashlight function would be built in, right on the popup control panel.

MSE does well except on detecting spyware. Use Malwarebytes for that.
Even Scientology revelations would be most interesting if they detailed Hollywood's involvement with it.
If there were no New York City, we would to import half of our snottiness from Europe.

Do I get a timeshare in Cabo as part of the deal?
The Thirteenth Amendment doesn't apply if you call them "interns."

Ever been to a conference of real estate agents?
