Use orbiting shades to shade much of Antarctica so that it is dark most of the summer. This should make it cold enough to form CO2 snow, removing CO2 from the atmosphere. It also would increase H2O snow accumulation, but that's ok as it would bury the CO2 and also tend to counteract sea level rise.
Of course they should! Otherwise people will be doing things without permission! Why would you not want "medical apps" to cost $500 and take five years to gain approval? and why stop with medical apps? Surely everything would benefit from proper "oversight"! We can't have people choosing for themselves as if they know what's best for them.
Which decays to a level of activity less than that of the ore still in the ground is about 600 years (and to a level such that the hazard is negligible long before that).
Read the article. There is no "reneging". They've chosen to forgo the tax break, as provided for in the "deal". No company could enter into a contract requiring them to employ 2500 Chicago residents forever.
The article says that if they retain 2500 then they get the tax breaks: if they don't, they don't. They've clearly decided that the extra payroll isn't worth the breaks so they have chosen to give them up. That's the deal. Nothing is being "reneged" on. They are complying with the agreement.
IMHO such deals should not exist, but that's a seperate issue.
It's a radio transmitter, dammit! When you walk around with an operating radio transmitter spraying rf in all directions the people it is bouncing off of have a right to absorb some of it and do with it as they wish. That includes the cops. If you want no one to know where you are don't broadcast your location.
...it would be for "control" of the Internet to be taken away from the evil Americans and given to the saintly UN where rational, tolerant governments such as that of Saudi Arabia have influence?

No, but many others have, and many, many others, including me, have the opportunity to do so. This makes embedding malware in it impractical.

Fortunately, I don't fit your description (and I certainly wouldn't publish my plan on Slashdot in any case).
Now apply that rule to everything you do.
If I didn't the advertisers would be paying money to have ads delivered to me for products that I will never buy.

You have a remarkably high opinion of the average computer user.
This implies that there are about 1.2 million bots worldwide. Seems low.

The authorities won't permit that.

Or that.
> What material can withstand 100,000C ?
None. Fortunately, nothing has to. That's the temperature of the interior of the plasma, not the temperature of the wall.

Actually it's waldos. But it certainly isn't robotics.
They come from nature. That makes them ok. The ones in Japan, on the other hand, come from CHEMICALS!!1!!!

Patents protect inventions, not ideas. Inventions and ideas are not the same thing.

And it lets you reinforce your prejudices and preconceptions without placing you in danger of actually needing to think.

You do still have your copy of the contract, right? What does it actually say?
