Most people would hand over the laptop because they believe they must obey the police. Handing over the computer would be construed as giving permission for the search so no warrant would be required.
Every B29 built during WWII had four analog fire control computers. US WWII subs used analog computers to generate torpedo firing solutions. Surface ships used them to direct their guns.
The "tragedy of the commons" does not apply. There is no scarce resource here. The cost to a Free Software developer of one more IT shop installing his software is zero. Since a small fraction do contribute, each additional installation produces, on average, a net positive contribution. There are no "leeches". Everyone is welcome to use the software whether they can contribute or not. The more the merrier.

These metals are found at low concentrations pretty much everywhere. The highest-yielding deposits currently known may be in China but they aren't much better than lower yielding deposits elsewhere. Also, there has not yet been much exploration for them. It is likely that the best deposits have not yet been found.

Was it ever anything else? (I didn't actually get very many, though.)

What law might that be?
While Congress has never enacted legislation formally defining the upper limit of US air space the most common administrative limit is 50 miles (80km). The USA certainly does not claim that its borders extend vertically to infinity. Space is clearly recognized by the US government as international territory.

Not a kernel, no. It might be better to run in a chroot and use the Android libraries, though. Perhaps that is what they are doing.

"IndyCar" rules are at least as restricitve as NASCAR rules. "IndyCars" all have identical powertrains and *governors*.
If you are making three times as many pit stops as the other cars you'd better be three times as fast as they are. Should only take a few seconds to change batteries, though.
Only natural rubber and a few plastics (not the buna-n and neoprene used in engines) are sensitive to ethanol. Most of them (especially natural rubber) are even more sensitive to gasoline. Unanodized aluminum can be a problem with E85.

EAI sold more than 500 of their 1952 16-231R model alone.
Yes, it just might be. In fact, it is. You see, salt water is conductive.

The names of almost all "Web companies" are dorky. "Yahoo"? Someone actually named their business "Yahoo"?

If you send them one I'm sure they'll test it. It appears that Cisco wouldn't.

All of the ones with sufficient political clout.
Unlike the gas buggies, the electric will deliver most that 400hp to the wheels.

Other than lack political clout in France, that is.
