According to most things I read online, that day is already here and past. Look at how much/. has become a political and entertainment site vs geek and tech.
I've built things that sold in the 10's of thousands of dollars range and took people years to develop in the 90's that can now be made (often better) by a kid in high school with lunch money. I wonder what the long term affect this has on the economy.
With ~$400, ebay, a laptop and two weekends, you can build every possibly rpi/arduino projects/hardware configration. There are a finite number of environmental parameters that can be measured (temperature, pressure, gasses, voltage, position, etc) and external effectors (voltage, current) are an even smaller set.
It takes very little processing power to control a plane. Possibly counterintuitively, a lot less than driving a car. A 12hz first order control loop should stabilize anything larger than.25m span (due to dynamic response) (smaller models would require a faster control loop, but nothing excessive). 8 bits for either would be sufficient.
no. Read the Federalist Papers for the reasoning behind the second amendment. All objections I've seen to the 2nd amendment are emotional and do not address this rational.
Do you disagree with the data and sources provided and which part? I shows that college education is less expensive now (payback time required) vs any time in at least the past 40 years.
It would be cooler to be able to buy it on amazon and have it delivered to your door the next day, faster and less expensive than you can make it yourself, and have it professionally made looking.
Well, the guy was a respected historian and pent his life studying the subject so probably has more credence than some randm internet guy who judges based on tv viewing.
It's kinda like when there hundreds of climate scientists are given equal weight on tv to some guy who read a book and works in a gas station.
Georgetown historian of Bill Clinton, Carroll Quigley concludes, from a historical study of weapons and political dynamics, that the characteristics of weapons are the main predictor of democracy. Democracy tends to emerge only when the best weapons available are easy for individuals to buy and use. This explains why democracy is so rare in human history.

Or a hat. Or pterodactyl.

I have two. Unfortunately they are not opposable.

I'm sure New Hampshire residents don't care.

So? One of my best friends is a Harvard corporate lawyer for a public utility and hates his job.
Soviet union never had any space spinoffs. That's only a US thing.
This has always confused me also...
I have a piece of duct tape over my laptop camera. May not be disabled, but nobody is seeing miuch.
Well, then the average company goes out of business and we are left with above average companies.
Median cost of 4-year college education in 2012-2013 was $35074. http://nces.ed.gov/FastFacts/d...
This is a five year payback period. http://economix.blogs.nytimes....
This is the lowest it has been for many decades. Guess what else costs more today? Bread.
It is /. as you say... :)

So basically email?
And teaching too from what I was told by a few college professors.

How long do you thin slavery would have lasted in the US had the slaves been able to own guns?
That might be one reason.
