If this was in Tanzania, they could have gotten out by payment of 47 cows to the victim's family. It's good to see we are so much more civilized in the West.
I speculate that it will be so inexpensive to build things that anyone can and will. Look at all the new innovated products coming out of Asia built by uneducated tee
nagers armed with an arduino, a water pump and a lot of free time/
I remember about ten years ago, there was a story on/. about how some cop suggested putting video cameras in people's houses in order to catch them and everyone was freaking out and that could never happen. In another generation people will be expecting and even wanting this. All watched over by machines of loving grace.
I guess if you don't want to believe in imaginary god, they build a real one.
I know. It's much closer, but when you do the math, lead acid still comes out ahead. There is the problem of maintenance and you have to know what you're doing.
I was an engineer (electrical) for the shuttle for a few years. It is far less hard than most of my other jobs. The technology is old and it's slow (by design and on purpose) and not very challenging by today's complexity standards.
We're just now digging out of the hole from that.
That's my point. The shuttle was a huge windfall for a lot of people, myself included, and people would rather keep the paychecks coming in rather than rock the boat and do anything innovative
Sadly it should be taking less and less big money which is the antithesis of any large organization. With all of the knowledge and know how of the past, why did it take 50 or 60 years for access to space to drop for once?
In the beginning you are building infrastructure, but after that is done, you should be using it for its intended purpose, not as some lifelong gravy train of project contracts.
As an engineer, his book is the only thing worth reading on energy. It's all math which turns most people off because if you disagree with him you have to show why.
Here's a bunch of research on the subject. It's been 20 years since I read it here on/. I think MIT did some research on the subject and found that some hats actually magnify the signal. It's worth reading and one of my all time favorite submissions.

Houses made out of corrugated steel have always existed in Phoenix. Would it be better not to build the high rises?
Just buy another laptop.
I have many. Maybe 1/2 dozen. Most are not allowed on the internet.

I have to wonder WHY
Cultural change begins with right think.

T105 (true deep cycle golf cart batteries) are an even better value @ ~$61/kwh.
A 1.350kwh battery (225Ah x 6v) is $83 from costco for $62/kwh ($83/1.35kwh).

That is for just the panels. Payback is just under 5 when you consider the rest of the system and inverters need replacement about every 10 years.
You can't buy much with a billion dollars other than a business or mega yacht. You can buy an all gold Lambougini, but in the end, it's still a car.
At least they eat their birds which brings down the 10 billion chickens that die every year number.

Pretty sure (HOPE) that was sarcasm.

I can still reach the craigslist personal's section for Canada.
Picard has a red shirt. So did Ricker IIRC.
because Star Trek and Star Trek transporters are fantasy. Something that fewer and fewer people seem to be able to distinguish from reality.
Wasn't a joke. I was trying to point out that it could be some secondary relation like that.
