I recently thought that Virii might be a means for - in place evolution.
In other words - who is to say Virii are anti-evolutionary. Since virii are produced by the living and capable of carrying DNA and implanting it between living orgs.
It seems possible that virii could be used to communicate survival strategies between living orgs in real time rather than over generational time.
By merely surviving and exuding my DNA in the form of Virii, it stands that the population of DNA floating around in the air contains segments of info which belong exclusively to the surviving set, and if I can implement their codes, my chances of surviving are increased - moreover if i can incorporate the codes of my entire tribe into my child, then my offspring will bear the marks of all the living members of my community.
Thus the argument that virii are - hypersexual genetic hints used to inform genetic variation in real time.
evolution requires rather high population growth. Each sucessfull DNA must produce more than 1 self-variants.
As the number approaches 1, the population will be reduced - this can have short term effects with meaningful results - but cannot be sustained, and so must exist in the context of overall positive population growth.
Overgrowth would result in competition for resources - which would lead to war and what passes for political evolution (families - fiefs and jingoists).
death implies failure - without failue there could be no success - and thus no meaningful signal to inform the result. Eveolution without death is merely population growth.
Marxism is a formula for peace (To each according to their needs etc). (Read what the Pope said about marxism - interesting given his role in defeating it.
Education - particularly of the under-priveledged is the single-most effective tool for peace.
If one used compressed hydrogen, then the compressive energy could be captured by a pneumatic engine (read turbine) and the uncompressed hydrogen could then be converted (by combustion of fuel cell) into energy.
Using the double energy of compressed hydrogen would recover the cost of compressing the hydrogen - and improve the energy density of a hydro-system.
Hence - If we were to create Nascar like races which focused on fuel effeciency - ie no refueling allowed) we could actually make progress - instead we focus on Spedd Speed Speed.
Generally, if you're a keyboard monkey - no one cares much about how you look.
A nice appearance on the other hand often means a person can earn more money for less work.
Those "cushy" jobs are generally not worrying about pointer math and proper object destruction.
So "nice looking people" migh be tempted away from computer jobs.
Now consider this:
As long as women WANT to "marry UP" and can get away with it (and who wouldn't) they will always find themselves in relationships which work better if the male is the workaholic.
Consequently Women can trade on their looks - while men more often must trade on their bread-winning.
The picture would change if women were equally predisposed to marry down.
timedomain uwb largely prevents dos. the jammer would need to introduce overwhelming noise at most if not points in time on all frequencies. this inherently problematic and sure to be noticed.
digital radio provides the option of infinite channels consisting of a shared time base, and any psuedo random sequence of signal delays.
with two or three antennas - it would be possible to cancel a rouge source based on spatial diversity
If a cellphone saves a trip to somewhere - say back to the store to get a forgotton item - then energy is quite clearly saved.
Mobile communications are critical in reducing the amount of energy consumed per GDP. FedEx, Construction workers, Employees in large factories - all use mobiles to be more effecient - which inevitably saves energy.
Your Greenpeace instincts are right - your data is wrong.

This is a great nation - no question - we may be great agains - but we have certainly lost our economic prowess by literally picking up our capital equipment and moving it to other countries. This should have been recognized - and policies adjusted sooner.
Both parties are to blame. The Unions because they didn't realize global competition means the jig is up, and the single-issue conservatives for allowing big money to buy their self-interest for 30 sheckles and a song about morality.
I think we need to chooose between "everyone gets mediocrity" - or creating a competative workforce.
If by competative - we mean globally - we'd better find the students with capacity and prepare them to defend this country economically.
It's fine to have a bunch of "Its a hoot to shoot" f*cking morons with guns at the border, but the reality is that the defense of any nation will be economic in nature in this century - much more than ya-hoo marines.

We'd also better find a rather consistent number in every community.
Where I live - (NC) the local school board is considering dropping corporal punishment.
that's physical and emotional punishment without a fair hearing - behind closed doors - with no opportunity to be heard in defense. And we're just now thinking maybe it should go?
Next on the agenda - what to do about lynchings...

4) UWB timedomain
like spread spec, but each "burst" is a simple state change at a pseudorandom point in time.
currently disallowed by the fcc except for spookops

the answer is timedomain
rather than using a sine wave - it uses square waves at predetermined intervals - which intervals are known only to the secure pair.

That's right
Florida is a leader in visual pollution
probably because tourism is such a large component of its economy -- or is it the other way around?

To Make Matters Worse -
I offered a reward for street spam - and when some streetspam was collected - I was promptly arrested on a "Morality Complaint Law" dated 1885.

More than anything else - the problem in the US is that the government doles out services in globally liquid funds.
Stop giving checks - start providing SERVICES. services create jobs and keep the money in town for another turn at the wheel.
Checks go straight to china in the first transaction.
The problem here isn't test scores - it how single issue republican voters have allowed manufactoring to leave the country. - mostly to please china.
Its how the democratic party made a bad bet on Welfare - instead of investing in the poor - it merely bought their vote with cash money.

If you add Yugoslavia as a statistic - nothing would change.
Yugoslavia does not exists.
Slovenia with its capital Ljubljana and seaside Piran is a wonderful place - and I would recomend it as more interesting than most of the US.
As for Croatiam, Bosnia & Herzegovina I can't say - haven't been there.
