That's not entirely true. The Daystar Genesis MP was a clone that had up to 4 604e's on a daughtercard. Of course, being a 604e-based machine, it's only capable of OS 10.1 or 10.2 at best and likely can't run the latest CHUD tools. On top of that, I think Apple under Jobs has collectively forgotten the clones anyway.
When did this come out? I've been waiting for years! Does Sarah Michelle Gellar get to wear a skintight spandex tunic? Oh, and since it's in the future and all, are they planning a crossover with "Jason X?"
I honestly think it would be hilarious to have a ridiculously long movie filled with panning shots and voiceovers. Delete the Guide sequences, manufacture some suitably detailed visuals, and get a sufficiently British VA to read DA's diatribes verbatim.
I bet I'm about the only one who would find it funny, though.
Where I live (60 miles east of SF, essentially a hicksville with suburbia tacked on), 500k+ is a reasonably-sized house with no yardspace whatsoever. Some days, I hate California.
The way I get it, it's a zero-emissions fuel in that it's a closed carbon cycle. The CO2 from burning the plant or plant derivative will be consumed and used by another plant. This is assuming that no petroleum-based fertilizers, pesticides, etc. are used, which would release additional carbon byproducts that were locked beneath the ground before.
In the future, the license plates were a barcode, with the license number minimized to the top or bottom, I forget which. It was made out of a reflective material, so God knows how that would work.
It would be foolish to deploy this and this alone. I'd be pretty pissed if they spent taxpayer money on this plan and then didn't collect physical verification when it was readily available.
Of course, we're talking about the government of one of the largest states in the union here. Stranger things have happened.
This is likely beyond current technology and biology, since according to my understanding work on the human proteome has only just begun, but what if a group of molecular biologists were to get together and fill in the gaps? For instance, once we understand the way that bone structure is encoded, they would deduce that such a massive creature would need a particular density of bone, etc.
Arguably the resultant creature would not be a Tyrannosaurus rex as it existed 65 million years ago, but it might be the world's greatest biological hack.
Why on earth you would ever want to put a video clip into a word processor document? Isn't the point of a word processor document that you might want to print it out?
I remember that GM tried something similar to Displacement on Demand with Cadillacs in the 70s. It was widely considered a disaster.
With modern fuel injection technology, though, I would think it could be done a lot better. Plus, most of those SUVs you see don't need... well really, risking flamebait, don't need to exist in the first place; but if they do, they don't need full power unless they're towing a load. So this could turn out to be a highly effective technology. Likely useless on standard passenger cars tho.
Parent is politically incorrect.

Sir, your post demonstrates a highly regrettable cultural intolerance towards werewolves.
You assume by default that the government needs to deal with them. To consider your example, I would think that airlines would have a significant financial interestin keeping airplanes from crashing into each other.
Government also tends to define problems that aren't as big as they make them out to be, or grossly overreact when it benefits politicians to do so. The "War on Drugs." The "War on Terror." Campaign finance reform. Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl. Prohibition. The list keeps going, and none of them would be so onerous if the government did not have an absolute monopoly on the use of force. You would likely argue that this monopoly on force is bestowed by the people, but canny manipulations of the political system make this a logical impossibility.
Far too many were awful, sadly. Elite Force and Elite Force II were the only good recent releases. They were both based on the Quake 3 engine, if that tells you anything. (EF2 may have been the last commercial game based on Q3... it was one of the last anyway.)
Before that, DS9: The Fallen (based on Unreal) and the Academy games are the only ones that stand out in my memory. My personal favorite is EGA Trek, a graphical DOS clone of the trek game that ships with all BSDs. It used Mongols and Vandals rather than Klingons and Romulans, but it's still a fun game to play.

Please do not post any further comments referring to "butt apples." The GNAA was bad enough.

We are here to protect you... from the terrible secret of space.
Do you have stairs in your house?
Those with a puritanical bent can pretend that the parent poster actually typed "Kate Botello."
It's not that we don't have any, it's that we're too lazy to come up with any.

He's behind Enterprise, too! That son of a bitch!

This is one of the best, most easily visualized explanations of time dilation that I've read. Mad props.

7.5) Everybody involved shoots Rick Berman out of a cannon and sells tickets.
Especially if any real Klingons are encountered.
They renamed Screen Savers to "Attack of the Show." Now seriously, what kind of stupid name is that? How could you watch that and take it seriously?

I suggest that you educate yourself about our lupine brothers and sisters.
Step 1) Release KDE 3.4
Step 2) ???
Step 3) Profit!
(Also, I am obligated to add Step 2.5: Fire Rick Berman out of a cannon and sell tickets!)

Just figured out how to bring back Enterprise for a 5th season.
Well, it can't possibly suck MORE, can it?!
