Isn't there a compromise? Can't Apple unlock this individual phone without providing the government a universal backdoor? From what I understand, the county has given them permission to unlock the phone, so we aren't treading on the 4th amendment.
Aerosols fall out of the atmosphere in a couple/three years. United States and other western nations cleaned up in the 70s into the 80s, so aerosols aren't as much of a problem any more. It is becoming a problem in China and other booming industrial nations with no environmental constraints. Eventually they will get a clue, and clean up their act as well... or their boom will end.
That's what Traveling wave reactors (TWR) are... a type of breeder reactor. One issue with those is the liquid sodium. Sodium gets very explodey when mixed with water... as Japan found out with its breeder reactor.
Waste--In theory, LFTRs would produce far less waste along their entire process chain, from ore extraction to nuclear waste storage, than LWRs. A LFTR power plant would generate 4,000 times less mining waste (solids and liquids of similar character to those in uranium mining) and would generate 1,000 to 10,000 times less nuclear waste than an LWR. Additionally, because LFTR burns all of its nuclear fuel, the majority of the waste products (83%) are safe within 10 years, and the remaining waste products (17%) need to be stored in geological isolation for only about 300 years (compared to 10,000 years or more for LWR waste). Additionally, the LFTR can be used to "burn down" waste from an LWR (nearly the entirety of the United States' nuclear waste stockpile) into the standard waste products of an LFTR, so long-term storage of nuclear waste would no longer be needed.
Decommissioning remove the material unused salt for use at other plants. Some contamination may occur, so either reuse on site. Or worst case, crush building and store for 300 years of decontamination. This contamination would be much lower level compared to what is happening at current plants.
Runaway reactions are impossible with LFTR so no Meltdown/china syndrome. The reactor is underground, so it will be terrorist resistant. If a leak happens the molten mix will quickly solidify and not go anywhere (stay out of the groundwater).
We have the technology for much safer and nearly unlimited nuclear power. Only hurdle is how to deploy. What I am talking about is TWR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling_wave_reactor) and LFTR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_reactor). They "burn" waste from current reactors, can be shut-of nearly instantly, no water cooling, and a smaller footprint and cost.
Now we have to overcome this bad publicity provided by the old technology.
A lot of hoping. I use gmail and other google utilities... I am hoping with you.
Power usually leads to corruption. So outside forces will have to keep an eye on Google. I haven't had anything incredibly bad happen to me from using MS products... mainly because they knew that someone was keeping an eye on them.
Google is on the verge of monopolistic powers... already have that in search. Being in control of search is much more scarier to me than in control of PC platforms. If you hate Microsoft, you should also hate/fear Google.
I elaborated in another post... seems to be hidden from most people's view. Human's can't "action plan" multiple things. You have moved the above activities into the background through practice...
I guess I need to elaborate. You can't handle multiple "action planning" tasks simultaneously. Breathing, heart pumping, etc. are background apps, handled by your "lizard" brain.
It is like regular blogging. Most blogs have frivolous posts in them as well. But get that rare someone who is clever or has actual important things to say, Twitter then becomes quite entertaining. Please don't place all Twitter users in the same bucket.
Actually my original post is based on that graphic. The eye will pass about 80 miles SW of New Orleans. Andrew passed 100 miles. With that track, the most New Orleans will face is Cat 1 force winds. I personally would prefer to be out of town during that. But this will not cause nearly the destruction in New Orleans that Katrina did. If Katrina didn't happen, we would be doing a voluntary evacuation, not mandatory.
For Andrew. the sustained winds in New Orleans never reached hurricane strength. It was a good non-evacuation.
For this storm, the current forecast is a 40% chance of hurricane force winds in New Orleans. Levees should be able to sustain a Category 1 hurricane, which is what New Orleans will get.
There is a subtle difference. Andrew made landfall 20 miles WSW of Morgan City. The current track of Gustav is for it to pass right over Morgan City. So that could make a difference for New Orleans. For the record, I was living in Slidell, LA when Andrew hit.
The forecasted track for Gustav is very similar to Andrew (1992). If I recall correctly, no formal evacuation of New Orleans was done for Andrew. Looks like we are having a Katrina induced over-reaction.

It is the future, do you think they may have developed self-cleaning/self-sterilizing displays?

YOU'RE WRONG! ... about there being rational debate.

You don't need a college education, if you follow the 10,000 hour rule.

Google knows way more about you than Microsoft does. They use this info to make their money. Google probably knows more about you than you do.

Multitasking in humans is a myth. You might be able to rapidly switch between tasks, but processing more than one thing simultaneously can't be done.
Sounds like the Xbox 360 slim rumors didn't come to pass.
How about a channel where I just weigh myself. With Wii Fit, you have to go through menu-hell just to perform this simple task.

Nintendo already has released a portable Wii - http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/home-entertainment/a749/?cpg=ab - Strains the eyes a bit, but works fine.
... but with proper humiliation.
If my confidence was high, yes.

Yes you can, but the Wiimote is hard to configure for the PC. The average person can't muddle their way through Glove Pie.
