The system is working just as the system wants to work. If you have money, it is kind to you. If you do not have money, it will grind you down and hopefully in the process transfer what little money you do have to the system.
From the depths of my mom's basement, I loose my voice to cry betrayal! that they would have the nerve to inaccurately portray something that hasn't been shown to exist.
I thought this was an Onion article for their biochemical edition when I read the headline. DNA is not a place you want to put your information because DNases are everywhere. Anyone who handles this information medium is loaded up with the enzymes designed specifically to degrade them. The only worse idea would be data storage in RNA or maybe wisps of smoke.
Oh, but we are going to encapsulate them. That should do it. Yeah, go for this storage method that you have to synthesize with a rate millions of times slower that digital, that uses a 4 bit code instead of hexidecimal.
I love reading books written by experts in their field about their field. What I never read are books written by people who think that success in one field gives them magic insight into fields not their own.
The horseless carriage should be abolished. It is a weapon which often plows into crowds of innocent children at the farmers' market at the whim of the driver. My horse would never do that. He would know to stop before hitting a person.
I resolved many years ago that I would never be myself on the net. Several years ago I added to that never to post pictures of my face to the net. I guess the next step is to never go out in public without my randomly-generated mask.
Same with a swamp cooler. You can hang it out of one window and leave other windows in the house closed. Provide a vent on the far end of the air flow path by cracking a door or window. A unit not much larger than a dorm fridge will keep 2000 sq ft or so cool.
You can say the same for a traditional air conditioner. Up in the high desert of the Great Basin, you build a swamp cooler into the ducted HVAC and cool your whole house with a tiny squirrel cage fan. The sound not right in your face.
My anecdotal evidence: I have bought 6 desktop and 5 laptop Macs over the years for myself and children. One laptop gave up the ghost and wouldn't boot after 12 years. None of the other Macs stopped working. I had to discard some which just got left behind by the technology, like my MacPlus and the LC and the G3.
The first one I ever bought was the LC. I picked up the MacPlus at a secondhand store for $5, and it worked for several years before I had to let it go.
I have taken desktops and laptops in for repairs, but these things just won't die.
Zuck announced that Saudia Arabia has demanded that he cut his hand off for stealing the idea of Facebook. China wants him to shoot himself in the head and send them the price of the bullet for monopolizing their national social media. ISIS demanded that he cut his own head off, just because. Thailand is suing him for war crimes for letting their King be ridiculed on Facebook. Alabama is sending sheriff's deputies to arrest him because a state legislature saw the edge of a nipple on some random teenager's profile picture.
This scenario involved flying saucers powered by strings. Bela Lugosi was to have been put in charge of the interim government, but this plan was deemed unworkable when the principal contact with the alien subcontractor concluded that earth people were stupid.
Perhaps people will now be more circumspect in what they put in emails. As Martin Lomasney allegedly said, ""Never write if you can speak; never speak if you can nod; never nod if you can wink."
It took me many years to realize that laziness was the best quality a person could have. A lazy person invented the shovel while the gritty geterdoners were still digging with their hands. A lazy person invented the backhoe when the industrious were busy digging with their shovels. A lazy person invented the automobile when their hard working neighbors were grooming their horses.

More like a thick stack of Fortran punch cards. Minus the rubber band. Usually.
Luckily, my religion requires me to wear a mask in public, and nowadays my profound and sincere religious beliefs trump your silly laws.

I chose to have the implant in my penis so I have permission to whip it out a couple dozen times a day.
I get all my office supplies by stealing them from work.

All he has to do is shadowban all the voters in the other party.
My Lord, I request permission to knock in any door in Boston which my men find latched.

I would really feel more at ease if it were the robots signing this promise.

Someone please tell me something Gates invented other than how to lawyer your way to a billion.
