I know for a fact that theists and creationists are completely bonkers and wrong - but I'm *always* willing to debate the issue.
Except that they don't want to debate. The relevant metaphor is that debating creationists is like playing poker with chimps who think that you win by eating the cards.
When random people I know only slightly and who don't know my skill set are allowed to "endorse" me for knowledge and training they don't know that I have, it makes the whole of LinkedIn worthless to me except as a source of phone numbers. And often those are not even available. It has become Facebook with a clip-on tie.
It is a business school fundamental teaching nowadays that a company better cannibalize its own product before someone else does. In the real world, that almost never happens. It is just too hard for the financial minds in a company to approve any act which jeopardizes current profits.
My experience with telephone companies tells me that their only response upon receiving such an order would be to figure out how to pass along double the costs of it to me and if it ever became public tell me it was an upgrade.
The way capitalism works is demand first, then supply shows up. It can't even be done the other way around.
Sure it can. A process can generate a lot of some material which nobody currently needs. The manufacturer will then go and look for a market which can use this material and try to develop that market.

This robot comes from Planet Clair. A place with pink air, all the trees are red, and no one ever dies. Ah, because they were all robots! Not it makes sense.
A cop with wearable electronics constantly streaming audio and video back to a supervisor (or even a Website) would be less likely, at least in theory, to take liberties with civilians' civil liberties.
If it were for your mom it would be molded into a fist, and programmed to thrust in and out. It will also be colored dark brown and detachable for easy cleaning.
Hah! Fuck, I'm so clever.

No need for the TSA. I checked your wife's panties last night.

No so fast. We sequenced her DNA. She's his sister.
I really REALLY don't want to take my hands off the keyboard to do some stupid-ass gesture.
I felt a great disturbance, as if millions of rotator cuff muscles cried out at once.
Money talks and bullshit walks.
The statistics I read said that I was the Queen of England.

Remember that a hacker won't know which of 5 fingers the owner uses, so that's another layer of security
Use a toe and the NSA won't be able to break in.

Verizon will still think of a way to lower my data cap and raise the price and blame it on the NSA and/or terrorists.

...trying to offer us the web a la carte, like we wanted for cable? The whole web is one big bundle! There's tons of crap I don't want to pay for! :)
That's right! I will get a huge discount in my Comcast bill when I give them the short list of domains I am interested in!
The invisible hand of the free market better be holding a roll of visible cash.
Africa was indeed poised to leapfrog wired networks, but then they had to eat the frog.

The saddest part? You are not far off.

unless you're worried about getting arrested by the NSA/DEA/CSIS/government-agency-of-your-choice.
Wasn't the government supposed to be afraid of me, not the other way around?

Yes, which is why it won't happen.

I view assholes as damage and route around them. It they whine in the process, I don't care.
Until the assholes buy some DC lobbyists.
