The government controls how many Medallions are in circulation, they put in an artificial ceiling. I predict the same thing happening when the government start managing health care.
In it's current state, I'd use it for standard electronics.
Routers, cable modems, etc. Those are encased in plastic already. Making the plastic thermally conductive instead of drilling holes in it for air circulation could be a huge improvement.
What Americans and right wingers don't get, is that some people prefer a humane society...
There's no such thing. You're simply paying for your "humane society" by enslaving others. You satisfy your conscious by only enslaving the most productive and telling yourself it's for the good of society.
You may be surprised to learn that there's a significant minority of parents that believe that teachers are just babysitters, and that school is just something that the government unnecessarily requires their children to do.
They probably learned that from personal experience.
Bullshit. This is the same lie that's been shoveled down our throats for decades. Give me a date. You should be able to do that right? "Soon" is a scare tactic. 2 years? 3? 10 years from now isn't "Soon". And 20 is so far away it's a joke among scientists and engineers who actually develop stuff.
"Our current way of life isn't sustainable and even less so when you consider that China, India and all the other nations that want to "rise" to our way of living, speeding up the resource use even more."
Stop imagining yourself as humanity's master. People adjust to the reality. If there genuinely is an oil shortage in our near future, we will be forced to adjust.

So it was conservatives that have prevented the building of new power plants due to environmental reasons?
I seriously doubt CA is in a huge financial hole due to Conservatives. Maybe you're just hypersensitive to people who don't think like you.

You haven't heard of it before because that information was filtered.
You can have Freedom or you can have Safety.
If you want Safety, then you're not free to do things that may hurt yourself or others.
If you want Freedom, then you or others *will* be hurt.
I'd like to point out that also this year the rich got poorer and the poor got richer.
And then there's the rich and the poor that stayed about the same.
Anyone care to make a quip that involves statistical significance?
What about cooling air to a liquid state and storing that?
Dear Prof, your class and you suck. The only reason I'm here is because it's a requirement for the university.
If you really wanted us to learn the concepts, you'd hand out the notes and then engage us with theory.
If it's mostly memorization, then I can replace your entire class with a reference book or a calculator.
Screw Med school, I'm going to Placebo school!
I though assembly was CPU specific? What's the point of writing something that's guaranteed to break over time?
They don't have to be similar if your cut/paste approach to them is the same.

Sex is natural, killing other humans is not.
How in the world is killing other humans unnatural?
"...although it won't look pretty or run as fast as it does on multicore servers."
The Nexus One is multicore.
Playing music isn't a solution to their problem at all.
It's like saying "We had a rabid wolf problem in this town, so we caught them and dumped them in another town. Problem solved!"
"...but not so big that people start to be strangled by it."
They always make new laws, and rarely get rid of old laws. The strangulation is inevitable.
Slap a tariff on the cheap electronics until the US is competitive.
When the US citizens keep on demanding more and more benefits from their government, they will never be competitive.
I would assume "Not enough Velocity".
Feel free to put your retirement money into Apple and vote for green initiatives.

Mainframes cost a lot more than 100k, usually a few million.
Clocks.
If Google did it, why would you waste time replicating the work to do it yourself?
Do you look for Hamburgers that are "Just like McDonalds" instead of just going to McDonalds?
Wasn't the opening scene pure CGI? Where he awakes in the pod?
