Actually this isn't a bad idea. You would need a print head that shot small amounts of ink at high velocity (like the airgun inoculation devices) causing the ink to penetrate the top layers of the epidermis (this would also be tremendously less painful than standard tatoos.) Also you could use inks that could be easily decomposed by laser light for later removal as desired by the wearer. You would need to stabilize the print head with respect to the skin, some kind of robotic assembly that you wear on the area getting the tattoo perhaps.
You could also make UV tattoos popular, Tattoos that would only be visible under UV light, because a tattoo artist needs to see what he's doing, but a printer has no such limitation. Even exotic tattoos that change color according to skin temperature, blood chemistry. I had a passing thought about epaper for skin, but that's a completely different subject all together.
I'm calling BS. I have black and white family pictures over a hundred years old and they're just fine. I'm seeing color shifting on prints from the 60s (color before that was relatively rare.) Nothing that can't be rescanned and color corrected. Figure digital photography that seriously competes with 35mm film has only been around for what, 10 years and competes with 110 for 15 years, the chances of seeing any real problem with media bit rot is limited. There are now good archival digital media options M-Disc properly stored should be good for decades or centuries.
By the way I also own cibachrome prints (16x20) and on their acid free paper they're rated to last centuries with proper care. So both formats are potentially more robust than you think. I have slides that are in good condition that were shot in the 50s. Most of my slides were shot in the 80s and 90s and they're doing fine with the exception of some home processed e6 slides that faded badly. Store them cool, dry, and dark and they'll surely outlive you.
This actually still up in the air, we still don't understand the galactic halo, distribution of dark matter and why the rotational velocity of the outer galaxy is so fast. So Where the visible matter in a galaxy is, is far less important that where all that other matter is, and what's causing the dwarf galaxies to do what they do has virtually nothing to do with the galactic disk.
Because the dwarf galaxies shouldn't be constrained to the galactic plane any more than globular clusters which are randomly disbursed. This suggests that there my be an unknown process that brings dwarf galaxies to the galaxy's equator... perhaps inflow of intragalactic gas or dark matter.. Makes for a interesting study.
The fact that men and women see the world somewhat differently doesn't mean that either sex is superior (and therefore neither is inferior.) Men are physically stronger than women, yet women shoulder most of the physical labor on the planet (on top of raising children.) Women are still virtual property in many countries and cultures. Even in America, the largest percentage of the poor are single mothers and their children (most abandoned by their husbands/partners.) Add the high occurrence of rape and assault, unfair business practices that underpay and overcharge women for the same jobs and services as men (go to any dry cleaner or look at the price of virtually identical clothing in store and price the difference between men's and women's clothes) and I think its fair to say that inequity today still exists (even acknowledging advances made by women over the last 50 years.)
Its like acknowledging that there's an African American President, doesn't alter the fact that men of color are still profoundly discriminated against in the legal/justice system. Women have made advancement, we've punched a few tiny holes in the glass ceiling (sadly many of the women that made those holes made less than spectacular splashes as CEOs, but then great CEOs are rare even among men so I'm still hopeful.) There is still a long way to go before men can claim that women are overly privileged. A growing number of young women are becoming scientists, engineers and programmers and I can speak from my own experience that girl geeks are alive and well, and I know women scientists and engineers from all fields who are leaders in their fields. I acknowledge that men have advantage in certain kinds of concentration and focus, though women handle big pictures and relationships better (pros and cons of having a bigger corpus collosum), and logical thinking is a learned skill equally available to either sex. The comment regarding women's emotions is simply a cheap shot and has literally no bearing in the intellectual prowess of a person of either sex.
I think the problem boys in this culture are facing, is a veritable vacuum of good male role models and heroes who are scientists or engineers. We have a generation of young men who measure their masculinity against violent video games, Jersey Shore style reality (not) television and Rap Culture. None of this tends to promote higher education or cause a burning yearning to become scientific. Perhaps at a time in history when science will certainly determine all our futures, it might be good time for our society to start teaching our men children how to get to that future and perhaps a dash or two of ethics as well while we're talking about education. Or y'all can just complain when the girls take over in the 2030s, your call.
Its even worse... since gutting the mental health care system in the 80s we now have two places for the majority of mentally ill in this country... prison and the streets. With the continued cutting of fund to the social safety net, it won't be long before those free loaders have to go back home because they won't be able to survive on the street, sadly there are a bunch of chronically poor now who will suffer and have no place left to go.
There are so many people now who have lost jobs, houses, and had their pensions, credit and livelihoods destroyed by Wall Street machinations that I'm certain that a growing part of the homeless must be the bottom of the middle class we've been throwing under the bus. I saw a documentary about a man with three children who live in a small freight truck. Everything they own is in the truck and they all sleep together and use public restrooms to wash up. Those guys at the top of the financial food chain aren't done cleaning out the middle class. They'll just keep diluting the currency and suck larger percentages in, until they own everything, then we'll all just be a financial burden, and it'll be time to thin the herd. I don't look down at panhandlers. I thank gawd for what little I have left and wonder if that's not my future. If its not all our futures.
Actually I think High Colonic Man and his sidekick Projectile Vomiting Boy were the worst, and you have to admit Pinto Man's ability to explode at the slightest tap was rather endearing... let's just say it put a damper on romance.
The point of the letter of the law is that if its a utilitarian device, then its artistic merit does not convey with it the power of copyright. If its art first and not a car, then remove the power train, because there's no need to drive it, its to be appreciated as art pure and simple. If you require the ability to drive it, it is first and foremost a means of transport and an art piece second.
Allowing utilitarian objects the power of copyright opens up a can of worms to any stylistic branding any company or person may choose, no matter how common gumming up the world of utilitarian objects and bringing the world we know to a crashing halt, initially good for lawyers but ultimately bad for everyone.
I would assert that Brad Pitt ripping your testicles from you loins should you ever actually mail any of those letters, renders your potential Jolie babies permanently nonexistent and therefore moot;-)
I used to be worried about "1984"... clearly that wasn't dystopian enough. "Big Brother" today, is a tetraploid circus geek wearing a dirty diaper and a choke collar in the greasy hands of a Corporate Carnival Barker. They don't change the diaper, they just keep shoving more of the Bill of Rights into it to prevent leakage. The stench is ungodly, but Rupert Murdoch had it bottled and sells it to Click-Heads during the FOX Infotainment commercial breaks... and they swear its Chanel No.5. I keep hearing "Karn Evil 9" off the "Brain Salad Surgery" album playing in the background, and think maybe its the anthem for our time. When did we slip into the Bizzaro Universe. We worship a dead 'B' Actor made in the shape of "Howdy Doody" as the model of a modern President and Statesman, and the closest thing we have to a liberal today, is waging wars, gutting the constitution, and can't bring himself to say "Let's legalize pot, tax it, and gut organized crime."
This train is so far off the rails I can't see them anymore. I'm tired. I can't watch millions of idiots doing the poopy dance any more, my headache is reaching critical mass... I think my head may explode.
So here's the chain of events and absolutely, "Right to Work" is an employers right not a workers. In a right to work state, all employees get the same benefits as union employees, without belonging to the union. At first it looks like gravy for the nonunion employees, until everyone has their hand out for union advantages without paying dues. The union goes tits up, and then there is no union and everyone works for Walmart wages and benefits. Employer wins, employees suck gas. "Right to Work" is an employers benefit, and any idiot who can't smell his own ass on the griddle needs to go back to school or get his nose fixed.
There's nothing wrong with brain farting, people do it all the time. Its just important to warn people you're about to blow some bombast, let them get a chance to prepare for the noise and stink.
In short, all you did was regurgitate an uninformed opinion, nothing you said holds water. You could surround a relatively small cylindrical rotating space craft (fewer than 100 people and less than 150,000 kilograms of biomass, assuming human beings represented 5% or less of the total biomass) with a shell about 3-5 meters thick of water mixed with vital mineral salts, to create a perfectly serviceable radiation shield. That same water could be used for drinking as well as hydroponic farming, plant cultivation and algae growth. You could even do salt water aquaculture. This closed environment would support human beings and stock animals (Chickens, rabbits, fish and maybe shellfish) and a rich variety of plant life including edibles and herbs (medicinal, culinary.) Such a closed environment should be designed with enough diversity (from micro to macro biota) to ensure a dynamic ecology capable of responding to the stresses of life off planet. You might also surround the ship with a moderately strong magnetic field to ensure that any cosmic or solar radiation flux was focused away from the living habitat.
Larger human habitats would be by design significantly more diverse. Your "Vessel" would be much larger and instead of water you would be using solid rock and metal to protect the living space for radiation. In fact, the walls of such a ship might be hundreds of meters thick, and radiate would be a non-issue. Such a huge vessel would be created from the deconstruction of a number of different asteroids, chosen for their mix of silicates, metals, mineral salts, volatiles and water ices. Such large ships could accommodate tens of thousands of people with luxurious living spaces. Water features, fresh and salt water aquaculture. Diverse micro-habitats and eco-zones, a tremendous variety of plant and animal life providing abundant food and healthy environmental services. Such ark ships could even support space for other near sentient species (Higher Primates, Dolphins, Parrots and Cephalopods.) We could help other species attain full sentience and become technological species in their own right. We could build entire fleets of these ships send some to the stars and place others around the icy moons of the gas giants, using the icy moons as fuel for fusion reactors. The big planets would sweep our flight paths free of dangerous objects and we'd be far enough from the sun that we'd be safe from any solar mishaps. Face it, the earth is a bull-eye and sooner or later there will be an extinction level event. Its just better that we not be there when they reset the species counter.
Might I suggest hosting the site in third world country without diplomatic ties to the U.S. or any of the countries he lives (or has lived) in. Have the site host the most vile and disgusting human perversions... links to NAMBLA, Neo-Nazi Organizations, Satanic Churches, and perhaps Skat-Play with Enema Porn as a cherry on top. Attack all good and reputable organizations you can think of. In short, make it a festering sore on the ass of the universe. Have the site advertise in papers in his local town. Have a man with a thick accent, call him or email him with a demand for 10 $1,000 checks to close down the site (checks must have "Pay To" left blank.)
Fill checks out to grotesque organizations and institutions and make donations. Send Anonymous letters to local newspapers about the "Monster" living in our midst. When it comes out that he's only getting what he's giving... he'll be a social pariah. He started this, the best he can do is complain that he's getting better than he's giving. Make certain you appoint an MC and never contact them again. You know nothing about this, have nothing to do with this and don't care to be a part of the drama he's created. Of course this could easily escalate into death and dismemberment. Not to mention the bad karma.
A better ploy would be to Create a Nonprofit Organization for the protection of people from Stalkers, Abusers, and Infantile Ex's who seem to be unable to move on with their lives. Use his sites and his attacks as examples of the evil idiocy perpetrated by angry men with small penii, and explain that people being abused by the small minded and even smaller hearted need to stick together and expose the Bozo's publicly. Speak with your Senator about passing a law that prevents this kind of abuse in country and contact the nation he's in to inform them that he's using their infrastructure to perpetrate evil acts half way around the world. Take the high ground. Help people. Show him compassion he doesn't deserve. Send him pictures of you smiling and thank him for inspiring you to create an organization to help women being abused by Idiot Exs. Let him know he's made you a better person, stronger, happier. Thank him. It'll drive him crazy.
Actually the followers are wackos... L. Ron Hubbard was simply winning a bet with he made with Robert Heinlein, that he could write a better religion (Heinlein wrote "Stranger in a strange land" arguably a better religion.) As for Mormonism, the "YOUNG" man who created it was a known charlatan and huckster, and was very well known for telling whoppers for fun and profit, and you have to admit, if you're going to fleece the rubes, get rich and end up convincing a couple dozen girls that God wants them all to sleep with you, well its was all just poking fun.
In the 70s, I was in High School. A friend and I made our own home-made dynamite from nitroglycerin we also made at home mixed with a home-made aluminum based flash powder. We also made fulminate of mercury (I can still remember the strong apple scented cloud generated in its production.) We'd stick 1 oz, loads with a blasting cap (a glass ampule filled with home-made fulminate with a piece of miners fuse), to the top of an Estes 'E' engine rocket motor with fins attached. The things would go up about 250 ft., launch the uber cherry bomb from the parachute charge and in 5 seconds go off with a profoundly satisfying thump.
A neighbor kid bought several from us, and launched them from his back yard. He lit the fuses then ran inside his house to watch them go off where he would be unseen. Unfortunately, a police helicopter chose that moment to come through the neighborhood. Needless to say, the launch proved to be far more exciting than he originally planned. I remember the headaches that came from handling nitroglycerin. Fascinating stuff. Take an eye dropper full. Heat a spoon until it glows. Start dropping nitro on the hot spoon. At first it burns up, but as it cools, it get's to a temperature at which the nitro detonates, and every drop goes with a loud report. Very interesting stuff. Black powder fire crackers... eh.
Of course, anyone trying any of this today would be locked up, and they'd throw away the key... sad.
How do we teach people idiomatic content now. I know there are German phrases that translate into nonsense in English and vice versa, but you can translate the "meaning" of the idiom. The whole point of the new semantic engine being created by Google is that the relationship of words and groups of words will be preserved. When a Doctor yells for Dabigatran in an ER because he thinks his patient is suffering from a nonlocalized DVT, his staff knows what's happening and how to respond. I (a person off the street) can look up Dabigatran and DVT in Google and I instantly know the problem has something to do with a blood clot that's traveled someplace it ought not to be. Another search and I find out the bad news places it could go would be the carotid artery or the pulmonary vein. A semantic network would have all these things related and through the interaction of a human being would be able to provide the necessary information to explain what a sentence means. There are something you can't easily translate from language to another, however you can at least describe the context. I can write something in Common Lisp, that save peeking and poking, you cannot duplicate in Basic. However spoke human languages for the most part have sufficient semantic richness to describe complex ideas. Those languages that lack sufficient complexity can in most cases be easily extended to add new meaning... Look at how much Latin, Greek, German, French and Gaelic there is in English. We add words easily to grow the language. Most languages support this feature.

When a Doctor yells for Dabigatran in an ER because he thinks his patient is suffering from a nonlocalized DVT, his staff knows what's happening and how to respond. I (a person off the street) can look up Dabigatran and DVT in Google and I instantly know the problem has something to do with a blood clot that's traveled someplace it ought not to be. Another search and I find out the bad news places it could go would be the carotid artery or the pulmonary vein. A semantic network would have all these things related and through the interaction of a human being would be able to provide the necessary information to explain what a sentence means. There are something you can't easily translate from language to another, however you can at least describe the context. I can write something in Common Lisp, that save peeking and poking, you cannot duplicate in Basic. However spoke human languages for the most part have sufficient semantic richness to describe complex ideas. Those languages that lack sufficient complexity can in most cases be easily extended to add new meaning... Look at how much Latin, Greek, German, French and Gaelic there is in English. We add words easily to grow the language. Most languages support this feature.
