Just had another thought. Suppose you had supercaps in you vehicle that gave you a range a 5 miles (pathetic of course, you would need other power source too). Now, put charging strips in the roads, say every 2 miles that top of the supercaps in about 1 second -- this would reduce the infrastructure cost of the strips by quite a bit, though the recharge rates would be really high.
There was a recent news items article for Lithium-Sulfur batteries with 4 times the capacity of todays. There is also evidence suggesting batteries with 10 times current capacities may be viable.
Battery tech appears poised for a breakthrough that could be game changing for lots of transportation use. Given the rules of chemistry, this would be the last possible break-through for batteries (only so-much energy in chemical bonds).
I like supercaps too, especially if you can built them from carbon instead of lithium -- though the voltage drop-off issue is a significant limitation.
Adding rails to all of our roads seems like an expensive refit, though potentially adding to interstates and other high-volume roads might be economically justifiable -- I guess LENR cars would be even better.
Power lines are not favored by lots of environmentalists either -- they are concerned about the increased risks of cancer that they claim result from living next to power lines. If you really want to make extreme environmentalists happy, you need to kill off most people. Me, I prefer nukes as a "sure-bet", but if we waste fuel in light water water reactors without reprocessing, there is not enough uranium to power the world for a little more than 200 years at current usage rates. To make uranium last a long time, you need breeder reactors -- a technology that has yet to be proven to be safe and realiable (at least as far as I am concerned).
Thermal breeders (as opposed to fast breeders) would require a thorium fuel cycle because the number of neutrons produced per fission are less than or barely over 2 for the other potentially viable fertile/fissile isotopes.
Ah, but you miss the importance of making it a critical app -- The boss won't demand you remove it -- thus assuring the opportunity for getting admin experience.
In this case, the "critical tools" are Obama, Eric Holder, or who-ever is behind this large-scale invasion of privacy. I know plenty of people (mostly liberals) complained when the warrant-less wiretaps happened under Bush. It appears that these are considerably larger in scope.
Sure it is. Scientific explanations are a priori naturalistic. Supernatural explanations are forbidden. What else can science produce. If God, Buddha, or a certain noodly being is responsible, it is not science.
Scientistics typically believe the science can explain everything, it certainly seems to be the best (most accurate and most useful) explanation for a very large number of observable phenomena.
This does not guarantee that it true for any phenomenon though. God could be actively moving atoms, sending photons, etc. continually just so it appears to follow natural laws. Everything could be a Matrix simulation, etc. This is the realm of philosophy, not science. Science is a useful tool even if God is prime mover of every phenomenon because it allows you to make predictions that actually match observable phenomena. Not so much for something in the non-historical past, but certainly for pretty much everything that is observable today.
Unless -- science discovers something in "the natural world" that is indisputably "unnatural" -- thus breaking the scientific presumption of natural causes. What would be proof?, say a sequence of bits in pi that contains perfect unicode copies of the Bible in the 100 most popular translations followed by of the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek text (and clearly labeled as such) guarded by a billion zeroes on each side beginning exactly at 2**666 bits should suffice for any honest scientist. A far more likely "unnatural sequence" was "accepted as proof" by Carl Sagan in his novel, Contact - but I don't recall the details of his example. BTW, if the Bible is to be believed, no such proof will ever be provided by God as that which is proven is not a faith and faith will not become knowledge before the 2nd coming of Christ (Romans 13, somewhat long explanation though).
Interestingly, with infinite bits of pi this sequence is certain to exist an infinite number of times (since pi in transcendental). Infinity is not just a really big number, it is so much more.
They linux kernel does not really offer much of interest to MS. Their NT kernel provides all of the kernel services MS needs, and does it reliably (NT problems are very rarely kernel problems) and is compatible with their existing NT software base. Switching kernels would be an expensive switch not only for MS, but for other software that makes direct kernel calls (relatively rare for windows apps).
You don't get liquid CO2 without quite a bit of pressure, a minimum of 75 psi / 517 kPa (5.1 atmospheres) at the triple point for CO2. Not near enough CO2 for those kind of pressures on Mars.
Computer club is not interesting because the computing is not magic (movie computers) and involves hard work. Considering that kid's attention spans are about that of an average hamster these days, it is not surprising that the students don't care about computer club. Better to cater to the 4 that actually care that worry about the masses that do not care.
Is it not possible that some things are over-regulated, while others are under-regulated. Not only is it possible, it is virtually certain even if you have the utopian ideal of all regulators trying their absolute best to do it well. Given that regulators are people, we are certainly in worse shape than that.
I also remember doing Arc-net and g-net networks, as well as 4 & 16 MBit token ring. When the PS/2 came out, we were paying $895 for 16 MBit token ring cards. Sometimes the good old days were actually the bad old days.
Total solar energy hitting earth per year is about 274 million gigawatt-years. Now, assuming a mere 1GW per person and you have 7 billion gigawatt hours (and 100% electric conversion efficiency), so year, the earth is going to heat up by quite a bit. Given that radiation is a 4th power function and assuming 300C for avg temperature. 300 * x**4 = (7.274/.274) and x is just almost 2.27 so the new avg temp would be about 2.27 * 300C = 680C -- I think this would be a problem, Even Al Gore was not expecting that kind of temperature rise.
It was programmable, you could create document processing rules and do "business processing" of the documents. If you were not doing this, you just wasted a lot of effort / money with a product that was inferior in terms of ease of use. But, if you used the programmable features, you gained significant value.
When MS released its office bundle that included Excel, and Word for less than the price of either 1-2-3 or WordPerfect, it was the beginning of the end for those products -- the MS office was "good enough" for most users and the price was a real factor when you were buying for a corporation.
You understand that corporations don't pay taxes, people do. Either in the form of higher prices on products, reduced income from investments or a combination of these. Government like corporate taxes since this obscures the tax burden from the voters and the popular politics of envy.
All taxes are evil, but they are a necessary evil in that governments do things that make life better (provide for the common defense, establish courts, etc.). However, it is very common for governments to overspend (i.e., in things not for the common good) and likewise overtax. Overtax and over regulation results in reduced liberty and economic growth, under tax and regulate and you have reduced liberty and economic growth as well.
So, while I expect Apple to minimize their tax burden legally it is not fair. What would be so terrible about replacing the tax system with something simple and fair so that the little company does not pay higher rates than large companies that can afford complex tax schemes, etc. My company pays rates much higher than Apple, Google, etc. because I can't play their games.
On one occasion, some reporters asked Johnson in an off-the-record gathering to explain America's participation in Vietnam. There was no satisfactory answer to that question in LBJ's brain, so he unzipped, revealed his not-so private member, and stated: "This is why!" Like other presidents before and since, Johnson found that his libidinous behaviour could be a cause of political weakness.
I have bad eyes, I wore glasses from age 10 to 18. I wear contacts now. Why? Comfort and convenience.
Contacts don't get require cleaning multiple times per day, they don't fog or frost over when you come in from the cold, don't get broken when playing sports, don't make your ears and nose sort from rubbing (even when properly fitted due to heavy lenses), don't have a limited field of vision. Looking nerdy is way down on the list of why not to wear glasses. Other people don't find the benefits of contacts / lasik surgery compelling for a variety of reasons and so continue to wear glasses.
Some glasses are even considered attractive -- think Sarah Palin's famous glasses.
However, if Google glasses provide a substantial benefit to users, they will wear them (just like corrective lenses) regardless of what other's think.
Well, for one thing, it is anonymous by design. Secondly, it is not tied to a bank account, so you could afford to lose this and your bank account would still be safe. Sounds good to me.
Devil is in the details, i.e., not allowing unathorized mods to the balance contained within the card, making sure debits and credits against the card work every time.

I also see no criminal intent aka "mens rea". Without criminal intent, there is no crime (excludes strict liability or crimes of negligence).

Install some critical app (without permission if necessary) on your current corp. network that uses SQL server -- Presto, instant experience.

Ahem. Nixon did not do everything that LBJ did.

In general, LBJ was quite proud of his endowment.
