I do think there is some Fed overreach in controlling for example "illicit" drugs, who the fudge is the Federal Gov't to tell me what I can and can't put in my body.
Because it's not OK for you to get high as a kite, or drunk as a skunk, and get behind the wheel of a car and kill a family. Your freedoms don't extend to involuntary manslaughter.
Good grief, Americans spend ~35 boullion dollars on health care products annually, and Europeans still think we're "dirty"? Have you even BEEN to London lately?
I hate that too! It seems like I'm deleting the Acrobat Reader icon and shortcut every other day. I've submitted a bug report to Adobe three times already about that.
You imply the methane is stinky; on the contrary, methane is odorless. The only reason you can smell natural gas (from your stove and whatnot) is because the utility companies put odorants in it. (one of which naturally occurs human mouths, helping to cause halitosis)
It is possible to harvest methane for storage and later consumption as an energy source.
You can expedite (and deodorize) decomposition by turning it from anaerobic into aerobic by mechanically churning the mass. Unfortunately, that greatly complicates the methane collection, if you were also going to do that.:-\
One of the main hindrances (the primary hindrance?) to adopting widespread flying cars or other airborne vehicles is safety, and helping to keep people from killing themselves in spectacularly Youtube-worthy ways. The development of an advanced "airbag" like this will really help accelerate the dawn of "highways in the sky", IMO. (Disclaimer: I work for NASA, albeit as an IT geek)
I don't know where they're getting their numbers, but based on data I've been collecting for the past 5 years, theirs are way off. A 14 TB drive for $40 in 2020? My data says by 2020, $40 will buy you 342 TB.

In other words, roughly the amount of a single year's-worth of trade deficit between the US and China.

Just f*ck off.
Wow. Your powers of rhetoric are stunning. I had better believe everything you say if I know what's good for me.
My first game system was a Coleco Telstar.
By the hoary hosts of Hoggoth, I've been around a long time, but my obscure nostalgia maxes out at the Vectrex. I've never even heard of the Telstar.
That may be the point.
Was it infinitely improbable that it would also have a heart of gold?
As long as they'll be able to learn that a phalanx can defeat a battleship, it will be all right.
Lamp oil? Rope? Bombs? Iris scans? It's yours, my friend... as long as you've got 150 billion rupees!
If approved and enforced, this would probably eliminate 90+% of Ingress agent activity.
Apparently they did (or somebody important did)... the video is gone. :)

"This enabled them, on ten occasions, to reduce the time it takes to recharge the battery."
(if that's even true. Didn't RTFPA)
"Nobody does it better."--so true! Thanks for helping me feel like I really had my finger on the pulse of the IT world... and other worlds besides.
If this topic has gotten you concerned about your personal stuff getting fried (if not by a CME, then by a nuclear EMP), you may want to look into constructing a Faraday cage. Here's a couple helpful links:

If it was necrotic, he would have lost all feeling in the tissue. Same deal with destructive frostbite.

If it weren't for Alfred Molina, there'd be no reason at all to see that movie.

Wrong! It's yoo-RAIN-us. Think of the U as a separate syllable and you'll be fine.
If Apophis shows up in a System Lord mothership, and Richard Dean Anderson isn't around to stop him, then he has 1 in 1 chance of hitting the Earth.
