There are leaders in every country that just love to justify military expense. How do we know that this is just a game that is being played between them so that all of the local populations will not question those expenses?
Here is a link http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2013-03/uoc-dod032113.php. It mentions a beer refrigerator size unit. I would imagine that would be smaller than a normal refrigerator. I live near a water pumped storage unit. They are investing close to a billion dollars in changing the turbine blades. They also built 56 windmills here at a cost of around 250 million dollars. It would seem to me that the money spent for the blades would be better spent on the home units since they would be much closer to where the electricity is being used. I would think that they could make bigger units for industry. I would hope that the units would be free and it would be like an air conditioner unit so it would be external to the house.
I want a program that would maintain a backup of the hard drive on a network drive every time the computer is shut off. I want an installation disk that would look for a backup on the network drive and install that backup instead of a new installation.
There was no force behind the big bang or the expansion of the universe. Only fools would believe that there was a force. Obviously there was a force so the question is whether or not that force had intelligence. The nature of the universe and the fact that the laws of physics being just right for our existence would be an indication of intelligence. I do not know if there is a god. I know that I would not believe in any of the gods explained by any of the religions of today. I know I would not call anyone who believes in a god a fool.
As for the doorbell system, what are the probabilities that the device to send a text message will be closer than the door itself? Forget doorbells all together. If someone wants to see me let them bring a cell phone. The cell phone would have to be able to remotely get the number to dial so that your house did not give your cell phone number to everyone. Than one would be able to answer even if they were not home. This would mean than any door to door salesperson would be able to contact you even if you are not home but caller id should be able to screen most of them out.
Delaware and New Hampshire do not charge any sales tax. If the tax is charged to the billing address and someone purchase an item from those states and has it delivered to another state than there would be no sales tax. What would stop someone from Delaware from setting up a business where the products were purchased from that state but delivered to another. They could just split the sales tax between them. Sales tax is a regressive tax as it does not depend on the purchaser's income. It would be totally ironic if it were passed when they are refusing to eliminate any deductions for the super rich. I guess we would know who's back pocket congress reside in.
Is it bad if more solar panels are made at a lower cost? Yes it is if it takes away American jobs and the government ends up paying more for unemployment insurance and health and welfare cost. Yes if it prevents American companies from investing in automated equipment that would allow them to sell their products at even a lower price. Shipping money to China so they can invest in American corporations and end up owning almost all of America is not a good idea.
Oppose it or not it will happen. Every time you purchase an item the store will reduce its inventory by one so they are doing data mining on your purchases. As for them know what you purchase, it would not make economic sense to hire a human to keep track of them. It is only a computer that will know and figure out a way to benefit from that knowledge. So I suppose you would oppose the economic value that both you and the store will get from this knowledge. I can see both reduced inventory and spoilage cost. Someone will figure out a way to make them look like ordinary glasses so unless you want to ban all glasses there will be no way to avoid them. As for me, I know I am just one out of a lot of people and no one will pay more than two cents to know what I do or what I look like with or without clothes.
Suppose someone in the North Korean army started a civil war. Then Kim Jung Un decided to nuke his own country. Would we retaliate and cause further damage by nuking his part of the country? Suppose he nuked China or Russia would we just leave it up to them to retaliate? Suppose the North Korean army was revolting and the last thing Kim Jung Un did was to nuke South Korea. Would we retaliate even though everyone who was responsible for the attack were already dead? Would we retaliate if the new leaders of North Korea want to unite with the south in a democracy? It would not make sense to nuke a side of any civil war. In a sense the whole Earth is just one country making any war just a civil war. The use of nuclear weapons will never make sense. If one side uses them than the other side would do nothing but spread the misery. Neither side would win as the only way to win is not to play. There is no way we can morally demand countries like North Korea and Iran not develop nuclear weapons unless we do all in our power to eliminate all nuclear weapons. I would think we already have plenty of non nuclear weapons to sufficiently retaliate against any other country in the world.
I was given a hp laptop because it was not working. I found that there was a problem with the hard drive. I tried to use the recovery partition to fix it but it would end with a error message telling me it could not recover. I replaced the hard drive and went to reinstall windows 7. I then found that the key had completely warn off. So I installed Ubuntu on it. I took it to a local computer repair shop. I showed it to the person there and she booted it and told me since it was running Ubuntu no one would be interested in it. I have sold several windows computers there in the past. So it is extremely difficult to sell a computer today that is not running a windows operating system even if that is more than 10 year old OS(windows xp).
I have two 6 core computers(amd) and I run world community grid software on both of them. I run them hard because the software will run each core at 100%. One of them has a ssd. The one with the ssd has more than double the results as the other for the last 30 days so that could be the point. I am sure that for most people making the computer faster will just mean more idle time for the computer.
They will call you and tell you that you can get a lot more for less money than you are now paying. Of course that is only for the first year and the second year will only be a little bit more than you are paying now. The third year you will be paying a lot more than you are paying now. They hope you will become dependent on those extra services by then and will not do anything about it. For the same price charter would have charged me, I can get magic jack for my land line, netflix and hulu plus for tv, and a cell phone and internet from them. Of course I now pay almost double what they advertise for the internet because they are the only ones that can provide a fast enough internet speed in my area.
Electronic doodads are going to lead to the biggest change in our life in the last hundred years. GPS and cruise control will lead to the car knowing where it is and what is the speed limit and where there is and intersection. Therefore your car will not allow one to violate the law. There will be communication between every car within 300 feet of each other and traffic lights. If one is approaching a traffic light it will send the car the speed it will need to go to reach the light at the green condition. Cars will not allow lane changes unless it is safe and they will know when it is safe. Self driving vehicles will lead to a reduction of about a half in the need to drive. One will shop at home and everything will be delivered to them. This will lead to a reduction of at least 50% of the needed land for commercial enterprise. I can just see the local store with shelves 20 feet high because robots will collect the products and there will be no need for a parking lot since no one will shop there anymore. I do not see any reason why electronic doodads can not make driving an automobile just as safe as traveling by airplane
I am personally familiar with minimum wage since after I retired from the military and went back to my home town. I had other income and my desire to live in my birth area meant that I could take a minimum wage job. I found out that the more the minimum wage was the less hours I would get so in the end I would earn less money. So how can the government help people who are making minimum wages? One is to encourage employers to give them more hours. This could be done by making work over 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week be paid at least double time or even triple time. Another would be to help state and local governments eliminate regressive taxes and fees. The worst is property tax which takes a lot of money from those who are least able to pay. My combined property taxes and sales taxes have been more than my federal taxes. If one increase the minimum wage one will increase the cost of eating at a fast food joint. Therefore people will spend less money there and there will be less workers there so everyone will lose in the end. 40 time 52 is 2080 so a dollar raise in minimum wage would equal $2080 but that is way more since most do not work full time. So increase income taxes so that all governments can decrease all regressive taxes and fees.
You pray to your god to cure diseases and feed the hungry? A god that could create the universe could create a world without disease or hungry people. That god would also know the cures to every disease and the technology to produce an adequate amount of food. But for some reason that god had decided to keep these secrets from us. If your child was dying of a disease and you did not have enough food to feed that child, you would still be grateful if your neighbor who had an abundant amount of food and a cure to that disease would instead of giving those to you, just burned them? Remember that god would have created the disease too. I will never believe that humans somehow did something to deserve this too. So I would never worship that god even if that god was true.
What happens when one purchases a new motherboard and tries to boot up from the original hard drive? I used to do this with 95 and 98 but since xp was introduced, I find that the computer will not boot and the only thing I could do was to install the operating system and all the programs again. That would mean that one had to have a cd or a flash drive with the ability to install the operating system. Most new computers do not come with this capability. This is why I find it hard to believe that Microsoft would allow one to boot several computers with a flash drive. At a minimum one will have two computers that could be running windows 8 at the same time with only paying for one license. Allowing this would probably bankrupt Microsoft or at least mean that Bill Gates would lose a small chunk of his fortune. Just a couple of days ago I had a 6 year old computer that the motherboard or the microprocessor went bad. The computer was on at least 80% of that time and was using 100% of all four of its cores most of that time so I guess I got enough use out of it. I still do not believe that I could buy another motherboard and install it and boot from the ssd and have everything work.
Paying by cash is not free for the merchants. Merchants would save money if they could eliminate cash. First there is the cost of stocking each register with change money. $10,000 in change money is $10,000 that can not be used to pay bills. Than there is the cost of ensuring the employee does not steal any of that money. Than there is the cost of an employee to wait for the customer to count their money and the cost of counting their change. Than there is the cost of an employee to count all the money and to document and balance the cash. Than there is the cost of an employee to deposit the money in a bank and a safe to keep the next days change money. There will always be mistakes in counting either the money given or change given back. If a register is manned by more than one person than there is no way to know for certain who is at fault if there is a shortage of money. Today it is much faster to do a transaction with a card than with cash so the person behind the till will do a lot more transactions so their cost will be lower. If anything should be done there should be a fee for using cash. I know that I would feel safer if I knew there was no cash in the till for anyone to steal and that goes for when I am a customer and when I work behind the till.
Since we will be slaves to the machines, the work week should be 8 hours days on Monday, Tuesday. Get Wednesday and Thursday off. Work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Than get Monday, Tuesday off. Work Wednesday and Thursday. Than get Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. In a two week period one would work 7 days for a total of 56 hours or 28 hours a week. The machines would have their slaves 24/7 so they could be used around the clock. Every other weekend would be a three day weekend and one would never have to work more than three days in a row.
What about the marine life? I live near the fifth largest pumped storage plant(it was the largest when built). It is on the shores of Lake Michigan where the marine life is much smaller and they maintain a net around the inlet so they do not pump a lot of fish into the man made lake. I guess the turbine blades are not too healthy to them on their small trip. I can just see them discovering a whale or a dolphin cut to pieces inside this island. I suppose they could construct a huge barrier to the inlet but it would have to be much stronger than the net they put around the Michigan pumped storage plant.
How much return of investment is the world getting from the ISS? Is it even close to the cost of maintaining it? If they did find some huge payoff, what would the rest of the world do, if Russia sent three Russian up there to kick off all non-Russian? The same Russians who probably instigated the problems in Georgia and used that as an excuse to intervene. I am just curious since there must be a reason why they want to expand it. I believe there is only 7 years left so if it takes another 2 years to get it up there, its would be useful for less than 5 years.
I have read that the latest supercomputer can do a Giga Flop per watt of computing. I do not think that any home computer will come close to that figure. Now if someone would calculate the total cost of doing this 1000 TFlops, I would think that it would be very close to the amount of purchasing a supercomputer and running it. 1,000 TFlops is around 5% of the fastest supercomputer today so one would assume that the supercomputer could do a lot more than just this program. Before 2020 1,000 TFops will be one tenth of one per cent of the computing power of the fastest supercomputer. I am familiar with other distributed computing programs and they usually require more than one volunteer to do any work, They compare the results from each volunteer to make sure that they have the correct results. Therefore 1,000 TFlops is probably at best equivalent to 500 TFlops. When one looks at all the factors, I would think that it would be better to ask for donations of money and purchase some time on a supercomputer. Even if the volunteer would only donate what they would save in electricity, I believe they would have enough.
I forgot that router should also have a 8 core microprocessor with 20 GBytes of ram memory and 120 GBytes of SSD and a Terabyte of hard drive space. Wireless keyboard and mouse should be able to communicate with router so any television should be able to be used as a monitor for that computer. Of course all of this should be available for around a $100 a month.
I was hoping that this would free me from purchasing a lot of equipment. I was hoping the cable company would purchase the router and place on pole around my house. I would than purchase adapters for every television and have wireless reception. I would than purchase cordless phones with the base being the router. I would not have to purchase a video recorder since the cable company would record all the channels I receive and allow me to choose what time to watch them. Until this happens, I will not be excited by any advance in routers.
. It's somewhat surprising that the average American doesn't yet see how deep in shit he really is, with the country owing three times his salary, which he has to pay back with interest. Delaying it is just going to make the payments worse.
I see so if someone makes let say $50,000 a year they should not be allowed to purchase a home that is worth more than $150,000. But that would be 3 times so I guess you would limit it to $100,000. I think most of the homes purchased today would never be purchased under your plans. Every dollar spent on assets does not increase the deficit since it is less money that future governments will have to spend. I think that would include every road, building, military equipment(aircraft carriers, planes, tanks and guns etc etc), and even money spent on educating people. Those are the very first things you republicans would decrease with the exception of the military.

It is the same with raising taxes on the rich. Instead of them being 8% richer next year they might be only 6% richer.
