nonsense, the Sun puts out enough energy on the Earth for over 10,000 civilizations. We have effecient enough collection devices and storage tech, and the UHVDC lines to distribute energy across continents. A mere 100 square miles of solar collector would power the USA.
we don't need fission any more. using uranium is just dumb now.
actually, the claimed "counterfeit" in this issue is just real textbook by same publisher, printed for non-domestic market, because the publishers can use the "required for college" in the USA to screw over the domestic buyer by inflating price 4 times or more.
easy fix for this, require the publisher to have the same price for U.S. citizen as lowest overseas market price. Time to cap this cartel in the knees
that's not even what this issue is about. it's about real textbooks printed for overseas by the same publishers who print the overpriced USA ones, because the schools support their cabal.
I say we make a law requiring textbooks to be sold domestically at the lowest price the overseas people can get them. what we have now is price gouging
Why? In all likelihood it would just show him dying without visible cause. This happens sometimes, and then autopsy reveals internal malfunction or condition that caused it. For example, there are undetectable conditions that can cause a young person to go into cardiac arrest.
because Dell sells the exact same hardware year after year? what's inside the box stays the same because the model number on the plastic case is the same?
have something like that already, reloadable cash cards put out by major credit card companies. works anywhere a credit card works. are these "poor" people so lazy they don't want to walk in store and get one?
doesn't legally mean what you imagine it does. only applies to creditors, not private businesses or individuals. Look it up, any non-creditor business can require anything they want as payment, and exclude cash.

you commit the fallacy of asserting a consequent that is quite impossible. stick to social issues, you know nothing of science or engineering.

all that is true but the wired sound quality really is better also.
only matters what China does now, and in a few decades also what India does. Irrelevant what the rest do, irrelevant what the USA does.
yet we're mining denser stuff than these "rare earths" near the surface, like lead and gold
Plenty of the stuff within "mining distance and reasonable cost"
There is is no problem
Only shills making hype and crying wolf for investment purposes.
Mark my words, the "rare earth" industry will grow to meet demand. plenty of "new discoveries" of mine-able concentrations will be found.
maybe you live in your mom's basement, anon?
my friends, relatives and coworkers are all very aware of VR and tried it. no one liked it.
the crust of the earth is 20 miles thick.
the elements in use in fiber optics and magnets are not rare at all.
we've "barely scratched the surface"
there will be no shortages, it's impossible
no, the dumb fucks are those that use social media for news.
facebook is (one way ) for coworkers, schoolmates and relatives to stay in touch. that's all.
don't be a dumb-ass, get your news from actual journalists.
wrong
most people hate watching VR in theaters. They try it and don't like it. They go back to superior 2D movies. I don't know anyone who likes it.
Absolutely false and ignorant statement
Look it up, Japan also has its traditional units that are still used in many industries like construction and textiles. They aren't pure metric.
uh, developers with actual useful skills pull in $100K+ at normal jobs, all of the ones at my employer do.
why bother to ride a fad?

Hahaha are there even any non+Chinese made server boards for x86-64?
I guess a slashdot anonymous coward must have opinion that is worthwhile... Oh wait you don't. Meanwhile the company in question is hugely successful
nope, you were wooshed, you wooshie

Strawman argument, that's not "improving the world." Your definition of "improving the world" is not accepted.
What nonsense to say it's unsustainable. It is very sustainable and only an engineering problem to make more meat.
Your meat-flavored products taste like ass. Fuck off and die.

Dice, the irate parking customer: "fifteen bucks??!! but you let that woman park for free!"
Parking attendant: "She blew me."
Dice, counting out bills: "Right....15 bucks"
