the population growth rate derivative is almost to the point (about 2070) where earth's population will begin to shrink.
Water does not mysteriously vanish, there is a cycle and fresh water is trivially distilled (an ideal application for simple solar heating).
There is no shortage of energy on earth, not even of fossil fuels.
Resources such as metals don't disappear, we've done future generation a favor by putting them into form for reuse that is much less energy intensive than mining and refining.
so, no brick wall, no end, just engineering challenges with known solutions.
it is not a myth, the government is getting away with ignoring the constitution and committing crimes including seizing propery, incarcerating people without warrant, hurting people, etc.
that has been done by clueless people and judges. then they learn upon inevitable appeal the very salient fact that only a federal court may hear copyright infringement cases
reality is you'd need to be paying lawyer $275 or more an hour for about 700 to 1500 hours plus expenses. who here has that kind of income to gamble? I do not.
transistors have been made that depend on quantum tunneling, and that work in predictable and digital manner. in one design gate voltage controls whether tunneling from one side to another is permitted or completely forbidden. In another a series of conductive "dots" on an insulator can hold charge or allow it to tunnel in or out based on a control voltage. so I'm looking forward to seeing which way industry goes in say three years, the business model of their survival depends on them making a solution
10 nm likely will be the end of CMOS silicon chips, gates can't be thinner than a single layer of atoms and quantum effects cause all manner of leaks, unpredictability and problems. So some new type of tech will be needed after circa 2015, whether carbon nanotech or perhaps quantum effects utilized
no, it's more like the open API of Unix, open specs of Sparc. IBM finally doing something Sun had success with decades ago but not useful marketing ploy now. Too little way too late.
just make powered armor that runs on biufuel, specifically the blubber of your 300+ lbs. fellow americans. 15kW (20 horsepower!) for 1,000 seconds on a pound of fat!
Infosys is notorious for abusing the visa system to bring in totally unqualified and clueless south asians to be billable load on the U.S. system. We're talking people that couldn't even make the helpdesk script-reading sytem you get when you call tech support.
Homeland security and Justice department have an intricate investigation since 2012 ongoing on Infosys' fraud and abuse of visa system.
you have a misconception, maybe you think coal is pure carbon? look it up, plenty of H and OH (and the occassional sulphur) hanging off the carbon.
Coal can indeed be converted to syngas and liquid hydrocarbons like very clean diesel fuel by Fischer-Tropsch process. (processes invented in 19th century)
Besides, plastics and fuels can be made from plant matter too.
please provide source that maxwell had them there originally. Rather it was Pierre Curie in 1894 that hypothesized them and made modified equations. Dirac with QED showed a monopole solution *consistent* with maxwell's equations with dipole tubes acting as monopoles
just for fun I clicked one of the mp3 links on my mac here at work. A popup appeared saying QuickTime was not equipped to support the media but would I like to search for one.
So no, that would not seem to help the people listed there.
no, the equations came from direct scientific observations and robust experiments. 150 years later still no exceptions observed to facts that electric charge has sources and sinks, and magnetic field lines in closed loops with no sources and sinks.
ongoing tech driven decline of paper newspaper empire is interesting to many geeks.
but of course, horseshoe smiths and buggy whip companies and lamplighters took a beating during 20th century too
my grandfather was a lamp lighter. work started in morning extinguishing lamps for a couple hours, then during day repair and cleaning, then at night lighting them up again. but don't worry, after city went to electric auto timer street lamps he found jobs made possible by advances in technology.
wrong, coal is a hydrocarbon and is easily cracked into any length chain you would desire. we have coal for millennia. the percentage of hydrocarbons made into plastic is about 3%, but most of the applications have non-plastic substitutes: synthetic fabrics, containers, vehicle consoles and controls, device chassis, packing and bags....world would be cleaner if we didn't use plastics for those *now*, "natural" alternatives exist
wrong, wrong and wrong. We haven't even reached "peak copper" nor peak iron, and that which has been refined doesn't mysteriously vanish from the earth, we did succeeding generations a favor by converting to easily recoverable form. We have coal for millennia.

what's the point? you can be compelled to provide decryption, and quite severely punished if you do not

"intellectual property lawyers" handle both kinds of cases. just providing relative costs as aside.
the claim stands, simple copyright claim is expensive legal endeavor in these united states
ooo looky: answers by actual intellectual property lawyers:

those are real numbers for simple copyright case, look it up. Also, simple patent case averages twice to three times as much, again that 's fact.
I have lawyers in family, you however are talking out of your ass
tough talk is easy.

the ultra-rich are risk adverse, they already have a planet with resources, nice places to live, and serfs / two-legged product
