I reject any suggestion to use less energy. Energy drives civilization and progress. There is no shortage of energy on earth, we only have engineering problems with solutions that are obstructed by large corporate interests.
Rimmer: In which case we can remove him from duty as per Space Corps Directive 196156. Kryten: 196156? Any officer caught sniffing the saddle of the exercise bicycle in the women's gym will be discharged without trial? Hmm. I'm sorry, sir, that doesn't quite get to the nub of the matter for me. Rimmer: May I remind you of Space Corps Directive 34124? Kryten: 34124? "No officer with false teeth should attempt oral sex in zero-gravity"?
don't need citations for mainstream news and facts; the use of embedded rfid in produce, livestock and components in manufacturing is increasing. search engines can be your friend
we already know antimatter doesn't have "negative mass" in that sense, it responds with expected inertia to acceleration by electromagnetic forces. we already know the yield of annhilation too (relativistic mass is positive). question is just of response to gravitational field of normal matter, which way the force vector points.
the end game will be cashless society so banks and the government in their pockets get a piece of any action. If government labels you a "terrorist", your ability to buy, hold money and sell gets instantly revoked. convenient way to make everyone in an area come in for "questioning" just to get their "privileges" back
quit using the cloud word; what are you, a marketing choad?
multiple "cloud based resources" (i.e. just another goddamn bunch of servers on the internet) don't have the high speed network interconnects of a supercomputing cluster
I my country their are certain constitutional guarantees of privacy. Privacy is important to normal human beings, regardless of what nearly socially lifeless geeks might think
* but adding a camera and a mic would in my opinion make police officers less approachable *
Sounds like a great idea then. Here in Chicago the police beat, tase and rape people for jollies. many belong to criminal gangs. they should be forced to wear a non-removable camera with GPS 24x7
Protip: putting your cell phone in people's faces to record them will result in you being shunned at the least, and having your face punched in at the worst.
Protip: walk away from a Google glass wearer, and cover part of your face, before returning to punch in their face. We'll teach google and them, we just have to take basic precautions as we launch them, on their serendipitous journey to social norms and sensitivity, back of the head first.
nonsense, governments turn into police states or collapse or change economic models, in shorter timescales. Certainly the U.S. government can't plan or execute on such a timescale.

OpenBSD has LOTS of binary packages,over 7000 of them installable with just a pgk_add -i
sure, you can use ports too, but the preferred way for average user is the binary package sytem
feeding a 4K square screen is beyond the bandwidth of the pathetic "broadband" most of us can get.
zero g sex sounds like fun.

not yet, it can compile openbsd on some architecture but I see it's still using gcc even for the new 5.3

yes, but the photon is its own antiparticle
two photons interacting with sufficient energy can produce a pair of fermions
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-photon_physics
because putting them in livestock and produce and good from early manufacturing process onward is the stuff found only on wingnuts websites?
anything without functional rfid will be considered counterfeit and violation of IP.
you mean goods that soon will all have embedded rfid in them?
the BSD are considering other compilers, FreeBSD going to CLang and NetBSD might go to pcc

it's called BSD

even more amazing, this new kernel can run a special name resolving service that eliminates the need for a HOSTS file in most cases!
*plop* the decapitated body of yet another HOSTS file troll victim hits the floor
Only cpanel apaches vulnerable and modified httpd easily found by grep'ing a string?

but they did it within the most useful orbital band, not all orbits are equal
also people who are none of those things might find it extremely rude to be videod without permission, and punch your lights out.
