"Cristie trying to save Atlantic City from collapse"
edit mine, Christie is trying to save the casinos, this should kill the town....
Being first, Atlantic City had a lot of business, and it came hand in hand with a lot of stranglehold regulation......
now that it's much more commonplace regionally, and the regulation is not so onerous say, in Philadelphia.. those locales are both 'newer' and not so stodgy.. The margin left over after the governmental regulations in place makes other areas a lot more profitable, edgy, and appealing.
Having to build a 500 room hotel (AC), vs a poker & slot room only... (PA)
When AC was it, short of Nevada or international venues, of course people flocked here...
when they didn't have to travel as far, people didn't...
I live 10 miles away... I go out (sans gambling) in the casinos.. it's different than it was 20 years ago.
A casino just sold for 20 million.. gads-- I could buy 10 decent hotels for that....
there is no way to ensure the emissions are entirely (at detectable levels) in the direction away from ground sources? then you only have interception from countries with enough satellites to track that...

How difficult can it be do make a robot that runs around the prairie scooping up cowshit automatically?
really? potty train cows, or build a machine to scoop shit...
hell, considering what you could get the costs down to, implant a sensor on each cows ass that detects a fecal event, and spits out the gps location-- per unit you could likely get them down to less than $100 per cow, it would be comparable to branding them, the gps tracker could be used in other ways, and recycled to the next cow with battery changes & sterilization on the point of final processing....

I think of government granted monopolies must exist for simplicity of connection & rights of way
electricity, water, cable televison, internet connectivity-
I like that I can choose an electricity supplier, if not connection... I can choose my long distance phone service readily.
but if my electrical utility announced that they were going to be buying a sports team? how well do you think that would go over?
I say, take the internet/comcast away from the FCC- and and put them entirely under PUC on a state by state basis.... where every rate must be agonized over... this and every service granted a near-ass monopoly with rights of way throughout the communities served..
yea- exclude satellite services, they don't have government mandated cables stringing down my yard... comcast does...
"with no chance of any reasonable quality of life "
absolutes are easy. what if there is a 1 in 1,000,000 chance of a cure for a debilitating disease to be found in the individuals lifetime.
who decides what is/counts as a reasonable quality? my personal? the ability or inability wipe your own ass.....
trust me, if I get to where I can't wipe my butt, and it's highly unlikely that that'll change back anytime soon? please go ahead and push me off the roof....
Slashdot Mirror
22,000 american lives.
How many lives, total.
they all count
Apologize and ask for the name, they'll be hurt and say "john"
then say, "No, I'm sorry, your last name"
they'll be relieved and supply the last name
there, you've got both, and they're relieved....
um, another device does this.

do the math.. a 1000 miles away (radius) equates 3,141,590 sq miles to track
for something that occurs in 30 seconds... and has a cross section of a few feet.
here is a nice 1000 mile circle

examine that entire region for a speck about 20-50 feet wide....

online banking- mine pulls up full images of check faces... which does include routing & account #'s
if you got my bank password... you could use online billpay to mail a check and cash it... if it was under a thousand, my bank wouldn't blink.
so scenario.. I get a good set of identity papers, even just a license together for a lady who works all day
I have, 10 account passwords at different banks and use online billpay to mail out 10 checks for $900 + odd amount checks.
I swipe them from the mailbox of the lady who works all day....
I cash them all on the same day- visiting 10 issuing banks...
burn the ID
yes, I see where that could fall apart in a few spots, but I'm not a professional grifter, a variation of it should be achievable.
