As a rule of thumb, chemicals which represent a great density of potential energy are very chemically active, and very chemically active materials are destructive to living tissue. Exceptions exist, but I haven't seen any batteries that run off bacon fat.
A large and increasing portion of Americans realize that their financial health is threatened by immigrants and their very existence is threatened by Muslim terrorists. They also realize that Democrats are encouraging these dangerous things. Tea Partiers, Republicans generally, and anyone not suicidal or delusional will vote for the most pro-America, pro-freedom candidate they can find.
You'll have to be sure of more than just calculations. You have to be certain that there are no equipment failures that might send the asteroid tumbling into the Earth, thereby ending civilization and most of current life. Seems like a poor risk-reward ratio to me.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.
Unlike Obama, Bush doesn't qualify.
The wording in Obamacare was deliberate. Parts were necessary to get it passed; it would not have passed without those "bugs" in place. Other parts were there to punish uncooperative states; that backfired on Obama.
It's meant to find the people who think they're above the rules...
By rules, you mean laws? You think there's a problem with discovering lawbreakers?
or are adversarial to the government and its security.
The government, if it's behaving itself, acts to protect the populace from killers and thieves. Groups "adversarial to the government and its security" prominently include military enemies and their agents, people out to destroy those the government protects.
You become a human being when you start acting like a human being. In broad terms, ignoring the difficult details and exceptional cases, it's when you start breathing, when you're outside your mother's body, or other essentially equivalent criteria. At that point you should be considered legally human and recognized to have appropriate human rights.
This is not to say that ending the life of a human fetus should not be subject to conditions and limitations. It should be, and those conditions should become more stringent the nearer the fetus is to normal birth time.
Simplistic approaches to this subject are sure to produce unnecessary suffering. It needs to be carefully thought out and codified, and superstitions must be rejected.
A small amount of neural firing is "random", akin to electronic noise in a radio with a shorted input. This is certainly neural firing without external stimulus; whether it can be called "without stimulus" is unclear, but I'd argue it is firing without stimulus.
OK, I'll provide you with a problem this technology solves. Getting cells from non-defective fetuses pisses off many people. It is wrong to piss off people when there is an easy way to avoid doing so. This is an easy way to avoid pissing off some of those people.
Dramatic events have a better chance of being remembered. A mechanism not suggested in your citation is the repeated remembering of an event causing that memory to be transferred from one form of storage to another.
At some point the question has to be examined, "for what reason do we live our lives, and what are good ways to live?" Sparta is an example of a way to make life miserable, it is not and never was a good model.

Just don't let your electric car get cold, or that 250 mile advertised range won't move you 50 miles.
You mean the people who will work to fix things will be all rested, because they've spent the last 50 years on their asses?

Drop dead.
No compromise with evil. No compromise with death.
Do you not understand that under the category of "extreme" is "extremely good"?
Moderation is the mixing of poison and food..
Moderation is making a dam only moderately strong.
Moderation is a 747 pilot who's only moderately sober.

Anybody who thinks that "exponentially" means "greatly" isn't competent to discuss technical subjects.

Bush did bad stuff in the mistaken belief he was acting in the country's best interest. Obama has always wanted to destroy the U.S.
Stealing from me to keep you alive incites my fury.
Long term, it helps nobody.

The Ampex VR-6275, available in 1967 for $1495, was a 1 inch color video open reel recorder. Not skip-frame.

You should carefully consider the statements you make. Inviting someone to kill you, as you have just done, is not wise.
