One of the least desirable qualities of pitbulls is that they do challenge their owners for dominance. They have to be trained strongly against their genetic tendencies if they are to be suitable housepets.
It doesn't matter if the company folds; they're negotiating with Philips, who will presumably be the manufacturer. Philips is pretty strong financially and if the technology is good Philips will be able to keep it going as long as it's profitable. And Philips is not a stupid organization; they're going to make sure the tech is as claimed.
The DNA evidence for this claim is inconclusive because it does not eliminate other members of Jefferson's family. In particular, one close relative had a poor reputation, and is a likely candidate for this misbehaviour.
The claim that Clarke's prediction is based on mysticism is baseless. Not regarding humans as the best of creatures is foolish.
The claim that it is based on linear progress is contrary to Clarke's prediction, which implies a very nonlinear progress: very slow until recently, fast now and at least until we progress beyond what we might reasonably recognize as human. The part up to now is history. The rest is speculation.
Statis is not a good thing, unless you regard pain and early death as good.
The problem with scalpers and domain name squatters is the same: the original seller, from whom the ticket or domain name was acquired, underpriced their product. If it had been properly priced, there would be inadequate margin for the scalper/squatter to operate in. It's poor business practices that allow these lowlifes to prosper.
Financial collapses are based upon acting wrongly in a massive fashion; speculation is only one form of frothy topping accentuating some of the disasters. The USSR was a continuing financial collapse for 70+ years, it was not what is normally called speculation, it was massive wrong action.
Similarly, the recent housing bubble and collapse was at its root caused by government meddling creating an "attractive nuisance", speculation made the problem worse but was not its cause.
whoever tells you that electric cars cost alot to make is an idiot.
whoever tells you that alot is a word is an idiot.
One word: bureaucracy
Additionally, it's not just a matter of stuffing batteries and an electric motor into the place where there was a petrol engine. The car was designed from the ground up to meet existing and anticipated standards of safety, styling, performance, and producibility. Prototypes were built and tested. Two generations of the EV1 went through that. All this and more, and plenty of corporate waste, went into development. Production costs include amortization of the production line over the 1100 vehicles produced.
Almost all the dealers being cut off are owned by Republicans. This is a clear act of political aggression by the Obama administration. We are on track to tyranny.
GM has been under public and governmental pressure to make a small domestic car for decades. Previous attempts (Corvair, Vega) were expensive failures. The Saturn is a huge effort to make a financially successful small car, and once again it is destroyed by expenses caused by unions. The car is reasonably reliable compared to the competition, even if not up to Toyota standards.
Jobs are what people use to earn a living, to keep themselves alive without stealing. Apparently you object to this.
Only rich countries can afford to be concerned about the "environment". Others are more concerned about staying alive, regardless of the cosequences.
One thing in C that many people complain about is that it's too easy to get in trouble with pointers. Part of this problem is due to the way that pointers are declared often looks different from the way pointers are used, particularly if pointers and array indexes are freely interchanged. The confusion is due to a poorly chosen system of expression.

I was disappointed to see that the clock is 8 MHz divided down to 2 MHz, which I assume is the fastest possible instruction rate. Given that the design is microcoded, most instructions probably are many cycles. Ah, well... optimizing for speed means a more complicated and difficult design.
Look at the devices, you'll see a large portion of them are 22V10. These are primitive programmable logic devices, midway between gate logic and FPGA. If he had actually made a design with gate ICs and flipflops, it would have been much bigger.
The glass-forming equipment isn't unreasonable -- propane torch and such -- and the spot welder is within the realm of an enthusiastic mechanics hobbyist. What blew me away was the induction heater.
The US Constitution, the supreme law of the land, is used like toilet paper by all 3 branches of government. And you think news could be trusted in the hands of the government? News is more vulnerable than schools, and public schools have for all practical purposes become indoctrination centers.
Let's see, news organizations paid for by the government. What could possibly go wrong?
No need to worry about censorship! All the reporters want their business, the gov't, to get bigger and more powerful, so that they get more money and power. Never report corruption and bribery; that would reflect poorly on the people who pay your salary.

Silver corrodes quickly in open air, that's why most supermarkets sell silver polish. IIRC, the culprit is sulphur.

You need to do your price history in "constant dollars" for it to make any sense. Bread costs 5X more now than it did in 1968, gold > 20X.
The article gave environmental costs for passenger-miles, not ton-miles. The difference between the two is substantial.
Are these black hole swallows starring in Capistrano? Are there any chickadees?

Self-refueling. Finds earthworms and seeds, converts to ethanol.

If porn might get you in trouble, a nice surgery video is far more likely to gross out people.
Oh, wait...
On a more serious note, you might be taken seriously if you wrote coherently.

Nope, no problem here. Like the BBC. Like Pravda.
