I am only recieving wicked screensavers from my friends you insensitive clod!
Yeah, like the one that looks exactly like getting your HD formatted, complete with HD noises and everything! Only the black screen it ends with isn't very creative.
Now what button do I push to return to my program to backup those 6 months of work I need to finish in the next 5 minutes?

Actually that's the punishment. You know these lead balls with a chain they used to prevent prisoners from escaping? Now they've got a replacement for those!
how are you going to send a signal from the transmitter to the receiver?
Probably the same way you would do it with radio: by modulating your datasignal on a carrier signal.
AFAIK this is some sort of coreless transformer: 2 coils coupled together by a magnetic field.
One could send out a magnetic field with a particular frequency and change this frequency according to your input data (yep, old style frequency modulation).
I don't think this so dramaticaly differend from radio tranceivers and I doubt these fields would be strong enough to errase a HD or mess up a CRT. I've use a cell phone at less than 1m of a CRT without interferance and these phones emit about 1W of signal.
NEWS FLASH: We all hate war. But war is going to happen.
With that additude it sure will. And you're part of the problem, just like everyone who thinks war is an acceptable part of politics.
Your country isn't so great if you'll end up fighting war after war because the rest of the planet hates you.
Better yet: make dozens of cheap RF transmitters and hide them around the store. Put a timer on them and let them activated themself at random times. I think I could call this a DWMD: Distributed Weapon of Mass Disruption.
This isn't complicated technology, building RF transmitters is pretty easy these days and you wouldn't need to transmit real RFID codes, transmitting a stronger signal at the same frequency would make them already less effective (reducing their range to a few cm, if any at all)
However using these devices could give you seriouse problems when caught, even if it isn't illigal to use these frequency, obstructing the operation of a shop is, and they can and will sue you for their lose in sales.
It balances consumer privacy and retail use in a profitable way
Profitable? for who? In any case it isn't the consumer who's going to benefid from the increase of info gathered about him.
Consumer privacy? Just like they respected our privacy with phonenumbers, adresses, email, SMS, direct messaging, whatnot.
IMO we'll better start finding ways to get rid of this new pests before the prices of wireless cameras drop to c10 each.
I won't be impressed until they can make a healthy human male yearn for a nice healthy vegan dinner.
Yeah, that would hell of a trick. But I think it would be easier to get everybody pay taxes with a smile.
Beside everybody gets exposed to a unhealty dose of conditioning, they call it education. Everybody gets conditioned, with clothing being the most common. How many people do you know aren't at least unconfortable about being naked among other people? If you give a bit of thought, it's pretty unnatural (mind you I'm talking about the ethical reasons of clothing, not about protection against the enviroment). There are plenty of other ways we were conditioned when we grew up (religion, laws, good vs bad).
Simple: because people are shallow, lazy idiots. If you judge a person just on looks, you don't have to go through the trouble of actually talking to the person, evaluating him and forming a well thought oppinion about him. I just don't get why people believe that wearing overpriced shoes, that are a result of childlabour, are a sign of being a intresting person. I find it a sign of being a easy-to-con idiot.
But that's just mine opinion as an outsider.
Another big step forwards would be getting rid of dynamic IPs. Let every user have his own personal IP # so you could block the right person when necessary.
One would expect a successfull high-payed movie producer would be able to make the link between "bad movies" and "no audience", yet they didn't. They made ever possible link between something random and "no audience".
My guess they're still in the "denial"-phase and one day they might see the link and change jobs.
Get a garden hose near the box and soak down the insides as well to reduce the risk of fire. Safety first!
What? Spray water on electric contacts? are you crazy? you'll have the wires corroded. Use gasoline or alcohol. You don't want to damage your wires, do you?
retailers could produce special targeted advertising for peole that came with money they had won in a lottery. If the retailer knows where the customer has grabbed the money its much easier to sell thing based on customer history and public profiles.
So you like spam? Spam is the result of retailers having your email adress and you want to give these people even more ammo to annoy us? no, thank you!
What's the point in producing millions of cars a day at a penny a piece if no one can affort to spend that penny?
When a factory inputs some ore and outputs a widget, the factory has produced money.
No, it hasn't. It produced money when someone buys that widget. If noone can buy the widget, the factory will end up with no ore and plenty of widgets rusting away.
Kapitalisme needs labourers earning sufficent money to buy whatever the rich factory owner produces. It can support a certain percentage of unemployment, but once that percentage gets too high, the whole system collapses. I guess we'll end up with communisme after all.

If humanity is so useless, why wasting a perfectly good astroid on it?
No serieus, give this species some time to mature. They are still in a early fase of social evolution and in perhaps a few centuries, they might grow up.
Not really, the catholic church didn't had a problem with Darwins theory of evolution, it did had a big problem with the fact that Darwin had kicked God out of the picture (His theory explained evolution as a random process with natural selection to eliminate the bad choices, so it didn't need a God). Modern evolution theory now leaves a lot of room for any number of Gods (and other supernatural stuff).
You'll start with O2 and H2.
So 2(H2) + O2 -> 2(H2O)
You might not have notice I didn't mentioned any reaction formula, just the start and end products.
But with a fuel cell, the blimp actually gets heavier as flight goes one because they can hang onto the "exhaust" (water) and keep the blimp in equilibrium through the entire flight.
If you combine H2 with 02 you get water. one water molecule weights exactly the same as its composing atoms (conservation of mass). So the blimbs mass remains the same.
they sometimes have to blow out helium which is VERY expensive.
Not really. A blimb floats, which means the upwards force (Archimedes) equals the weight (downwards force) of the blimb and cargo. It uses its engines to ascend or descent.

Because dailup users are the slowest animals in the group and are therefore easier to catch. Any predator could tell you that.
$4 billion a month / 5.75 billion non-us taxpayers (est) = $0,69
So it's more economic if we all wage war against the USA.
