These are normal things a company would spend it's own money on. They shouldn't be charging it back to the government.
That said, I have to question why the/. editors think this is newsworthy. I suppose they want to keep stirring the Republican anti-science pot to generate page hits.
If your only concern is cpu cycles you shouldn't use an interpreted language. As long as the program is fast enough you should be concerned about things like productivity, testability, and maintainability.
Nope. You produced an hour of labor and sold it for $50. That's a $50 profit (ignoring expenses related to producing that hour of labor such as the cost of an office).
Maybe this is the future of programming; drag blocks and symbols around the screen so they snap together into a working program. It doesn't surprise me though, visual WYSIWYG editors like Dreamweaver aren't really programming anyway.
People don't want "a party" to have seats, they want a local representative who will look after local interests. Your proposal makes it impossible for people to vote for a candidate.
According to the UK government data in the first link in TFA, renewables share of total generation was less than 20% (and falling) in the first half of 2014.
Renewables' share of total generation in 2014 quarter 2 was 16.8 per cent, an increase of 0.9 percentage points on 2013 quarter 2, with a 6.2 per cent fall in overall generation exceeding that of renewables. This was a 2.7 percentage point fall on 2014 quarter 1's record renewables share of 19.5 per cent.
A better solution is to do what the founding fathers came up with in the first place. Most governing should be done locally (city or county level). Things that are too big for local get handled by the state. The states form a federation to handle matters such as national defense, but for the most part the federal government stays out of citizens' lives. Unfortunately, some big government politicians insist on sticking the federal government into places it doesn't belong, which is why we have the mess we do.
Quite trying to fix the abused system, stop abusing it instead.
Yea, just like all those authentic copies of Windows XP you could buy on street corners. Just because the box looks the same as the one in the US doesn't mean it's the same.
Every few years someone realizes they can query the database schema and generate CRUD forms. I never understood why Rails became popular, it was the same old approach with the same old inherent shortcomings - mostly that management thinks you have 80% of the application written in a couple of hours, when in fact you have almost nothing with any business value that a database IDE like PhpMyAdmin doesn't give you.
Their suggestion at the end of the IEEE article is to quit trying to pick winners in energy research. Fund development of known sources, and also fund wild ideas that won't necessarily (but might) lead to a breakthrough. Things like adding ethanol to gasoline and loaning money to politically connected businesses are dead ends.
And how does that compare to getting the same amount of rock from Earth? Just because a science fiction writer made up a story about it doesn't make it feasible.
The problem is that those resources are in the asteroid's orbit, which isn't useful to any mission other than one going to the asteroid. And putting it into a different orbit would be much more difficult than an Earth launch.
Dayton is the hometown of the Wright Brothers. It's also home to the National Museum of the US Air Force and Wright-Patterson AFB. Lots of aviation history there.
TFA in the summary doesn't have any useful information and no additional links. The only thing I can find on NASA's website is an announcement back in June that eighteen studies were funded. Has something happened recently?
Their first concern is to not get shot in the head. Teaching kids that they need to obey lawful orders and recognize unlawful ones is the right approach. If your rights are violated you deal with it later, not when a nervous person holding a gun is telling you what to do.
Better to generate biofuel from the inedible waste plant material.
That was the goal, but it didn't work out because the processes to generate that biofuel efficiently don't exist. It can be done on a small scale but not in quantities that matter.

If I exchange one hour of labor for $50.00

It would be idiotic to only look at local generation and ignore power imported from the south
Education, healthcare, EPA, FCC, OSHA, etc, etc. Where are they not involved? Oh, and that ticket? It goes into the FBI's database.
He could change his name to Kim Clinton. Probably have over $100M in the bank in a couple of years.

Maybe try to sell maple syrup for $1000 per ounce?
(authentic ones, not fake ones, of course)

I pulled that list from Wikipedia, for what it's worth.
All of them on both lists have "expressed interest", not much else going on this early besides putting out feelers to potential donors.
Might be an interesting year.
On the other side we have (listed alphabetically)
Joe Biden
Hillary Clinton
Howard Dean
Luis Gutiérrez
Joe Manchin
Martin O'Malley
Ed Rendell
Bernie Sanders
Brian Schweitzer
Jim Webb
And don't forget Vermin Supreme
I'm pretty sure any of the above could beat Carly

He seems to think the laws didn't apply to him.

No, the space trampoline comes before that.
