Since the simplest of those options is "it just is that way", I'm afraid your army of invisible pink unicorns will have to return to the stable.
We can only test our own universe, though if we can detect edge interactions where it appears to be being acted upon by something undetectable that *might* be evidence for parallel universes (or even evidence for gods if the data points that way). We are definitely working at the edge of what can be known when looking at that sort of thing, though, so I wouldn't expect positive results any time soon.
There's a lot of music that happens that will never be commercially successful, but is quite enjoyable for the people making and hearing it.

Strictly speaking the Wiffleball device is distinct from a Farnsworth Fusor, though it is related.
The fusor has a problem in that grid losses from a classic electrostatic confinement device are inevitable and will always prevent breakeven operation.
The Bussard Wiffleball avoids this problem (in theory) by eliminating the physical grid and replacing it with magnetic fields (which is why you'll see them referred to as "magrid" devices by some as well).
Promising work, and with more teams working on it now I hope that we will see published work in the not too distant future.
Potential side benefits include many additional data points on magnetic confinement of plasma in regimes not currently covered by Tokamak research, so even if the wiffleball configuration proves to be a bust the results can still be useful.
If he wanted to walk out from Maker Faire because they chose a blue logo but he wanted green it would be just as valid.
He may be a hypocrite for singling out his interaction with DARPA in one area only, but that is his right also.
The fact is that most people only act on their principles when it is convenient for them, which is why the ones who actually go out of their way to consistently act on their principles are so noteworthy.
His action, and his hypocrisy, are not particularly special.
If he wants to maintain his distance from the military to the point where he can't be involved with an organization that the military is also involved with, then he is doing what is right for him.
It doesn't raise any questions that haven't been asked and answered a million times before, however.
Sorry, but the adaptation didn't go away just because we moved to cities and packed our meat in plastic.
I'd rather the people who have the hunting impulse most strongly exercise it responsibly, trying to suppress strong biological impulses completely usually results in them coming out sideways to the detriment of everyone involved.
I have heard that Sony executives have indeed had their personal details published and been subject to a similar degree of exposure for actions their company has taken.
Being adults and professionals, however, they do not whine on the Internet about how unfairly they are being treated.
Glenn Beck is the Paris Hilton of political pundits, the few times I have seen his show he struck me as amazingly shallow. If he has spoken out against Republicans I can only imagine that it was when they were acting like responsible adults instead of spoiled children who have to have their way.
Are you kidding me? His campaign manager should have arranged for this domain to be purchased as soon as he launched his exploratory committee.
Failure to understand that the Internet is an important communication channel and deal with it appropriately does not bode well for his ability to deal with unexpected changes in the geopolitical landscape.
That would be the traded velocity component. You trade speed for direction using a planetary gravity well as intermediary and you end up in a nice solar orbit at a high inclination.
The difference is very well defined. Decay comes in 3 forms: Alpha, Beta, and Gamma (named for the form of radiation given off by each type of decay). Fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two parts that are (by the nature of the nuclei that *can* undergo fission) much larger than an Alpha particle.
Even in nuclei that are large enough to undergo fission normally undergo one of these forms of decay unless encouraged to do otherwise (in a reactor the encouragement is typically in the form of a neutron).

Actually, due to changes in the underlying system even a perfectly flawless piece of software can fail over time.
There are broad swaths of hardware failures that look like software bugs, just for starters.

Indeed, it does continue to this very day.

His participation, his choice.

No.
He gets to decide where his line is, you and I have no standing to do so.
If that makes you uncomfortable, then that's your problem, not his.
Everything has military applications.

Also known as the "screwdriver rule".
I'm really surprised to see the first mention of it this far down in the comments. What are they teaching the kids these days?

Violence is intrinsic in humans. We teach ourselves to control the violent impulses but for normal people the impulses are still there.
To try to claim otherwise means you're fooling yourself or trying to fool everyone else.
Attacked with: guns!
Of course it's reasonable, which is why it will never happen here in the US.
There is a business advantage to be had in being unreasonable.
We already have sailing in winter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_yachting
And skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, outdoor hockey, and lots of other stuff that you need the cold to do.
A lot of companies use Google tracking instead of internal log analysis. You should be able to block the Googlebugs safely (for now).
Under current laws you could possibly patent them, however.

People who live in a well-known tsunami zone already.

Atheism is just the lack of a belief in gods. No more, no less.
Rationality might be a one reason for someone to be an atheist, but it is not the only one and they are only tenuously connected at best.
