Please list below any advancements since 1994 that seriously reduced resource consumption. I can't think of any.
Maybe not reduce resource consumption but increase resources. 1994 is when genetically modified foods were introduced to massively increase crop yields. (Coincidentally cancer rates have skyrocketed)
This law is getting a lot of attention because it's not a new law, it's an update to the existing law. Currently the law is in reference to telephones but is being updated to any electronic device. It's getting a lot of heat from local conservative talk radio. It's not actually on Jan Brewer's desk yet and she had no part in updating it. My guess is that from all the attention it has gotten that it will not pass. Take away the annoy and offend and it might pass. These are essentially anti-stalker laws. Since there is no legal definition for annoy and offend then it is loosely interpreted.
Not sure the accuracy of the Thomas Jefferson statement about not wanting Franklin to work on the Declaration of Independence, but after Jefferson had drafted the document he presented it to the committee for review. Committee members were Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Roger Sherman, and Robert Livingston. Franklin and Adams made a few alterations to the wording. Franklin revised Jefferson's "We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable" to read "We hold these truths to be self-evident." This was definitely not a time for jokes.
At the time Ben Franklin had been suffering from some health problems so he probably wasn't in a joking mood either.
Any true baseball fan knows that interaction of the players and the coaches with the umpire really adds to the dynamics of the game. To quote Mark Grace, "That's Big League!"
"No plan under serious consideration cuts spending in the way you and I think about it. Instead, the cuts being discussed are illusory and are not cuts from current amounts being spent, but cuts in prospective spending increases. This is akin to a family saving $100,000 in expenses by deciding not to buy a Lamborghini and instead getting a fully loaded Mercedes when really their budget dictates that they need to stick with their perfectly serviceable Honda."

Lisa: I'll stop buying Malibu Stacey clothing.
Bart: And I'll take up smoking and give that up.
Homer: Good for you, son. Giving up smoking is one of the hardest things you'll ever have to do. Have a dollar.
[gives a dollar bill to Bart]
Lisa: But he didn't do anything!
Homer: Didn't he, Lisa? Didn't he?
Their child prostitution is right out there leading their marketing pushes. Check out the "teen seen" music sources and Disney Channel fare. 13 year old girls in bustiers?
MAFIAA is _proud_ of their rampant selling of child sex and sexuality to the public. That it is more "child porn" than direct prostitution is the only possible argument.

When Avatar came out I bought a blu-ray player. It was the only reason I bought one. Then I stuck in the avatar disk into the blu-ray player with my tub of popcorn and drink at the ready. The first message I get is "Disc can't be played". WTF! An insert on the disc says that an upgrade to the firmware may be required. WTF! I do not have a convenient way of hooking the blu-ray player to the internet. Oh man what a hassle. Forget the blu-ray player.. DRM has destroyed it.
Like CDs becoming obsolete to digital music... dvds and blu-ray will eventually do the same with digital movies.
Even if you are in the right lawsuits are very stressful situations. I recently battled my HOA for nearly 2 years. I won but at a cost. The lawsuit was all I could think about. My work suffered, my family suffered, my mental stability suffered, etc. I can fully understand why people choose to settle. To those people that are hating on Geohot... why don't they sue Sony for whatever it is they believe in?
It is? What was wrong with the FCC's latest rules? I didn't see anything objectionable about them, and I'm usually anti-government. The rules seemed reasonable - block ISPs from discriminating against sites or charging extra to reach them.
Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. It's okay if they apply those rules. That just set a precedent. Now they can apply any other rules they wish. Oh but wait... the other rules might become objectionable.
Excellent news. I support Net Neutrality but I do not support the FCCs control over the internet. Why should the FCC have this power? This is just a way for the government to trick the people into thinking that it's okay for the government to control the internet. Next thing you know there is internet IDs, user tracking, content monitoring, censorship, fairness doctrines, and so on. Then the people say... wait who gave the government the power to regulate the internet? Oh... oops we did by supporting the governments order of net neutrality.
Maybe he actually cheated... LOL. Naturally, the mother is biased in favor of her son.
I think he is accused of profile manipulation. Not aim-botting, wall hacking, or anything of that sort. He probably is good at XBOX and probably spends countless hours playing. But he probably found this easy way to unlock features and achievements by manipulating his profile.
Here is how easy its done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD_mBRBcOwo
The warning provided is that you may have your account reset if you get caught. So yes he probably did cheat.
I agree. I use the Microsoft Natural® Ergonomic Desktop 7000. The mouse has caused my wrist pain to disappear. I have this keyboard and mouse combo at work and at home. Totally worth the price.
In southern Arizona we also have the problem with pack rats. They are a plague around homes. My 1997 Camaro had all the insulation and wiring chewed out by pack rats. Cost me $1500 in damage. The alternator was toast. The guy who fixed my car said that he had never seen an air filter in such horrible condition in his life. They used that as the toilet. Apparently a nest had been built in the hollow area at the very front end of the car. I dubbed my car the Pack Rat Mobile Housing Unit because apparently they had been going to work and back with me before I knew there was a problem.
After that I hunted the pack rats with my pellet gun. I shot two of them and poisoned others. That is the disadvantage of a carport and not having a closed garage. Although I suppose even a garage might not stop it from happening.

Through the Chapa'Eye of course.

But without "drastic measures for environmental protection," the scenarios predict the likelihood of a population and economic crash.
Such as a one child law? The lottery? Soylent green?
What kind of drastic measures do they mean?

The magic buzzword is to "differentiate" and show what your technology will do that Apple won't even care about, let alone beat you at.
Microsoft needs to Think Different.
You are certainly wrong about that. I can remember Curt Schilling taking a bat to one of those "purity" camera devices and the crowd cheered.

I don't think Amazon is avoiding paying taxes... they are avoiding collecting taxes on behalf of the government of California.
"Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law that requires out-of-state electronic retailers to collect sales tax on purchases from Golden State customers"
This law may be in violation of the commerce clause of the U.S Constitution. Is it valid? I don't know it will have to withstand the courts rulings.
...and disabled.
In Living Color was way ahead of its time.
Handiman joined the Justice Legion to settle an affirmative action suit brought on by the U.S. government.

Bank of America is too big to fail and is therefore too big to go after.
Now introducing the planet Luna...
Micro transactions for the government are in the range of billions now. Regular transactions range in the trillions.

If you found those shows boring perhaps wrestling is more your style. Soon Syfly will cancel all SciFi shows and move to mindless entertainment.

Just call it a miniature arc reactor and attach some blue LEDs to it. Run a commercial featuring Iron Man and its sold to the public!
