Damn, son! You are seriously retarded. There is so much paranoid, self-aggrandizing bullshit in that post. No wonder Europeans take the piss out of Americans if they witness retarded posts like yours. You don't just make the US look bad, but the whole Human species. Thanks.
I think that should be an optional extra. If someone stole my car I'd love the cops to have that ability. If we ran around stopping the police from having anything that could be abused, we'd have no police. Clearly your position is rather strange. It must be the liberals screwing with your head (thanks, FDR).
The most major challenge is to lower the amount of necessary maintenance, while keeping the safety of the flying car in tact. They can't fall out of the sky, but then they can't require hours of maintenance every week to be safe.
Stop trying to read into the thoughts of an all-powerful being. You're human, flawed, and sure to fuck it up. You state your opinion like fact, as if you are incapable of being wrong. Wow.
Nearly. Neither gasoline or hydrogen burn on their own - they need to be mixed with oxygen before they can burn. And then, when mixed, they burn. When they burn, they both explode. That's how cars work, after all.
With all due respect, you're the one who's missed the point. Your parting blow regarding European empire-building shows just how far from the truth you are. It seems you just want good flash-in-the-pan TV, not actual sustainable scientific endeavour.
Maybe because the bits of the journey that aren't at cruising altitude use up a disproportionate amount of fuel, and the inherent qualities of electric propulsion means it might be better suited to the job?
Well, in this case, the people downloading for free were not paying for their bandwidth usage, something which is not so abstract. Obviously it's not worth $400, maybe a few cents, but even so. Otherwise I agree with your point entirely.
You tell us, Mr. Knows-Fucking-Everything-About-Everyone-And-All-Science. You seem to have this "science" thing down straight, apparently an expert in things you yourself say no one is an expert in. Wooooo
Lots of people do, because it seems there are many idiots that think that if some area is colder than usual, then that instantly disproves global warming.
At 3,000m in Challenger Deep (in the Mariana Trench) it's about 1.5 deg. C, which is a lot hotter than the -183 deg. C required for the hottest superconductors currently demonstrated.
Because the people we hear about who get sued for copying music are not doing it for money, whereas the people in the article are large companies trying to actively profit off the images in question. I doubt you'll find many people who are arguing that copyright violation for commercial gain is OK, which is the direct analogy to the situation outlined in this article.
If someone is rioting in front of US troops, I doubt making them uncomfortably hot will suddenly make them homicidal. Not killing someone, however, does tend to not turn that person's relatives homicidal, which surely is better. For every insurgent killed, more than one will take his shoes. Families in that part of the world are not exactly small. It's worrying that folks don't seem to realise that. The only way to win this war is to either kill everyone, and become the devil in the process, or to talk.
But it does give the invading force the ability to repel an attack without killing anyone, which is far better for winning the hearts and minds of the local population which does not (yet) want to fight.
I think you are missing the point. A blu-ray movie, uncompressed, is only 50GB (or 20 per 1TB disk). When 80MB hard disks were common, the first CD ROM drives appeared on the market. They had a capacity of about 600MB, or 0.133 per 80MB disk. See the difference? Hard disks are now the largest storage medium we (frequently) have. When 80MBs came out, HDDs were not even close to the largest. By the time your '4K2K' video comes out, hard disks will be even larger. Comparing the requirements of the future to the bargain-basement of today is, ironically, ridiculously short-sighted.
Evolution is definable. It's very definable. May I suggest you read some more about it before wading in? I assume you have the best of intentions, but your opening statement is patently false.

But you replied, which indicates you do give a shit.

You should get someone to help you with all that sand in your vagina. It sounds really aggravating.
You should read your history a bit more, or at least from a more accurate source. Have you even read Al Qaeda's manifesto?
Lighten up, Francis.

Of course they can. Really? You think that's too hard?
Unit tests? I always knew they'd be the undoing of mankind.
The amount of ignorance in that post is simply staggering.

It's not just leaked into the atmosphere - once in the atmosphere most of it is leaked into space.

You are not a very rational person by nature, are you?
