I know what you're talking about. But I seriously doubt any form of electronic paper will replace the good ole hard/paperbacked book. Some of us still like to flip through pages to read what's next and not having to push a button.
LOL! I know what you mean. I only watch PBS and a little news (barely any) and perhaps one or two shows (I like CSI) and that's it. Those reality shows... let's just say I can never believe how perverted a mind can get.
However, the only thing you eliminate is black smoke, but not the danger of having so many flammable items around (air compression eliminate one, but not all, of those threat). Also I think the reason is that compressed air is much more easily controlled then fuel-air mixture, which would depend on a lot of factors.
Actually he is right, even thou the signal response is less then a second, it will still take satellite a while to turn off something that powerful. (When something can generate a powerful beam, what happen to those power when the beam is turned off?)

You remembered correctly, American law is unenforceable outside it's borders. However, if America manage to put it into a treaty with another country, then it will be enforceable in said country.
Most of the unstability have to deal with the fact that Firefox tend to eat up a lot of memory and creates some memory leak when being minimized and maximized a lot of times (happens to IE more frequently so...)
Hm... not sure about Tim Horton... but I don't think Tim Horton's doghnut chain is a global leader in fast food sector. McDonald will have to take the gold for having dominance in the global fast food sector.
On a side note, there are more Seven-Eleven in Taiwan then McDonalds.
Yes it will. But since the Opportunity rover has techinically outlived its current mission, they just want to squeeze some more data out of it, even if it mean shortening its lifespan.
We need an open source e-mail solution! Hopefully just as OSS can fix OS, maybe OSS can fix e-mail... I hope.
P.S. Whoever invented e-mail has a good intention, is just that greedy bastard (including the large corporation) always want to squeeze in a few bucks if they can get them for free at the expense to the rest of the society.
This is the dark-side of captalism... Although it's still better then communism... I'm leaning more towards socialism... US is more socialism then capitalism now what with the welfare and social security system...
Actually such prior must be found "before" the patent filing date, not the patent approval date. Filing for a patent is an guarantee way that you get to keep your invention (assuming no prior art) even if someone "invented" the same thing during the patent period and claim it as being a prior art just to screw you over.
But in this specific case... I'm very tempted to go work in the patent office so I can help them review the case before some idiot put their stamp of approval on it... JEEZE! Double click patents?
One problem, you're basically talking about the distillation process, which actually generate very little power. Another way you can do it is using photovoltaic cells (I know, inefficient, but still generate more power then the two staged, condensation and turbine electric generator, and much easier to set up) and rechargeable batteries.
Actually that idea has been around for several decades, but the idea wasn't wide spread because of several reason.
1. Location location location...
One of the requirement for powerplant is that it must supply a estimatable amount of power at a stable, continuous rate. Solar powerplant depends on a clear, cloudless sky. And seasonal changes might cause problem where electric supply if lower in winter (shorter daylight hours).
2. Maintainance...
Solar powerplants are quite expensive to maintain due to the large amount of mirror needed to focus enough sun's energy to the boiler that drives the turbine, or the large amount of photovoltaic cells needed.
3. Efficiency
Both photo-voltaic and steam turbine are somewhat inefficient.
Highly doubtful, since the lens themselves merely bend light and let it through, and focal point on the lens will merely cause the lightbeam to scatter once they pass through the mirror (or turn into a tight beam... i think that's what will happen. Then scatter out because of interference).
Why stop with a baseball bat when you can tot some shotgun? Or, hack those monitors (i bet someone can find a way to do it) so that they display Goatse images.
Or one can just build an EMP blast generator to fry those DVDs... although people with pacemaker walking around is a problem....
Unfortunately, which Hafnium may become a good source of energy, it will become a weapon first because it's much easier to cause a runaway nuclear reaction (nuclear bomb, both fission and fusion) then it is to sustain a controlled reaction.
Although I hope this would never happen, but sooner or later, the PEOPLE will get sick of taking this lying down and decide to rise up against the elitists. Government for centuries have always being trying to oppress the people, but sooner or later, the people decide to rise up...
I hope US isn't heading in that direction... I'm an idealist (sort of), I sincerely wish that US shall remain a beacon of hope as our founding father intended even as the world around us crumbles away...
Unfortunately, it doesn't matter, the hierarchy of laws stated that treaties supersedes constitution. So if a treaty allows foreign nation to deprive us of our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, then the constitution can't do anything about that.//Start of ranting

That and they haven't become overly profit driven. They aim for good products, the profits come as a side effect. Others aim for high profit, bad products come as a side effect.
