Except that the assumption is that someone who is physically handicapped in one area is less capable in others, when in fact, they may have had to become more adept in handling certain things as a result of the limitation.
As such, perhaps those people should be consulted not because they represent a lowest-common-denominator user but instead they may provide the vision of how the applications could really take off.
So if my girlfriend had an electronic mike put in her nearby purse and I said something that could be construed as illegal during a moment of passion, that would be permissible - but if it were a *sex worker* whose services I paid for - then that's not - Right?
I failed to mentioned - this doesn't take into the cost of actually finding something to *mine*
I worked for a short time in the Arctic doing seismic work.
-40 would be quite balmy for dark side work on either Mars or the moon
Robotics to collect data? To a point - But there would still be a very large support crew needed...
It's not that it won't *ever* be done - We are so far away from this right now.
I'd like to see a serious program of planetary/lunar exploration start up again.
Is it an oxymoron to have an efficient supercomputer?
I thought heat was the real poison of "ultimate" computing...
So it seems likely computers will move towards those limits and become 'greener' with respect to how much energy they use...
There have been variations of this "floating" around for a long time now.
The most chersihed is to build a space station at either the L4 or L5 Lagrange Points - equidistant from both moon and Earth (and a 'gravitational trap' - sort of) - and mine the moon - from which it would be relatively easier to lift off with materials to help make the station...A long way to go for some mafic minerals...
Maybe a pit stop on a way out to further parts.
An unlikely place to actually think of a serious mining operation.
Lagrange Points
The Greeks coined the term 'barbarian' simply as a way to say 'someone who goes bar bar' - that is, 'someone "I" cannot understand' - With a snooty disregard for the person's origins. Later, however, the terms took on its full perjorative meaning of 'uncouth'.
"That man Philip, not only he is not a Greek, but also he does not have anything in common with the Greeks. If only he would have been a barbarian from a decent country - but he is not even that. He is a scabby creature from Macedonia - a land that one can not even bring a slave that is worth something from".15)
"15) The statement of Demostenes can be found in any publication of his speeches called Philippics.
"The question why Demosthenes named Philip as a barbarian becomes imminent. Majority of the scientists believe that the term "barbarians" in the ancient period was used to refer mainly to people that spoke language that Greeks could not understand, usually accompanied by a dose of disregard towards the culture of the people speaking that language. It is well known that all the people that did not speak Greek were named "barbarians", whereas the Greeks from the city-states used the word "xenoi" when referring to one-another.16)

take a left at what's going to be the new sports center,

S t r e t c h that mind.
Think where how many of these posts wouldn't even exist if Hawking hadn't been able to see what was going to happen to him as his illness progressed.
He started developing his own means of communication - taking the best of what had already had been developed - and adapting it to his needs.
If the technology had stood still at that time where he was - think of how much we would lose.
A mind-controlled car is pretty much what people have shown they would like - or a mindless one.

Why is this just making news?
Sounds like a good idea
I have a feeling there may be more of a need than for those who drive around with a cell phone in one hand and a latte in the other.

To do otherwise would be counterproductive in terms of both efficiency and ecology.
That's needed given how much energy the US is using
Not a bad thing - but I wonder when green will move towards a technology that means less polluting in terms of hardware that gets trashed every year.
