Bitcoins might also be considered to NOT be currency, but a tangible asset such as a bar of gold or silver. In that case transactions involving bitcoins are actually barter. While US citizens are not allowed to own gold (or is this no longer true) except for gold coins and makers of jewelry, items made of gold could be owned and bartered. Airline mile credits are a similar tangible asset.
The problem is that even though the basic principles have been known for over 50 years, nuclear power is still a 'new' technology. Not only are newer designs safer but more efficient. Perhaps the industry needs to accept that the lifespan of an early power plant is only 30 years, and that the lifespan of plants just off the drawing board today might also be in the same span. Nuclear power won't be cheaper than fossil fuel when compared to today's fuel costs, but years down the road the investment in building a new nuclear power plant could pay off as the cost of fossil fuel rises. The cost of replacing older nuclear power plants (or rebuilding them in place with newer components) needs to be factored in along with the 'real' life span of the installation.
Hey BSA get THIS though your thick numbskull! Copying software isn't theft unless the thief: (A)would have paid for the software had the copy not been made available to him, or (B)sold the copies on the black market for whatever he could have got for it. In case A: your loss is ZERO if the copier would not have bought your overpriced software had he not gotten the copy. In case B: your loss is only what the illegally copied software was sold for (assuming the buyer would NOT have bought your overpriced software had the bootleg copy not been available). Case B happens mostly in Asia where you are held in the lowest regard.
So suggestion..... If you want to avoid piracy why not accept ALL offers made by would be copiers to buy your overpriced software for what THEY feel it is worth to THEM. Isn't it better to get a reduced price for your software than NOTHING? If anyone does make you such an offer they should get the same service/support from you that they would if they copy the software (IE: NONE) since that is the perceived value of overpaying for software.
The ending SUCKED! I'm thinking that by putting everyone in hibernation for three years they thing that the show might get picked up again in a few years. Also they sorta implied that Eli isn't going to make it. Why didn't they just put TWO people in one of the hibernation chambers?
My friend installed a shower stall in his old man's home made RV (1959 Dodge Stepvan with a '55 DeSoto V8). You had to sit ON the toilet to shower though.
They didn't show what he did with the bathroom? Did he fit in a fold up tub, or has to make due with just a shower? His apartment reminds me of some of the displays in the Ikea showroom.
There are legal reasons why mail must be delivered once each business day. For one thing if we got mail only once a week all bills would have to have their legal due dates extended by two weeks in some cases. E mail delivery isn't guaranteed, mail delivery by the post office IS. So not getting a bill by email would probably be a legal defense for the bill not being overdue. Lot's of laws would have to be changed (and challenged) if the postal service was eliminated or greatly modified.
Until you can buy something on ebay, craigs list, or similar and have the product emailed to you a physical post office is needed. (last time I looked the transporter hadn't yet been invented). The USPS is needed to keep USPS, FEDX, and others honest. The USPS is still the best buy in shipping for media mail (books, computer disks, etc) and if you think that all printed media is going away you are wrong.
I just replaced the batteries in my HP11C for the first time about a month ago! I bought the calculator when it first came out. Hopefully I still have all the manuals that came with it. There was a third calculator in the series that was designed for computer science (would perform math in octal, binary, and hexadecimal). I forget the model number of that one, I wish I had bought one of those too.
In Florida most drinking water is obtained from wells. Deep wells tend to be brackish and require desalination of the water to be usable. It would seem then that a combination use of waste water and deep well water would work. Also the battery sounds like it acts as a desalination device during discharge so it might serve the purpose of both desalination and power generation.
I'm not sure if the SWTP TV Typewriter was out before the Apple II, but it also used the same ideas for putting characters on a TV screen. So did EVERY terminal ever made from Hazeltines to DEC VT100's. Did RCA grab a chunk of their hides too? (And if RCA's patent was still good when the PC came out IBM would have had to pay them off too....except in this case they probably just cross licensed some IBM patent that RCA was in violation off).
"A few members are currently looking how to configure Debian with all the bells and whistles we like and without the ones that Ubuntu wants to push upon us." Linux Mint, Debian edition.
The transmitters in both Voyagers uses an RCA UHF 'pencil' vacuum tube. Amazing that these tubes have outlasted many solid state devices now used for the same purpose. Also the company than made them no longer exists as a technology giant.
This 'tracking' feature has benefits for the owner in that it allows the network to be aware of road congestion and to allow the GPS units to suggest a better route. It also could clue the police to where the traffic is congested and help them respond to emergencies or accidents. It also does allow officials to plan for road improvements and the police to know where speed enforcement needs to be deployed. To avoid privacy issues what TomTom needs to do is to make sure that no identification information (users GPS serial numbers) are transmitted. So long as my GPS sends any tracking/speed information anonymously I wouldn't have a problem with it.
The Chernobyl disaster was part of the plot inspiration for the sixth star trek movie. Just substitute 'Klingon' for 'Russian' and 'Praxis' for 'Chemobyl'. Only the Klingons managed to blow up 3/4's of their moon and knock out the power plant for an entire planet.
I once ate lunch at a 'greasy spoon' at the local general aviation airport before taking my plane out for some practice around the pattern. I forgot to pay for the meal (you have to go up to the resister to pay) on the way out because my mind was too involved with my pre-flight requirements. On the way out of the airport I stopped back in to the restaurant to pay the bill (a bit red in the face), also left a big tip!
That's only if you use the 'store bought' kind. The guy has a 'stil', so he probably makes his own from potato peelings, brewers yeast, and dead flies.
Adjust the ISS stay so that the astronauts bodies weakened condition (from lack of gravity) vs earth's gravity matches what they would be like on Mars. Since Mar's gravity is less than Earth's a shorter stay in orbit would be required, perhaps 2-3 months instead of 6.

Do you all feel guilty for buying an ipad , iphone, or ipod?
The difference here is that Apple had actual product based on their patents. They were NEVER a patent troll.
