If you deactivate it, what then? The aircraft is apparently badly designed, having grown out of the limitations of the basic airframe over many years. This was supposed to prevent accidents resulting from this, why would you turn off an accident-preventing system? You'd most likely just swap accidents caused by this system by accidents caused by pilots flying this unwieldy machine.
There's absolutely no evidence for that. Did you just wake up from an utopian dream and are confusing fiction with reality? Where's your thorium reactors and MSRs and their billed costs?
What "toxic waste" are we talking about? Glass, aluminium, silver, silicon? That's not "toxic waste", and in any case, it's easily recyclable. In fact, it's definitely going to be one of the welcome sources of raw materials for future industry, because all these materials are already present in a refined form, as opposed to bauxite or silicon dioxide which need to be refined with significant effort.
Thank you very much, I learned about stellar evolution back in high school so I know how main sequence stars behave. Since we're talking about paleoclimate, those 1+% changes in mean flux are important, not your silly short-term cycles with a 0.1% amplitude.
It matters because the Jurassic was tens of millions of years ago, which is the scale on which solar flux changes appreciably. It does not if we're speaking about mere centuries.
Improved sensory equipment would decrease some computational requirements. So would making the environment more "machine-readable", such as including RF signaling equipment on road signs and markings. And other cars, of course.
The notion that majority shareholders of major news networks are "liberal" must surely be one of the most surprisingly successful right-wing brainwashing campaigns ever perpetrated in the US.
All the things mentioned are much less a problem than the simple fact that new nuclear costs over ten cents per kWh. Nobody's going to build such a thing anymore. Why, when wind turbines cost 60-70% less?

What has Hillary got to do with Uranium One?
Yes, Latin. The Church has been programming people with it for two millennia.
You meant *current* roads.
I'd probably find Maxima more useful than Octave, unless I'd have to do some heavy numerical linear algebra.
Boot from a CD/DVD?
Pixar never used Macs for animation or rendering
There actually used to be MacRenderMan. I'd be surprised if they never used it for anything.

a nearly 1,500-year-old church in County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland, an area once occupied by the Druids
And now the Christians and Druids will have a war in Northern Ireland over whose bacteria it is.
Power beaming. Probably the long-term-sanest way of making long-range continental electric flights work.
Thorium and MSRs scale better than LWRs
There's absolutely no evidence for that. Did you just wake up from an utopian dream and are confusing fiction with reality? Where's your thorium reactors and MSRs and their billed costs?
I love the F-5!

And we DON'T want the massive biodiversity of the Jurassic, no, we don't want more plants and animals and trees, no.
Are you on drugs?

They really don't.
But politicians, not nerds, can introduce Pigouvian taxes to help finance that development.

Yep, billionaires are almost socialists. /s
So, something like this?

Gee, solving multiple problems at once? We can't have that!
Nor are the Chinese, though.
