But not a Dyson sphere. It's called a Baf'cnar Sphere. Named after it's inventor, from the planet Gluk Erusha. Dyson is just some guy that sells weird vacuum cleaners which don't work worth a damn. Have you ever used one to get dirt out of a vacuum?
5) Backdoor and some people know about it. Ideal for governments plus the insiders that sell the backdoor to criminals*. The public is kept largely in the dark: 'Go ahead and trust your tech with bank accounts and private data. We can't see it. Can't you hear us beg the tech companies for a backdoor?'
*Snowden was an anomaly. Not that he stole the secrets, but because he publicized what he found. Gov't personnel selling crap to their buddies in private industry and crime goes on all the time.
Werner Heisenberg, Kurt Godel, and Noam Chomsky walk into a bar.
Heisenberg turns to the other two and says, 'Clearly this is a joke,
but how can we figure out if it's funny or not?' Godel replies,
'We can't know that because we're inside the joke.' Chomsky says,
'Of course it's funny. You're just telling it wrong.'
A society based on slavery, in which about 10% had the vote
Less than 10% of the US population gives enough money to their legislators to effectively command their attention. For the rest of us, the whole representative dog and pony show is sufficient to keep us pacified. Instead of herding us into silver mines at the point of a spear, we play along. So yes, a democracy just like the Athenians.
At first glance, this looks like a novelty. But after reading some of the comments, if you could put some sort of sound attenuation on the turbine exhaust there are some commercial grounds maintenance people that might be willing to pay for such a powerful/lightweight unit.
I have an IBM PC Case (Model 5150) with modern guts. I had to do some sheet metal work to the back to fit modern motherboard I/O ports, the power supply, etc. But yes, laptops are small and there are few standards for board sizes. One approach to upgrading a laptop might be to stick a Raspberry Pi where the old system board was
Because the content provides would like to slice up the market into as many small pieces as possible and maximize the profit from each one.
This approach doesn't work well within the United States, for example, due to federal consumer protection laws and interstate commerce issues. But between countries, there is no such protection, so it's game on to squeeze as much out of each market segment. Strange that multinational treaties (like the TPP) don't have 'single market' consumer protection clauses.
... the trouble I get in when Seattle garbage inspectors find bodies I've thrown out in the garbage. I guess they should have been in the compostable bin.
Media distributors (not the content providers) make a pretty good buck dividing the world up into territories. And demanding a cut from the providers to do business in their town.
Pretty much like the mob used to do for garbage, cabs and contracting in places like New York City and Chicago.

We've told you a million times: Stop exaggerating.
Dude, you go take the test. I'm staying home and getting baked.
At other times, cooling their heels in a jail cell contemplating the judges contempt order for refusing to release information.
That's a world I could happily live in.

Oh, I thought we were talking about a Harley. Never mind.
