That's because linux is free and therefor deprives an honest company of it's god given right to profit. Why would you freely admit to such unethical behavior, how can you be so proud of stealing caviar from the mouths of CEOs? You monster!
By call them "cheap smartphones" you invoke images of flimsy feature-less hunks of plastic that can barely qualify for the smart- prefix.
Try using "less expensive" next time, the tablet and smartphone markets are flooded with chinese knockoffs and 3rd shift runs that very much qualify for the "cheap" designation. It's best to draw a very clear line between what you mean and what they make.
Except that's not the same thing. If the US had the same laws as tailand, anyone even remotely related to fox news would be shipped off to Guantanamo for the crap they make up about the president on a daily basis.
You can walk around america with a t-shirt that says "Obama sucks donkey balls!" all you want, you can't in tailand with a comparable shirt about the king.
Spam? You wound me sir. I've done a mesh network before, just a simple little 2 router install for a local coffee shop/organic grocer. Their request was a wireless deploy for their customers with something to deter leechers, but also unlimited access for their own computers. Also, cheap. So I just tossed a pair of routers up (one in the office connected to the DSL line, another freestanding in the back to cover the patio seating), then setup the public wireless open with a splash page set on a 30 minute timer. Click through the splash page to log in, 30 minutes later you lose access till you go through the splash page again.
It was easy, though the dashboard page is a google maps page where you register the geo location of the routers. Nice for topography, but obviously part of google's location awareness system (just tweaks a privacy nerve).
http://www.open-mesh.com/ The single band series is.11G mesh, $60 for a router and another $20 for the outdoor enclosure. The dual band does N, $100 for a router and $40 for the enclosure.
Either way you get mesh networking that's really damn simple to configure and has a public and a private network. Public can be open or encrypted, supports individual bandwidth limits, and has a splash page feature for logins or selling airtime. Private network is encrypted and unrestricted.
Love mesh networking. No cables, network topography isn't set in stone, you just toss another router into the mix wherever needed and you can cover wherever you want.
Except then the music companies could just run a small outlet store that keeps 1 of every album they own in stock, and hire someone as a "service quality tester" to go in and purchase one of every album once a year (or once every 2-4 years).
Make it require independent retail sales and customer purchases? Massive discount to said store owner for the albums so they could keep them in stock, and a running "promotion" where if someone purchases 1 of each album and sends the receipts in they get prize money equal to the entire purchase cost plus a modest salary.
Wonder if this could be used to create a GPU accelerated sound system? Take the scene modeling, texture objects based on their acoustic properties, create light sources for every sound source, and output the scene to a sound device that translates the visual frame into a soundscape for output.
Or am I just not up to date with audio acceleration technologies (since I've never upgraded beyond a cheap headset).
Probably by selling futures or some other stock market derived scheme. Lock in your buyers before you even start producing so when china pricedumps again you've got a buffer.
Plus the nazis valued science much more than we do currently. Research today with the same backing and intensity as they had back in WWII would give us rainguns and man portable laser rifles in a year.
At work we spent a couple months this summer dealing with weekly virus infections of DWH*.tmp "generic trojan" on half of our computers, and per policy if the guys running the symantec servers see two or more hits on a single computer, that computer must be wiped and reinstalled. Yeah, it took us two months to convince them it's a problem with symantec finding it's own temp files, not an actual virus.
Nothing really special about the raw sensory signals involved there, it's what it's wired through that makes it enjoyable. And once we can rewire neural signals like that, why bother with porn stars? Rewire your own scalp signals through there, redefine the term "headbanging".
In short, mandating by law that this be installed in a specific spot facing a specific direction would generate too much backlash. Snub nose trucks with no real dash to mount things on, motorcycles, alot of the little extreme fuel effeciency "cars" you see as concepts and sometimes production models. Not to mention cars with a right side driver configuration (student driver cars and foreign cars). Fringe cases sure, but the people who can afford to have a european sports car shipped over and registered for street use tent to also have the cash to make a lot of noise in government buildings when something annoys them.
Open Source coffee shop might actually be a good gimmick. Cheap coffee and some baked goods, but have the recipe book out for people to look at. Could take suggestions from people on how to modify the recipes, which should eventually lead to a recipe tuned perfectly for the local preferences.
Do the roasting for the coffee on site too, and sell the raw beans to people who want to do the roasting themselves.
Electric vehicles can benefit from upgrades in battery tech even if it's a radically different electricity storage medium (say a supercapacitor). Electrons are electrons, motors don't care if the wattage comes from a LiPo, LiAir, Supercap, NiMH, NiCad, or even lead acid... Besides, in 3-4 years we'll have Mr Fusions and our electric planes and cars will be ready for a drop-in replacement. Combustion vehicles will require a major retrofit.
Combustion vehicles would generally need an entirely new engine if someone discovered a more energy dense fuel.

Till you get a plant manager who feels inadequate as a man, who chops off the catalyzer to put in glasspacks instead.

Guessing he's a vegan with an agenda. Probably make a good study case for a paper on meatless diets increasing bad decision making.
I mean really, they already made the huge mistake of giving up tasty animal flesh, someone should study what other bad decisions vegans make.

Wait two more years and your Ford Mr Fusion will get 8km/chocolate bar and another 2km from the wrapper.
Someone's doing it wrong then.
I think you meant "Teenage Youth!"

Macgyver made it in an episode once. Just a 50/50 mix of iron rust and aluminum If I remember right.
