The big motor in a turbine uses rare-earth magnets.
But the pollution issue with rare-earths is due to the extraction techniques. It's much easier to fix a mining operation than it is to retrofit scrubbers on to every fossil fuel plant out there.
That's a complete myth. One of those power generation methods pulled directly from science fiction with no basis in reality. No one has ever been able to replicate the wind power experiments of the 80's.
The Wii did very well in the console arena, and both Sony and MS scrambled to copy the motion controls. They just didn't amp the Wii U up enough to continue competing this generation. Hand held arena is still nintendo for the discrete gameplay device. Smartphones may be ubiquitous but you still see people putting a lot of playtime into their 3DS.
I've seen people demand nintendo drop out of the hardware business ever since the sega genesis, and it's always a fanboy of the competition who hates "kiddy nintendo" but drools over the games they have.
Riders wish they had bumper to bumper warranty for horses. Sure the thing is 3d printed, but the design schematics are impossible to read and the quality control on the materials needed for construction can sometimes be sub-par. As for security patches, only an idiot lets their horse's anti-virus defense go out of date.
Most of them have no clue about anything but "FBI wants terrorist iphone unlocked."
Case in point, listening to NPR this morning they had an "expert" on that said that apple shouldn't be forced to create a backdoor to add to a phone, but they should be required to unlock any existing phones. And to most of the audience that sounds reasonable, but when you actually take a second to think about it you see blatant political doublespeak. Yeah, apple shouldn't be forced to unlock unbuilt phones because the bloody things don't exist yet. You can't unlock something that currently exists as sand, hydrocarbons, and rare earths. And "any existing phone" will include those yet to be assembled because at the point the feds want to unlock it, it will exist.
Hate polls like this. They're about as relevant as one including my predictions on the next superbowl winner, and I know fuck all about football.
Tax on the connection, not goods purchased using it.
If you let them tax the connection you'd quickly get states and cities imposing either per user taxes or a per meg tax based on 1995 average webpage size and traffic statistics. If the ban had lapsed, you can bet the first words out of my city mayor's mouth would have been "email postage".
Thank god. Can you imagine how quickly the nukes would fly if Un had a PC and could play actual games? 10 minutes online and WW3 would start with the phrase "I'll nuclear launch detected you!"
I didn't know the iphone was designed so ass backwards. Usually it's the security system that polls the sensor and compares the data to what it has recorded. But you're telling me a dumb sensor is actually delegated the task of pulling fingerprint data from encrypted storage, comparing it to its sensor data, and telling the security system to unlock?
You would have made a horrible speakeasy guard during prohibition. Asking the would be patrons if Swordfish is the password they know and opening the door if they say yes.
That should be the new vulnerability metric. Womp rats. "A new vulnerability was found in the D-Star app this week, rating at 3.8 womp rats. CEO Tarkin downplayed the severity of the vulnerability and promised the D-Star app will continue to enhance system stability without interference from any rogue squadrons of hackers."
Also, there's the chance of a stray chunk of metal getting lodged in the connector when swapping a battery pack and the whole thing shorts in a spectacular lightshow. The commentators could use nick names for the accidents like drunken thor, angry zeus, dragon pack, ect...
I don't even have to search google to confidently say someone has made a VR-tan and NSFW images of it. You're probably 20 years late on that prediction.
This isn't biased. This is so far tilted towards capitalist supremacy it's almost horizontal. It's like a piece of anti-commie propaganda from 1969 got republished with some dates mixed up.
I'm actually afraid not cheering the article on will result in my username being put on a House Unamerican Activities Committee list.
The tough on crime crowd, also known as the board of directors of for-profit prisons, has done a fine job of kneecapping public defenders. To the point that in some areas they have as little as 15 minutes on average to dedicate to a particular case. As such people who can't afford a private lawyer are told to just plead guilty and take whatever leniency the judge feels like granting that day, even if there is clear cut evidence of their innocence. Add in mandatory minimums and you get a nice steady stream of easy convicts the prisons rake in profit from.

Yeah, been done already.

You mean the tingly sensation and first degree burn marks on my ring finger aren't from the spark coming back into my marriage?
And the paid shills will respond with "Hah, more evidence global warming is a hoax. The earth is only a couple thousand years old."
Dwarf fortress maybe?
Could revive the old software graphics games of the 90s and get a solid 20FPS out of them.

On the topic of external combustion engines. You must be doing it wrong then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Other way around.

M&M polymer implants. Melts in your mouth, not in your hand.
I'm actually expecting republicans to claim it's an Obama assassination job and try to impeach him.
No chance of a replacement till next year. The GOP won't settle for anyone less then scalia 2.0

Fast internet? You know this is verizon we're talking about, right?
It steals your credit card to order you a $3000 dell then swats your family as a warning.

I dunno. It proudly lists integrated Intel graphics. This looks more like a competitor's assassination piece.
