Time. Billions of years is a long time to try various and sundry things. Although it probably didn't happen this way (likely there were multiple attempts at 'life'), it just takes once....
Often they simply trout out half truths and over simplifications in point after point of seemingly endless paragraphs of supporting verbiage which provide little enlightenment.
Well, to be fair, it is economics. Not sure what else they could do.
My order to shut down power / comms to the cell towers trumps your open - source baseband (if you even managed to get one going which is highly unlikely).

Your local despot (or US Federal government, what ever makes you unhappiest).
All you have to do is turn off the power to the towers. You don't have to fiddle with individually shutting down handsets. Or just jam the frequency. If it's AT&T they don't have to do anything at all, the network will just get busy and quit working.
Reminds me of a 3Com Audry another product that had marginal appeal and bad timing.
In a lot of ways, Jobs was lucky with the iPad but he was also way smart in getting the iPhone out the door and accepted. No one, and I mean no one, had managed to get tablets to be anything but a niche item before the iPad. And people tried.
but where I live there is a generation of people who can't spell or read efficiently and this is reflected in how shallow their thoughts are.
Where I live, students score higher than anyone else in the state and regularly compete in National finals in spelling and composition contests. People are still pretty shallow.
A walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet.
The police are allowed to use UAVs for any number of purposes many of which are questionable in my humble opinion. Does the FAA ruling affect them? No. Thought as much.
I would imagine so. Police helicopters still have to follow FAA flight rules. Yes, they get exemptions for things, but they are covered by regulations nonetheless.
TFA is a little vague about this. It sort of implies that they are raising plankton and that the breakthrough has been basically plankton husbandry. If that is indeed the case, then the ecological footprint of this may be reasonable (we, of course, don't know what it takes to grow plankton on an industrial scale).
If, however, they are actually harvesting wild plankton, and plan on doing this on an industrial scale, then I forsee some problems. Plankton are at the core of the oceans food change. Take a bit enough bite out of that and you've trashed the ocean ecology.

Life finds a way.
Even rocket scientists have managers. And managers have VPs and VPs have to talk to the CEO about shareholder value.
As always, shit rolls down hill.
You don't need a giant dish. You see those Iridium handsets? That's all that you need. The newer ones fit in a cargo pocket.
HDD prices are high? Not from any sort of historical perspective. ALL the storage solutions these days are cheap, cheap, cheap!
Bring it on! Toss another SSD onto the cart!
Anybody remember $1000 10 MEGABYTE drives?
Cheap cheap cheap!
If you read this everyday, you'll be amazed at how informed you will be.
For various definitions of 'informed'.

Pieces parts. Parts is parts.
This is why we MUST have an open-source baseband.

Oh just post it on Slashdot. We'll do the rest.
If we have 'Mr. Fusions' then everything would be different.
But we don't.
Twitter feed. This is the 21st Century.
Scary thought, that.

How ironic.
So? We're talking about TV and the Internet.
That's interesting. It's from Saturday Night Live. I'm in America, YouTube says I can't view it in this country.
I just love the Internet.
No problem. Just go back to bleeding and purging, trephenation and charging an arm and a leg.
A natural law? Ok, what is it and why is it 'natural'?
Local attitude is local. News at 11.
10:00 where I live.

You would think so, they're just wee critters, but one gets the feeling from TFA that this is the secret sauce.
As usual, not enough info to go on. Too busy to research it further. It's not raining and my boat needs (more) work.
You must be fun at potlucks.
Maybe he meant orthogonal.
