Well clearly you don't want anyone who got good grades being president. That means they would be an effete snob and could not understand the concerns of the common folk. Someone who was a C student and yet achieves a powerful position is considered clever enough to game the system and is to be admired by all.
Although I appreciate the intent, I am finding RequestPolicy a little difficult to deal with. How do you whitelist things that are "really" part of a site? Some places have 50+ items to wade through. Most sites have pieces that are invisible unless you allow everything. Push on a button and there is a warning that an email from Autoweek is sending you to an Autoweek site. Why is this a concern? You can't tell the bad actors by looking at site redirect names.
Cheap digital watches and cell phones are not rugged enough. Rado Diastar for me. Carbide case with sapphire crystal. Drop on a tile floor? Crash into glass doorknobs? Drop into ocean? No problem. Now if Panasonic made a Toughbook watch, I might switch.
Then when my Watson has a problem I can have my Watson call IBM's Watson and they can just work it out between themselves. Or the universe will explode because my Watson is really running IBM's Watson in the cloud...
Sorry motorcycles do not save money even if they didn't use any gas. Tires are so expensive on a $ per mile basis that fuel costs are irrelevant. My bike gets the same mileage as my wife's Prius and the tires only last 9000 miles. If you want to save money, get a SCOOTER.
Bought a Prius for my wife in 2007 and thought I was getting a tax credit. But noooo. Did not qualify due to our income level. Of course you don't find that out until after the purchase.
If you go to the store and buy a new USB flash, isn't that still an unknown device? I have tried not being the admin on my home computer and it just doesn't work. Lots of things require admin status to install (my wife's TaxWise tax prep program for example). When I worked at Kodak they ended up giving many engineers and scientist admin privileges because we were constantly bugging IT about installing drivers for strange image processing hardware, National Instruments software, programming environments etc.
You don't even need special resist pens. You can use ordinary indelible markers to draw on the copper and then use it as resist to etch the boards. Done it myself several times. OK if you only need one board for prototype.
As far as the original article goes, silver loaded paint has been around for ages >40 years. It is called silver print. Not sure I would describe it as a way to make cheap circuits since I remember it being pretty expensive. See http://www.mouser.com/search/refine.aspx?N=4294953381&Keyword=silver%20print
0.3oz is $22 for the pen-type dispenser.
Agree completely that the next "novel" terror gem will be setting off explosives at the security check point. Makes perfect sense to set it off at the place it will be detected. Plus you get to blow up a million dollar scanner as a bonus!

Bitcoin?
I seems to me that cell service goes down in times of crisis. Major power outages, 9/11 etc.

A fellow grad student of mine made a high power op-amp that had temperature-based cooling fan speed control in the enclosure. That was in 1970.
Now that money is considered "free speech", what do you expect?

Agree Lotus Notes is horrible. We had to use it at Kodak. Never got used to it. Everything is a database. Really? Better than IBM PROFS though.
Pay me $500,000!
I have a patent on his misspelling of communication. It conveys a particular angst or ennui concerning the futility of getting your point across.
For that pitiful sum all you're going to get is a lame version of Skynet. Suspected loss of lives? Phfft! Let me know when the human race is 50% gone.
"I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that." "I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it."
Tell the same story over and over without remembering that they've done it. How do I know this? Let me tell you...

So where can I buy one?
Once again showing that there are no good batteries to be had.
You tricked me into clicking on a link that had an ad for Glen Beck!!! ARRGGH!
Have some respect. You need to call them "Bubba".
I just posted the ACSI link on my wall on Facebook. Lets see if they complain. I'm only on it because my grandchildren are on it. Really. Honest!

The people responsible for that database error have been sacked...
