I don't like the government having too much power, but I'm not sure I understand why the ACLU is getting involved in this if it is not being done domestically against American citizens. What's done in war time on foreign soil against non-American citizens doesn't seem to fall within the domain of the American Civil Liberties Union.
We are not at war -war has never been declared. Under what doctrine do you think the US should be waging an undeclared war? Consider the likelyhood that the drone is remotely piloted by a civilian contractor operating in the US. Would his action not fall under premeditated murder rather than an act of war?
War sucks... it's even worse when the enemy doesn't wear uniforms and hides like cowards among the civilian populations, using women and children to hide behind. If someone shoots at American soldiers on foreign soil, then goes into a civilian population center, he just put his family and friends at risk. Whether that person is a US citizen or not, I hope a predator drone puts a missile right up his ass.
Could you please explain to me how when American soldiers occupy a city it is so very different than enemy combatants occupying the city that also happens to be their home? If they abandon the city in which they live are they not abandoning and thereby putting their families at risk?
I don't think the ID cards will work; perhaps the solution is to buy our enemies uniforms?
A solution for swapping equity? Yeah they have had it for years. Embedded electronics that monitor the condition of the batteries. Check your laptop, it probably has this feature.
The scenario could go something like this: You turn your battery in, the charge station reads the condition, and the charge of the battery asks if you would like to pay more for a battery in better condition or receive a credit for one in poorer condition. You make your selection and then you get a charged battery. This way you can get a good battery for a long trip or one with a bit less range for commuting. You pay for the power used to charge the battery and condition based on how much your usage pattern degrades the battery. Environmentally this makes sense as it makes bad batteries accessable to be disassembled and rebuilt keeping the users from wasting huge amounts of power (trying) to charge bad cells.
All very simple until the hacks begin - approximately day two.
for idiots letting their phone ring to the annoyance of all in the vicinity.
I swear the length of time ringing is proportional to the product of ring volume and ringer annoyance quotient. Competively predicting the time can be a means of offsetting the irritation of enduring the Geico Boss' ringtone.
Overton left out a gamut of possibilities - this proposal is naive, well-intentioned, and misguided Of course at the same time is is heavy-handed, sinister and authoritarian.
I might dispute the direction the window is being shoved since the assurances about the security of the DNA sound more left leaning (Nanny Government) to me. In any case, the populous should reject such proposals outright.
Nuclear Winter is a myth. Please refer to the dire predictions of Carl Sagan and his peers who predicted Nuclear Winter as the inevitable result of the the fires set by Iraq during the first Gulf War. Apparently, physicists know little of weather prediction, though I would be hesitant to suggest that anyone question them about their predictions on global warming.

Isn't that a bit like drawing the erroneous distinction that because Typhoid Mary was asymptomatic she was not sick? She was a vector for the disease because the disease resided within her. If the software resided on the phone it was installed.
You state that a recorder could do something that you had no reasonable expectation that it should, but you are upset that an iPod Touch could not do the same when you had no legitimate reason to expect it to. I don't understand the sense of entitlement people have that these types of devices should be general purpose devices when they are not sold as such. The designers may have taken out the ability to handle random file types for legitimate reasons such as avoiding becoming a vector for PC viruses. I am sure that had you received a virus via an iPod you would be most unhappy and questioning Apple's decision to allow any file type. In the same vein, the user agreement tries to assure that the iPhone is not compromised. Designers have to make choices and those choices won't satisfy all consumers or developers.
If we allow the infrastructure to be weakened by depending on sunshine and wind then we deserve to pay predatory prices whenever the wind stops and the clouds roll in. Remember the way PG&E raped its customers by creating "artificial demand" with Enron? Well lets just make that happen five times a week from now on. It is great economics... as long as you are the supplier of last resort. Unless we make each generator responsible for meeting the demand curve of the consumer, we will be in the position California found itself in a few years ago.
If the name is the IOC's IP, even if only temporarily, then their gripe is with Ms rhymes with Bonn. She presumably signed a contract with Uvex and also presumably with the IOC. If the IOC can enforce anything it would be against her not the company. The IOC's rights do not negate an existing contract which allows Uvex to use her image.
Supercover says that these false claims are usually quite easy to spot.
It said: "iPhones, like most mobile phones, are actually very difficult to damage.
Or to paraphrase, "We sell insurance at rates that would allow us to replace 1/2 of the customers' phones even though the actuarial tables say only 1/20 should actually have the need. Thank goodness we can arbitrarily deny a claim."
None (zero) of the planned US reactors are significantly different than existing reactors in the US. They will be PWRs (Pressurized Water Reactors) and BWR (Bolining Water Reactors). They will have a fewer failure modes due to reduced component count, better passive safety, and many failure scenarios are better than existing plants.
As someone who has worked for two decades for companies supplying primarily to this industry, I am disappointed that thorium molten salt and pebble bed reactors are not planned.

I noticed that only half of the participants had makeup on - the remainder simply relied on their basement pallor.

I think New Mexico and Arizona might object.

No, they just entered into talks on the selling price.

So far, all of his 72 contracts are foreign, guaranteed by letters of credit. None in the U.S. yet. What does that say?
Americans are not the stupidiest people on the planet?

It seems to me the fraud cuts both ways.
