Always remember that the rich have done something that was good enough to convince a lot of people to give them money. That's why they're rich. Do you think that simply not working for a living is as great an achievement as inventing a new method to make steel, developing the nation's petroleum industry, or coming up with a better way to search the internet? The rich deserve their riches; the people gave them to them.
I'm sorry, I don't know of any innovations provided by government research that didn't grow out of a project directed either at killing people more efficiently, or demonstrating a nation's greater dick size. Somehow I don't think "tiny batteries that could power artificial eyes" falls into one of those groups ("machine that increases the market for artificial eyes"... that I could see)
Or so the communist slogan goes. In reality, the rich seem to pass their wealth on to incompetant children, who squander it (spreading it back into the economy), and the poor come up with whizzbang ideas that allow them to accumulate wealth.
translation: Some countries have governments that mandate an equal, low level of care to everyone regardless of economic status, prohibiting the rich from funding profound yet expensive advances that would otherwise one day trickle down to the general populace.
The running water and sanitary toilet provided in government-provided apartments were once luxuries enjoyed only by kings; but if the kings had not paid for the first plumbed house, we'd still be walking to the well and crapping in a hole. Get off your ass, get a job, and one day you'll be able to buy your very own nano-eyes, much like you can now buy toilets and cars and televisions.
So, we mate the RFID-proof box containing the card to the RFID-proof box containing the reader, and perform the operation. How is this any different from inserting the magnetic edge of the card, or the smart card copper connection into the card reader?
The government giving money away to citizens who do certain things (or don't, as the case may be) isn't a job; it's actually an anti-job, as some poor schmuck out there has to pay the taxes to support the payout, lessening the benefit he reaps from working (bringing him nearer the point where pulling out of the economy is a tempting option). Increasing the deployment of windmills, however, does provide jobs in the construction, deployment, and maintenance of the towers, along with creating a demand for designers who can make cheaper/safer/more efficient windmills.
Calls from the phone on the plane were $5/min the last time I got bored enough in the middle seat to read the little information card... makes your $55/mo landline seem a bargain!
While Ghost will usually get you an exact copy of the system, I've had many, many restores that have changed the system settings subtly (the visibility of the My Computer/My Documents icons will change, etc). Something like a drive duplicator (that doesn't examine what it copies like Ghost does) seems to be the only viable way to keep Windows from developing problems after the restoration.
If I were the artist, I'd be suing Sony for damages over the bad press from the DRM'd CDs... it's harder to find out if it's a Sony/BMG disc than to find out if it's by one of the artists whose discs were DRM'd.
The point of having a gun as a citizen is so that when the government death squads come for you, you take at least *some* of them with you. The Nazis killed 6 million jews during world war 2. If 1 in every 4 jews had taken down a nazi stormtrooper, it would have cost the nazis 1.5 million soldiers. Instead, they took the guns away first, and killed the 6 million with impunity.
Discrete samples are not an indication of a digital signal. An analog video stream is composed of discrete scanlines, after all. In any case, the actual magnitude of the signal at a given rod or cone is on a continuous scale.
sexyrexy, meet The Slippery Slope. I don't particularly care about *my* mail, but I care about the privacy of others' mail because I may someday need that protection. I'm sure that people who research sensitive news stories (like this one, for example) would appreciate not getting shut down before release because the NSA detected dissent in their inbox.

Google to Buy Opera?

Firefox's default behavior is non-tabbed. Every action must be specially told to use tabs. A few extensions later, and things mostly stay in tabs... mostly. But now that everything is in a tab, all of these tabs are the size of the window. Unfortunately, a lot of pages use a smaller popup window for certain things ("larger view", "details", "specifications") which looks really bad the size of my screen.
Opera's default behavior is tabbed. Everything, everywhere, uses tabs. A page wants a new window? Have a new tab. You have to explicitly tell it to split a tab off into a new window. And all those tabs behave as MDI windows inside the Opera parent window, so pages that want to be small can be small, or I can tile pages, or whatever.
It sounds like a good idea, but this is covering cases where it wasn't anything the bank did/didn't do. What investment by the bank can prevent someone from giving their banking details to someone who sends them an enticing offer via email? Phishing victims aren't new; it's the same as if you walk into a bar with that 100 grand in your pocket and get hustled at a pool table.
I can do a task by doing A then B then C... let's try adding D (extra step!), and see what happens. Ah, looks like the redundant steps are now A and C, saving steps over the initial solution! Prototypes of anything involve a million extra bits; the trip from concept to production is getting the extra bits out.

I think you'd have better luck blowing filtered air into the chamber. You leave the chamber not perfectly air tight, so you stay at about 1atm, but the air inside the chamber will be free of dust, and dust attempting to enter will be blown back out.
While most space companies focus on the cargo going up, Taco Bell is unique in that it has demonstrated business plans, mostly in the advertising sector, that involve cargo coming back down.
I'm not sure that the physical size of the bulb is at all related to the size of the LCD. My 35mm film projectors have a 35mm (obviously) wide area that contains the image to be projected, and the light source is a 1/2" spark gap inside an 8" long bulb. In this case, the length of the light source is almost half the width of the surface being projected.
I think you misunderstand my point. There are many jobs available where mental faculties are not a requirement. There are, however, jobs where a smart worker is better. Unfortunately, you can't discriminate against people based upon their intelligence. I'm not saying that people with a low intelligence shouldn't be given work at all, I'm saying that people should be given work appropriate to their abilities.
My comment on natural selection was not in reference to allowing those unsuited for some lines of work fall out of society; rather it was in reference to how some people would quickly die if given control of heavy machinery or dangerous chemicals without the current occupational safety rules.
As a final point, the problem with cocaine sales isn't the street dealer or the addict, it's the system of organized crime needed to circumvent the drug laws and deliver the product. If CVS sold cocaine, they would probably not engage in gang warfare with Walgreens.
Because actually being physically and mentally capable to perform tasks associated with a job can't be a job requirement anymore. Now, if we get rid of OSHA, we can keep the non-discriminatory policies and let natural selection weed out the bad ones like we did in the 20s...
I don't know about the other organizations you mentioned, but the Boy Scouts will take female members. Nationally, the Explorer (they may call it Venturing now) branch is co-ed, and on a local level I know a bunch of girls who scouted with the boy scouts rather than the girl scouts.
