Up here, the entire donation pack, needle, tubing, and bags, is one pre-assembled unit. There's nothing to hook up, beyond putting the bag on the tilting thing and the needle in your vein.
Touch screens are solid state so last a long time. You will be able to control the air con, play music, connect to GPS satellites..
Anyone who thinks touchscreens should be involved with anything that is likely to be manipulated while driving should be hit (At low speed. We want them to learn, not die) by a driver who was looking down to fiddle with one of their stupid creations.
Thou shalt not require visual feedback. Anything the driver is going to use while driving shall be usable blind. That means buttons and knobs that do exactly one thing and provide tactile and/or aural feedback.
The only things that the driver should be looking at are the road, the mirrors (or equivalent. Well-positioned exterior cameras can give much better visibility than mirrors), and the gauges.
Yeah, I'm Canadian, so I'm perfectly familiar with colourful currency.
But as for differently sized bills, that will never happen in the states. The vending machine companies effectively killed the dollar coin without much effort, so I don't imagine they'd have much difficulty blockading any attempt to create differently sized bills. Heck, at this point, they're not even allowed to redesign the $1 bill.
Yes, all the bills except the $1 and $2 are slightly different colours now. The $5 is purple, the $10 is orange, the $20 is green, the $50 is pink, and the $100 is teal.
The ruling in American Council of the Blind v. Paulson required them to add accessibility features to the notes and the colours are one of those, in addition to some kind of tactile feature.
The Fed doesn't print the money, they're just the central bank that issues the money, which isn't the same thing. The actual printing of the banknotes is done by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the coins are made by the United States Mint.
It's similar in Canada, where the Bank of Canada issues the money, the coins are made by the Royal Canadian Mint, and the banknotes are printed by a couple different private companies under contract. Interestingly, neither of those companies is Canadian-owned. One is American (R.R. Donnelley & Sons) and the other is German (Giesecke & Devrient).
Got there by searching post-scarcity Australia, which got me to the wikipedia article on Post-scarcity economy, which mentions the "Australia Project" from that novel.
$3.6 million was the money in transit between buyers and sellers. SR offered a mixing system for payments between buyers and sellers to make tracing who bought from who more difficult. It was the money in the mixer when they seized the server.
$80 million is the estimate of the guy's personal fortune.
Your son breaks the arm on your daughter's favourite doll? Scan the pieces, reassemble it in the model editor, print it, stick the new arm on, and the doll is good as new.
Some little button or knob on something breaks? Do the same.
The current defect levels handbook doesn't appear to say anything about mass. It says a maximum average of "74 insect fragments per 50 grams" for wheat flour.
1. No. The half life remains constant. It's not running out per se, but rather there's not that much margin for loss available. The Voyagers need a significant amount of their RTG's output just to maintain their basic functions, leaving the remainder to power any instruments, so they're approaching the point (sometime in the next 10-15 years) where they won't have enough spare power to run any of them, and then eventually won't have enough power to function at all, though I believe they will have gone out of range of the DSN before then.
2. If it's a short mission, you wouldn't use an RTG to start with. Short==Not far away from the sun, so PV panels are a much better (and cheaper) source of power.
3. An RTG with that little power density is completely and totally impractical.

They also need it on the shelves for the holidays rush.
One side of the story has a spokesidiot who is blond with big tits.
Pictures?
Miss October, 1993.

I'm canadian and i personally think we should get rid of her but some people actually want to keep the ties...
Yeah, but who would we replace her with? Kim Campbell?

Possibly five depending on what TLD we're talking about, as EasyDNS offers .to (Tonga), .co (Columbia), .se (Sweden), and .in (India) domains.
Might it be Manna by Marshall Brain?

You can read it on his site.

Did you know that ECDH stands for Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman? Yeah it would solve the problem of the NSA's request alright...
So? The Dual EC PRNG is long known to be crap and some curves may be contaminated, but elliptic curve cryptography isn't broken as a concept.
Whoever is behind the David Michaels pseudonym. Probably Peter Telep.
Ghost Recon is among the Tom-Clancy-as-a-brand-name properties.
Meltagun.
Why is this hard for some people to understand?
Politics prevent people from doing math.
Parts.

Some little button or knob on something breaks? Do the same.
Into classic cars? Need some unobtainium part? Model it up or scan the existing broken one and print it, either for direct use or for making a mold. Jay Leno has been raving for years about how awesome 3D printing is replacing for obscure parts.
I could print on cakes as a teen. The obvious thing that never happened was having them print out those sugar statues to decorate the cake with.
I'm surprised somebody doesn't have sugar printers since those would have been easier to do way before these early plastic melting ones came out.
They do.
Check out some of the stuff these guys made. They just recently got bought up by 3D Systems.
What would you prefer? DropBox off?

What on earth do they need deep sea espionage for?
Tapping submarine cables.
That's the wrong kind of Plutonium. RTGs need Plutonium-238. That stockpile is Plutonium-239, 240, 241, and a bit of 242.
is it that hard a concept to comprehend?
It is a terribly hard thing to make a man understand a concept when his livelihood depends on his not understanding it.
Depends on how quickly you want it done.
If you wanted it done in 2.5 seconds, 1.21 gigawatts would be perfect.
Who would sign up for that?
Candidates who are already at risk of HIV exposure, e.g. prostitutes.
