Are they aware that this is illegal in the USA (and most of the rest of the world), and makes them liable for jail time if they are investigated for it and found guilty?
Internet2 exists just fine, it's just not available to the general public. It's like the regular internet used to be, when it was only available through post secondary institutes, research institutes, etc.
There are definitely gains to be made. The US governments spend as much per capita on healthcare as Canadian governments. And then private sector spending about matches that and that's not even managing a universal care system. Medical and pharmaceutical companies need to be told where they can get off and prices brought back down to earth.
1. Run IPs through a geo-ip database. 2. File suits in the proper courts for each of the general locations indicated. 3. File subpoena for each case to the relevant ISP(s) for the accounts for each IP.
The complexity doesn't increase over time, it increases as computational power does. The target/difficulty auto adjusts every 2016 blocks so that the next 2016 blocks will take 2 weeks (1 block per 10 minutes). At best, you can upset the balance on a short term, then the difficulty adjusts itself and the block rate goes back to normal.
Yes. The rules (what constitutes a valid block) for the block chain can be changed arbitrarily as long as you get the majority (preferably a large majority, otherwise you could end up with a fork) of the hashing power in the network to agree on it. You could expand the precision, change the hash algorithm, etc. all on the fly.
Want to print more currency, no problem just mine more gold.
And when all recoverable deposits of gold have been mined out (including the tons of gold dissolved in the ocean), then what?
Eventually, you're going to run out of recoverable deposits. Bitcoin operates the same way, only the end supply is known, rather than requiring guesswork.
It isn't. This wouldn't be at all useful for preventing blood clots. "Blood thinners" don't thin the blood, they prevent clotting (which in turn helps prevent heart attacks, strokes, etc.). This actually thins the blood, which could be quite useful for treating heart failure.
This is completely different than current drugs. This is a true blood thinner, not an anticoagulant, anti-platelet, or anti-enzyme. It actually makes the blood less thick.
If this actually works and we can find a practical method of applying it (1.3 Teslas over a useful area requires a pretty big magnet), this is a massive boon.
Even Minnesota's intensive and carefully-studied CIP program didn't change the rates of recidivism, merely extended the average time before the subject was again arrested.
It also reduced the severity of subsequent crimes and saved several million dollars via that extension of out-of-prison time.
Problem with that is that it requires epic amounts of water and geography that cooperates to store that water at a sufficient height.
You need about 367,000 litre-metres (367,000 litres of water raised 1 metre, or any equivalent product) to store 1 kilowatt-hour, and that's not accounting for losses either.
Unpopular position? Having 1 or no kids seems to be highly popular these days. Birth rates are already well below death rates in Canada, the US, and all of western Europe. Immigration is the only thing maintaining population growth around here, and even that is falling short in some countries (e.g. Germany). Some countries are trying to reverse this trend, thought with apparently limited success.
Barring something changing dramatically, population growth worldwide will be a thing of the past within 40 years.
Yes, but the USAPATRIOT act would already have expired before those 10 days were up, and they can't extend an expired act. They'd have to run through the process of passing the law over again.
Unmanned exploration is cheap, sure, but it's also bloody slow.
Over a period of 7 years and 4 months, Opportunity has covered a total of 28 kilometres. How long would it take 2 humans to cover a similar area of exploration?

Depends on what you mean by "bank". There's online wallet services like mybitcoin, which one could consider to be like a bank.

Please cite the relevant statute(s).

You missed action #3.

Sasktel over here in Saskatchewan has offered this for years.
The thing is, they can't.
Sure they can.
1. Run IPs through a geo-ip database.
2. File suits in the proper courts for each of the general locations indicated.
3. File subpoena for each case to the relevant ISP(s) for the accounts for each IP.
It's just work they don't want to do.
Let the US government, UN, etc. know that.

It appears that you are correct. My mistake.
A handy test for SNI compatibility can be found here (https://sni.velox.ch/)
small non-sequential unmarked bills are equally untraceable, possibly more so if the bitcoin user neglected actively trying for anonymity.
Both have the same problem, as the issue is in Windows XP's SSL implementation, which all browsers use rather than doing it internally.
Yes, many diseases were transmitted via unpasteurized milk, particularly tuberculosis.

That's possibly because it's actually thinning the blood, not preventing coagulation as current pharmaceutics do.
Also, it appears to go away quickly after the magnetic field is removed.

That only works if you don't need magical decryption (e.g. digicipher 2, like my satellite provider uses) crap in the STB.
also, try £ to get a £
same works for euro and yen signs.
Yes. Deep wells commonly go down as far as 400m.

Which is why it's "Mr. President" rather than "His Elected Highness" or similar
