What happens when the insurance companies raise the normal rates to 10x what they are now, and offer a "discounted" rate only to those that have this camera installed? That would effectively force it on everyone without the help of any new laws.
>>You can't do that with x, y and z coordinates.
Yes you can. If each coordinate axis has a finite number of members, you can actually reduce the dimension to a single space of dimension 1. Index = x + y*x_members + z*x_members*y_members +...
The average EV-1 size electric vehicle consumes around 400 watt-hours per mile. Somewhere around 140 miles is a good estimate.

You have a set of one time use authentication keys on the satellite. The first x bytes of your new firmware image must match the current key or you ignore the image and go silent for a known amount of time.
'Having a greater number of transistors on a chip does not make a processor "smarter" or capable of doing something a less populated processor can. It only gives it the potential to be much faster (and consume more power).'
That's not really true at all.
Try doing a Fast Fourier Transform on a 4K eeprom full of data when the microcontroller only has 1K of ram.
I think the idea here is that they end up spending more money on fuel.
At 20 miles/gallon, driving costs about 15 cents a mile for fuel.
They would have to have a really big tank to save some money.

Actually with laser sintering you can print the metal directly.
Even though they may have cured AIDS (car) there are still other STDs to worry about (motorcycle).
I know what you mean, but she always thought I was saying "E I S H E I S H".
You could always attach explosives for later use. Perhaps undetected.
No problem. Just have the deaf wear a big D with a circle around it on their shoulder...

Don't hold back on the lens flare either!

Try that on a Therac-25.
>> What's the point?
Because we can. Even if the only result was to inspire the next generation of brilliant engineers, it would all be worth it.

That huge pickup or SUV that joe six pack drives already costs close to 40k.
So a 10k small frame and 30k worth of batteries is not outside the realm of possibility.
The W54 nuclear weapon was basically a cylinder about 11" in diameter and 16" in length.

At 150 dollars per barrel the crude oil itself costs around 3.50 per gallon.
He who controls the carbon, controls the universe!
Wrong, generators are on the order of 90 percent efficient.
You also have to take into account the mines for coal and uranium.

I think those small Christmas lights use about 0.5 watts each on average.
Some assumptions:
0.5 Watts per bulb
25000 Bulbs
10 Cents per kilowatt hour for electricity.
Lights run 8 hours per day.
0.5 * 25 * 8 * 0.10 = 10 dollars per day
You were modded funny, but what would happen if you stored the material in a magnetically guided vacuum ring at 0.99c?
