This is the problem with turn-it-in. I've found a quick google search to be faster and more effective (my school only does manual professor submissions). Copy and paste random text from the paper and then off to google (which also catches exact quotes from their textbooks that are not cited faster than I can confirm them--reminds me, it's time for a re-read).
I am sure there is a reason that we are exploring plains and minor asteroid-impact craters thus far in our adventuring on Mars. Could someone help out with why we aren't going into the major volcano craters? Aren't they a more likely source for residual warmth and significant levels of the right chemicals for life (I'm thinking of earth's sulfur bacteria)?
For all that the rest of it was a glorious romp through suspension of disbelief land, nuking anything from orbit has never made sense to me--why not "kinetic bombardment" or something similar... probably not the same level of immediate--"ooh, that would be bad" from the audience.
I think I was envisioning more the idea of hot-swappable batteries along the lines of the large volume ammo clips used in some weapons. This might be more similar to the scene in the last matrix movie (yes, yes, I know for purists there was only one movie) where the kids ran back and forth with ammo... only in this case it would be batteries and there might be a pda or helmet display indicating which suits needed charge packs when.
Given how short the unboosted flight range of some of our jets is, maybe it could be used in a similar fashion for thirty second blitzes of heavy enemy entrenchments with support troops with battery packs following behind...
Maybe, and I don't really know if this is reasonable, the government didn't want the publicity videos to include any weaponry use... and maybe the suit can do more than just lift ammo.
If data retention is required, the last option actually provides more security for client conversations and a cheaper management system while still spiting the gov't.
How long is it likely to take to overtax a government agency so that they are decades behind in their paperwork? All that needs to be done is for one telco to take a loss for a quarter and hire an extra warehouse full of people to overburden the system and no one will have to file any paperwork again for several years (consider the American immigration issue--as of last April, the CI folks were up to 1995 on green card requests for people without ridiculous sums of money--my interpretation based on the friend who is stuck in illegal/legal limbo land... can't leave, can't stay).
So print to microfiche and don't have any readers on site. Or have one thin client have access to the data required in the fourth sub-basement accessible only by stairs and three security checkpoints.
While I will grant you that ~100 million people without regular access to good drinking water is bad, this is only 10% of the country (see this link for more on that (hopefully I have that configured right for the google link to a pdf).
The elitist attitude over India is unfortunate, particularly since apparently roughly half that number of Americans have issues with local water having unsafe elements in it (and we have only 1/3 the population of India!). See this NY Times article on the US problem. While for the US, it is an issue of bad standards on water treatment, and it is a separate issue in India, a bit of grace might be helpful in relating to other countries.
No home prototyping machine will be capable of duplicating that precision.
... yet. Further, it isn't just a matter of machining but of the type of plastic used. The Chinese-made megablocks are a lower grade of plastic (presumably cheaper?) and a quick test out in the sun/wind/rain/snow will have the lego block still fairly sturdy and the megablock a brittle piece of trash (though I've heard Lego has changed their formula recently to cut costs:().
There have been a number of court cases on this. Lego's wikipedia entry is helpful. You are right to note the end of the patent. I am a bit confused as to why the trademark was thrown out by Canada, though, as it would seem to be a fairly reasonable trademark to have approved, but then, IANAL.
More than copyright and licensing agreements is stopping Tyco and MegaBlocks from becoming the more popular toy in this area though--if you build something out of Lego, it is much more likely to hold up, even under outdoor conditions than Tyco and Megablocks pieces (though the mb pieces are better than Tyco). Resale on Lego is higher for more than just collector appreciation reasons, the pieces simply hold up better over time.
Somehow, I think that the end result would be something along the lines of the printer industry now. There are a few big players who make a bundle off of the ink. Other players get in with replacement ink using refilled cartridges that (at least in my experience) have a tendency to leak over time. IP lawyers will complain, but again with relation to existing technology, Sony (or someone like them) will sell MP3s (or blueprints) on the one hand and ripping software (or 3D scanners) on the other while complaining about lost profits that actually aren't lost.
I think I am more looking towards the advent of holodeck type work than 3D printers though (and no, I don't mean on the level of Star Trek, but perhaps more along the lines of Paycheck or Minority Report).
perhaps more so that in a communal culture, they are naturally going to put more on the line for their perceived social group. Another possibility is, of course, that their health would be more on the line if they didn't protest.
in the original conversation with the student, it did in fact involve moving the decimal point... we were dealing with numbers ending in zero primarily and this was the start of a ten minute conversation on figuring tips... for the GED student (not public school).
Don't forget, there's always boats and space folding... err, wait, you don't know about that last one yet... boats... definitely still boats... and ultralights.
If he was comunicate his intended thoughts, do grammar + spelling even mattr? Certainly flow of information is slowed (but perhaps only marginally) when having to read bad grammar, and if he is making an argument, his style is important. On the other hand, if his goal is simple communication (and in this case, he is simply offering an opinion), does the "there" / "their" thing matter?
N.B. I am generally regarded as a grammar nazi by my students, but this does not appear to be the same situation.
Probably a while... isn't Parkinson's related to an overcharging of certain neurons? Will a high fat diet be required to avoid neurological disorders and brain damage if we use such a helmet?
as a teacher, there are a number of things I would like to see change in how education is done. So much waste of time (and information) is involved. I recently worked with a GED student who didn't know that dropping a zero gave him 10% (something I considered until then to be fairly basic). I would like to see education take place in smaller groups with more focused practical applications earlier on as well as training in critical thinking that involves more than whether or not A is the correct answer.

yes, but if we let her use them, won't that create some sort of necessary link with aliens invading?

As far as the color goes, they did intentionally change the scheme - but the quality has definitely dropped a bit.

has this caused Google to stop hosting ads (all by itself) in the past?

thank you for your clarifying remarks
Apparently my effort failed with you ;) but importantly, did the OP fail in his communication effort?
