Someone is driving on the freeway at night going 75 wearing the smart contacts. As a van is passed on a curve all the LEDs in the contacts light up fully. "Single car crash", states the report, "must have fallen asleep".
And what happens if the nuclear part were to separate over the United States and accidentally detonate? Oops!
It would be devastating of course. The US economy would collapse, and then the entire world economy would collapse with it. Imagine the aftermath of 9/11 multiplied a thousand fold. Russia would fall in to chaos as first it's economy, then its government crumbled.
The big countries understand they are too interconnected to directly war each other. That's why we have Afghanistan.
I don't think you can be a carrier of a virus the way you can a bacteria (i.e. Typhoid Mary)
The flu is spread through it's own symptoms: coughing, sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes. If you don't have symptoms, you won't spread the virus.
The same good habits, washing hands and covering your cough, should cut down any small risk of a healthy person being a transfer agent between two other people.
As for the cloning.. yes, that is of course an issue. But there are always tradeoffs to technology. And there are ways to minimize exposure, such as only transmitting an ID number instead of full personal details, which will be matched to your entry in a secure online database.
It's that "Secure Online Database" part that catches in my throat.
$100,000 over 25 years is $4,000 a year? Can I get the name of your bank please, 'cause I would seriously love refinance my home on those terms. That alone would save me more than my total utility bill.

And a flying car in every garage...

Gives new meaning to BSOD!

Even if I'm immunized, can't I be a carrier?
I am not a doctor, blah, blah...

They've put a single LED in a contact lens, so now we have Augmented Reality.

Because gravity pulls straight down? Which way would you expect a building of that size to fall?
which they promptly paid by credit card.
I think maybe you're talking about dorks, not geeks?
Please don't take off your shock bracelets before hijacking the plane. Thanks, Delta
No, but I might be willing to actually start calling it GNU/Linux.
You could just delete truecrypt (securely of course) and then download/re-install it on the other side of the border.
