That would be unconstitutional. The the general lack of constitutional understanding in this country is shocking. Not sure that judges have any better understanding though.
Its' been done already. Apple did it back in the early 90s

They could do it again, on the network, if Jobs hasn't thrown out the idea with his iPod reconstruction project.
It's like Formula 1. There are limited but real technologies that trickle down from these kinds of things plus it's entertaining. But I do wonder what are the actual engineering advancements that are coming out of these things? These teams don't seem to be developing new solar cell technologies, maybe we are getting low friction high efficiency electric motors? I guess at the least we are getting some engineers out of it.
In 1975 Newsweek printed an article listing scientist's concerns over global cooling. One of the proposed actions was to cover the Arctic ice sheet with black soot to promote melting. I wonder what would have happened if world leaders had actually taken action to stop "Global Cooling".
In fact that, torque, can be a problem. The Big 3 experimented with gas Turbine engines (lots O torque throughout the RPM range) in the 60's. One of the primary problems was twisting off drive shafts. Electric motors with flat hight torque could have similar problems. The solution is to make the wheel the motor, thus no drive shaft.
Sorry Wrong number. I think you mean HUNDREDS or RPM, or up to 1000 RPM for the typical 4 cylinder engine and less as you add cylinders.
Now for the hair splitting. A typical transmission does have a 1:1 ratio for one of the gears it simplifies the mechanicals. 5th or 6th gear may have 0.8 or 0.7 to 1 or better. However you are correct that the 1:1 ratio does not get to the wheels. The final drive gear will change that, usually in a 3 or 4 to 1 ratio. For most cars above 4th gear some part of the drive train is spinning faster than the engine but the wheels aren't.
Facts: QuickTime 6 uses MPEG4, and AC3 and other stuff. QuickTime 7 can do H.264. Apple has said this is "the year of High Definition Video". Apple has signed up with Blu-Ray. TiVo isn't going to do any development for the Macintosh. DirectTV has MPEG4 plans.
Rumors: TiVo is on it's last legs and may fold in the next couple of years. Current TiVo HD units may not be compatible with MPEG4. Apple has a contract with Broadcom for multimedia chips, probably for cell phone or other portable product but could be for H.264 video device. Apple has a tight relationship with IBM and a growing relationship with SONY. This may bring CELL processors to the Mac. This would definitely make encode/decode of H.264 and MPEG4 faster.
Speculation: It doesn't seem far fetched that Apple may be working a deal with DirectTV for HD devices and possibly some kind of "online video" version of the iTunes Music Store. Let's call it the Apple HD Video Store.
Cities should guarantee right-of-way for wireless and other data transmission. The only reason we have cable/telco monopolies is because cities have monopoly supporting contracts with them. Transmission tower restrictions also make it near impossible to have broadband cell systems. The cities have created the problem not the telcos.
Property rights. Unfortunately a marriage license is the easiest way to say who gets your stuff when you die. A well paid lawyer could help but who can visit you in the hospital is another matter.
OK Fine I'm a big fat 0 because I can't seem to get my reply in the right place. Off topic? not actually this was about privacy after all. Reply in the wrong place, Yes.
It would seem that most voters think a leadership who undermines and attacks a segment of the population is a legitamate and compassionate leader.
Yes and the Left should understand that too. Marriage is a sacred religious institution. The only thing the state has to do with it is recognizing the legal contract between people. The hard part is getting the Left and Right to understand that consenting adults can make any kind of contract between themselves that they want to.

Event the explanation of their warranty is better than anyone else's.
http://www.apple.com/support/products/applecareipo d.html It's 1 year limited, 1 phone call in first 90 days. The extended warranty is 2 years, call any time in the first year.
The complexity of the system will be a difficult problem to overcome. The full auto is a simpler mechanism than the semi-auto. The semi-auto "smart gun" will be a masterpiece of complexity when they make it work.
If they actually make this work then they've solved the physical access problem for computer hardware.

"... as Allchin pointed out some advantages that Microsoft had over Apple's OS: ..."
If it has so many advantages then ship it!
Guess I should have staid in microbiology instead of going to Art School. I did these Sierpinski sieve based pieces way back then.
Glad to see someone doing something a little more significant with the idea.
