This is why I am not motivated to make phone calls or write letters. I've received snail mail from congresstraitors saying they appreciated my support of a bill that I originally wrote to oppose. It's a freaking joke.
I've learned this the hard way at my current position. The powers that be simply cannot think through projects in a technically foreseeable way, and they have a habit of not telling everything they intend to do with the application until after the first beta. I'm learning to plan on worst possible scenarios with everything I do.
Ya know, I'm not opposed to this technology being used to protect police officers and soldiers, but something in me cringes when that is the first suggested use listed in the article. We seem so hell bent on aggression and security that peaceful and scientific uses are at the bottom of the list or altogether neglected. For instance - this stuff might make motorcycle racing even more interesting - both from a rider's safety standpoint and bike technology.
Edwards' position may be seen as less tech-friendly. He would require employers to show they couldn't have given an H-1B job to an American, and he would increase fees for companies that employ H-1B workers, his campaign says.
Odd that.. Edwards is planning to take reasonable steps to protect American STEM jobs during an American Presidential campaign. Are our candidates supposed to cave to Indian IT outsourcing corporations during our elections too?
Ethanol is most criticized, and with due cause. Traditional methods of ethanol production (for instance) deserve criticism. Using only corn kernels is horribly inefficient, particularly when corn is a food source.
But the old ways are changing. The State of Georgia will host the nation's first cellulosic ethanol production facility [dailykos.com]. Cellulosic ethanol production is more than 15 times more efficient than traditional production methods. Any green biomass can be used: corn kernels, corn stalks, corn roots, switchgrass, cane sugar, tree chips, industrial green waste, and even pig shit. This is the future of biofuels.
Range Fuels is building the new facility in Georgia. They do not use any biomass also used as a food source for humans or animals. The Georgia plant will use industrial tree waste from the many paper mills in the region.
Cellulosic ethanol production methods do not require food as biomass. Industrial green waste is preferred and will be used by the new cellulosic facility in Georgia. Importing ethanol or biomass from Brazil is wrong in so many ways. We have resources here to produce sustainable green fuel.
Georgia has many problems, but Sunday sales of alcohol are not among worst of them. Restaurants legally sell booze/liquor on Sunday. There is no law in buying a dozen cases of Budweiser on Saturday night if you want a rockin' party on Sunday morning.
What is more concerning to me is laws like the Atlanta city council is trying to pass, which would make visible bra straps illegal.

Ahh, okay - so you'd rather spend billions of dollars per day to destroy other countries, kill furriners and pay millions and millions of dollars to military contractors with absolutely no federal oversight (such as paying one million dollars for a.19 cent washer? Of course it is you libertarian/republican/whatevers who block any attempt at congressional oversight of military contractors. Frankly, people with your ideology are ruining our country.
FDR didn't destroy America, he renewed our country by investing in common people (not big business).
I intentionally pressed shift for the "m" because I knew it would annoy people like you. Okay, okay, I kid. I have long fingernails and failed to proofread my response before posting. happy?
Although, a case might be made that this is their country too, since they've already sucked away a large chunk of our STEM professional jobs, or work from home overseas.

make one of these for my motorcycle headlight? And make another for my brake/tail light, slightly less intense and red of course.

She decided not to jeopardize her campaign and just didn't vote at all. Obama voted against immunity. Most "blue dog" democrats voted for immunity.
We're enjoying the fruits of corptocracy today.
The price of digital antennae rose by $40 today, amid concerns over turmoil in the middle east.

Not LA as the header may suggest.
Maybe you missed where I said I was not opposed to using this tech for security in the first sentence of my reply.

Rotating corn with soybeans seems like the only way to help put an end to the growing dead spot in the Gulf of Mexico. It's a price we'll need to pay.

Brazil recently sold protected rainforest to industry. They grow tons of cane sugar for ethanol, apparently without any regard to the environment.
