no, obama continued the program and wasted money for years, and now while 2012 election is tooling up he and his admin gets a brain fart to shut them down. dumb-asses just like bush/cheney.
"actually, to cut costs that's exactly who we're going to employ to be the new legged and armed forklift operators. what could possibly go wrong?" -- the management
that really is the funny thing about phasers, iron man, light sabers, the hand held railguns of "eraser".....if we had power sources small enough to power things like that, a "Dell laptop battery malfunction" would be like a nuclear bomb. you think a burned penis from a laptop is bad, how would you like a crater in the floor centered on your crotch?
kinetic energy dispersal is easy without warping spacetim, we'll just induce a pulse of higgs bosons in the right places and time to counter normal inertia.
yes, and ditto for their cell phones that they imagine will always dial or text their friends when they want, they think it's a two-way radio that sends a beam right around the curve of the earth directly to their pal. it only turns on and transmits when the user wants. it only reveals location when manually turned on and if the user wants. HA!
if big shit hits the fan, that cell will only connect to the dispatcher of friendly neighborhood gore-tex clad skull crackers, or, at The Mans discretion, seem to work as normal but be monitored.
most people don't write software, your and my needs are really a very, very tiny subset of what people want, it will not drive the market. People would like to be able to plug into big screen and keyboard, but UI won't change.
but most corporate workers get a "cube". and their tasks don't demand an expandable computer, but a server-dependent thin client or, if mobility needed, a laptop is adequate.
You are niche, dude. And your choices for desktop computer are going to become sharply more limited in the next two years.
but it's not a "desktop pc". already seeing those mostly go away in the corporation, laptops are the norm. the grunts get a thin client (a very non-expandable server dependent desktop thing that mostly isn't upgradable device-wise, maybe memory and flash card and ROM image; plus external USB that can be disabled) or they get all-in-one PC that looks like monitor but has DVD drive and ports (again, USB can be disabled)
my employer is a VAR of all the major hardware vendors (ibm, hp, dell, oracle, etc. etc.)
Corporations are going to laptops and all-in-one PC (looks just like a monitor with DVD slot, USB and network ports on it) and thin clients hooked the back of monitors. The traditional PC is already dead.
you can always have a keyboard at home and at work, and just use the tablet's screen on the go. And the nice monitor
what else would people do? the multimedia entertainment or multimedia for work you left out is already there in the tablet world.
when the price plummets to $200 or less a unit, most people will have not much use for a desktop PC.
Your "right" to "own" some specific piece of land is dependent on the public good.
No, that is only a viewpoint, and moreover oes not describe a "right" at all. If a majority can take something away, it is not a "right" in that place.
Nope, not a total solution. I had a problem with them emptying bird feeders for their comrades down below. Put a load of capsaicin powder in the seed since birds don't mind it. Found out one in three loves hot pepper, actually would alternatively eat the seed and lick the yummy hot pepper off his little paws. Just like people, most find overspiced food not pleasant, but many do.
not around here, all the natural gas, water, sewer, cable tv, power lines get their own prettily colored line in fluorescent. I really need to photograph the lawns and sidewalks in the neighborhood the next time there is construction.
Oil has given life to many times more than it will ever kill. human lifespan in the west before the industrial revolution was decades less than it is now, infant mortality more than 50%.
That said, sure pollution is bad, but the smart countries are developing the alternatives to fossil fuel. the united states of dumb-asses just needs to get with the times.

Not just membrane, bone. have a look at some good 3D imaging. this is utter bullshit
The brain is above, I'd suggest looking at some good 3D MRI imaging. what a load of BS this is.

hmm, another way might be via induction from coils in the floor

batteries? why not run the thing on diesel fuel? nice concentrated source of energy. kevlar armor the thank, obviously

cell phone is the most widely used. soon the desktop pc will be gone for most, laptop or tablet or mobile thing will be good enough. for most.
but most corporate workers get a "cube". and their tasks don't demand an expandable computer, but a server-dependent thin client or, if mobility needed, a laptop is adequate.
You are niche, dude. And your choices for desktop computer are going to become sharply more limited in the next two years.
but you have to pulse to allow heat to dissipate. try constant current and the magic smoke comes out.....that is one difference against the the tube.
I note TV and radio stations and particle accelerators are still using the big-ass vacuum tubes.

what happens when the tablets are $200? or $100?
I don' t know about *your* microwave oven, but *mine* has a vacuum tube.
My TV also has one, it is eight years old flat CRT and its auto-adjusted picture is still beautiful so I'm not replacing it.
in the USA, most copper is above ground
fiber has a metal tracer embedded in it

The variation I heard on that joke 25 years ago had cable tv coax.
