I fear a patent office that commits blunders on the order of granting patents to breathing; if they are that stupid preservation of our ability and freedom to create and innovate are in very poor hands.
A week later, his fiancée rang his doorbell and then axe murdered him. The hard drive had a folder appear, full of news items: her hateful rantings on twitter and facebook the grisly discovery of the remains in her freezer, her subsequent altercation with police officers leaving two to bleed to death, her arrest, and suicide while awaiting trial.
what's to keep them from "protecting themselves" by restricting small companies and other people,?

waterproof power connections are very simple old tech. As the other replier to your post has implied, carrying around tens of liters of explosive fuel is more dangerous, far more energy in that stuff than in electric car battery system.
Whoosh on you, your complaints have nothing to do with "splintering of internet", your packets are getting to and from Oracle.com just fine and to and from the manufacturer just fine. If sites policies and package shipping procedures cause you problems, that's splintering and alienation of their customer base, bad and shame on them, but the internet is doing its job.
Major thrust of article is that "oh noes, the facebook and twitter content of the web is often hidden behind login requirements and privacy settings".
You know what, I don't care if ALL the social networking via the internet is normally inaccessible and un-indexable and unreachable by search engine. Part of the good thing about the internet is that sites, such as my bank's, can protect data from public visibility. That's not splintering. The internet is only splintered if I can't get to my bank's web server when traveling around the globe. So far, I haven't noticed that problem, even from the poorest third world countries the internet cafes with ten year old Hitachi towers pulled from some first world dumpster running pirated windows XP (with latest updates, mind you) work just fine. That's f'ing amazing, I can pay my electric bill and win eBay auction from Laos or Cambodia and have the stuff arriving home at the same time I do.
Then he raises the specter of content filtering, *might* happen and might fracture internet. Well, the web ain't broken yet.
My point was the universe surprises us with invalidating long-standing models thought reliable. All these new theories, and the rapid rate which they are produced, are rooted in profound measurements that surprise and demand new models.
And some of those things I mentioned aren't theories though they demand radical changes to our theories, CP violation is observed fact. Abnormal redshift of spectrum of distant type IA supernovae are fact, you can argue about accelerating universe not being the cause, but if that isn't it something even more bizarre is occurring and our most basic long standing models need radical alteration. Irregularities in the cosmic microwave background are fact. Orbits of stars in galaxy not newtonian (fact) if galaxy's stars are the only observed mass outside the center, cause might be something other than dark matter but then force of gravity needs modified for long distance, or there is some new force.
uh hah, and the once in 10,000 year meltdown has happened six times in 50 years. oh well, maybe it's just a statistical blip and we'll go the next 60,000 years meltdown free.
I'm actually pro nuclear, but these stupid Gen I and II reactors should be decommissioned.
CANDU's leak 1% of their tritium, most of the 7 bq/L contamination in Lake Ontario is from CANDU reactors. In accidents and incidents, they leak even more.
And to the door, commanded he "Annon Edhellen, edro hi ammen!". But the doors were steadfast. "Fennas Nogothrim, lasto beth lammen!", cried Gandalf, to no avail. Observed Pippen, "but nothing is happening". "Knock your head against these doors, Peregrin Took! And if that does not shatter them, and I am allowed a little peace from foolish questions, I will try to find the opening words........Oh, it's useless!", the exasperated wizard proclaimed, throwing down his staff and sitting beside Frodo, and off his hat to think. Frodo snorted, "cursed copulation with orcs upon this magic word bovine manure, my patience has long since been consumed with this pettiness". Furiously keying in coordinates into his iPhone, he summoned the MQ-1 with the AGM-114 missiles from on high. With a faint sneer curling his lips, he turned toward his peers, advising them in a still voice, "run like hell, for verily the Hellfires come!"
An arrow of fire with an ever longer tail of smoky pume leapt forth from the shoulder of the hobbit, over the head of Legolas who had yet to fully draw his bow, the brilliant bolt curving into the sky at the winged fell beast, and smote it in the belly with a flash and roar. Vile and putrid entrails rained down upon the party. "I shot at him with the FIM-92 Stinger of Galadriel; I felled him from the sky!", boasted the hobbit. "He filled us all with fear. What new terror is this?". Replied Gandalf, "One that you cannot slay with portable Raytheon missile systems, You only slew his steed. It was a good deed; but the Rider was soon horsed again"
we largely don't have conservatives (constitutional limited fed government) anymore, we have Republican pseudo-conservatives. The agenda, against most of your points, instead is:
1. American imperialism (use of military, aid, trade agreements for power and profit of oligarchs)
2. strong on bolstering military-industrial complex
3. get populace reliant on mega-corporate products (big pharmy, healthcare chains, insurance racket and the positive feedback loop of those three)
4. state capitalism for the masses with extreme socialism for mega-corporations including banking cartel
5. working class pushed into wage slavery, debt
6. Yes, liberals are scapegoats, real conservatives are scapegoats, muslims are scapegoats, the homos are scapegoats - the problems aren't we Republican fat-cat's lapdogs, it's these scapegoats
The federal government began an active campaign of destroying the citizen tech workers in the start of the 21st century, after huge economic downturn in 2001 and citizens had huge need for IT jobs. H1B has been system for destroying IT job market for U.S. techs since sept 11, even while noise made about dropping "caps", that was only a third of visas granted if "exempt" categories included. Caps were raised in 2000 to 195,000 from 115,000 and then "dropped" to 65,000 in 2004 BUT "exempt" categories used to pump up total granted number (reapplication, research, etc.)
The real live increases in cancer rates versus exposure to nuclear events are not hypothesis. Just as one example, anyone in the United States over the age of 40 was essentially exposed to fallout from nuclear war (above ground testing), and the thyroid tumor rates are much greater.
In the past 40 years we've discovered crazier and crazier things about the universe. The discovery that the expansion of the universe is accelerating, the discovery that the speed of stars around center of galaxy is nearly uniform (dark matter), CP symmetry violation, multiple quark flavors, irregularities in the cosmic ray background, etc.
We can do things now that were impossible three hundred years ago, fossil fuels should just be our jump start. We can convert the bulk of a plant, cellulose, to various alcohols. We can turn sunlight into electricity or heat salts to run sterling engine
insult? nah, just that I think it is funny to worry about what might happen to information about reality being released, compared to what people do when finding reality being bad or good.
Seeing the interior of those pools is very necessary, it's the crux of the whole matter. Reactor meltdown is no biggie if containment does or mostly does what it's supposed to do. None of the pile of data being released is of any import next to that crucial matter, and all I need is an IR picture.
Geiger counter won't tell you what isotopes are contributing to reading, if gamma from a far source then the 750+ microsieverts/hr at main gate (75 mRem/mr or 25 kcpm on typical geiger), then no big deal. If that was largely from Iodine and Cesium decay, I'd poop my pants because I can ingest a part of that and have it built into my body.

more accurate to say politics is mostly the career choice of idiots and luddites
and I'm just glad no longer can anyone in the room with an iPhone can damage my very reliable gay-dar
A couple of whacks with a nightstick or riot baton, and you'll make all the voiced noises they need.

couldn't a safer version of the experiment be done with a more "dilute" version in mostly nitrogen?
why was there a need to be taught how to inseminate a sea urchin, it's simple really, just take care you don't prick your prick on the pricks
but sperm is created continuously, while a woman is born with her lifetime supply of eggs
yes, power is the time derivative of work
also equivalent to saying power is the time derivative of energy (work-energy equivalence)

Total H1B's granted:
2000: 355,000
2001: 331,206
2002: 370,490
2003: 360,498
2004: 387,147 (cap dropped to 65,000 BUT exempt categories pumped up)
2005: 407,917
Result: many IT people completely driven out of the IT industry, while in 2002, for example, 9 out of 10 new IT jobs taken by H1B holders.
There is ongoing huge problem with H1B workers being farmed out to other companies illegally, and visa holders illegally staying on to work elsewhere.
your argument for dW/dt is much more power-ful
Sure, but is only the mac one crap? that's what I'm wondering
