The TV indeed you can choose not to have; the GSM seems a bit harder.
Maybe the solution is to separate functions: having a minimal-but-tetherable phone, and pair it with a small tablet that you (may?) control better, or at least whose data won't immediately belong to the phone supplier?
I for one use a Blackberry Playbook (walled garden, but no relation to the A/G duopoly, and there does exist a couple of ad-filtering browsers), after trying to wait till the first Linux tablet...
I was part of the Huygens european team in the Cassini/Huygens mission to Titan. On the US Cassini orbiter, there was a microphone, which was turned on when Cassini went to flyby Saturn, passing in the clear between two rings. The craft had been reoriented at that moment to get the large high-gain antenna facing speed, so as to protect everything between, and because of this the key crossing moment happened without Earth contact --only afterwards was it due to reorient back to Earth and tell us whatever happened. Well we definitely did record sand/dust impacts with the mic, and I can tell you, even 'a posteriori' it was quite frightening to listen...
In France we have one such dead zone, consecutive to huge pork sewage dropped at sea. Enormous algae blooms result in beaches covered with thick rot algae (instead of sand), which sucks so much oxygen out of the air (or produces so much other gases, I don't remember exactly) that this kills animals passing by the beaches (wild boars, horses recently). Mind you, how this helps tourism there;-) Needless to say bathing is forbiden. Local politicians respect the numerous pork farmers, so nothing at all was done until the recent animal deathes made headlines. But I'm not sure anything will result, since that's all the local economy that should evolve.
At least in the OP the locals haven't evolved too much dependency yet.
The reason I won't read the original material is this. Three-digits precision, after this long explanation that it all depends on so many immensely variable environmental features, from water to bacteria.
I didn't ask for an error bar, no, but just some rounding that makes sense. Three digits here MEANS they are just not serious.
maybe the french flag was replaced with french fries long ago...
I remember some posters here indeed changed their sig. to some insult to the french national motto, you know, 'liberty/equality/fraternity' where US has 'in God we trust'.
We still have our issues here, like dying from silliness with the most important european homeopathy lab and huge sponsor, but still, we try to survive reasonably...
I'm definitely interested into this, heard of Serval before -probably here-, but when going to your site I definitely don't find how I could register, be it for $20/month, nor even am I capable to find if my current devices (Nokia N9000, Blackberry playbook, macintoshes...) indeed have applications available. Please see no offense, definitely, but if I'm wrong do show me where to go! (or then get a "register your email to be warned when..." button on page 1 of the site?) H.
We kicked TV out before having kids. They now have left us, and still both of them (3) don't have TVs. Which doesn't prevent them to spend the very same amount of time they'd waste on TV, playing on internet. So OK, 'internet' there is too wide a notion, they don't spend all their time on roleplay, and indeed they got good success in their studies. But compusive screenwatch is there, still...
I painfully remember the time, just months ago it seems, where I'd have come here barking about my use of iCab on macintosh, aka the browser that invented adblocking (years before Mozilla just existed). At the time being, all I am left with is this feeling that either you are on tablets, or you are dead. And as tablets are all walled gardens for now... (O Linux, when ô when will you come to tablets?) Let's get back to my Blackberry Playbook now. At least I still steer outside the duopoly world. And there is one, yes one, adblocking browser there...
Indeed, artificial gravity by rotating an Apollo vehicle with a counterweight was actually performed in the early stages of the program. I'm not really sure how this can be considered too daring now, but also here in Europe nobody is considering it anymore...
Not that I believe in its interest at any rate, but there is a guy that proposed this to UN in 2000, and has been announcing launch dates every two years since then...
At least he made a living out of it for himself, and seems sincere...
I am the most basic user here, only able to clumsily setup a php/MySQL script. I quickly read the how-to for all three LiberTree, Friendica and Buddycloud.
Honestly, I am capable to install Friendica, and absolutely no other, would it be just because I only handle shared-hosted sites.
Now, I don't know if this ease of install will be important for their success or not... H.
For instance, we can prepare a law according to which, if the result of a vote are cheated by more than 10% according to fraud parameter fi from the paper, then this vote is canceled.
And this even could have precise granularity, like the vote is canceled only in the regions where this cheating is detected.
And we also can add, we ban the citizens that handled the vote bureau, not from voting again, but from being bureau delegates for 10 years.
Of course it is useful. Speaking of which, I'm now waiting for an application worksheet to test my own election here, for which I have all the regional data in a newspaper I kept.
Reading the original white paper, (http://agelab.mit.edu/files/AgeLab_typeface_white_paper_2012.pdf) a salient feature is definitely, for all tasks, all measurements, all graphics: women react noticeably faster --and by far... Then the poor guys indeed have a different lag time according to the font, OK...
I once got my stomach observed -the classical observation, no surgery. The process is a bit shocking (mainly because once you have this big tube inserted in your esophagus you cannot talk anymore, and it's more impressive that you may think) I can say they start with an empty stomach, and inflate it (with just air, through the tube) so yes the visibility is near perfect. Then within my observation they took samples: basically, they have a sharp tool that will just scorch a bit out, and basically they leave the wound unattended, and it heals, and you even don't feel anything neither at scorch time nor after. (you do feel the scorch traction mind you, a bit like when a dentist throws a tooth away from your mouth: 'hummph' -hey what what is he doing? but then it's just over;-) So, while definitely not a professional myself, I'd say reaching the stomach wall and getting through it *is* easy and not consequential, apart psychologically...
Well I for one recently bought my very first Blackberry device (a 64-Gb Playbook, when the prices fell) for a very simple and clear reason: I want to stay out of Apple/Google duopoly. I have been waiting for a linux tablet for a couple of years; now I feared to really turn too old before they come (I swear, I'll buy one anyhow). While I am a bit pissed off by the ultraserious security and obviously definitive user-won't-ever-be-root feature, I find it has some positive side effects (you can lose the machine: nobody will access your data, and just buy another, all your bought applications are back). Above all, I discover something I just didn't expect: concerning software availability, it indeed has reached, for me, the minimum level of 'floatability': various browsers of which one features adblocking, honest offline RSS viewers, a port of the Android Eye-fi receiver that does backup all my DSLR photos in the minutes I take them, young but reasonable file managers handling ftp and all your cloudy private equivalents, offline wikipedias... So, yes, last year's Blackberry tablet is indeed bearable, for me. And does not belong to a monopoly. I fully understand, to devs it's obviously more interesting financially to work for Apple or Android. It's just I'm really concerned about monopolies, I suffered from some personally, and it's something I still cannot describe easily, and wouldn't wish to my worst enemy.
"campaign" I don't know, but money I do. I'm in my 50s. I have sons that are young engineers, and as such I regularly meet a range of their young colleagues: somehow I have a view of the 'young engineer' population here in Europe.
If one thing is clear within this 20~30 people group, it's that the richest of them BY FAR are the ones that are employed by an ad-targeting firm. And the firm itself is HUGELY profitable, recruiting as much as they can, etc.
So, definitely there is money running, pouring, flooding even, presently in the ad-targeting business.
Not so long ago, back in times when a single country still could afford to develop original things (like the vertical-takeoff-landing Harriers), the Brits seriously considered a submarine carrier. I remember one could even land crafts while the sub was almost entierely underwater, but the elevated landing spot (which was a mast in fact)...
There is a Dutch project, patented even, that proposes to baseline some very large kites attached to a circulating rope: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laddermill I'm not sure it'd really be this efficient (indeed like said in OP, the highest wind energy is at larger altitudes), but getting a broken lanyard there probably would just result in a giant kite landing on my roof, something I'd definitely prefer to drinking liquid fluorine;-)
Add to this these ship pathes are extremely economic (compared to a full continental tour), and you get a perfect race between Russia and Canada for who'll provide the best icebreakers, the best communication satellites, the best meteo, radars etc. Such a move from the russians may trigger something else in Canada just for not being late (which indeed would be good...)

France cannot afford 1M€/year for a fine revenue of 150€/year.
Even being totally sold to the RIAA one just *cannot afford* it.
