But then it is the computer doing the killing not the gun.
Yes, shooting implies a gun, or some type of projectile, like an arrow or a rock from a slingshot but shooting != killing.
It is 100% accurate is that guns do not kill people. Just like hammers don't hammer nails. It takes a person, or in the case you mentioned, some type of automaton.
People using guns kill. People using knives kill. People driving cars kill. People using piano wire kill. People using rocks, sticks, baseball bats, frying pans, pillows, rolling pins and poison kill. The objects themselves do not kill, they can be used to kill.
If you take down your missiles for a parade thus rendering them unable to be used , and your enemy has the knowledge of the parade, can you guess when your enemy will attack?
I commute to work every day. Why don't eco-people pressure companies into allowing more telecommuting? If my little trip to the grocery store is so damaging to the environment, then I can't imagine what my daily commute is doing.

Apparently you have never financed a vehicle. The bank holds the actual title, you only get a certificate of registration. You cannot sell the car without the title, and the bank will not release it without the loan being paid off. So if you tried to sell the car, the bank would take the money and you'd end up with nothing.
You know, I actually like the idea of the fork. I have lost 30 lbs so far by doing 2 things. Decreasing portion sizes and concentrating on not eating fast. Simply decreasing portion sizes is good, but if I ate too fast I would still feel hungry and want more. Slowing down the speed of my eating seems to have given my body more time to signal the brain that I am slow, and having the fork would have been cool because during a good meal with friends, the last thing I wanted to pay attention to what the speed of my eating, and the fork would have been a handy reminder to slow down.
Most US companies have eliminated carryover of vacation time/PTO. Most companies no longer have the concept of sick time. Your situation is not the norm.

Shouldn't it be increasing sequencing speed, or reducing sequencing time?
As someone familiar with the more extreme religious crackpots out there, they would simply say that judgment happens after someone dies and the fact he is still alive has nothing to do with what awaits him.
No grade school should be teaching about evolution or creation, probably not even the high schools. They should instead give the students some fundamentals, reading, writing, speaking, mathematics, general sciences, history and critical thinking so that they can study things like evolution or creation later in college when they can make an educated choice to do so.
Too many school are pumping out total nitwits that know nothing but evolution and sex education. They leave schools not knowing basic math, half of them think an innuendo is an Italian suppository, but they know how to masturbate and put on condoms like experts. Money isn't going to fix the problem. Giving them the skills that they can build on will.
Funny how in the end you still leave it to where money can be raised by the government.
Modify your plan to protect the privacy of the driver by:
Require all cars to have a GPS system that is always on, calculates the car's speed, checks the car's location against a database of published speed limits and keeps the car from being able to exceed the posted speed limit.
That would eliminate the need to report anything to the government.
The only downfall is no more revenue from speeding tickets.
Natural language communications?
Hamper is a verb which means to hinder or impede.
Will the moon be impeding or hindering the shower? Nope.
The shower will still be happening in full force.
The view of the shower will be hindered or impeded by the moon.
Grunts and clicks were once considered natural language, it's too bad we keep regressing when it comes to the spoken or written word.
The headline had me thinking that the moon was going to be intercepting all those meteors. Turns out they meant "Viewing of the Perseid Meteor Shower To Be Hampered By Full Moon"
If that would have been too long of a headline then perhaps "Full moon will hamper viewing of Perseid Meteor Shower" would have been better
Same number of words as original headline and much more accurate.

Let's think about this for a second.

I think Newton's first law only applies to space, maybe we need to start figuring out some laws for time.

You are using a 20 year generational span. In the US a generation is now considered to be 25 years.

I hope not, there's nothing worse than fish that smell.

That 440,900 tons equals 399,977,751,866 grams
If one gram = 7,500 gallons of gasoline that the equivalent of 2,999,833,138,995,000 gallons of gasoline.
In 2009, the U.S. used 126,773,388,000 gallons of gasoline. http://americanfuels.blogspot.com/2010/04/2009-gasoline-consumption.html
Which means that the US supply of thorium could provide the equivalent of 21,751 years of gasoline usage in the U.S.
I think it's plentiful enough.

The states will all be raising the legal blood alcohol limit in order to reduce drunk driving incidents.
