Wright's 1903 flight was not widely reported/known until a few years later. People at the turn of the century already had gliders, hot air balloons, and dirigibles. Hot air balloons were used in the civil war and of course well before that too.
Seriously you guys lack imagination. I remember in 2005 when I suggested that existing phones where were crap and that large screen touchscreen phones would be successful people thought I was crazy. Now the same people are claiming there is no way to make a watch user friendly. The screen of the iWatch will be at least the size of an iPod nano, probably larger and wider like a shrunken iphone in landscape mode..
In addition to the obvious things like GPS, Siri, blutetooth, apps, and phone call response/averting like the ability to answer a call in speaker phone mode with a tap or gesture:
1. Always-on voice control -- if the toy R2D2 robot running on double A batteries can have it, why cant a modern device (it wont consume much power, it's listening only for a specific keyword(s)).? One of the keywords can be a distress codeword that can call 911 or help and activates (GPS) tracking. Note, Always-on voice control is different than Siri which requires you to press a button. 2. Tap anywhere, including on the outside of the strap to answer or silence the phone or to view the time. And an option to shake to silence. Default? Will have to test which works best (gestures or tap?). There will also be a cool setting which causes your iWatch to vibrate for a few seconds before the phone actually starts ringing.. this will allow you to silence your phone without being awkward. 3. Heart rate and other health or distress vital signs monitor. An IR camera and other sensors facing downwards at the skin will probably be the best way to implement this... though the first versions can be electricity based. 4. Ability to quickly send a canned text or voice message when you cannot answer the phone -- Ideally the UI will allow for this even in darkness when you are in a movie theater. 5. A pulse system that allows people to send you basic text-style messages without you having to read it. For example, if you are in a meeting and your friend wants to tell you she's gotten home.. she can send a short vibration sequence -- kinda like Morse code. The phone will vibrate in a specific pattern first to tell you it's her message, and then it will vibrate out the message. Doesn't have to be vibration only.. any sort of touch/skin sense thing I suppose. 6. Finger gesture to text character/word as a keyboard substitute. 7. USB 3/lighting connector. 8. NFC 9. Seamless data sync/integration with phone and other devices. 10. buttonless slick design, face and bottom having a gentle curve to it.
The above features are what I would expect in the first edition, the second version should have a miniature camera, thumbprint recognition.
There are a few other features I don't want to list here because I know Apple is gonna snag 'em and patent these features. I don't mind the snagging I don't like the patenting. After all, I am not bitter that 2 years after I mentioned that a large touchscreen phone and voice UIs would sell really well.. they announced the iPhone.

Don't be a fool. The only person defending rapists here is you. By advocating imprisonment of a possibly innocent person, you want to add a victim to the rapists roster so he has something extra to feel happy about. Unless they both carried out the rapes.. of course you have no evidence of that. Fact is that you are just as bad as a criminal. You should be jailed for wanting to imprison an innocent person. That's attempted kidnapping you are guilty of.
Sentence both to half time? So basically if one of them is innocent he is screwed -- all to save some money? Meanwhile the guilty one is guaranteed only 50% of the time. Btw, I think the sentence should be life in prison or possibly death penalty. So what's half of life sentence or death penalty?

You sound like one of the people who told the Wright brothers they'll never fly. Or maybe you're that 1920s New York Times editor who said that rocketry is junk science and would never get us to space let alone the moon.
We had the tech, but not the money. Are we going to have the money by 2033? I sure hope so, but it looks iffy. A Mars shot would probably take 20 years nowadays (the moon shot took 20 years too if you count the time that the Saturn V engines were in development when Kennedy announced it). That means it would have to survive 4 presidential elections and 8 congressional elections. Space is one of the easy budgets to raid money out of. In essence we'll need 20 years of sustained prosperity. It will probably be 2020 that a Mars shot will be announced. Probably around the time China announces a moon shot. Or maybe their own Mars shot. I hope they announce it. Maybe we need that to get up off our butts. There's no way in hell we're gonna watch someone else get there first.
Who's to say immigration won't benefit all, or at least most citizens? It's in people's interest to get the best inventors and workers of the world, isn't it? Let's assume genius is born, and not made. In that scenario, the probability of an Einstein increases with the population.. so if you select 50000 from the top bracket of the world.. there is more likely to be a superior Einstein than those of the low opportunity population in the US -- since the top in the US do have the opportunity already anyway -- unless they come from the lowest income brackets. If you are in the US and you get top grades usually you can get a scholarship. And if you are at the upper bracket of your class in a top university you have a very high probability of a job in the US if you are in the STEM fields.Its not unusual for MIT graduates to have multiple job offers prior to graduation. The number of Teslas and Einsteins falling through the cracks in the US is not very high.The probability of a typical world citizen's not getting the opportunity to use their genius is much higher. Everyone.. including US citizens lose out.. since top scientists & engineers invent things that improve everyone's life and create job opportunities. Think of how many jobs Tesla created. If Jony Ive couldn't immigrate Apple's products would be of an inferior design -- in fact many of Apple's top designers/engineers are immigrants.. and they are paid well into the six figures and more -- so you can't say they got hired for their cheapness. If there was a better product designer than Jony Ive in the US born into the top 80% income bracket of the US.. he would be working for Apple or maybe a competitor making superior designs. Yes, he/she may have been born into the lower 20% income bracket and thus never had the opportunity.. but that probability is only 1 in.5. It's far more probable that a Nikola Teslas is being locked outside the border, than suppressed within it. Now the above scenario was if genius is born but not made.. but what if genius is made? Well then again, immigration offers the best chance to get the Nikola Tesla. The developed countries of the world have larger populations than population in their own high income brackets than the lower opportunity brackets in the US. Therefore even if you forced the top 80% of the US to ensure that the lower 20% of the US was raised with opportunity.. the raw numbers are still lacking so you only increase your probability of getting a Tesla by 20%. Compare that with getting to select from the global pool. This attitude of people that humans overall are more detrimental than good has to end. Bringing in more Teslas offers the best path to lifting the lower 20% out of the zero opportunity zone.
The enemy would need to have a massive ICBM missile force. That is not very feasible. How many of our enemies have a budget for that? I don't think even China has that kind of money.. and if they could allocate such a budget.. corrupt politicians would allow only a small percent of it to go into actual weapon acquisition.. they same way they take money off highway contracts. I don't see how any of our credible adversaries could organize a massive missile force coordination while we remain clueless.
I hope I'm wrong.. and I didnt see the data the EU committee has seen.. But I really don't think we are even near the point where a mere $1.34 Billion can get us to a point where we can get use from this thing. Still, I am glad a science project got funding.
Still, I rather they put it into MagLIF, regenerative medicine, immunology, cancer, or battery research (though I hope the graphene project which also got $1.34 billion is able to make a contribution in this regard).
When they say "Austria's Turkish community" they really mean a small vocal minority thereof. I bet most people in the Austrian Turkish community couldn't care less.
Unless it is happening randomly (shrinks at a certain rate for a few years, then stops or expands for time etc) I think there would be detectable changes in the Sun's output over time if that was the case because the rate of nuclear fusion would change (reduce, I think).
And still polysilicon reigns as king. Why? It's because this breakthrough still hasn't changed the most important measure which is cost per watt. From a business and consumer perspective that's what matters.
When they figure out how to reduce the cost per watt of solar, let me know. We need a to reduce the cost of solar energy to at least 1/5th of what it costs now if it's to compete with coal. Even if we figure out how to make solar cells out of newspaper.. the cost of battery/storage for overnight will keep it's cost above that of coal. So for solar to be a success we need two breakthroughs.. first and foremost... how do we make solar cells cheaply?.. And second,.. how do we make cheap batteries?
Think about it, if you are going to build a power plant.. would you spend 5 to 10 times more on it and get unsubsidized solar or will you save money and build coal? That's the question facing power plant builders.
All I can say is that given the advances possible, the slight loss of privacy is worth it.. So if you do have the chance to volunteer for something like this do it. It's likely more dangerous to have a Facebook account where you talk about or your friends talk about your ailments.
Although you are correct that taxing the corporation is the same as taxing the people, the problem with your point is that if we didn't.. people can use the corporations as a way to avoid taxes. I do agree that corporate taxes should be lower so that corporations can accumulate the capital needed to grow their business.
Everyone can own shares in companies. Work will basically be deciding which companies to invest in. Govt can pay its expenses and even some welfare by taxing the corporation. Everyone can get paid and nobody would have to work. Workers would be super expensive at that point.
Here's whats gonna happen.. A scandal will break about price fixing. The govt will get involved a lawsuit will be filed. A fine will be paid. Prices will then stagnate instead of drop.

Agreed.
Is that stringent and valid/peer reviewed enough to stand up under defense cross examination?

I am now an expert on criminal justice. The crime may have been committed by both. Of course I could be wrong. Oh well, no harm done.
Uh, the drones have built in autonomy to handle losses of communication. We'd be losing mad drones if that wasnt the case.
