It'll be bigger than a house, but you are also wrong. The amount of waste from US nuclear power plants for the last 40 years fit in one football field. What is your source?
"Over the past four decades, the entire industry has produced 74,258 metric tons of used nuclear fuel. If used fuel assemblies were stacked end-to-end and side-by-side, this would cover a football field about eight yards deep."
On the flip side, if you don't have to risk your life to do the killing, you might be more controlled in your killing. More deliberate, fewer deaths overall, no murder rampages from unbalanced soldiers. If the system is set up right, all drone operations could be recorded and reviewed. There can be more accountability. I'm not saying that military is actually doing this, but the potential is there.
Arming the cabin crew also makes the renegade pilot scenario more likely. Wait til the other pilot is sleeping or in the bathroom, pull gun, kill other pilot, now you have flying missile ala 9/11.
And I assume that civilian installations are not EMP protected. I think blowing up a few key electrical utility installations can do a great deal of damage. Think a large fraction of the east coast for example without electrical power, and no ability to restore it for at least days if not weeks. I assume these EMP devices are not nuclear, so they would perhaps be easier to smuggle as well.
I think that would have actually been interesting. They could of course vary the amount of cookie on one side and the cocaine on the other. Would have produced some nice graphs at least. Really, why didn't they do this? The PI had access to the drug after all.
Why would would it be more convenient? The snowshoe stamp requires the screen to be on. The stamp itself doesn't require battery power, but neither does an nfc chip. The stamp is also huge in comparison to an nfc.
Then they impound your car because it might be rigged with booby traps. I'm all for giving it to the man, but unfortunately this is a poor chance at a good outcome.
It's interesting that the article seems to contradict itself.
It says: "(This is not the same as restoring nervous system function to quadriplegics or other victims of traumatic spinal cord injury.)"
And this later: "Paraplegics with qualifying injuries (i.e., enough spinal cord left intact to allow for a head transplant) could in theory regain the full use of a (donor) body"
I wonder if Ariel Castro could have been found by mining this data? Yeah, I know it sucks, but the data is already out there. Maybe it could be put to good use.
Human beings causes a huge, measureable impact on the environment in may other ways, it is not a leap of logic to believe in anthropological climate change.
If vat grown becomes a reality. Beef production produces huge amounts of methane which is a big contributor to climate change. You don't have to be animal welfare nut to advocate for this development.
Would be interesting if they tried this technique to find osama. The guy put out some videos at some point and im assuming they weren't all from a cave.

Really how did they get around congress?

Why does no one mention using this drug to lenghten joyful events? Time dilate your wedding day. Let a terminal patient enjoy his last days.

That's depressing to hear. I thought SpaceX was one of the good companies. :(

Spacex i feel is huge. Tesla.
Can I turn that question around? What innovation from outside the usa has happened in recent years?
Not totally clear from the wired article, but they seem to pickup and drop off only at bus stops.
If people knew the budget for the military, would they support it less?
But we do know that the NSA *does* monitor phone traffic.
For example, telecom interception at att:

How do you reconcile what you said with this information. Is room 641 a lie?
Or a repressive protein that blocks the operating cells?
Apparently it is free when ordering from motomaker...

At the very least they already collect the metadata for all postage communications.

I don't know. Shutting down an airport for god knows how long would be pretty damn disruptive.

Regarding your contention about nickel mines. 100s of square miles of bare earth should easily be visible from google earth, no?
I'm too lazy too look, but someone should... :(

So what exactly are you calling bullshit on?
Cattle don't produce significant methane? Is the EPA not authoratative enough for you?
http://www.epa.gov/rlep/faq.html
Or that methane causes climate change? I can't really help you if you believe climate change is a hippie conspiracy, but maybe this:

This article disputes your general premise. Government workers make more than private sector for the same education level.

Do you have any references to support your claim?
Thanks
