Fancy suspension I can understand, but Hydraulic brakes? Does that really make a difference for comfort? What makes them any better than a decent set of caliper brakes?
The oxygen-free gold connectors keep the vibrations down when braking.
It needs a killer game that can't be open source so that it can't be ported to other platforms. Of course if it's not open source, Linux users won't touch it.
There has also been a program where you can implant an RFID chip in your bike. The idea is if a beat-cop walks buy and the scanner goes beep.... (however the program didn't take off like gangbusters as one would hope, and I'm not sure why).
Because people realize that the police would use the RFID tags to silently keep tabs on where everyone bicycles?
Makes me wonder if it was the thieves' bike rack that they placed there. They needed to know that their truck could hold that specific rack (and that they could lift it).
Either society bifurcates into eloi and morlocks, or we find a way to support the majority of humans as benign parasites. Hopefully in a way that does not encourage them to breed.
No, no. You want them to breed. Spontaneous smart children can happen. Identifying them for extraction from the parasite class would be difficult though.
Kodak kept far more than 130,000 in work. There were plenty of side businesses that fed off of kodak: photo labs, professional photographers (yes, they still exist, but now that people can take 300 pictures without spending a huge amount of time and money, they're less likely to hire a pro).
His idea was to have something like a geothermal power plant, except that the heat would come from periodically setting off hydrogen bombs underground.
And even then, oil, solar, wind, hydro, and fission beat fusion even if fusion is slightly over break-even. Heck, humans turning a millstone beats anything that's slightly over break-even.
"the FAA forbids the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles over crowded areas such as Manhattan"
It's already a UAV free zone. What's the plan for further regulation? No uavs over 16oz?

would be devastating enough to most folk (and wouldn't require root privs)
There are other things that could happen too: setting up a cronjob/scheduled task for a secure tunnel to a dynamic address or a daemon that regularly downloads new exploit code and attempts to get root/administrator
Average people actually fare better at resisting military authority when violence isn't a primary aspect of their approach
If you'll notice, I didn't say average people fare better, I said having guns make them feel empowered. And it's that kind of empowered feeling that can cause citizens under a newly birthed tyranny to become rabble, nay rebels. And when half your population rises up against you even if you can kill them all with the push of a button, you're still removing half your population (or more if the military splinters, which is likely). That's a halving or more in production, a halving or more in taxes, etc. The mere existence of guns in the hands of civilians makes forceful takeovers a losing strategy (unless you're an outside force to begin with). It's not quite the situation the founders hoped for (citizens killing the tyrants), but it's better than lining up along the wall.
Nothing except phone/video, and only accept calls from you and allow calls to you. If you allow any fun function, the phone will be drained of power at all times. Also, if it even looks fun (like a smartphone) his schoolmates will take it from him. Of course being 4, he'll lose it anyway.

And we hate the idea more than we hate Shuttleworth.
The obelisks did that with Jupiter in 2010. Never had any good shows on.
Does this mean that in Star Control 2, Saturn should be reclassified as a diamond world? (No exotics, just carbon)
Well, diamonds *are* forever.

software development can be mostly automated for most cases, softwares are solutions to problems that have been done again and again
But defining the problem accurately is usually more difficult than writing the program that solves it.
Of course, digital photography keeps far more than 13 people employed too.
Kodak kept far more than 130,000 in work. There were plenty of side businesses that fed off of kodak: photo labs, professional photographers (yes, they still exist, but now that people can take 300 pictures without spending a huge amount of time and money, they're less likely to hire a pro).
What about cruelty to vegetables?
Not acceptable, even during visiting hours.
Copper Sulfate. Easier than roto-rootering.

That plan really seems to have bombed.

Searching for code or for something with specific punctuation is often important to me.
"the intel to catch things like this" is likely considered essential.
"the FAA forbids the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles over crowded areas such as Manhattan" It's already a UAV free zone. What's the plan for further regulation? No uavs over 16oz?
The less people who have to work at McDonalds hopefully means more people who can work on discovering a cure for cancer.
Just what we need. Someone whose current potential is to up-sell fries mixing chemicals in a lab. No thank you.

I have no idea who that is.

Sue Richards is the Invisible Woman, not Man. Although her brother Johnny did have her powers for a while as a herald of Galactus.
