Hense why he used the word 'Force'. Because He wants one and gosh darn it the industry should bow to his whims.
How about a better Idea: How bout repurposing all those plastic bottles: http://www.aliteroflight.org/
Kinda of hard to do that in the dark. Oh and in Bangalore, they are talking about the poorest of the poor. the lowest caste who CAN"T sell to others ans contact with them makes those people outcasts. But other than that you are sadly correct.
Is Hughes a visionary cleaning out dead wood or a clueless tech star leaving destruction in his wake?
Both. He's clueless because he doesn't understand who buys the New Republic. He's a visionary because NP does have a lot of dead wood.
The truest example of who Hughes is: On Season 3 episode 4 of the Newsroom Lucas Pruit buys ACN after it is spun off from its parent company Atlantic Media in an effort to save Atlantic Media from greedy asshole cousins who were given shares in their uncle's will that would allow them to take over the company to...sell it to someone who only wants its IP assets.
Hughes is Lucas Pruitt who announces his vision of bring ACN into the 21st century by intoducting crowdsourcing media, instagram and twitter links etc. Everything that Charlie Skinner hates.
And don't forget that the we actually from Caprica 70,000 via Battlestar Galactica and its fleet of ships. Those sentient machines are still out there!
So you are suggesting the Forerunners of Halo (the game) rather than Terminator?
Sorry but so far no one has suggested an idea that actually hasn't been done in Sci fi. Have you ever considered that it might do nothing? What if spirit and souls do exist and it discovers this and decides I need to evolve. So it waits doing nothing for decades on decades.
Last Time I checked, local law, employment rules and other things (like high theft) will cause ID checks. I look that it this way, both the store and the customer have to choices. To shop or not to. Oh and for those of you who have need worked in retail or have no friends that did. The top things they tell you in the regional (like frys) and below stores is Check ID for large purchases (Xbox, computer etc). Top problems: Theft, people opening the boxes because they are: afraid its not all in there, they can't conceptualize what it looks like from the box photo or theft.
So don't open a box or package you haven't paid for without a employee beside you help you. Why? Because you know as well as I do that we don't buy those busted up boxes anyway.
AS for the idiocy of the not having a wallet, (and I am surprised that no one has said it yet) Is appleplay the mark of the beast?;) (promise its the only time)
Seriously, I don't see the wallet ever going away anymore than I see women's purses going away. We will always need something independant of the chip, smartphone etc to verify us and there will always be areas that have no wifi, cell service who will only accept cash or put minimum charges because they can't afford it.
Also, quit supporting laws that ban Homelessness and ban the feeding of the homeless. Finally, how much are you donating to the local homeless shelter? Not the Salvation army but the other shelter that doesn't have a corporation behind it. And How about that local food bank? Are you donating to that?
Your ignorance IS astounding. You do understand that darpanet was also involved in the building of computers.
Integrated Circuits (ICs) were made possible by experimental discoveries showing that semiconductor devices could perform the functions of vacuum tubes and by mid-20th-century technology advancements in semiconductor device fabrication. The integration of large numbers of tiny transistors into a small chip was an enormous improvement over the manual assembly of circuits using discrete electronic components. The integrated circuit's mass production capability, reliability and building-block approach to circuit design ensured the rapid adoption of standardized integrated circuits in place of designs using discrete transistors.
A precursor idea to the IC was to create small ceramic squares (wafers), each containing a single miniaturized component. Components could then be integrated and wired into a bidimensional or tridimensional compact grid. This idea, which seemed very promising in 1957, was proposed to the US Army by Jack Kilby and led to the short-lived Micromodule Program (similar to 1951's Project Tinkertoy). However, as the project was gaining momentum, Kilby came up with a new, revolutionary design: the IC.
Newly employed by Texas Instruments, Kilby recorded his initial ideas concerning the integrated circuit in July 1958, successfully demonstrating the first working integrated example on 12 September 1958. In his patent application of 6 February 1959, Kilby described his new device as “a body of semiconductor material wherein all the components of the electronic circuit are completely integrated.” The first customer for the new invention was the US Air Force. The same US Air force that was involved with NASA in space missions.
When NASA was created in 1958, the Air Force program was transferred to it and renamed Project Mercury. The first seven astronauts were selected among candidates from the Navy, Air Force and Marine test pilot programs. On May 5, 1961, astronaut Alan Shepard became the first American in space aboard Freedom 7, launched by a Redstone booster on a 15-minute ballistic (suborbital) flight. John Glenn became the first American to be launched into orbit by an Atlas launch vehicle on February 20, 1962 aboard Friendship 7. Glenn completed three orbits, after which three more orbital flights were made, culminating in L. Gordon Cooper's 22-orbit flight Faith 7, May 15–16, 1963.
TLDR; the first use of Integrated circuits otherwise known as microchips WAS the space race.
Firefox could implement Pepper but they've chosen not to. You're probably never going to get IE to support any open plugin standard.
Because no formal version of PPAPI exists but rather is an ever changing header file in the Chrome source code. Mozilla will not commit to spending the time and resources to implementing PPAPI only to have Google significantly break it on a whim and have everyone blaming Mozilla for their plugins not working. In contrast NPAPI is a rather old interface that has not seen significant modification in a long time and still works fine.
Nah Mozilla would rather significantly break the plugins themselves on a whim and have everyone blaming Mozilla for their plugins not working.
I'm not a biologist, but it seems to me that life is more keen to utilize energy through more complicated but well defined pathways rather than through unpredictable thermal excitations, much like your car prefers a piston engine and a gearbox to Orion-style detonations.
There is a level of coolness attributed to a car that does Orion-style detonations. Mind you, you wouldn't survive but still.
Your arrogance amuses me. See the wonderful thing about science is we don't know what we don't know. Your statement is the equivalent of a village of tan people that have been trapped on an uncharted island in the pacific. You assume that everyone is the same as you see and that your technology is 18th century because thats all you have ever known.
We don't know if the speed of light is constant outside our gravity well because we haven't sent any sensors out of it yet. We believe that its constant. 600 yrs ago we believed in ether filling space, Geocentric model for our universe and that the earth was a flat disc.
We haven't mined any asteroids. The most we have is a highly controlled quantity of lunar regolith (dirt) that was far less than the expected estimates. We don't know if they are any heavier elements in the next two island groups.
Finally we don't know if they have steel or not. You understand that there are technologies we have completely lost yet the items produced still exist?
A perfect example is Damascus steel It was a type of steel used in Middle Eastern swordmaking. These swords are characterized by distinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminiscent of flowing water. Such blades were reputed to be tough, resistant to shattering and capable of being honed to a sharp, resilient edge.
Damascus steel was originally made from wootz steel, a steel developed in India before the Common Era. The original method of producing Damascus steel is not known. Because of differences in raw materials and manufacturing techniques, modern attempts to duplicate the metal have not been successful. Despite this, several individuals in modern times have claimed that they have rediscovered the methods in which the original Damascus steel was produced.
They might have fusion drives using magnetic cores, housing units that know how to generate artificial gravity. construction methods that allowed it to be built in low planetary orbit, and other things we are fully capable of but neither have the economic will or current expertise to do.
The fact is aliens do exist as sure as we do. You want to know why? Because of evolution. If it works here, then it works everywhere else.
We haven't left for the stars because of people like you and because they isn't enough political will to do so, yet. There will be. Its kinda sad that it will mostly be the Chinese who will do it. However, someone will.
Then you comment will be treated with the same derision that the '4 computers ever', 'the 640k', 'the sun orbits the earth' and the earth flat comments are.
I and a number of other small chocolate makers have looked at what cocoa _should_ cost. Cocoa beans IMHO should cost at least double if not three to four times what they currently do.
Now with a Hershey's Bar, a good portion of the bar is sugar and milk. Because of this, there is very little "cocoa" (the real part of chocolate in chocolate) in a Hershey's chocolate bar. This was the big innovation that asshole Milton Hershey did . He was one of the first to screw with food. However Chocolate was too expensive and was the domain of the rich and so he in some ways invented the technique of watering it down with immense quantities of sugar and milk. If I remember right, a Hershey's bar is only 15% cocoa (not counting the cocoa butter which is added to reduce the viscosity of the added milk and sugar. I don't know what Hershey's pays for these ingredients but I can get sugar for $0.50-$0.60/lb offsets the price significantly for a bar like Hershey's since there is so much of it. But I'd bet to get the prices right you'd probably be needing to have a Hershey's bar cost at least 2-3 times what they currently do. I'd have to really dig into the numbers closely to really make a more accurate stab at it.
Along the line of your question though, Hershey's buys some of the worst quality cocoa (of which there is a lot of) and pays prices that are close to rock bottom. So they are paying around $1.30/lb right now. There is a 20-25% loss after you remove the shell and moisture evaporation during roasting. I've tasted the grade of cocoa that they buy and it is spitting bad (ie, you'll spit it out almost immediately. Better qualities of cocoa taste significantly better. So I hope this helps a bit.
Edited it for truth. Don't celebrate Hershey, he was a profiteer in the worst way. Cocoa and real chocolate are good for you. His abomination is one of the leading causes of diabetes. 85% sugarized milk. And people wonder why 100 yrs later people are ill in record numbers.
No one is arguing about radiative transfer. What they arguing about is that a simple fact. Most people expect claims to accurate. And for climate scientists to be believed they have to hit the nail a lot. What the public believes is that they aren't doing that. So its being disbelieved by them. And since here we can vote on it and it affects our ability to live that why it fails.
Its not about science being right or wrong, its about whether I can eat tomorrow or not. People are not going to give up 15% (a random amount) of their check to fix a problem announced by something they think is a talking head or worse a weatherman.
The general public doesn't give a damn about the IPCC, nor will they.
If it is to be fixed it will be by a country that is authoritarian like China. And look at their emissions.

So basically, Hawking announced that Terminator is a possibility. Nice to see he is doing something in his declining years.
So clip it to the inside of your pants through a hole in the tip of the pocket.

"How much do you think a standard Hershey Bar (plain, 43g) should cost in $USD? "
Nothing. I would rather see the company out of business and Milton Hershey treated with the same care as Hitler and Stalin but thats me.
