Yes, because there's no possible way people would ever use Tor for planning to do illegal things.

Blue Bostic glue stick on glass works fantastically for me so far.

I was going to criticize this, but actually this seems like it would work. You could feed a single spool into a common melt chamber, and then use needle valves on the heads to control whether specific points extruded. All the benefits of a small nozzle diameter without the draw back when filling in large items.

That's not sticking to the man. That's making the hysterical NSA alarmists go nuts. So, quite the opposite.

75 m/year buys the US intellectual property rights to any technology which comes out of ITER.

That 75 m/year is literally the cost of the patents and technology which will be required for practical fusion power. It's the cost of getting US physicists and engineers experience and expertise with tokamak-based fusion technology.

The problem with the military budget is it never gets cut in sensible places. The people at the sharp-end get hit first, the VA gets hit, the bazillion-dollar do-everything weapon system nobody really needs or wants? Mysteriously continues.

You could cut the military budget by a bunch and get a better military by cutting out the inefficency and corruption.

And here I was thinking we'd finally killed defacto indentured servitude/slavery via company scrip.

This is a stupid act, and it's going to have very real consequences in the future before long.

And Bitcoin will still be just as irrelevant regardless.

So we'll spend some or your tax dollars on this which will help us ensure the tax department is efficient and TAXES? TAXES ARE THEFT. DOWN WITH THE GOVERNMENT!!!

These problems don't just happen, and don't require conspiracy. It's been plainly obvious the IRS is underfunded since it returns 7-to-1 on recovered revenue when they get a budget increase.

You should probably go read the article of "objectivity". If you need to start out labelling your informtion as "something-ism" then it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia.

Moreover, Wikipedia's stated goal has always been to be an encyclopedia, not an archive of content.

Encyclopedia's are meant to present a reasonably concise overview of all topics, with links to further in-depth information. They're a starting point not the totality of one.

Wikipedia is built on a foundation which works "on average". If you want a different system, you're asking for a different type of thing. It's always going to be a problem.

You can design a metal contact based port which is dust and water proof. We just currently don't but it's hardly an insurmountable challenge.

God no, the trend to wireless only is the worst.

I want a high-speed wired interface on my phone. Like, if you can fit a 10g ethernet port in there, I want that. I also want a mini-display port connector.

Radios are for differential transfer and continuity. If I need to move data on and off the device, I want that done as fast as possible.

It was C4.

You do realize we can do both these things. They are both worth doing if they save money and lives. But we do not have driverless cars yet - and their are different obstacles to their implementation. If we can build a wall and go "yep, that'll save us 3 times it's cost" then we absolutely should do that.

We do not need to tear down one in favor of the other. My point was solely that there are very sensible reasons to think tornado prevention with giga-engineering would be economically viable.
