It's not an all or nothing proposition. Pilots should be able to go through the metal detectors and that's it. Their belongings get x-rayed, and they get to bring a pocketknife or scissors through along with a gun if they have the permit.

If not one person, then two or three who take turns using an airport bathroom stall and remove the triple-saran-wrapped components. The third person assembles it and carries it aboard a plane.

In the aftermath, I expect bathrooms will have a screening station to re-enter the terminal, or removed from the secure area entirely.

Video backup systems don't store the feed forever. Waiting a month to use the activated cards should be enough time.

Perhaps the poster was confusing the size of the theorized Oort cloud? There may be specks and pebbles of matter orbiting the sun from as far away as a light year.

If Ford disabled the heated steering wheel function, but the heated seats, heat, AC, power windows, headlights, signals, engine and transmission and everything else in the car still worked... it wouldn't be the end-of-my-world-panties-in-a-bunch thing that some PS3 owners are making it out to be.

How about a pie chart/archery target? Groups of contacts are created through tags or algorithms, then displayed like slices of pie. The farther from the center, the more distant the contact. Users can touch using a finger, or click with a mouse to select what parts of the chart to share content with.

The system could remember common and uncommon chart configurations. So when a user begins selecting distant relatives, the system suggests a previous chart as an overlay.

The stations take the packs out of circulation, but they might not own the packs. Nissan and dedicated battery companies could own the packs and be responsible for recycling and disposal. The consumers ultimately pay for the packs.

I saw an article a bit ago doing the math about how many cars can move through a electric equivalent of a gas station, and something like 10x more gasoline powered cars are able to fuel up FULLY over the course of an hour.

That's why there's an alternative proposition to use replaceable battery packs. Pull the car in to the station and a mechanical device removes the tamper-resistant-and-registered bank of batteries from the car. Then it lifts a charged pack in. This also means the owners don't have to spend thousands of dollars after so many charges for a new set of batteries.

We should be able to transfer tickets with zero markup online. If I want to get rid of my tickets, I'll go to ticketmaster's tickettransfer site and register them as available. My info is kept hidden but the seats are shown. Buyers can select my seats and buy them like regular tickets. They pay what I paid, or that plus a BS $3.50 service fee. This way the venue and ticketmaster don't lose money on refunds. If the concert doesn't sell out that's tough luck for me.

As your quote says, they won't refund the purchase price.

The back of it is the weak electric motor. It doesn't need to be powerful and the teeth at the right angle junction will not slip.

I agree with you but we don't matter because gamers like us constitute a tiny fraction of the market.

They actually got all four engines back, then started ascending back into the damn ash. They needed to clear some mountains between them and Jakarta, but went far higher than they needed to. But they didn't know any better.
