It's not like loading ammo is hard, and bullets are probably the easiest things for these machines to print.

It's not quite as simple as requiring you to leave the tag in place. The way the tag is supposed to work is that it tells you a date on which they had not recieved such requests, and if the date gets stale then you can reasonably suppose that they have since that time. The secret court would thus have to not just compel you to leave it, but to also continue updating. This is why Apple's approach is so interesting: it's going to precipitate a court case to determine whether they can be coerced into providing materially false information to the SEC.
NASA's using DMLS for part of their J2X engine (for the SLS vehicle, funnily enough), and interestingly it's for a very simple part that's just too small to make conventionally. So they're only about three years ahead of you.
There are technology issues to overcome – notably current limitations on the size of the parts to be made – but this process is potentially an order of magnitude improvement in terms of the costs for building complex, severe environment components out of that ubiquitous substance that we’ve got all over in a rocket engine, i.e., “shiny metal.”
But fewer issues.
I don't think that most organizations are more or less likely to have a SAP implementation come in under budget and within spec than doing it themselves. But when the in-house project fails, the project manager loses their job and the whole thing gets started over. When SAP fails, well, "they're the best in the industry... if they can't do it no one could..." So management sucks it up and commits the needed resources to finish. Sure, the end result isn't as good as if they had commited properly to doing it in house, but at least it got done in the end, and no one lost their job.
In general I'd agree, but RSS readers essentially don't work without the cloud. The only thing that is "my" data in Reader is a list of URLs. Without pulling down content from elsewhere, that's essentially useless to me. That's also why it's so easy to migrate: I can import that list into a number of other services and applications that will do the same thing.
How, exactly, could one falsify the assertion that the only assertions which are valid are those which are falsifiable?
That's not really the best advice, what you don't want to do is talk to the police without your attorney present. If your attorney thinks it's a good idea to answer a particular question, then you may want to do it.
No, he's thinking of Stargate.
You seem to be conflating presumption of innocence with the standard of proof, when they're only tangentially related. "Preponderance of evidence" has nothing to do with your point.
Hence the GP said, "though obviously there are exceptions."
He wasn't claiming that these chips would be perfect for everyone, just that there are *some* areas where they would be.
3) high frame rates on high end hardware (and the listed testbed is bleeding edge) imply that it is possible to get reasonable framerates on lesser equipment..
But by your own argument, their opponent is someone who desires to enforce bad laws, therefore you cannot vote for them either. Are you suggesting simply abstaining?
I was agreeing with you, actually, hence the implication that "they choose not to market it to me."
