The older humans lived 20 - 30 years MAX. The new humans live to 70 - 100 so there is pleanty of time for the new humans to break or splinter the old bones. The older humans didn't live long enough or stress the older bones nearly as much.

How does one get around "All Writs Act". Essentially you don't! Functionally you and some conspirator have a agreement to use some form of encryption that may or may not be already broken by some TLAs. When the TLA shows up at your door you MUST decode the message or go to jail. This process absolves anyone else; hardware, software, application, etc. from Gov. action. You and your conspirator become the responsible party. Essentially one must leave the jurisdiction of the TLA that would be interested in your communications. Bye - bye!

In the future - 2 or 3 days - an AI will be listening to all communication and take notes, answer questions etc. It's primary interface would be verbal, voice communications. It would have to know the voice and stress level of everyone in the house. Programmers could easily provide one voice recognition, and get money for each voice added to the repertoire This would be the beginnings of HAL or SkyNet depending... It would have to be aware of it's surroundings so as to not interrupt normal conversation or take sides in some human argument, but possibly call police, fire, ambulance when requested. Yeah I know this already was posited by some movie in the past, but it's time has come. How do we put "intelligence" behind the voice recorder? How good are the voice to word translators? Or does what I am proposing already exist. But we must make it smaller, faster, cheaper and much more intelligent.

The three laws of robotics, skynet... How does one build in "protect the humans that created you" as a manditory un-mitigatable law?

Due dilligence or what ever New Zeland calls it. Your legal counsel, both in house and outside firms did not due there due dilligence! Sue them for the whole amount plus pain, suffering, incarceration, etc.

Can the US Actually Cultivate Local Competition in Broadband? One can not really ask that question with the "pay for hire" congress we currently have in office. The politicians will promis ANYTHING to get in office and then it's the one with the most money who gets the vote. "One man one vote" not really - The most money gets the vote! One must get politicians who listen to their constituents and votes what they want. That won't happen while the major billion dollar corp. can BUY the vote they want! How do we get that to happen, forbid any politician accepting money for himself, his corp. , re-election committee or any other related entity. That won't happen while the current politicians are in office. A Contential Congress made of of all the also-rans who wanted to get into office and make changes. Otherwise "continue dreaming"?!?!?

When attempting to work with Waldos the timing of one's actions gets complicated. Any time over a second delay gets very problematic. The engineers moving the Mars scouts have to think ahead and give commands to the scouts and let them wander toward a destination, but the path, speed, etc. must be handeled locally. With minutes and hours delay it's imposible to use waldos. One would have to issue a series of instructions and delimitations to ensure that what one needs to accomplish actually gets done, then let the local machine/computer decypher the instructions and figure out how to perform them. If one attempted to use Waldos at the bottom of the sea, or outer space, the time delay would very problematic. This all presumes that electrons travel at a limited speed. If one develops FTL communications then Waldos at a distance would be viable.

What is to prevent the Gov. from infiltrating "Dead Man Zero" and NSLing them into silence! The only way to ensure that the information gets out would be to have multiple storage site scattered around the various countries where the NSL, CIA, FBI and other TLAs don't have standing.

Use Whale Mail or something similar. http://www.sharefile.com/ Or one can sign up with ANY hosting provider, They all proide GigaBytes of storage. Just send a link to the file and let them download it at their leisure, and it won't clog up their E-Mail box with huge files.

If the NFC communications were LOUD and NOISY when someone attempts to NFC you in a crowd the LOUD noise would alert the abused to the attempt. This would probably cut down on the number and frequency of attempted thefts a lot!

If one is working with Hammer and Anvil then one would probably have similar accelerometer readings. One can NOT be told not to do one's job, nor told not to use hammer and anvil.

All municipalities supplied with artesian well water need to insist that any and all oil and gas fracking does not contaminate the water supply, now and WELL into the future. The Oil and Gas Fracking can take place today, the supply goes dry and the company packs up, sells off and disapears, meanwhile the water becomes contaminated with the oil, gas and fracking chemicals and becomes totally useless for town water supply. I would recommend ALL artesian well water be checked now and into the future for fracking contaminants. Also find out where the water comes from, it could be many miles away from the actual well. Make sure any and all fracking is well insured against water contamination again now and well into the future.

GM better put some intellegence into the car so if there is nobody in the car it pulls over to the side and stops. Otherwise one has a car ripe for theft, or joy rides. This should NOT be some weight in a seat, too easy to put some bags of dirt, sand in the seat and then leave.

When a human drives in a new area she must observer traffic signs, lights, markings, etc. She must become aware of all routes, access and egress with out help from some GPS system. Yeah it may be used to find a location, but beond that she must do the driving with out help of specialized directions. The self driving car (SDC) MUST do the same thing, Yeah one can provide the SDC with a set of regular traffic signs, lights, markings, etc, but it must be alble to handle accidents, construction, new and closing of old entrances, exits, etc. So knowing where every corner and driveway exists is over kill, it must think for it self and figure out the way with out human intervention.

Use lots of smaller poles and make it really roll like a cylinder.
