I wonder how much cheaper it would be to actually finish some projects as planed
Maybe they can get help from google? I can see it now, NASA labs.

Oh well, back to making planes that don't fly. Or catch fire.
Yes, but rockets are supposed to catch fire.
5: Of course, the bad guys will have this technology sooner or later. Now, watch stretches of I-10 become nice kill zones for thieves who are desiring either pickup trucks for Mexican drug runs, or just to pop caps in people once their car is stopped to get soldier status in their gang.
Of course a crook using them on civilians is a possibility
Because someone has an analog tv that is "good enough" doesn't make them a "crusty luddites" (holy crap
The CEO takes way more than 12 times the risk of the minimum wage employee. I work at a fortune 500 company (one of the Forbes "best" to work for) and I wouldn't want a $96/hour employee at the helm. (that's assuming we employe minimum wage workers at ~$8/hour). Let me ask you this, was Steve Jobs worth more than $96/hour? Look at where Apple was before and after his return and I'd say yes.
This law won't increase the lowest paid worker, it will (as others noted) increase outsourcing, loophole finding, or (worst case) promotion of incompetent people into positions of influence.
I need mod points! To answer Lister's question, in 2013 there are some passable curry houses but I greatly doubt the 60's had any.
What does one use this for?
Self-achievement? Learning? To get chicks?
Silk road?
Well,
are there FBI ahead? if there are we'll all be dead!
what I wouldn't give for a holocaust cloak
(I just proof-read this and I think I might be getting a visit from our NSA friends sometime soon.
Do we have a problem with people using drugs of their own free will if those drugs have no negative impact on their lives?
"free will"? Ask a smoker if they smoke from their free will. They GOTTA smoke. Maybe, just maybe, the first one was of their free will (more like peer pressure or need for a stimulant or something non-free will); but their choice in the matter dissolved long ago.
Even if there was an antidote to clear the haze, the addiction would still be there and there would still be no free will about it. I think this is an important point. This synthehol might make society more ok with addicts, it might make addicts more ok with being and addict, but those enslaved by it would not be "free-er".
If it lands on someone's head, would it not be, technically speaking, a homicide?
No, it would not be homicide; it would be ironic. As illustrated by Scott Adams (Dilbert Newsletter 49.0 @ http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/972846/posts):
I've also learned recently that "ironic" means anything you want it to mean. Example:
Me: "I heard that Bob was killed by a meteor."
Induhvidual: "Wow. That's ironic."
Me: "Why is it ironic? Was he an astronomer?"
Induhvidual: "No, it's ironic because, you know, what are the odds?"
Me: "So anything unlikely is automatically ironic?"
Induhvidual: "No, it also needs to be bad."
Me: "This conversation is ironic."
5:Informative?!? To answer a question you asked
He was infamous for his "infamous"?
I'm confused, you mean information can actually be conveyed via air vibrations?
They're made out of meat. What do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. They can sing by squirting air over the meat.
SISKO: A lot of them. Daneeka, McWatt, Snowden, Orr, Moodus. All of them were officers on the Okinawa when I was Leyton's XO. As far as I can tell, every officer on this list served under Leyton at one time or another.
So is Snowden that common of a name? What are the odds that that particular name is used in an episode about terrorism, espionage, and intrigue? And about government agencies invading the privacy of its populace to make them feel secure?
