The issue is that we have a huge responsibility as a society to have some values, they may and often do vary, for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If a family doesn't value life then feed them violent games and let the mayhem begin. But don't expect me to pay for the jailing of those offenders when they act out their fantasy in a violent or criminal manner. Teach someone caring, love, tranquility and happiness and likely you will have just that in their and your lives. Teach them violence and they will often result to this as the way to play out their understanding of resolution to a situation. Society, freedom comes with a price. That price is responsible, reasonable teachings to the children and adults if needed via either education in a free society or in the penal system. The US penal system I can only guess loves this ruling, it means more folks showing up for 'work' at the jails.

You can use passive heating and cooling in the design of a structure and do without HVAC for most of the year. Bottom line is architecture and society's whim is responsible for selling inefficient systems to the public, the public is guilty of being dumb/ignorant, and the oil industry sells the stupid people what they want for 2000% over their cost and get stinking filthy rich and powerful. Who's to blame? Nearly everyone!

Where the X means they used to be, were at some point, and now are MicroShaft 2.0 done wrong (if there could be a right).

the governments they seem to be truly angry at and bring them down? I'm curious is there any virus or network that is exclusively targeting governments rather than average consumers that are ill informed or unfortunate to click and install some otherwise obvious infection?

No law or treaty is being designed to help someone, all of them are being designed by special interest groups and bought by lobbyists to help some massive money mongering corporate machine.

To never forget the Goatse itself may be a shitter of an organization but the people it targets may be even bigger shits.

*67 in the states to get around it and go anonymous. Nobody is likely to answer, but you can always leave a message or try again later. I recall (no pun intended) that a fella craiglisting some game I wanted to buy wouldn't answer his phone but posted it in his duplicate ad on FleeBay. I called, and called, and 2 months later the guy finally answered and explained why he had not been answering. I told him, hey, answer your damn phone if you post an ad with the number. Lesson is you can spoof, you can hike (Skype out has no real numbers associated with it) and of course you can just not call or answer if you choose. But stop wasting time with people if you ask to be called, and then don't answer your phone.

would allow an 11 year old to drive a car of any type. Maybe it goes the speed of one of the battery powered or wind up 'toy cars' that kids putz around on at home.

Right around when we were all to be partying like it was 1999? There was in the hype of the .com boom, and subsequent bust the promotional idea that this was a great idea and someone came out with a 4000 smell combo unit for the market. Nobody wanted to smell that crap, so it never sold. I think the biggest market is to test the porn industry smells, get them perfectionarily perfected and then it is no longer a proof of concept vapor ware IPO POS.

make magazine should take a look at the increase in cancer and sterility as a result of always on devices (or even sometimes on) and proximity to the point of the cancer. We are entering a new era for sure, and it may not be too pretty either.

Why isn't the details of this transaction public information, it completely destroys both company's credibility to not immediately disclose the financial costs in this agreement.

Back in the day, OpenIt! :) I think I even wrote some of that code. How times change, but ObjC still is the best damn mistake to ever happen in programming.

Pride is certainly one of them, and they spell it out in the promo. I have to hand it to the PR group at the UM that seem to have done a better job of actually finishing their project than the HPH have done to date. Setting up testing apps, fixtures are all great, but really what is the world is this going to do for practical aviation based on technology that is 100s of years old now? What is the economic and ecological footprint of this project? To achieve a goal, sure it is notable. But is it really worth it in the careers and advancement of education? I ask, wouldn't the money, time be better spent on more practical and useful applications? I say yes.

The current status quo can continue to grow, demand is ever higher every day. The source of freedom will be some other form of fuel, sun, electric, gas, hydrogen, whatever. However limited, the world will demand personal travel freedoms and markets resulting. Its just the way it will be, and the poor or unable to afford the costs will be in the bus watching others eating at the diner they just passed.

Today it would cost billions, and take years to do this. Just how far has the US come in flexible able engineering? It has gone backwards.
