Untested and untestable are two entirely different concepts. Untested implied we can test it and have to do so. Untestable implies we are presently incapable of testing the idea.

You'd be surprised how much /. decayed from its inception in 1997 to 1999.

Every one of those bohemians from his early days all became wealthy, yet he was one of the only ones who actually lived as minimal a lifestyle as possible with all of his wealth. Steve was all about cutting edge style even when he was managing an Apple orchard for a hedonist later turned Copper Mogul and Conservative dick head, while up in Oregon.

Definitely not a writer.

Steve Wozniak is on record stating that Steve designed the layout of everything on the Apple II down to how to layout the ICs. Wozniak could have cared less but saw the merit in Steve's constant design critique to make things organized, minimalistic and right down to the look of the inside of cases not to be nothing but some piece of crap sheet metal cover, ala today's typical PC Clone shell.

It's real simple: You won't get authorization for launch in any air space and it's easy to get the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch to shut it down.

Suck on it Sammy!

Seeing as an ideal Carnot Cyle is 50% theoretical this claim of 50% is just a typical 50% increase over a currently 17-22% efficient engine. It's not that impressive. The fact they haven't married a composite block with the heat capacity of ceramics without it's brittle nature to double or triple the heat internally to more efficiently use the fuel dumped is more a business decision than an engineering decision. They've demonstrated since the 1990 DoE Challenge of producing 90+ mpg engine designs and not one of them has ever come to market because they legally aren't required to do so.

Works for Apple. Yes, Steve Jobs was a staunch Liberal. So is Steve Wozniak. Besides Eisenhower [who taxed corporations and the wealthy in high numbers] not a single Republican President has ever balanced the budget once. But in reality, HP cannot find Hewlett or Packard with their technical prowess and ability to find skill to rebuild HP in its current form. HP is better of breaking up into several corporations and selling off some of the units, fire all the MBA hats making decisions and take 18 months to rebuild and retool their direction with technical talent.

Mostly true, but critically what is lacking is the temperance the Founders placed in the Constitution and expected guidance of this through the Amendent process for they realized that Man's ability to evolve technologically would far exceed any fantasies they imagined and therefore the idea we can arm ourselves like Transformers which nut jobs proclaim is their right would most certainly have never been implied from the Founders. The right to bear arms, first and foremost was a means to allow the citizenry the right to provide food on the table, to protect against trespassers on their land and person; and finally to come to a call for duty with arms ready because the Founders could have never foreseen modern society and it's economic systems so never imagined governments there to protect 300 million plus citizens.
