Been super busy - so it's not that I mean to ignore you...
I think a more painless is to use high explosives around the target's head.
You can prove scientifically that the target will not feel pain after the explosive is detonated because it is impossible for the pain impulses to travel faster than the explosion shockwave. Thus the brain would be completely gone before any pain signals arrive.
There will still be mental pain while waiting for the "trigger", but it should be about the same with other execution methods, and given that my proposed method can be scientifically proven to be painless, their mental pain could even be less. In contrast the other common methods or proposed methods are not provably painless and/or may still cause some discomfort for more than a few seconds (suffocation while not that painful is still not that pleasant).
The USA certainly has lots of explosives. There's plenty of technology to contain explosions safely. You could even use it as an opportunity to test some experimental "explosion containment" tech within proven containment devices/structures.
With Dell, you better not pay full price ever. Keep an eye on discounts, coupons, etc. If you don't get at least a 20% discount, you're getting ripped off. You only pay full price, if you absolutely have to have what you want right now, and let's be honest: most of us can keep running on our older gear for just a bit longer.
Yep think more about keyboard, monitor, drive, speakers, etc and they start seeming a bit weird
"because there's no market for it."
at the current rates, there will be over a million 4k TVs in homes buy the end of next year.
First: where's your citation. You shouldn't just make up numbers to support your argument.
If I understand you: they started selling 4K sets earlier this year. By the end of next year (1.5 years at least) they will have sold 1 million 4K TVs and you call that a market? Nielsen estimates there are about 115 million TVs in the US alone, NationMaster estimates over 1.5 billion TVs worldwide.
one million 4K sets is less than 1% of all US TVs and
Now lets compare that with some known success stories: Apple's iPhone 5s: sold 9 million units in 3 days and probably 500 million iOS devices in total sold.
xBox 360: 77 million sold by April 2013 (reported by Gamespot), PS2: 157M, Wii 100M (all from some quick Googles).
Those are numbers for a product or technology that consumers want and 3rd parties can make money selling to. Sure a small market can be profitable when a perceived value is achieve for the premium price (Bently, Rolls Royce, Aston Martin), etc. and the product does not depend on 3rd party products for popularity.
Data capping isn't really relevant to that - a hundred megabytes of, say, LAPD beating up a suspect or university campus police tear-gassing non-violent protesters is no bigger a datastream than a hundred megabytes of my cat chasing his toy mouse round the floor, when it's being uploaded to the likes of YouTube; once it hits there, I don't think Google use cable modems to send it from their datacenters. A hostile power would just cut the connection, whether you have an "unlimited" connection or a pay-as-you-go one - as has happened a few times in recent disturbances (Egypt or Syria?) - they don't bother looking at individual data packages anyway.
The poster further up had it exactly, I think: it's all about killing off competition from Netflix, Amazon and Hulu. Any guesses why else it would be Time Warner and Comcast - i.e. the cable ISPs - pushing this, rather than AT&T and Verizon? (Not that those two would be unhappy either, of course: more money, an easier market for their FiOS and U-verse TV offerings - but it's obviously Comcast and TW who have the most to lose.)
At work, we nog have a Xerox WorkCentre 6605DN. Scanning (with feeder), duplex, network, PostScript and Fax. It was a mere 650€. which is damned fine. From what I hear the consumables aren't that expensive (but not dirt cheap)... at least, I didn't get any complaints from accounting.
Here in the UK, DIN is still a used standard. Walk into an auto parts store, and they will quite happily sell you any number of DIN head units and a mount/adapter kit for your car (if it needs one...).
It is in the US as well. Seems like a non sequitir by GP.
