If only they were capable of receiving signals from some sort of satellite.

Then you are not worried about helium leaking. You're worried about oxygen and nitrogen leaking in. Thankfully those are all WAY easier to stop then helium, and a properly designed device shouldn't have trouble.
Why lower lifetime?
If I start with the drive full of helium, and then some leaks out shouldn't the density of the gas in the drive then be lower? And if less dense gas reduces strain shouldn't the lifetime of the drive then increase?
Incorrect.
Placebos have no active ingredient. They can have an effect, it even has a name, it's called the "placebo effect".
Who exactly is "They"?
The original EPA press release specifies NOx emissions.
"This results in cars that meet emissions standards in the laboratory or testing station, but during normal operation, emit nitrogen oxides, or NOx, at up to 40 times the standard."
Because if you called it transparent alumina, people would accuse you of ripping off Star Trek.
No I didn't.
I did notice one part of the summary where they converted 100 km to 62 miles, and another where they noted that different groups define the edge of space differently, with some using 100 km as the boundary and others using 50 miles. However, at no point did I note someone trying to equate 100 km to 50 miles. Can you point it out for me?
EZ Pass has a battery.
Both of those options are stupid. If someone sends a text to your phone number, and that number is associated with an iMessage account then it should try to send the message via iMessage, and when it doesn't get delivered to your phone - regardless of if it gets delivered to any other devices - it should send a text to the phone number.
Sapphire is hard... 9 on the Mohs scale, and the only substance harder is natural and synthetic diamond.
Lots of things are harder then Sapphire, particularly carbides and borides. Examples include silicon carbide, titanium carbide, boron (the hardest element) boron carbide, and boron nitride.
I find it difficult to believe... so...do you have any references that says Gorilla Glass is cheaper and harder than Sapphire?
No one ever said it was harder, they said it was stronger.
I don't know about "safe" but the original design for the Hyatt Regency walkway would not have been up to KC's building code.
Nobody seems to be asking what the definition of "50% of the time" is ?
Over what interval/time frame?
If the opponent throws scissors or paper on his first move is he then required to throw rock on his second move?
Probably because they read the link which describes how "50% of the time" is determined.
Ideal follows a very consistent color scheme. Grey outside, yellow instrument face.
Fluke also follows a very consistent color scheme. Yellow outside, grey instrument face. The only exceptions appear to be instruments designed for very specific environments where you want to be damn sure your meter isn't going to cause an explosion, which appear to be red on the outside.
If you showed me 50 meters from those two companies I'd have no trouble telling which belongs to each based on the coloring scheme.
All you seem to have shown is how exact a copy the sparkfun meters had to be to run into trouoble, because something as trivial as inverting the color scheme is enough to avoid it.
So I give up. What was the point you were trying to make?
With all the laws we have now the idea of a "law abiding citizen" is a fantasy. Everyone has broken some law.
Adoption includes the state in the process of granting and terminating parental rights. So it isn't an agreement between "two persons".
Ya'll hear about the geometer who went to the beach to catch some rays and became a tangent ?
