Alternatives, you don't have to have pressure at all. You can make electricity using only the temperature differential.
You just need a lot more holes to produce grid scale energy.

It's just mostly formed enough to be able to understand choices and consequences.

A mile down is nearly deep to have enough geothermal power to boil water just about anywhere on earth. If you can make it to 2 miles you would easily be over 100C.

Not lose their license. The case should be immediately dismissed in favor of the other side.
Let the client sue the lawyer for damages. That will fix the issue far faster than even disbarment.

Comment Monthly fees for robots (Score 1) 49
I think likely the biggest revenue generator for any AI company is going to be people paying monthly fees for robots. It sounds silly, but I can totally imagine a situation where there are a LOT of households paying $200+ a month for a robot servant.
How much would you pay for a personal chef, maid, butler, etc. Imagine coming home from work and you have dinner on the table, the house is clean and decorated for the holiday, etc. Robots are getting friggin' darn close to being able to do that. I think a lot of households would pay very handsomely for that.

Skype was awesome in the early 2000s. There was nothing like it. I could have and should have dominated the mobile and internet messaging industry, especially with the backing of Microsoft.
But instead, MS bought it up so that it would stop competing with MSN Messenger. They starved it.
I hope they don't do the same thing to GroupMe -which is still awesome despite MS.
