Famine, disease, collapse, or war. Those are historically the only ways inequality of anywhere near this level has been rectified.

The best restaurants in the world are in London. Of course they don't serve English food. The Brits just knew to bring the best stuff home.

Yeah, but if everyone hadn't played the game, that book would cost a thousand dollars.

So the headline just says physical edition, not PC or anything. Which had me thinking they printed out a book with all the maps and NPC stats and such as an adventure module. Obviously not true, but maybe it should be?

Because lies are a security risk. Which is a major part of why it's better to allow them into service openly. No secrets from the service, no leverage for betrayal.

The bribery potential of those officials violating the laws they're publicly supporting is the problem.

Financial stress. Go take a closer look at the crime stats that right wing racists like to hammer the black community with. Then adjust them for poverty rates in the community. All of a sudden the racial divide in violent crime goes away. If anything, poor white men are the most violent, but not by enough to really be significant. The driving factor, by around 10 or 15 to 1, is poverty.

We're seeing declining standards of living across the country, while technology hides the true depths of it. The whole, you can't be poor if you have a wide screen TV and a refrigerator, is almost true. It's just enough to make it look like having no bargaining power, being locked into your zip code, buried in debt, and renting everything you own, somehow represents wealth.

Because the stored patterns have the where, not the how fast. What would come out is a brain dead corpse.

The buffer contains the stream(s) before being sent to an emitter. It's not a hard drive, it's a container.

They don't create matter, they create an energy matter stream that moves the person molecule by molecule. How it happens is scifi magic, but it's not the same as creating new atoms, which would require every replicator to have the energy to obliterate a planet.

They really needed to listen to their enterprise customers. Windows Phone could have easily taken over as the 'corporate phone', if it had any integration at all. With the side benefit that their corporate customers also employ the developers that could build out the apps they needed to create the marketplace.

Instead they tried to take on Apple and Google, in an end user space that had already been thoroughly saturated, with a product that was barely on par.

Liquid in the scientific sense, it's more of a paste. Lithium hexafluorophosphate(aka LiFPO) mixed with Dimethyl carbonate or Diethyl carbonate which are just there to float the Lithium between the plates without letting it burst into flame from any humidity that might happen to reach in.
