The Solar Impulse, however beautiful and amazing it is, is about as useful as a production aircraft as a sailplane. Probably worse actually as sailplanes are quite capable of flying in moderate upwind.

Well, the Galaxy might be a Messier object, but it iPhone 5 isn't.
or was that the pun...
You'll need to give them at least two tables, so that they can put at least two documents side by side.
In the military there are provisions against executing illegal orders; how come the operators DID send the mail ? weren't there provisions against this ? How was did Eichmann defense stand ?
"but I'm reasonably comfortable right now"
Chance is you're not rich, hence not mooting my point
There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning
If by "work hard" you mean go to a business school where they will give you a adress book of other self content bastards who will exclusively hire you instead of someone competent and teach you how to maximize short term profit until you can use your golden parachute (only to be hired the next month by another rogue corporation's board), then that's what you deserve. This is about 50% of the rich, "hard working people". Add to that the 45% of lucky sperms, and you have 95% of the rich out there.
Working hard is by far no guarantee to get wealthy.
Being rich is by far no proof to have worked hard.
It took us 250 years to ramp up a (profitable) industry that ultimately boils down to turn turning craploads of alkane chains into water and craploads of carbon dioxide. Unless we find a process that does the opposite orders of magnitudes faster and at near zero cost, it'll take thousand of years to reverse the effects.
And I haven't begun yet on how we could possibly control such a system with 1) no measurable effect before decades 2) no idea if we fuck up something else with the side effects before centuries.
Frankly, we'd be better off learning to live with the effects.
After all, it stands to reason that nature would have already worked out the most efficient way to collect solar energy eons ago.
then attacking firemen when they tried to rescue the families in the flats above
Then shooting policemen. And steeling their helmets. Then going to the toilet in the helmets. Then sending them to the policemen's grieving widows. Then steeling them again.
Uberhaupt, how can they tell the difference between an unsigned MP3 that you legally purchased, and an unsigned MP3 that you got off Napster ? Do you have a legal obligation to keep a proof of purchase or do THEY have to prove that you download it from an illegal source?
You had mules? We were just rich enough to afford triceratopses to go to our cave parties. Have you any idea how awful triceratopses smell ?
