As long as it is in orbit, it can break up an a piece can rain down.

Or get hit by debris that destroys the satellite, sending radioactive material to earth. Seeing as 7 impacts have occurred already, that isn't an improbable scenario. This is the point of the article.

Point being, when everything is a full PC, saying “full PC” is near meaningless.

No. What turns people off is that they didn't just let Space Farmer die in the black hole. Instead he escapes, is improbably found, meets his beloved daughter, immediately leaves, and finds Anne Hathaway. Tell me that isn't incredibly stupid.

By that definition, my phone is a full PC.

All these people who continue to comment about the microUSB providing power are the same type of people that Reply All to be taken off email lists.

"Figuring out how to make the model work in the hot, humid Southeast is a bigger challenge, something the Europeans have not had to deal with."

Clearly the article shows otherwise. If you were right, these houses would be much more popular.

Or just fight with land and air drones and don't worry about armor.

Wait, the electricity is free? Who pays for the juice?

Don't be intentionally obtuse. You know

Papers, research papers not articles in Readers Digest, have been published on this? Then find me just one. Just one. You can't do it. You are full of it. Either show me that paper you claim exists or just STFU.

Seriously? You are going to try and use an ART HISTORY definition of "modern"? That would mean modern medicine existed before the first practical antibiotic!!! That is the most desperate attempt to try and win an argument based on a semantic trick I have ever seen. By your definition, the Model T is a "modern car"!…

Manipulating magnetic fields on a nanoscale level? Sure that's possible. Can you do that inside a living human's brain with an external device? That is much harder because of the dimensions wavelength of electragnetic fields. That is physics, not engineering, you pedantic knob. So please, spare me your intellectual…

Another clue that you don't know what you're talking about: not only have people thought laparoscopic surgery was possible for a long time, people were using laparoscopic techniques over a century ago. You seem to think it's a modern invention. You don't know medicine. And from your comments on magnetism, you don't…

Actually it was very easy to tell just how little you knew about the relevant science from your first comment. You mentioned magnetism as a possible way of stimulating neurons. Anyone who knows anything about magnetism knows that it could never have the resolution necessary to stimulate individual neurons. To do what…

Also, before you chafe yourself rubbing one off while releasing your edgy visionary post, notice that I never said there were "boundaries" or that these things were impossible. They are only a very long way off. I know that because I understand science rather than pray to it like a primitive science fanboy.

Oh, so my actual knowledge somehow makes me less qualified than you, someone who thinks you capitalize "humans". Give the anti intellectualism a break. Clearly you wish you knew about this stuff. It just comes off as you seeming jealous.

Your inability to see that this design is present in all Apple's products is what prevents you from understanding its value.

On the other hand, there are TONS of things like faster than light travel, time travel, mind reading devices, matter transformers, teleporters, nuclear fusion, etc that have been and continue to be way out of reach for many many decades (centuries?) to come. What you are asking is in that league, the seemingly…
