Maybe the European government will do something similar to what they did for cellphone's charging ports (require all manufacturers to use micro USB). And as for the cellphone change, it would hopefully be applied mostly across the board by manufacturers (in USA too).

I don't know if it is true, but I think that many commercial receivers that you can buy nowadays don't allow you to listen to those frequencies

I don't know, but you probably won't be able to put groceries from some stores in that car... unless said stores shell out 30% or something crazy.

both in Canada and USA, there is plenty of house parties but you can get in trouble for drinking in the streets... but there is private beaches and such, at hotels for example.
Also, the pictures that you posted appear to be a private area...

on: PaperBack – How to store data on a single A4/Letter sheet
I'm not sure how long it would last but how about something like a bubblegram [1] (laser crystal)... You could use a flatter plastic block and create a 2D image inside. Also, maybe other materials can be used.

it is probably actually much less then that since Facebook doesn't appear to store full resolutions... for example, they serve a very low quality version of the original picture...

I think that it means that thing #1 and thing $2 might appear to be just as difficult to untrained eyes while one would require very little work because of what's already available (libraries, data or whatever) and the other would be a very large task because most of the work hasn't been done yet (but of course a different engineer might be able to find more efficient ways to do things)
