"Hey, we've been in the business of standardization a long time, we know we got gamed, and we're going to clean it up as discreetly as we can manage now that the harsh light of public attention is on us."
Human life does have a monetary value. Every day decisions are made in hospitals, health insurance administration, and military procurement that prove that. More to the point, if someone causes a broad enough swath of economic damage I guarantee you that deaths will result.
Very true, but an excessive clinging to "traditional" ideas can result in disaster when those ideas become outmoded by the changing world. We need some people to cling to the status-quo and others to seek progress.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
I bought a new Dell Dual Processor AMD 2GB RAM, and it can't play DVD movies without stuttering the audio track. Same DVDs play just fine on my $50 cheap-o portable DVD player. If an OEM like Dell can't select hardware that works with Vista, I'd say it's severely broken.
Also, browns require more than one color to be displayed (although presumably one can dither).
The only problem I can see with this material is that one color will require the shortest distance between crystals, and another will require the longest distance (Red vs. Indigo). When displaying all of one color on a billboard display, will the difference in size actually rip the display out of the frame?
One must accelerate to over 6.96 miles per second to hit escape velocity, so except for metal ingots I'm not sure what you'd be able to launch. I know project harp built several hardened probes, but there are definite limitations on the type of payload you can send up at that speed. You also need a gun with a very even slope, and huge tensile strength.
From a tech standpoint you are right about freeway commuting in a hybrid, but CA offers HOV (Carpool) lane access to hybrids (if you got the sticker in time).

Actually I suspect what they are saying is:
"Hey, we've been in the business of standardization a long time, we know we got gamed, and we're going to clean it up as discreetly as we can manage now that the harsh light of public attention is on us."
However, I could be wrong on that.

A lot of municipalities will actually cite people for feeding meters past the time limit.

There was a wired article on fMRI lie detectors.
"How come there are 35 requests for implementing multimedia extensions to accelerate the translation of Esperanto to Klingon?"
"Because they all came from AMD's ip space?"

I don't think there is any gray there. However...

My 86 year old grandmother surfs the web all the time. I think you are a bit of an ageist troll.
Well I guess we know now what a wookie would do if he got his hands on a million dollars.
You have to have seen office space for this to be remotely funny
You know the new printers come with cartridges with 1/2 or less ink than refill cartridges right?
Command line is fine, but the implication that this is a moving target for scripting isn't.

Meanwhile... 7-11 just sold their first petagulp.
Coincidence? I think not.
Wait, yggdrasil is a linux distro, surely it wouldn't generate an ax of servitude ;)

You haven't got the celebrity worship gene have you. Citizen, report to the nearest medical clinic for your Hollywood sponsored retroviral therapy.
