There are some great alternatives to Windows: Mac OS X and Linux, but people and businesses are still choosing windows. The problem isn't lack of competition, its humans' hesitation to adopt new technology.
From the article: "However, in other experiments, the researchers demonstrated that mice with impaired olfactory functions can also be taught to fear their predators."
I'm curious what the mouse does when it sees the cat. If a man was blind folded & thrown into a cage of lions, I don't believe it would take long for him to pee himself. The point is that humans' secondary sense (hearing) easily fills in for the lack of primary sense (sight). If the mouse's sense of smell completely dominates the other senses, then maybe there isn't a secondary sense that readily fills in the gap. However, when a humans eye sight is impaired, eventually his hearing becomes more acute. Perhaps the mouse learns to fear the cat when its senses become more adept at detecting the cat.
It appears that the article was not written by one of the scientist that did the study. Their input would be very useful for filling in the empirical gaps. There's gotta be some white papers floating around somewhere...
Question: how many people are waiting in line to get a job on a submarine?
What I'm getting at: is the military having a hard time filling these positions?
I doubt Facebook will move over seas regardless of the laws. Without having (at least) mirrors located in the US, latencies would be too high & users would complain. This is why there are so many DNS root servers located in the US. They'd bet on lobbyist before moving their entire op out of the US.
adding to this...
Similar technologies are used in both DB2 and Oracle.
The patent issue sounds like a shared nothing architecture (an idea that's been around for ages) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_nothing_architecture
I agree that fighting piracy is a futile battle.
However, monetary reward for creativity is arguable the primary driving force for innovation in the US.
Ubiquitous piracy might be impacting the drive for innovation - case in point: anyone hear about that strike in Hollywood?

This is just semantic nitpicking. I'd hope most of us understand the common usage of the terms "cold war" and "war."

... the infamous $500 wooden volume knob is no longer on sale. That's too bad. I was hoping to go green this yearDid he blink binary ASCII text?
Maybe NSA is using reverse psychology & the flaw is really in one of the other 3 algorithms :)
They need to engineer the bacteria to consume ammonia. Then our cars could be fueled off of urine. No more fuel transport cost & its carbon neutral!
