A quote from the article:
Mr. Hirsch says that some of the subpoenaed material no longer exists and that he believes he has the right to keep other information secret.
Unfortunately the article doesn't mention a lot of other important characteristics of semiconductors. From what the article said, they basically have a new material for traces on PCBs, although at just one atom thick those would be easily damaged. For a semiconductor they have to be able to dope it. AFAIK carbon can be doped P but not N, so unless they can figure that out as well, it won't be any better than what we have now.
I don't think you understand censoring. Censoring is if the domain was managed and hosted in Cuba and access was blocked to the site. They just won't let the domain be managed/hosted in the States, not the same as censoring, maybe not right, but not censoring.
...we've discovered nothing whatsoever that is non-reproducible about the brain's structure and function...
Seeing as consciousness is considered a function of the brain, I would say that we most definitely do not have the capability of reproducing it, yet alone understanding it. For a working AI model of the human brain, neuroscience and psychology will have to come a long way.
Why should it? If he bought something marked that it plays Blu-Ray it should play any media that is also marked Blu-Ray, regardless of when either was bought. Just because it was the first player to market doesn't make it exempt. If they change the spec they should change the marking to at least show that the two aren't compatible.
Have you ever tried to uninstall IE? or WMP? Its rather difficult, pretty much locked in. It would be acceptable if OEMs could select what software to include. Instead of being forced to use the Microsoft version. Thats how they use their monopoly.
It seems the goal of a 3cm range is to have the devices next to each other. If anything it would use less power for the antenna (I have no idea how power intensive the DSP they are using is so power consumption may be irrelevant). I still think it would be quite useful. You would be able to stack devices that talk to each other without having to run a wire between them. You could have a docking pad and allow devices to sync just by placing them on it without plugging anything in.
You should be careful stating that you "won't ever pay for lossy compressed music." Everything that is digital audio is lossy. Its the nature of the thing. Most studios either master with analog, 96k or 192k. Meaning that most of the information is lost in transferring to CDs. I'm really hoping a new standard will emerge that further improves upon CDs. I know there was DVD Audio and SACDs but neither of those really caught on to the general public.
From the site:
Taking color pictures with the Hubble Space Telescope is much more complex than taking color pictures with a traditional camera. For one thing, Hubble doesn't use color film -- in fact, it doesn't use film at all. Rather, its cameras record light from the universe with special electronic detectors. These detectors produce images of the cosmos not in color, but in shades of black and white.
Finished color images are actually combinations of two or more black-and-white exposures to which color has been added during image processing.
The colors in Hubble images, which are assigned for various reasons, aren't always what we'd see if we were able to visit the imaged objects in a spacecraft. We often use color as a tool, whether it is to enhance an object's detail or to visualize what ordinarily could never be seen by the human eye
Even with a buffer overflow in the firmware of the card it would be much harder to exploit it for system access, the most you could do with it is control the network adapter (granted that is still a lot but much better than root). That is unless the application using the network card just blindly read in data without sanitizing it, in which case you are back to square one.

Because they saw it in the theater and decided it wasn't worth buying.

They would probably put a server (or cluster) on campus. Schools would probably even pay for this as it saves on bandwidth and mathmatica licenses.

I wish I could get a patent on a 15kHz sine wave

From this screenshot it appears that the pause functionality will be there.

In typical hybrid cars wouldn't the alternator be able to provide at least five minutes of charge during a two hour trip?
In a pure electric vehicle, five minutes of total braking should do the equivalent. Even on the highway you still hit the brakes every now and then.
I'm guessing that you could drive a little longer than just two hours with one of these.
Out of morbid curiosity I had to know, and it installed just fine. Thankfully it uninstalled just fine too.
I wonder what kind of "useful" data Wine reports...
