You are either visibly typing on a phone, or have it running in voice mode with ear buds with a hand in your pocket. I supposed you could get blue tooth earphones and hide them under a hat or wig.
It took 2 billion years of evolution for eukaroyates- cells with complicated internal substructures- to evolve. Another billion for multi-cellular chemical signaling. That was 3/4ths of our evolutionary history. So most multicellular creature share about that much DNA.
At that time the Sony metro-center was trying to be a high tech playground. It had innovative video games, a new movie theater, a theme restaurant, action figure store, and the MicroSoft software store. I stopped by there to get free email updates. I store was in the center of "Dot com land" or SoMa lofts for high tech work and living. Lots of people from Stanford and Silicon valley lived there because it was just a train ride up the pennisula, with a urban ambience. That area faded a bit after the dot.com crash.
I remember reading some stories about this. There is so much derbis in earth orbit that it is too dangerous to send people into space. A spce-war or two was supposed to have added the critical amount.
Both of these companies were founded by ex-Apple managers (Gasse, Jobs) who thought they improve on Apple technology. When Apple was tanking in the mid 1990s it went shopping for obstensibly a new operating system or merger parter (Sun MicroSystems was a third option). Gasse wanted a billion and Apple wanted to pay much less. Well, Apple bought NeXT instead for $400M, Steve engineered a coup detat and the rest is history.
My answer: BeOS would have had a good chance of being OS#2 or #3 instead of Linux and MacOS. Sometimes the best technologies dont always win (MSFT).
The AFI is a hybrid government-industry organization charged with identifying and preserving key Hollywood films. It started in the 1960s when the fear was television would decimate Hollywood and original film negatives lost. Each year they choose 25 classic films for special preservation. Since then movie technology and economics has changed considerably. But there is still the chance that even digital films can be lost.
With 40% -50% of the world's wealth disappearing [so far] in the global financial crisis, limping projects like US space program and the LHC are tempting targets for cuts or elimination.
We've seen other digital media do this with varying success - cell minutes, AOL dialup, cable TV, Disneyland rides, etc. I'd pay like $50 a month or so for unlimited reading of new books and magazines.
I rarely read a book a second time. But I coudl still re-read a book in this pricing.
Some company patented a chapter out of PhD thesis adding one innovative claim to 12 existing steps. Neither I or my university had the resources to battle it - it wasnt a big money maker. Happens a lot.
Jealous people like the harp on the failures. Some of us like to celebrate the successes.
Many of the technological moguls are one-hit wonders and fade into the background with their millions. Its the people who are wildly successful more than once that are intriguing, even if they have several major failures along the way.
Teller was a persistent voice for space weaponry since before the space program started. He was probably the most influencial voice in convincing Reagan to start Star Wars. Teller based this on 3rd generation nuclear tests in the 1980s that created Xray lasers (they no longer need nuclear fuses).
I saw an interesting example of Teller's stubborness in the recent PBS documentary about Openheimer. From the beginning he promoted the H-bomb and distracted the los Alamos project. Even though 2/3rds of his ideas turned out to be wrong, the other third were very useful for bomb development.

The perpetual worry-warts in the UK then shift to worrying about invisible asteroids instead of global warming.
I'd expect more.
Its mostly used for informal emails.

Enough to overlap with homo sapiens sapiens (if not a pygmy race of HSS).

Thats what peer reviews are for. Both peers and courts can be wrong, but I trust the peers more.
People have suggested a "Science Court" with science-savy judges and officiers as a possibility.
Remove the local nature of elections the founding fathers sought.

Yes, thats same Bose who invented the namesake sound system. I think his was based on magnetic levitation.
With cost-saving gravitational assists, many of these proposed missions have time-lines into the 2020s and 2030s. Boomers wont be living that long.
Not the same as unlocking, which connecting to an alternative carrier.
I forgot whether you can walk out of the store without an ATT contract these days.
turn it into three middle seats!

Under-30s have departed from print to visual and aural media. This is the death of newspapers. I surprise books havent died yet.

It did most of what I wanted. Some tings have been added in the past 30 years.

The last time I visited I didnt have to fill anything out - just pay a small cover to "join the club".
Its supposed to be used solely for death or injury ID and destroyed after separation from the Service.
