Maybe I'm stretching it a bit. But outside of military applications, it was pretty scare before the 1940s. Then scientists have become addicted to it like crack. Its nice to see tech moguls occasionally fund things like space & rocket science, medical aid etc.

I've seen various tours offered in Europe and from American science institutions. Here is an upcoming one. They let you get closer to the vehicles and the launch than does NASA.
Highlights:
The first paper I recall was constructing a 3D model of the Berkeley campus from individual snapshots.
Google Street View uses a variant of this technology.
MicroSoft and NASA joined forces after the Columbia accident to generate a view of the Space Shuttle from hundreds of closeup pictures taken from the space station.
I saw a paper by architects constructing the entire interior of an office building from a large series of snapshots. Its considered more accurate for building engineers than the architectural drawings.
And so did many other people to multiplex telegraph signals over precious telegraph lines. In fact generalizations of these techniques lead to the phonograph and telephone. Read Randall Stross Edison biography for details. He is a Silicon valley historian.
In the beginning most original symbols were picto-grams or small drawings of what they represented. Probably even in the first generation of scribes pictograms were borrowed as phoneto-gram "sounds like" for more abstract words. Then combined to represent more nuanced ideas. Then sounds changed, but the ideograph remained the same. Then ideograms became styles, e.g. blocky for both cuneform and Chinese or simplified. Or origins just plain forgotten after centuries of use.
Chinese is a second language to me. When you learn the characters the only sure thing is to memorize thier shape, drawing sequence and pronunciation(s) [ yes a few have multiple pronunciations ]. But there are clues to the meaning and sound in a majority of the characters, probably due to their history.
In the mid 1980s ObjectiveC was product supported by a software company while C++ an open-source hobby. I was a NeXT developer then. I can see why Steve would have wanted to go with something a little more solid. But it was that C++ was more open and FREE that made more attractive to the university crowd and hackers. So it leapfrogged over ObjectiveC for a long while.
I heard (cant find source) that LED efficiency drops off quickly after about ten watts of power (60W incandescent). Hence the DOE "L-Prize" of $10M (won in 2011) to push the envelope. They've reached the "reading lamp" level of quality, but not quite the overall indoor/outdoor lighting requirements yet.
The atmospheric methane time series is not a straight upward trajectory like CO2. Although the overall trend is upward, suggesting human causes. Cow farts, melting permafrost, natural gas well leakage are suggested sources of methane. Methane is reactive and decays fast, in about 20 years, so it must be replenished.
Thats how evolution seems to work. The middle section of the article points out the mechanism: duplication and modification of one branch.
Geneticists classify proteins into related families , that appear to have had common ancestors some long time ago.
Human trichromatic vision is an example. At some point primates doubled one of the eye colors to help them see fruit colors more easily. Canvivores are only dichromatic. In fact there are mutant human females with four color vision, that is only carried on the doubled X chromosome.
Huygens probe found almost every basic hydrocarbon there. Liquid methane flows shape Titan's continents and oceans. Super cold ice behaves like bedrock there.
And any new probe to Titan before 2030 has been shelved.
There are minimal Javas which strip out almost all the libraries, floating point, etc designed for small CPUs. I see little talk of this anymore now the smallest controllers may have a half gig now.
Plenty of cases where schools have to pay out large claims due to accidents. Schools also check for carpentry projects like lofts and too many appliances, both which may be dangerous.

MSFT Research has been a leader there for a decade. the technical programs was just announced Tuesday.

They seem to always get a piece of the action.

Should be incredibly easy to knock out if any one in the US had balls.
Start reminiscing your punch-card stories. Works everytime.
When you dont pay for what you contracted for. They graduated or left long ago.

Whenever I attended some recruiter-sponsored user group lecture, most of jobs they offer are for java and mobile.
And thats even before the Tea Party wields its knife in a possible Romney victory later this year.
These researchers are fighting for their careers!
