This seems like it might provide them will valuable data that they could use in design considerations.
On the other hand, if they did do this, they would probably not make it public and broadcast it to the general public. Who wants to ride in an airplane that you have seen in detail in a disastrous crash?
The documentary will probably start with a disclaimer, "This crash was caused on purpose. This do not happen to real planes made by Boeing. Please keep flying Boeing. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtains."
Burying military surplus is a great way to give future military historians and archeologists solid evidence to study in the future. It is inexpensive and should be done with other unneeded military hardware.
How to I determine if any of all this gargantuan amount of information is any good? Are they real reviews, from real people . . . ? Or thinly veiled spam . . . ?
I don't need any more information. I just want to get from point A to point B at a reasonable price with the minimal amount of hassle.
My parents used to have a thing called a "travel agent" who would do that for them. She knew may parents likes and dislikes, so one short call was enough to book a trip.
Maybe someone could patent that idea, and then implement it in software?
Please note the development order. Patent first, implement later.
Can they start suing everyone for downloading Journals . . . ? Their business model is being challenged, just like the music industry.
Hmmm . . . how can they claim intellectual property on papers that haven't been written yet . . . ? It will be interesting to see what their lawyers will come up with . . .
You want to study Computer Science? Enroll somewhere else. You live in Florida, and want to study Computer Science cheaply at a state subsidized school? Move.
If folks in Florida sees no point in educating Computer Science students, let 'em. The loss will be theirs. Say "Hello" to your new neighbors from India.
I'm sorry, Sir, but we are still not quite finished with the first round yet. You will just have wait for that to end, before we start the next round. House rules, Sir.
Actually, maybe you are on to a good idea there. Since the has the best mathematicians in the world, and unlimited computing resources, why not ask them to do a public service? Eliminate spam.
They should be able to identify the sources easily, if they are monitoring what everyone sends everywhere, or . . . ?
This is why Oracle is not going after IBM . . . yet
Or in public. IBM has a lot invested in Java for their software products. They cannot afford to let their customers get all jittery about looming SCO style shakedowns.
So maybe IBM had an agreement with Sun, that Oracle cannot wiggle out of? Or the lawyers for IBM an Oracle have already worked out a secret deal behind the scenes.
They weren't boozing and whoring it up in Columbia. They were MacGyvering at Secret Cyber Wargames. They needed the hooker for the elastic straps in her bra, as the key ingredient of their hotel made laser canon.
They can't let the truth get out, because, it is, like, you know, secret.
I'm just trying to imagine what both companies could have done, if the money for this had been spent on R&D projects. Probably both companies and their ecosystems would have been better off. Conflict between two titans rattles the earth, and shakes and frightens smaller beings.
Two years of hard core litigation? Which small companies can afford that? Even if a small company is clearly in the right, a giant can litigate them out of existence, before the truth comes to light.
'tis uneasy waters, in which we tread today, my fellows.
Manager, at the beginning of a project: "Forget the documentation! Just get it to run!"
Manager, at the end of a project: "Where's the documentation! You were lazy, and didn't write any!"
Documentation is at the ass-end of a project. The Manager's Manager wants to see something running. He doesn't accept paper as a currency. So documentation will always get low priority. And that ass-end will be hanging out and swinging in the breeze.
Someone could do a scientific study that proves that documentation cures cancer.
It will still get low priority in a software development project.
. . . and the Defense Department will pay you more than $2 million.
. . . Israel is rumored to be acquiring large amounts of clay and letters on parchment for a similar project appropriately code named as "Golem."
. . . and North Korea's missile launch will be foiled, when a Mechagodzilla springs out of the ocean and steals the missile, after emitting consuming a giant jar of Kimchi and flatulating the audience.
I pay a fixed amount every month, and then at the end of the year, I either have to pay more or get a rebate. Do you think that the public utility's billing software is smart enough to notice that my rebate is bigger than what I paid?

1) Hack the platform.
2) "Rick roll" every iOwner on the planet.
3) Profit . . .
4) . . . for Rick.
You reap what you sow.
Just kidding, Bruce.

It just won't fit in my backyard, even if I try.
Put in the front yard. It will keep the kids off your lawn.
Works for me.
I thought so.
Maybe at least it runs Linux . . . ?
Or, "In Soviet NASA, building greens you!"

Unfortunately, they are also completely bat-guano crazy.

I would fight the holes with my legs. And run and get the Hell out of that place.

Probably not.
