Not trying to troll here, but right now we are barely at the start of understanding how these forces work. How exactly does gravity work? Can its forces be duplicated in a lab? Until then its still a really good theory and the best one so far.
Maybe you had the urge to taunt dangerous animals but I never did. If you feel like killing something then go hunting. I nominate the guy who died for a Darwin Award. Its a tiger, anything smaller and less powerful than it is food.
Wanna bet the tiger would still be in its cage if these drunken idiots had decided NOT to shoot it with a slingshot? The only tragedy here was the tiger having to be killed.
You think nobody thought of this scenario before shooting a billion dollar satellite into space? Look what happened a number of years ago in Florida when a rocket carrying a communications satellite exploded before it left the atmosphere. http://www.cnn.com/TECH/space/9808/27/rocket.blast2/index.html
Its all about the storage medium used. You're telling me you want to rely on a hard drive thats been sitting in storage for half a century or film? Film can be restored and if the picture degrades then you stil have something to work with. What happens when you lose bytes here or there in your digital film? Pixelation or loss of a frame all together. Then comes the problem of codecs? Will anyone be able to play a VC-1 file 50 or 100 years from now?
Different people have different opinions on political topics. Next you're going to tell me the wikipedia article on Linux is not very nice towards Microsoft.
What pollutes more, a continuous train of burning coal or a hundred pounds of isotopes? Now before you all start bitching about disposal of nuclear material why not just load it into a rocket and point it towards the sun?
The old laws simply need updated to reflect todays technology. Unfortunately the govt is too busy worrying about how many ounces of breast milk you can carry on plane to investigate this matter. At this point the accused party might as well have beat up some cops and then raped their wives to get 20 years.
Set up a fake video site like youtube and have a gif show up instead of a actual video player. Tell the user they must install the plugin (some exe file) to watch the video. Anyone with limited html skill should be able to pull that off.
The lawyers. Three years later when Apple cuts you a check for $50 and the lawyers get $150 I'll be using my new iphone 2.0 that cost $99 and has more features.
Most warranties guarantee against manufacturing defects. Not against people opening their phones, scraping the solder mask off a trace, and soldering leads the trace and the nearest 0402 size part. Try adding brake fluid to the oil in your new car and see what the dealer says about your warranty.
The government probably pisses away more money per day than all the power sellers combined. I LIKE when people figure out ways to cheat the govt. The govt is probably cheating you as we speak, I'll be completely honest whenever they decide to disclose where every penny goes.
You mean the company's first priority is to make money? Say its not so! All this time I thought Apple was around to make people feel all warm and happy inside.

Its probably a combo drive like the dvd-cdr/w drives that could burn cds and only read dvds.

Spend $18.99 on a cd or spend all of 18 minutes on bittorrent. Hmmm wonder what a young person of today would choose?
You mean the "editors" or should I call them janitors at slashdot not bother to read an article before posting?
support and liability. Think about them...
If the US govt implemented this idea then everyone who was illiterate or born without arms would sue under the disability act.

The whole reader is 2.2mb, Adobe's is more than 10 times that and foxit still has the same functionality!
Odd that its $60 CDN when the currency is equal now.

How do they generate fields that strong? Huge amounts of current with some type of active cooling? I always wondered that.

Sounds almost like a Mr. Obvious sketch. What do you mean technology prices drop over time?
The entire download is just over 1mb and it loads PDFs quicker than the 40+mb pile of shit known as "reader".
