Yeah I saw a for sale sign on this property I bought and when I bought it the county folks told me I couldn't build a nuclear waste disposal site on it (something about zoning and regulations).
I me hell I own it! I should be able to do whatever I want with it.
The point is you can own things but often you are limited by legalities one what exactly you can do with it.
Yum no, he wasn't depending on MS or a specific future release of an MS operating system.
He was trying to start a business to provide a product that MS doesn't current provide as part of the OS but had announced, at least aspects of, as possibly being part of Longhorn. He couldn't get venture funding because of this announcement by MS yet its release wasn't really likely until 3+ years out (if at all), giving him a decent window to develop and release the product. In other words hit was bitten by MS [semi] vaporous product announcements.
We all have to be happy that the wonderful world of RFCs have kept ASCII artists employed for 35 years and from the looks of it will for generations to come. Congratulation!

What amazes me isn't so much that they discovered evidence of water on Mars, it's that they've discovered so much of it so quickly!
A little nit pick... we already knew Mars has water (H20) and relatively large amounts of it, the ice caps are rather obvious for one. The current probes are looking for evidence of liquid water in the past and its prescience / effects in various regions on the planet that look very much water affected based on macro structures seen.
The longer term goal is looking for water environments that are favorable to the formation and support life (based on our experiences on earth) so we can focus future explorations on finding evidence of life in the most likely places on Mars.
I know you likely know this and meant it in the above but others may read the wrong thing in your post.
Anyway I agree that the probes and the teams that designed and support them have done one hell of a great job!
No it is really more about expected content of a media event that parents used to control what they want their kids to see. They have that right. They usually expect a certain level of cleanliness from prime time shows and sports events, this violated that without warning. This is what pissed folks off.
Anyway I personally think her breast was about the only good thing in the whole of the half time show...
FYI, by targeted in my prior post I meant to imply the monitoring known/suspected sources and receivers in a communication, cell phones used by a particular group, etc.
The US and just about any intelligence agency with enough funding have been monitoring wireless communications. I do not believe any law exists that protects the intercept of openly transmitted signals, if you broadcast it folks can listen. Regardless it is permitted by law, for say the CIA, to monitor non-citizen communications especially outside of the country (obviously in a covert way).
Additionally you think the government has folks listening to EVERY communication, talking notes, talking about them at the water cooler with friends, etc.? No, no government has the resources to do that.
What they do have is targeted monitoring, software/hardware looking for patterns of communication, particular voices, particular phrases, etc. that get something flagged for further analysis.
Think of it this way... if you are at the Airport and you overhear the guy next to you say the words "PLANE", "HIJACK", and "BOMB" while he is talking with another person...
What would you do? What would you want others to do?
Nothing prevents an artists or record company from distributing such items on a music service such as iTunes other then any legal restrictions or lack of desire on the part of the artist or record company.
I bet this is a temporary problem. I have heard talk about some artists making such items available on iTunes. Currently you can get "exclusive" tracks from many artists on iTunes and those are often special cuts, remixes and/or live performance versions.
The RIAA cannot get money from an artist or company that is not member. The RIAA is NOT a record company but a trade group whose main goal is to represent the U.S. recording industry (the record companies, artists, distributors, etc.). Its mission is to protect the right of artists, etc.
I believe membership fees for the RIAA are based on gross revenues... ahh this outlines it.
In some ways the RIAA is like the ACLU, almost everyone hates it at some point until it is defending a constitutional right that they care about.
In the book 2061 it talks about humans capturing a huge shard of the diamond core that was ejected after jupiter was ignited at the end of the 2010 book. We (humans) use this shard to cover earth structures with diamond coverings and a build huge ring around the earth from it for use as a space platform if I recall correctly (read the book 10+ years ago).

Actually 64-bit computing is not just about larger address widths but the fact that those CPUs also (usually) have 64-bit wide general/integer compute units. So a 64-bit CPU can actually run faster, sometime much faster, nearly 2x for 64-bit wide integer operations on average.
So in reality a 64-bit CPU can boost performance of many everyday operations (most file/IO systems use 64-bit offsets, system counters are often 64-bit, lots of data/stream processing task, etc.).
True the average user doesn't need 64-bit wide addressing (which Apple doesn't currently offer in Mac OS X) but they can use the performance boost that 64-bit general/integer operations can yield.

A lot is done with extra shielding but often radiation hardened chips use larger feature sizes then modern equivalents. The larger the features the more resilient they can be to particle/energy hits. Basically they are harder to damage permanently.

no no no... it is OBVIOUSLY swamp gas.
Any government official would know that, so what are you really?
However just remembering something that you learned in the past isn't in itself a good indication of intelligence.
The ability to synthesize new knowledge based on the experiences and knowledge you have learned is a much better measure.

burn them onto MP3 disks
Just a small correction: You can burn them to audio disks, you cannot transcode them to MP3 but have to encode from an audio disk to MP3.
(of course solutions exist to get around this but their use is not allowed for by the iTMS usage terms).

How much is "some" and any reference you can point out?

True. I didn't say otherwise, was just pointing out one common aspect.
