Also, Putin is supporting the treaty because it gives Russia a disproportionate share of the pollution credits. The excess credits can be sold in the global market place. The Russians were bought off!
CableCARD is not a result of a "deal" between Samsung and the Cable industry. It's the result of years of collaboration and a the "unidirectional agreement" signed by Cable companies and Consumer Electronics. See www.cablelabs.com for more information.
My point, that I did not make very well, is that Automobiles SHOULD NOT CRASH! But they do crash, and that in many cases it is operator error, i.e. driving too fast for conditions (yet the car let's them drive too fast for conditions), driving erratically or intoxicated (again, why should the car allow itself to become an unguided missle in the hands of an intoxicated driver?).
All these reasons are analogous to the same reasons why Windows crashes, i.e. people do stuff with their Window's boxes that they should not do...
As for the "Linux is sooo much better than Windows crowd because its sooo much more stable than Windows", give me a break. This is because no REAL software runs on desktop linux boxes. It's all chincy crap (that crashes too often or doesn't do much, so we don't use it). Please refrain drinking from the Penguin Cooler. You're driving the rest of us (Windows/Linux/MaxOSX) users nuts with the fanaticism.
Would you let some random person from the internet drive you and your children during the morning commute? The analogy is similar with computers. People install "random" software from the internet all the time, and they expect their machines to work FLAWLESSLY?
Ironically, 50,000 people die every year from Automobile accidents and no one looks to blame Ford or GM for these deaths.
It's probably not too far off to say 99.9% of Windows crashing problems are due to operator error from installing bad drivers (from other manufacterers), installing bad hardware, installing crappy software.
If GM made Windows, it would not be upgradable, it would run 1950's technology, it would cost $20000 every 5 years, and it would STILL CRASH!
Not a Microsocks fan, but it's funny how narrowminded some can be...

Good point about Rutherford, but Dalton should be particularly commended for striving to teach the greatness of the Scientic Method in resolving ideas with reality.
One could say that Rutherford had the "hindsight" of 100 years of Science to help him develop a robust theory of the Atom. I am sure Dalton would have done as well given another 100 years, good eyesight, and a healthy body.
Ironically, Nuclear Physicist Rutherford won his Nobel Prize in Chemistry:)
Give me a break. Swarm tactics are NOT new to military campaigns. It's called : gorilla warfare. It's called : not being predicatable. Its called : keeping secrets. So much crap written about NEW and wonderful techniques. Oh, I'm sure Rumsfeld's a smart guy and all, but he didn't invent swarm tactics. He didn't invent squat!
Instead of giving credit to all the current Media Hero's, how about some credit to all the hard working engineer's and support people who made this possible.

It is not invalid to model electrons as "small spinning blobs" of EM/energy packets. This is Modern EM/Quark Physics.
It equally valid in many contexts to model the electron as a "wave function". This is Modern Qauntum Physics.
What's the big deal?
right guerilla warfare went out with the gorillas...
