Personally it doesn't matter to me what Dells ship with anymore. I have a Dell laptop, I'm quite unsatisfied with it. I certainly won't be buying another one.
Seems like a pretty big assumption that they did understand the math behind it. Did they document and explain it? Its not like they were illiterate and didn't write things down and there are records of other math they discovered/developed.
So far the launch of SpaceShipOne was a non-event, and nothing but grandstanding. Now when the actualy start doing something profitable we may have something, but its still pretty much a.com; venture capital does not make for a successful enterprise. You want to see private industry making changes? try the Pegasus Launch Vehicle. Its been around for 17 years, http://www.orbital.com/SpaceLaunch/Pegasus/index.h tml and hasn't put NASA out of business yet.
As for big science failing, its a failing of congress and the president, not NASA. Sure NASA has issues, so does private industry; I'm quite familar with both. But big science fails because congress and the president find a bigger-better-deal and divert funding from one large project to pay for the new one. The old one then fails, and all the funding goes into the bigger-better-deal a few years later the cycle repeats. The POTS and COTUS need to show some genuine leadership, and stay the course or even ramp-up rather than looking for the next bigger-better-deal and cutting the current one.
Another reason for problems with NASA is NASA is always needing o prove itself to COTUS and POTUS. Because of this need to prove itself the politics work into every minute detail. NASA probably spends as much effort tracking what its doing to avoid being cut as it does actually doing.
Note: I have a bitter hatred toward MS and their products, but I hate class-action suits and the lawyers that profit from them even more.
As long as the lawyers get their payment in the same form of the people they're representing, I have no problem with it. M$ Pays with vouchers for M$ products,lawyer gets paid in vouchers for M$ products.
If the patented invention is done with tax dollars it should be considered a "work for hire" and the patent should be owned by the US Govt. The US Govt. should then be required to provide royalty free licensing to Citizens and resident aliens, and charge foreign users/corporations royalties.
Photos provided by NASA or any other agency would do absolutely no good. The nutters who say the lunar landing was faked will just claim that the photos of the site were faked as well.
It stands to reason that if NASA would fake the landing, the could also fake the photos and fake the science to take them. This is not the case.
If you think the lunar landing were faked take some real physics courses and then decide for yourself. Otherwise go back to working on the perpetual motion machine behind the trailer.
Assuming you haven't quit your current job. You need to got back to whomever made the initial offer, get things in writing and renegotiate salary and benefits based on what the relocation manager told you.
A salesman with sufficient skill will convince the board that he does have these skills, then attempt to hire people who really have them. He will them make sure that he has a golden parachute if he fails and will blame the failure elsewhere, only to sell himself to some other company as an experienced CEO. He will take credit for the success of others and put the blame for his failures elsewhere.

Once this is released maybe Duke Nukem Forever will follow?
Being physically capable and mentally capable are two different things. The proof of the ability to complete a given task in the task being completed, until then the comment stands as fact until proven otherwise. You ability to complete a physical task is not the same as Bush's ability to do is job as POTUS, and comparison of them is a bogus analogy. He's had 2 years of Republican Congress since the election to do what he wanted the way he wanted. He obviously can't fix Iraq.

Isn't "nearly ready for warships" similar to being "almost pregnant"?

This is what happens when you get big enough and the RIAA thinks you need to start paying dues.

You need to find another grocery store.
You haven't bought many Japanese CDs have you?

If its a link coming from somebody who has my financial information. Its spam/phishing. Sorry guys, you're waisting bandwidth sending me emails.
I think Roger Penrose is trying, have your read some of his meta-physical ramblings on consciousness?
Doesn't matter which occurs just so long as the agreement is in place and a matter of public record before the money is awarded.
No "company decides to buy to government out after it has been licensed and then demanding royalties from the licensees".
If the patented invention is done with tax dollars it should be considered a "work for hire" and the patent should be owned by the US Govt. The US Govt. should then be required to provide royalty free licensing to Citizens and resident aliens, and charge foreign users/corporations royalties.
They give the abstract away, but you have to pay for anything worth reading.
Like the mob.
Even if the company and/or employees are convicted of perjury, Microsoft will continue business as usual.

How about using book sales as a metric? Giving additional weight to literature, and non-fiction.

You join the Republican party if you think corporations have more rights than people.

It has been 2 years now, and Bush has not cleaned up his own mess, therefor everybody who thought he could was wrong.
