GP can't show a study there to prove his point because there's none. For sure there are studies on the effects of mobile phone use, but none of them does point to cancer risks.
Among the 2200 results are a number of studies on the influence of mobile phones on cells and EEG rhythms.
Scientists have reported other effects of using mobile phones including changes in brain activity, reaction times, and sleep patterns. These effects are small and have no apparent health significance.
And for cancer risks:
Several studies of animals exposed to RF fields similar to those emitted by mobile phones found no evidence that RF causes or promotes brain cancer.
Interesting, I don't really understand Sony corporate structure, but as far as I know, Sony Music Entertainment was a separate company Sony bought in late 80s (Wikipedia seems to back this up).
Do really they ditched their core business (high tech) for their media business? Wikipedia says the same as you:
The AIBO and the rest of Sony's artificial intelligence program was discontinued after 2005 in Sony's effort to make the company more profitable.
But offers no source. Sony AIBO Europe announcement doesn't says it was ditching the whole AI and robot program. This seems very strange.
There's seems to be at least one (really liked that page design) Sony Lab out there.

It needs to go through a (lengthy, expensive) requalification process to fly after 2010 due to a Columbia Accident Investigation Board decision. That's the usual explanation for not flying it past 2010. (Source - could not find a direct quote from the Columbia Accident Investigation Board)
With a 15 m resolution, each pixel is 15^2 m^2 ->225 m^2 wide. Is pretty rough except for a few uses, such land uses analysis - since it's difficult or impossible to spot small areas in it. Anyway, it's not like 15 meters were not useful, just 1 meter is better.

SUBTRACT B FROM RESULT-2 GIVING NUMERATOR. MULTIPLY 2 BY A GIVING DENOMINATOR. DIVIDE NUMERATOR BY DENOMINATOR GIVING X.
At first, ethanol in Brazilian fuel is nothing more than a subside for northeastern Brazilian farmers, just like it is a subside for US corn farmers. It's not economically friendly. It's a more like a farming sweat shop. Northeastern Brazil is, by far, the country more backwards place. Workers live in substandard conditions and slavery is not really uncommon in poorest places.
At second, it's not environmentally friendly. Sugar cane is burned before being harvest. Particulates and smoke are really bad for neighbor population. Lack of crop rotation impoverishes the soil.
I'm a Brazilian myself and, obviously, new exports are always welcome. But not sugar cane. Let it die. It's just a way for the the country semi feudal elite to keep exploiting poor people, like it's being doing since 1500. Let the soil grow food. It's not a solution. It never was.
Why don't you go for Qt 4.5 beta? It's available both under GPL and a "special beta license" (dunno what that means). When Qt 4.5 is officially released (about March '09), supporting LGPL, you already playing with it.
I've been working with it for about a year and it's really nice. It feels somewhat bloated sometimes and I really dislike the Visual Studio integration. Qmake could be better. But, overall, I believe is the best framework for C++. It's really nice to work with.
It probably just means using the same launch compatibilities. The US Military relies heavily on ULA, an umbrella company for Boeing and Lockheed Martin, for doing it's launches. The Delta IV could probably fill this role if rated for manned launches - which should be expensive by itself, I presume.
The last mile is common. Says 60% of the households buys from Supplier 1 and 40% from Supplier 2.
Supplier 1 puts 60% of the gas in the pipe and Supplier 2 puts 40%.
For each individual household doesn't really matter from where his gas (or energy, or...) comes, it's just affects the whole system. With customer choice.

Qt Creator has Vim bindings. It's possible to create non Qt applications messing with settings on the .pro file.

You should try to read How Software Companies Die by Orson Scott Card. A short essay on the same subject as GP. Really nice.

3 There have been a few sucessful commercial launches
No, there's a plenty of commercial satelittes launches every single year. ULA, EADS Astrium, Orbital to name a few.
I don't know where to get statistics for this but a commercial launch is something very common place.

A rising currency means exports are more expensive to foreign buyers.
Red pigment is made from insects. I never ate another red M&M in my life.
Actually, sometimes I feel that if I knew from where the other pigments came from, I would never eat again.

A snippet from Wikipedia COBOL article:
MULTIPLY B BY B GIVING B-SQUARED. .5.
MULTIPLY 4 BY A GIVING FOUR-A.
MULTIPLY FOUR-A BY C GIVING FOUR-A-C.
SUBTRACT FOUR-A-C FROM B-SQUARED GIVING RESULT-1.
COMPUTE RESULT-2 = RESULT-1 **
SUBTRACT B FROM RESULT-2 GIVING NUMERATOR.
MULTIPLY 2 BY A GIVING DENOMINATOR.
DIVIDE NUMERATOR BY DENOMINATOR GIVING X.
Not pretty.
I'm sorry, but your argument is bullshit.

It would be interesting to do it.
