Octave will never be able to maintain compatibility with current versions of Matlab -- it changes too fast. In turn, Octave could become a decent Matlab 5 clone. *That* I would like to see.
Matlab is the de facto math software for any engineering processing that needs to be done. And they know this. They know this to the tune of, what, $3000 per license and $500/year "maintenence" fees? They are the Microsoft of the math processing software realm.
As an avid Matlab user, octave would be a good realm for lower dimensional mathematics. But, there's a nice foundation being set for python as an interpretive math environment. For the matlab lackies, matplotlib provides Matlab-like plotting support. For windows, grab the enthought compilation -- for linux, piecemeal together your environment starting with SciPy, MayaVi, and Matplotlib.

I've always wanted to color customize My-Unit based upon emotion.
hmmm, I think I can deal with dropped cell calls every now and then, and VoIP, although a bit noisy, isn't too bad on its own. But, together? Seems like one noisy-assed channel.

No way. Robots need old people's medicine for fuel. And when they grab you with their metal claws, you won't be able to break free because they're metal. And robots are strong.
"Unnecessary data?" No such thing in government security.
My guess is they simply have a load of data servers just sitting around, wrote up this quick pork-feast Dept of Education proposal, and bam -- here's a nice little grant to RFID college kids.
I think most of the excessiveness in Hollywood's production of uncut/special dvd releases is in response to the success that the LOTR franchise has had with the model. I would not fault LOTR, but rather the unimaginative, bandwagoning ad-wizards that think they can get more money from we-the-consumers by selling edited versions and non-edited versions.
BTW, aren't the words "Edited" and "Mastered" usually used interchangeably in this profession?
Coming in December 2007 -- The Lord of the Rings Special Extended Masochistically Over Realtime Edition!(LOTR SE-MORE). While past editions have been limited to theatrical versions, and the meager additions of edited footage, this new, unseen SE-MORE composite edition contains nearly 4 years of footage as chronicled throughout the books! Watch the entire 8 hours of the Battle of the Hornburg! See the full 48 hour attempt to pass by the snow-filled Caradhras! Don't miss out on the weeks of wedding preparations and ceremony for King Elessar and Arwen!
Includes long forgotten scenes such as: -"Denethor has a Difficult Bowel Movement" (backed by a new song by Billy Boyd, "Free as the Wind on Weathertop") -"Grima Wormtongue Gets Caught 'Killing Kittens'" -"Bilbo and Sam, The Next Morning" -"Saruman Iz No Playa-Hata -- whys Bitches Be Frontin Him in Izengard" -"Aragorn and Arwen Pick a Caterer"
New Characters(along with casting) include: -Tom Bombadil (Jack Black) -Buddy the Elf (Will Ferrell) -IronWood the Ent (Ron Jeremy)
Order now and we'll send you a free Viggo Mortenson autographed replica codpiece! Order two copies and also receive two free tickets to the Battle for Middle Earth on Ice, as performed by locked out NHL players! Act now!
From now on, I take my tinfoil hat off during my cranial exams -- on the other hand, you'll have to pry my burger king crown out of my cold, dead hands.

First couple things I thought of when I saw the conceptual ad:

2. Seriously, wtf?
3. A new Power Rangers design?
4. Cheap Peyote hits Tokyo?
5. Does it come in "Confederate Flag" with a gunrack?
