I understand intellectually what happens in stars but I find it easier to comprehend whats going on with brown dwarfs. Even though we're talking about heat enough for iron clouds and rain it's a system that's familiar. Interesting.
It's not that the technology in either of those cases is beyond the state of the art. It's that there's no money in it for them. The money in those two cases are in the hands of the automobile and gun manufacturers.
The gun manufacturers have very little to do with it. In fact they try to keep a low profile in D.C.
It's gun owners and 2nd Amendment advocates that wield power because not only can they deliver some money they can deliver the only thing the money is good for: voters
Your photos have been adorning my desktops since I first discovered your site. I've learned that using the food pictures is NOT for people watching their weight.
Surely the RIAA must realize that they can make more money from small payments from a lot of source than from big payments from two or three sources.
While what you say is true it's not always the way decisions are made. I worked for some years at the HQ of a Fortune 100 company. I will never forget explaining to a VP how the method we were using cost the stakeholders more than was necessary and having her explain to me that the method we were using came out of another department's budget. Her (and my) bonus was based on how we spent our department budget.
If a record executive has decided that N'SUCK is will make x profit given n promotion dollars it is not in his interest to let other factors influence the outcome.
I'm all for getting a sawbuck for my efforts but the effort to switch is worth more then that. I'd been out of the *nix world for quite a few years when a friend showed me how easy it was to install SuSE on his spare machine. So I bought SuSE pro and now I've not a M$ product running in my house. I *might* have had just as satisfying an experience with another distro but I didn't. $10 is not the killer app that would intice me to change companies.
First of all, since when do we start supporting corporate america?
What do you mean we? I own stock in dozens of corporations thru my 401K and mutual funds and I use corporate products and services (slashdot for one) every day.
There is a lot of amateur engineers working on gadgets to improve the lives of people with disabilities. The market is often small but the rewards are tremendous. Enablemart shows has a lot of stuff that was invented in garages and small shops.
My friends who are geeks or geekish have this in common: they buy a lot of music and they download a lot of music.
My friends who are not geekish have this in common: They do not buy a lot of music because it's expensive and they don't download any music because they think it's a hassle and probably wrong.
The second group has the largest growth potential for the music industry and the artists themselves. If they make downloading cheap and easy they will make mo' money.

Maybe once it was on the ground it just didn't have anything new to send after a while.

More importantly, the NRA delivers votes.

Would that era be pre-throwing stick?

I'm sure Republicans are being blamed in some salon or another.

IIRC, it goes back to player piano rolls. The congress wanted to support technical inovation while seeing to it that the copyright owners got paid.
This product does exactly the source code says it does. All other documentation is purely opinion.
Great! I'll be ripping this line.

Congress makes the laws and budgets that guide the NIST. If Congress wants the NIST to create the standards then the NIST will create the standards.
Max Headroom *is* about selling Coke.
