Ink for my Canon Pixma is only $15 for the official ink. There are 6 different inks, but each lasts longer than my mother's HP cartridges and I print more than she does.
On the other hand, HP's model is like the razor model: give away the printers cheap and charge an arm and a leg for the ink. Mind you, the printers are cheap pieces of excrement.
I'm guessing you never studied the scientific method. One point of data (anecdotal evidence) means nothing, even in a "soft science" like psychology.
The linked story says that both conditions can linked to "the same chromosomal neighborhoods", which is nowhere near the same thing as equating the two conditions (which the summary incorrectly implies). For my counter-point, my mother had bi-polar disorder. She never had any symptoms of schizophrenia or paranoia (and yes, I understand what those symptoms are), but looking back over my childhood, the manic and depressed periods are easy to recognize.
J2ME is a fairly well defined language without the first version problems still inherent in the iphone market. It's also fairly wide-spread (except on the iphone) and you don't have to be tied to one carrier.
Those who are suggesting a web-based approach must have huge phones with high bandwidth. On my last 2 phones, using the web-browser (built-in or Opera mini) was just painful whereas the Java apps were easy to use (I've used GMail, Google maps and a Sudoku app).
I'm not sure if this what you're looking for, but it claims:
Converge magazine provides strategy and leadership for technology use in K-12 and higher education. Senior policy makers in education utilize Converge for articles on proven, effective educational methods and models for the 21st century and beyond.
You might try 2-way pagers (like a Motorola T900). They have a full qwerty keyboard (although very small) and service can be reasonable (500 messages for $20). I used these pagers before and liked them.
The court did not make a ruling... YET

RTFA! All it says is that the court denied a motion to dismiss the charge of trespass to chattel by the defendants. The whole thing still has to go to trial. While this is a hopeful sign, the judge may later decide against the idea.
You confusing the "no cost" (or gratis) kind of freedom with the "use in any way" (libre) kind of freedom. They're not saying you shouldn't get paid for your work. Hell, charge as much as you can get away with. They're saying you shouldn't restrict the person who gets the results of that work from doing whatever they want with it (change the code, distribute the code, etc.).
You said: ship the DNA sequence information off to the CDC's supercomputers, and have them automatically develop a new antibiotic that will kill the bug.
I suggest arsenic. What? You want to keep the patient alive too?
Seriously, this requires the ability to ensure that the "new anti-biotic" is, relatively, side-effect free on humans. This is more like a challenge for the next few centuries.
Can I have this in libraries of congress per watt? Or diameters of earth per 21 gigawatts? (I think I messed up the reference.) Is miles per watt a useful scale? What does that mean?
I think I know what watts are, I know what miles are, and I somewhat understand the concept of ham radios. I still don't understand a relationship between the three (maybe I'm being stupid).
Anyone care to explain to the unwashed masses what this means?
A slinky of course. The plastic ones work well and don't get tangled like the metals one did (memories of burying my metal slinky cause it was too tangled).
I understand you're talking about is a vocabulary, but there are ample instance in other areas that counter your conclusion: TCP/UDP (build on IP), HTTP/FTP/telnet/many others (built on TCP/IP).
Perhaps, most tellingly are RFCs 1942, 1980, 2854, all concerning small parts of HTML (built on, originally, SGML, which could be said to be the mother of XML). I think RSS is unique enough to have it's own RFC.
I RTFA'd and all it says is that they want to eliminate the difference between custom software (currently hit by a some odd tax which is probably a lower % and may be 0% in some cases) and shring wrap software (which is hit with normal sales tax).
Also, licensed or leased software (ala software as a service type things becoming common) will also have sales tax (currently is not taxed). I expect that latter change will spread quickly as "software service" business plan becomes more common.
The one doing the library searches knew the books needed. That may work for a librarian or reporter, but most anyone else would have to spend some time browsing the book, looking in the catalog, or talking to the refernce librarian to find the book that would have the relevant data. Whereas Google can't be missed (never heard anyone says "WRONG GOOGLE!;).
Also, who but a reporter would have such a wide selection of friends to call on for stupid questions.
Simpson says, "I would imagine it would be quite embarrassing for a major ISP if they were found to have the worst connections."
Says I, "I imagine it would be quite interesting to see how fast major ISPs block NETI."
This reminds me of the expensive Battletech simulator that existed ~10+ years ago in a mall in Chicago. It had multiple monitors (one showing front view and one showing a radar). IIRC, each monitor was hooked up to a different computer, a PC for the front view and an Amiga displaying the radar. That was a cool game. Too bad it cost so much (like $5/per person/session). Eventually, they disappeared, although I saw a similar game in LA about 5 years ago (which has also disappeared since).

My guess is that Xerox isn't looking for any big payout, but rather some kind of cross-licensing deal for patents.
Wake me up when they open source the main .NET framework. They put this out there because no one is using it.
We'll just automatically apply speeding tickets when you go over the speed limit.

Is there an echo in your parent's basement?
There, fixed that for you.

Minor quibble:
In regards to SuSE, I'd point out the summary includes Novell (SuSE's owner) as already backing the LCC.
