Others blame light for being too inflexible, not wanting to 'move too fast'.
Wouldn't you think the problem was rather light wanting to 'move too fast'?:-)
they need to get their costs right

From their website,
For the initial space elevator these recurring costs combined with repaying the initial capital investment would give us total launch costs of $100/kg ($230/lb or 1/10 to 1/100 of conventional systems)
So it's $100/kg, which works out to $230/lb. I see... looks like the same math that caused a recent failed mars mission.
I doubt mirrored sunglasses would help a member of Minority Report's society. If you watch the scene where all the people get off the subway you'll see a woman getting scanned even though her eyes are closed. She is in the lower left of the screen.
According to their webpage, the game "Crazy Soccer" has two entrants, with a third place prize of $2000. I've never played Crazy Soccer, but I bet I could come in third and pay for the trip to Seoul...
Where I work we moved from WordPerfect to MS Word years ago, and people still complain and want WordPerfect back. Heck, some folks bring in disks of things like WordPerfect for DOS, which I then find installed when working on their machines.
I think in many cases it's just whatever they first learned on, and they want to stay with that forever.
there were no aliens in A.I.

Michael, those weren't aliens... though I would have been fine if the movie had ended when David found what he was looking for. That would have been much more disturbing to the audience where I saw the movie
If you want to see pre-1990 movies that were less than 90 minutes try just about any 50's sci-fi movie. "Wasp Woman", "Angry Red Planet", etc. Most every one clocked in at about an hour to an hour and ten minutes. Of course some were shown as part of a double bill, so you got two movies for the price of admission.
I don't presume to speak for other film genres, but based on the old movies I've seen I think that kind of film length was rather common, probably more so than the multi-night, 3 and a half hour epics.
Why not just work towards making your favorite flavor of *nix not accept any content control protection scheme between your computer and monitor (or other device)? That way there will be a market for non-compliant monitors etc.

In that case the poster should have just provided the person's name.
If it doesn't matter why do you bother to mention it?

I concur, though by my sig it's pretty obvious I might feel that way. :-)
now we just need to hope that their webpage is served up by one of these systems...

From the article, "While we haven't had a chance to test the DeskJet 995C, ..."
Ummm, this may as well be an HP press release.

I know, I hit submit before thinking. My fault.
which leaves just 7 and 9...
