that would be fine and dandy if the deck were not stacked in favore of the Corperations.
the recent change in Copyright law has been driven by large corperations and industry organizations that represent those corperations.
original copyrights only lasted 20 years then they were public domain, now, thanks the the late sonny bono and sony the copy rights extend to the life span of the person who created the work plus 70 years.........
how is that fair?
add to that the latest attacks on time shifting technologies and the move to content control over the cable lines, it seems to me that the entertainment industry is setting up an infrastructure that will eventualy support their ultamate goal, pay-per-access of all content and copulsery licensing of multiple personal copies.
oh and before you say anything.....just because the suppream court ruled somthing doesn't mean they have to hear the case and it certainly doesn't mean congress can't pass an illegal law (ie DMCA)
2.)Syntehetic fibres go way back at leat to Rayon in the 1930s.
I am sure he wasn't talking about all syn fibers.
and velcro came from space flight research in the 50s also, thanks to the jet propution labs, our modern war planes are much faster and more fuel efficet, and what about the leep that have been done in optics and computers....(well part of that is due to the DoD and NSA but NASA has delivered important technologies such as beowulf clustering.

that does make sence.....
however...I think that we may have to explore genetic engineering a little more than most people would want to right now sao any research into that would be well down the road....at least in humans.

....A complex-looking object can easily arise from simple rules and/or simple building blocks....
yeah just look at the universe....it has just 4 simple rules.....gravity, weak nuclear, strong nuclear, and electomagnetic.
or if you want to get into GUTs there are 2 rules
gravity, and the strong-weak-electromagnetic,
look at what the estimates were 5 years ago of when the project would be finished.....I think that it was 2005 or so and in the eighties everyone believed that is would be well into the 21st century that the project would be complete
sometimes it isn't the project that has value, it is the tools that are developed to complete the project that are valuable.
this is to a joke. if it weren't darwin would have developed to the point of Linux in a shorter period. just look at the claims that the page makes, everything that linux has.

I prefer the former however.
Your statement is very true....

hey I wonder if Micro$oft have shares in the Research companies that work on those clones

ummm....well actualy it is temporaraly using the mach kernel. when they make a work-alike for the kernel they will replace mach with it.
