I doubt that something like this may be the case, but it does sound quite possible. However I don't feel that they would be willing to let this go.
I have heard that IBM uses its large warehouse of patents purely as a method of protecting itself from lawsuits. Upon digging around a bit, I found that IBM had done the same thing to Sun that it is now trying against SCO.

The number of patents that IBM has surely must number in the millions by now. I wouldn't be surprised if they had patented parts of most of what you see in the computer world these days. Either that or have patents on its prior art. I find it unlikely that IBM would really want to go to the effort of launching lawsuits against nearly everybody and everything that ever touched code and become another SCO.
We've also already heard that IBM does not prosecute their patents against open source developers.

Wasn't there some stipulation somewhere that Darl would get a whopping bonus if he could have several quarters of profitability in a row? Did he ever get that far, or did he just kiss his bonus goodbye?
Not to make another "Uphill, both ways" joke, but my school is rather anal about CS majors having to not only take a digital logic course (covering gates, counters, proms, 8086 assembly, etc), but we also have to take a soul rending processor design course where we have to design a stack based processor in vhdl. Unfortunately, the only real asset this class provided was enough basic knowledge to write an emulator...assuming I had any interest at all in doing so. The school does offer an assembly language course for processors in the 68000 family, but this course is typically for students who are computer engineering majors, go figure.
Yes, yes, there are smart programmers in India, Singapore, Russia, and several other countries, but this article misses the point entirely and is rather short sighted. This outsourcing problem is an increasing and very alarming trend. There is a new kind of brain drain happening now in America.
This particular link points out that "...the best minds will not, for the most part leave the country, they will simply never develop." While I don't agree with everything in it, I do have to concur with that particular point. Historically, countries that have been affected by "brain drains" have been significantly hurt economically. The author points out that America has seen "brain drains" before, and has survived them rather well. Let me point out that it is also the world's largest economy. A large system as it is, it will have a reasonable amount of resistance to economic change, but just how many industries do we have to lose before this economy collapses entirely? As tasteless as it may sound, to me, this guy sounds exactly like a NASA head saying that the Columbia is a robust enough vehicle to make it through reentry without bothering to check that wing for impact damage.
On the other side of things, lets say we decide to let our already crappy economy get a little more weakened. What do we get as a result? Very likely millions of jobless workers. There is only a finite amount of what we can do to remedy this. Retraining them is not a complete solution, as there is no guarantee that there are comparable paying jobs, and the retraining itself could end up costing billions.
Stretched to the limit? I happen to know someone who used to work at NASA. His basic take on the goings on there was that a massive chunk of their budget is lost to beaurocratic waste and bad management. (The Hubble telescope lens debacle for example.) This and other comments he has made about NASA led me to believe that the entire organization needs be dissolved so we can start over, and have something else take its place.

Darn newbies! In my day we had to drive 75 miles to the nearest university to use telnet on vt320 and vt52 dumb terminals and send color codes by typing out the control strings manually, and that was only if you were lucky enough to get one of the 6 terminals in the whole school that would be free for use, and we were lucky to have them! One you got on, then you had to sit and wait hours until a slot became free for you to log on, and then the lag was so bad that you had to wait 5 minutes between commands for the other side to catch up, and that was the way we liked it!
Gee. Why am I not surprised by this. Perhaps because I've heard of ball lightning ages ago. I find it odd that this article on Sanduloviciu doesn't even mention anything about it either.

I seriously doubt her claims of possibly being able to reach 100% efficiency out of a solar cell. The current maxium possible efficiency that can be produced is about 30%. "Actual" efficiency is usually closer to 25%. New research into multilayer indium gallium nitride cells could approach a theoretical 70%. (50% for a 2 layer cell") My primary concern here is just how many watts these windows will pump out per dollar, cuz if its much over $6-7 a watt, I wouldn't expect many people to purchase them.

Kill Liches? If you are having trouble with Liches, perhaps you are going down levels too quickly and encountering big monsters too soon. (Or just unlucky enough to run across a high level bones file) By the time I even see my first Lich I'm usually equipped well enough to easily take them down. There are of course easy ways to take them out, wield a cockatrice corpse (remember to use gloves), then hit them with it. Or just genocide as soon as possible, but I prefer to polymorph myself into an Arch Lich (don't try this if you're Lawful folks) .
Actually haven't read much in the form of novels recently. But that doesn't mean I haven't read anything.

What works on the quantum scale isn't necessarily the same as normal scale. Why does normal scale have to be the same as a galactic scale? I think your idea of expansion could be valid in this case.
Regardless of whether they find some "missing matter" by finding a number of wimps, just as they have found failed stars (machos), I feel there is still too much of the universe missing to be covered by wimps and machos. It seems that it is far more likely that science is wrong about how gravity and/or matter work over long distances than the amount of missing matter to be around 90%.
I am seriously beginning to believe that for any reasonable progress, NASA would have to be restructured, or dismantled so a new organization could be formed. (Simply go to google and look for 'NASA > corruption' to see what I'm talking about.) Any new paths in space exploration won't be fruitful without both affordable practicality of designs and something to get around the present bureaucratic nightmare. Otherwise we are just going to sit and do the same old tired thing.
It seemed to me that the slimy goo mixed with the blood of the target, creating a smell that they could track easily, since they appeared to be quite blind. Although they could however still hear their prey, but I doubt they could pick out a single eloi from a pack of stampeding ones. To support this point further, having the goo itself provide all of the odor without mixing with the blood would provide for many problems considering just how many times a blind morlock could miss with their blow gun.
