No. Everyone with a TV or radio knows that Phelps won 8 medals, when the next season of Stuck-On-An-Island-With-A-Film-Crew starts, and how the evil gas companies are making gazillions of dollars at our expense.
Yes, the supply of the bits that describe Fleetwood Mac's Rumours is infinite. But if Fleetwood Mac does not get paid, they stop making more music. And it ripples, but it takes time. When musicians do not make money, there will be fewer musicians, and the supply of music to buy will decline.
The supply of music will keep increasing, but the supply of music to buy, being that which is interesting to people and which people do not already have and which is not yet in the public domain will not keep increasing.
I had a box with a drive with an empty primary partition at the beginning and Linux on a few extended partitions at the end. The OpenSolaris install documentation and the installer itself promised not to touch the existing extended partitions. Which it didn't. It did, however, wipe the partition table so I could not find my extended partitions and had to restore from backups.
Everybody who thought they were evil beforehand still does. Everybody who loved them beforehand still does. Everybody who did not have a clue beforehand still does not.
No PHB is going to avoid Microsoft products because of this.

It is kinda like how people say "we won" when their favorite sports teams win.
he knows people aren't going to let him slide on the space race
Yeah. He'll never get reelected if he slides on the space race. You can start wars, lie to the people, violate the constitution, try your hardest to screw up the economy, and fail to ban partial birth abortion and get re-elected, but the American public will definitely remember that you skimped on NASA funding.
"until the magic moment when a teacher recognizes a potential peer"
Bullshit. In the US education system, most people who will be scientists decided to be scientists when they were excited by what their middle and high school science teachers thought was "a dreary business, a burden".
And if you believe the "white male" elitist bit, look at what percentage of graduating scientists from US universities are foreigners.
Is a public health service better than lower taxes?
The answer to that question may be irrelevant. First ask: can the government provide better health service by collecting taxes than the tax money could have otherwise purchased in the private sector.
If you would rather have higher taxes and better public health service, but the government is not capable of making the trade-off, why push for it?
Okay okay, Swing is slower than c/gtk+ or c++/qt. So nobody is going to write graphic intensive software with Swing. But it is just fine for business applications. And quicker and easier to develop than web apps.
Why do people not use it? Because PHBs do not think "Java/Swing" sounds enterprise like "Java/J2EE" does. IBM and Sun could probably fix this with a bunch of ads in those "industry magazines" that sit on every PHB's desk.
Or he could just get a ceramic knife that doesn't have metal in it.
Or he could just swipe some fluorescent tube lights from the bathroom in the terminal after going through security and break them to make a pretty menacing and lethal weapon.
Read what I wrote again. Detectors can be set to register titanium, but titanium does not register like surgical steel does.
Some detectors will pick up the iron in blood of people with high iron levels before they pick up titanium. They have to set up the detectors with reasonable* sensitivity.
* Reasonable for security theater, not reasonable for finding all metals going through.
Many people make the mistake you have so don't feel bad.
?! I have made many mistakes (e.g. the one that resulted in all the metal) than not many people make, and I still don't feel bad about them.
I've got 9 screws and a plate. I have never set off a detector. I asked my doctor about this, and he said that the alloy they have been using for the last decade or so does not set off detectors like the old surgical steel does.

IOC is to athletics as NASCAR is to auto racing.

The same things that screw up every system.
Feature creep.
Constant scope changes.
Unrealistic timelines.
Unrealistic budget.
Mandatory meaningless milestones.
Clueless management.
Corrupt management.
Incompetent people.
Marketing.
Supply is not near infinite in the long term.

The nose (the nostrils in particular) don't move, which results in a disconnect between the mouth and eyes.

I will not be using OpenSolaris anytime soon.

It seems that most of the enterprises in business that have been in business for more than 150 years make alcoholic drinks. Lets stick to that.

There is a difference between a coding bug and a fatally flawed architecture design. One can often be fixed quickly and easily, and the other can't.
Honda, Toyota, and Subaru seem happy to build cars in the US.
That is the same mindset that led to a gazillion web pages that were IE only. People wrote for IE rather than writing for the spec.
Write for LSB, and it will work on LSB compliant distros.
The idea of a reference implementation of LSB is a good one though.
