I am reminded of a quote from Saint Augustine when I see this issue come to a head.
"Whenever I hear a brother Christian talk in such a way as to show that he is ignorant of these scientific matters and confuses one thing with another, I listen with patience to his theories and think it no harm to him provided that he holds no beliefs unworthy of you, O Lord, who are the Creator of them all. The danger lies in thinking that such knowledge is part and parcel of what he must believe to save his soul and in presuming to make obstinate declarations about things of which he knows nothing."
The doctrine of Creation, that God made the world and called it "Good", is not incompatible with a Darwinian understanding of how our bodies came to be and how life on this planet has become so diverse. Scientism versus Creationism is never going to go anywhere. Creationists should, however, listen to the science.
As far as I know, RCA never made their own stuff. Back when they started as a radio company, they had their sets manufactured by GE (a company they were essentially owned by) and Westinghouse. RCA has always been just a brand.
Gnome isn't a "charity" but a tax-exempt, non-profit organization. This is right from gnome.org:
GNOME Foundation is a tax-exempt, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and all donations are tax-deductible in the USA
There are plenty of other organizations that have the same status that are surely more disturbing than
a group dedicated to working on such a high quality (free) project as Gnome.

and found out she had lived in all 50 states of the USA, with about 60 different addresses in each one. Barbara, I would have loved you but you googled out to be really bloody sketchy.
I suppose what I was getting at is that the extra costs of the case beyond the normal costs of maintaining the attorney general's office have already been made. and since this is the government, and not a business, deciding whether to move on or not, the question should be centered on the public good. If no more, or at least a negligible amount of money is going to be spent (which might not be in the public interest) then the case should go forward.
I'm from MA as well and I have heard that part of the reason we are pursuing the case is that we have already incurred most of the legal costs of the case in the initial stages (according Tom O'Reilly, our attorney general for non massholes). I suppose that makes some sense if you consider how much preparation must go into a case like this; I can see how the research and paperwork might be the most expensive part.
"Plexus built 20 machines, each with 2 gigabytes of processing speed and the ability to run the thousand-dollar video card needed for the engineering program."
I have always dreamed of a machine with such processing power.
It seems like I've been hearing about fuel cells in portable electronic devices being around the corner for years now...although I wonder how that would work out for travelers (having a flammable liquid on board a plane).In any case, I certainly think long battery life is key to any ideal device.
There is nothing natural about 24FPS but that is part of what makes movies "magic." There is a great After Effects plug in out there called Cinelook, which is designed to make video, especially stuff shot on DV, look more like film and it accomplishes this in great part by changing the frame rate. 24FPS, IMHO, is not a limitation but an aesthetic choice, and a good one at that.

Astrophysics calculations eh? So basically it's an ugly R2-D2...great. Really fantastic.
