I get 'em occasionally at NYTimes.com (which some would say is questionable, I suppose;-) - I think they've got a javascript onclick attribute on a container div, as they only come up when I click somewhere on the page to scroll.
The Russians built and launched one (which failed due to technical problems). The concept is certainly within our reach.
Also, solar sails would work in low earth orbit. Photons of light impart force, not just the solar wind. That's how (as another example) those laser propelled spacecraft ideas would work, as well.
I'd say that the Second Amendment rights are abridged more often than free speech. Not to take sides politically, but there's a huge industry grinding out military-grade weapons that you can't own.
That's not necessarily an infringement of the Second Amendment - nowhere does it say "the right to bear F-16s shall not be infringed"...
You missed the point. People are willing to spend more when they don't see physical money changing hands.
Seeing $500 in $20 bills, for example, would probably give a lot of people pause when buying a new iPod Photo. Swiping a credit card looks the same whether it's $1.89 at McDonalds or $500 at an Apple store.
I'm pretty sure this is wrong. Everything goes through AOL's servers.
I know for certain the file transfers don't - I get two megabyte per second speeds transferring between computers on the LAN here, far faster than my DSL permits over the 'Net.

Let's say we get rid of IP.
An Indonesian lab stuns the world by announcing that they've got cold fusion working.
American company, having no IP restrictions, mass produces it. Indonesian lab workers are now screwed and penniless.

Purely science fiction?

I take it you haven't seen Google Gulp yet?

Windows 98 to Windows ME was a step? I'd call it a stumble...

I'm guessing they buy 'em, then return them for cash. If they're bulk boxes they could be $50-$100 each.

They probably shouldn't have been encouraging Apple employees to break their contracts, then.
Yeah, 'cause the non-techie investors read Slashdot...
Really?
I hear SCO is poised to take off!
Seriously, two words for you: phrase book.
Plus the whole "90% of us speak better English than you..." aspect.
Try going more than a couple pages either way. The links stop working after a few pages.
It's just an image already, why on earth would it need Flash?
Apparently you haven't used the little "add note" button yet.
Oh, good, a link to the Yahoo! home page, which doesn't have the term "flickr" anywhere on it. Nice evidence, there.
I think the point was you could easily have a meal for $4 at home if you made it yourself.
And the Wright Flyer was only a distant cousin to the Space Shuttle...
That's sorta the plot of Singularity (amzn aff warning) where the Tunguska Object turns out to have been a black hole.
There's a feedback link at the bottom of every search, but I can't imagine a lot of people using that.
When you've got a few million people using a site at any one time, you're bound to get at least one...
Perhaps the poster should have specified that you need useful attention.
There was never any intention of us becoming the world's economic superpower, either. We wound up needing an army more than we'd hoped.
because the law says that if enough people think that a particular medium is private, it (legally) is
If that were true, people (and the police) wouldn't be able to rummage through trash cans.

The 2005 budget proposed by Bush freezes all federal spending
only if you don't count the cost of the Iraq war.
