Speaking of Bush, He went into a tizzy when China said they wanted to go to the moon; an obvious plot to control the lucrative green cheese market. Japan wanting to do the same will certainly get his panties in a bunch!
I think that the real problem is that schools only want to prepare kids for the next level of school, not for life. By the time we are in high school, there needs to be a focus on what you will do for a living as an adult, how to balance a check book. How to fix your house in case you aren't rich and won't have "people who do that for you." kids today don't know that you have to boil potatoes before you can mash them!
College was supposed to be a purely academic pursuit not for getting a job. If high school graduates are not ready to enter the workforce, that is what trade schools used to be fore, and they need to be brought. If you are not going to be a doctor, lawyer, or professor; maybe college is not for you.
While popcorn is easy, roasting coffee is what this one is for, and that is a bit more complicated. You can make the same variety of coffee taste many different ways if you control the roasting process carefully enough.
The hardest part about this setup is finding a working original West Bend Poppery. You will probably only find the Poppery II, which has only 1200 watts, not 1500 and no on/off switch. I use those with only one mod: A hole drilled in the lid to accomodate a thermometer. Monitoring temperature that way is a bare minumum to control the process. You need one that goes up to 550 degrees fahrenheit. Most don't.
Fresh roasted coffee is the best kind you will ever have. Even people who thought they didn't like coffee can change their minds. Unlike at Starbucks where they burn the coffee until it all tastes the same, you can roast any way you like, and taste the difference between one coffee and another if you do it yourself.
An article about the Shroud of Turin is in the Science/Space section of USA Today. Even with carbon dating a Shroud believer wants to cast doubt upon, it belongs in the religion section, or something to that effect. USA today is McNewspaper. It is not fit for the bottom of a birdcage.
Sanborn is probably having a laugh at the pros trying to decrypt what is really only jibberish. It is just like the joke Magic Eye poster that doesn't have a hidden image.
So, they are calling it the Phoenix mission. They are giving away by that name where the "mars surface pictures" will really be coming from. Not that the current mission is any different.
Maybe it will be a lot dangerous. Some will want to use this technology to make new medicines, and cure diseases. The military will want to make biological weapons.
Comparing copying things to killing people with malice, forethought and a motive? Now that't not comparing apples to oranges, that's comparing apples to rocks. It's ridiculous.
Locking up ideas as property through stifles their free flow much like suppressing them. This is how copyright is censorship. It was intended to be a trade-off to promote the progress of science and the useful arts by temporarily locking expressions of ideas as property.
It may have served that purpose when copyright terms were short, but now that they are creeping ever toward perpetuity, and penalties for infringement are becoming more draconian, copyright stifles the progress of science and the useful arts. Perhaps it is time for the very idea of copyright to be scrapped.
I wouldn't jump to that conclusion if you mean the big recording labels. An increasing number of teen kids are buying video games and DVDs, which offer more value for the dollar. An increasing number of adults are refusing to patronize businesses that won't respect thier personal property rights after the sale.
While the companies producing the DRM will make big bucks in the short term, the recording labels will only shoot themselves in the foot by using DRM. When they are forced to abandon the technology as Sony recently did, the gravy train for DRM producers will be gone, too.

Funny that you mention IBM. They were Carly Fiorina's real employer, and her mission was to destroy HP. It looks like she pulled it off.

You have no right to remain silent, as silence is a copyrighted work...

What they most want to hide from us is really alarming!
Star Trek is dead. Let it rest. Volcano cults looking for virgins to sacrifice don't even go to ST conventions any more. Read more.

I can't wait to see the photoshops!
XM and their lone competitor merging? You can't be Sirius!
Can they make better music than the robots who made Metallica's St. Anger and other teen pop shiat? I hope so.

They might even do it to us using the death ray on the dark side of the moon if we keep snooping. They don't like that.
The observation probe may only be taking pictures of a UFO blowing up the impact probe, just before it is blasted to space dust just like CONTOUR.
Even in Asimov's I Robot, the novel that gave us the laws of robotics, robots didn't obey them.
It would not surprise me at all to see robots winning soccer tournaments. They are already making a big splash in teen pop.

Martians smartians! They are in Arizona. This picture proves it.
NASA is hoping this comet probe works out better than the last one, CONTOUR. It will work only if the aliens let it.
It's not very nice to call a young lady a ho! Maybe Santa didn't mean it that way, but she took it that way.
How about Scruffy the Roomba? Is he a being? Does he have rights? William Smythe thinks so.
