I would add to that the following:
1a. Keep the ISS as a close, scientific outpost, for easy testing of 0g and science experiments.
1b. Then, make a second station, this is the fatory, longterm, station. (there was a slashdot on this i think) This would be the station deeper into space, somewhere around the halfway point from here to the moon. This is the launch pad for deep space missions.
2. A new, sleek, cool looking shuttle (just because).
3. A cheaper way to get materials into space.
is this deep junior a real chess player, or, like deep blue, just a program that has been tuned to beat this single opponent and noone else? These deep blue chess machine's are cool, but they are not, in my understanding, a true chess computer able to go against anyone.
The machine that won the match originally geared specifically to counter Kasparov and new his past games.
They should have this machine on the internet to play against, say, 50(not to overwelm it) people online at a time through a browser.
freedom is not openning code and requiring(!) that everyone else that uses that code must also open their code.
In the USofA we are free... don't argue, just go with it... we have this Bill of Rights and the Freedom of Speech, That freedom doesn't say "You can say whatever you want as long as it's nice" it says that we can say things that other people disagree with, we cannot threaten the President's life, but we can openly disagree with him. That is freedom, giving someone a right(code) and saying "here ya go, do what you want with it, even if i don't agree with how you use it".
PD and BSD are like this, you can take that code, and use it however you want... FREELY.
The GPL is saying "Take this code, but you can't close it, you have to leave it open. That isn't free.
so with this pattern recognition you would no longer need a browser... or more exactly, you have the kernel render all the pages and hav just a frontend for the browser.
Thise could be carried into office fileformats... having some kind of training of the kernel(comparing the test.doc to a test.txt... all using the same pattern recognition engine! sounds good, now all we need is a sourceforge page!:)
Is there a way to verify that files shared are actually legit and not these fake files? Flaging down bad files and marking them so (beyond control of the user sharing these fileS) others could see if the files is what they want or not.
Kazaa has an integrity rating (good|average|poor) Maybe we could add a |fake option.
again, this would have to reflect the user sharing the files and have his files be rated without his control (like a warning percentage on im networks). Just a thought.
i may be wrong here, but you can have less than perfect vision and still drive(with glasses). If you legally blind, you still may be able to see, to and extent, but you are not allowed to drive. Legally blind people crossed over the threshold where they can see but as a whole, their vision is too poor to drive.
Macos has voice recognition built in, you can control your browser and it will dictate for you. also, ibm's viavoice is available for speech recognition.
Oregon has had 10 digit dialing for several years now, before we "switched" our Maryland relatives told us that they had been doing it for a long time, and it was no big deal. Now when i reach for the phone, i jus punch in 503 without thinking about it.
"Somehow slapping a few big magnets on the side of a ship"
Maybe i misunderstand you, or the idea behind electromagnets... but arn't they only magnets when they have electricity fed to them? so if you were out at see, you just wouldn't have them on, and if you were in shore... well if there are mines that close to a harbor, you are screwed anyway.
1) so if we have to pay this pirating tax, does that mean that we then, are allowed to download music legally(since we payed via our isp)?
2) doesn't this assume guilt when in the good ol' US of A we are innocent until proven guilty? It assumes _everyone_ is pirating software and punishes us(via this isp tax) for that crime. This is America damnit! You cannot fine an ISP for the actions of it's users, nor can you tax the generally internet public for the actions of the minority!

So is this the beginning of a small business/open source software project? It could be interesting to see what kind of coverage/prices you could provide as a business.
Ok, is it safe to say that we arn't going to stick with some clunky grafitti system forever? So maybe this is just dreaming hear, but could palm use this opportunity to test out some option "out-there" technology? Ok, I will say it, Voice recognition. IBM's viavoice is available for the ipaq, now why not palm one up MS by bundling some neato killer feature that no other handheld has.
And I must say, compared to the several palms i have used, pocket pc is just better.
Grafitti-like
The recognition is not much better than on palm's grafitti, but pocket pc's recognition is software based, inthat, instead of that box at the bottom of all palms where you have to write, pocketpc can hide that box whenever you want, just by hitting a button. I get about 70-80% accuracy with the grafitti like system(lifting your pen off the surface can can make unwanted letters to popup). This is the best system to use for me.
Freehand Recognizer
As part of that freehand input, you can run a notepad like program in pocketpc, that lets you write on the screen, and then "recognize" your handwritten notes. Very cool, but not all that useful, about 50% accuracy (not worth using regularly).
QWERTY Keyboard
Pocketpc also uses that software input box for a keyboard that is quite useful to use. Not as productive as a full sized ofcourse, but decent typing can be done by hunt-and-pecking. I would say about 85% recognition, but it is slow, accurate, but slow.
Transcriber
I have a third option for my pocketpc. Transcriber is a microsoft program that lets you write in free hand on the screen and takes it as any other input(similar to notepad,but usable in any program). It is more of a novelty than an utility as regocnition for it isn't great, but the program idea is quite cool. Around 60-70% worth using, neat to have, but a novelty.
How about an optional cache of the site supplied as an option along side all links posted on a news article? The cache would be made by slashdot, but even a google cache would work.

well, gobe tried to go opensource, but is having trouble doing so. Also, several engineers from gobe have gone to apple.
yes, but now the kernel source code will be much sharper and easier on the eyes. :)

ok, agreed. So what kind of encryption can we have these system incorporate to keep peeping toms from listening in?
It was just a thought.
Ok, I am done. Thank you for listening.
