It's no secret that some Indian software outfits have created very high quality software.
But to pin so much hope on something so fickle as offshoring-to-the-lowest-bidder is completely reckless. Of course, Indian salaries will rise. They have to. Then it's off to Bangladesh, sub Saharan Africa.... or even Detroit.
Nothing is perfectly reflective, and if you cover yourself with a 99% reflective surface you're still going to couple with a LOT of energy. Maybe you won't be vaporized a la War of the Worlds, but you'll be burned pretty bad.
Buchla was a major force on the West coast, and in heavy-experimental acidhead electronic music. But Bob ruled the East Coast, his use of a traditional keyboard opened synths to pop & classical genres.
Later, ARP and others copied many aspects of Moog's designs, the Japanese ate everyone's lunch, and the rest is history.
Buchla & Serge stuck with the touch sensitive sequencer keyboards that I prefer, but 50,000 working musicians preferred the traditional keyboard.
but do you know that he wasn't thrown out for biting kids?
decent animal shelters will find out if an animal has bitten somebody (esp. children) and will let potential adopters know. They want animals to stay adopted, and they want adopting families to be safe.
Didn't Gene Amdahl blow a fortune trying to do this 20+ years ago? I think the company was Trilogy. They did succeed in some die stacking technology but I think they ended up selling the ideas and it went nowhere.
Reading thru the various materials, the person who put the course together chose to follow the mainstream ingore/dismiss MNT ideology. Too bad.
The NNI promotes this kind of thinking. I call it 'Nanotechnology: By Chemists, For Chemists' because it shies away from the most powerful applications of molecular manufacturing in order to not offend the gray-haird 'experts' trying to defend their turf.
So what we're left with is buckyballs and other stuff we can already do with bulk processes. Yawn.
Does the Great Firewall do anything *useful*, like stopping viruses, spam, etc, or is it all just about preventing Chinese from seeing certain words and pictures?

This mirror will have to have very aggressive cooling.

We could send people from Nebraska to Beijing in a half-hour AND solve the ICBM stockpiling problem!
just a song before I go
a lesson to be learned
traveling twice the speed of sound
it's easy to get burned.

Just take a look around any seven eleven, Mcdonalds or pizza hut, the Midwest is overrun with megafauna.
or are we bringing in the cheeatahs to deal with 'em?
mmmmm.... Milky Way Bar......
Stuff like this will never see the light of day... too many ranchers, their offspring, etc to consider.
I think with all the work MS is "trying" to do to improve their image,
---Look, Bill! Even the slashdot guys think we're trying to improve our image!
hawhawhawhaw
Now that Bush signed the 'Energy Bill' we have this gigantic solar project, underwritten by a big utility. Coincidence?
suicide bomber recruiters (there is a major labor shortage there, only idiots take a job with such lousy carreer opportunities
yeah, but these dudes expect to be instantly promoted to *heaven.*

Carly just wanted to hang out with Steve Jobs and see if some of the coolness would rub off.
It didn't.
If Microsoft blocks out even a single other vendor, they are very likely to find themselves in court.
Yes, threat of legal action/public outcry will SURELY keep MS honest, as it's done in the past.
I turned my clock back a half hour... I'll never need to change it.
Why get a CS degree?
So you can have intelligent conversations with the other cab drivers!

And no number of Londoners (or New Yorkers, or Spaniards) slaughtered will save a single impoverished Arab, either.
If the internet becomes *mostly* Chinese, that may change the nature of the internet from what we see today.

What's the practical time limit for this technique if it's at 7 deg C? A few days? Meat doesn't keep forever in a refrigerator.
But yeah, sounds great. I'd love to put my 5-figure savings in the bank and take a 60-year nap and be a millionaire when I wake up.
And then find out a loaf of bread is $5,000.
... also, they're working on a video player app for the ipod photo.
