Because the operating system/firmware is the only thing that differentiates digital cameras? Seriously - the optics, sensor, and memory are all almost fungible. What's left is the camera body design and the UI. Why leave yourself with one less thing to differentiate yourself by?
Frank Wells - He was the people person for Eisner. Perished in a Heliskiing accident. Had originally intended to be the first person (w/Dick Bass) to climb the "7 Summits" but his wife objected to him spending too much time away from home.
Huh? Lasing has nothing to do with collimation! Most lasers aren't collimated! You can collimate any EM source (like a light bulb!) - a collimated beam is a beam with a fixed width down the direction of propagation. Perhaps you were confusing coherence with collimation?
Thousand Miles? Their goal is on the order of 200. Even that's really pushing the limits of adaptive optics (basically mirrors that correct for atmospheric distortion) at the speeds they need. Remember the ABL is a theater weapon; Star Wars is the global solution.
In the US 13.4% of the GDP goes towards health care. That's almost twice the rate of some of the "inferior" systems. Yet we have a lower life expectancy. Which system is inferior?
I see you are not familiar with standard federal government budgeting - they leave the zeros off. It depends on the agency how many they leave off. Interior, HHS, they usually leave off three. DOD leaves off 6 - so that's 100 million each. Congress usually leaves off 9 - they only speak in billions.
DISA (Defense Information Systems Agency) issued RFI's on this in 2002. In Decembver of 2003, DISA confirmed they'd contracted Juniper, Cisco, Sycamore and Ciena to provide equipment for this network. Total business is about $100 to each of the 4 through 2005. Now wouldn't it have been nice for some oversight on this 2 years ago?
Currently the US Tax code is structured so corporations immediately pay taxes on domestic earnings. Earnings from foreign operations are only taxed when the earnings are returned to the US, giving a huge incentive for reinvesting in foreign operations.
Because part of the growth in places like China is from people being able to afford to heat their homes? Drive a car? Ride a bike? Eat a full meal? Of course the other growth is from all of the jobs and industries we've outsourced to them. Pretty soon we'll be able to meet Kyoto because we're industry less!
It's not just Airbus, Boeing has blamed pilots for UI issues as well. See http://cse.stanford.edu/class/cs201/projects-99-00/critical-systems/commercial.htm/
The case your probably referring to is of the A320 where it was easy for pilots to confuse rate of descent with angle of descent (the screens looking similar). This is pilot error - they should have noticed they were about to hit the ground. A dumb design, yes, but pilots aren't paid 6-figure salary's to be oblivious to details.
You don't need all wavelengths - just a reasonable range of wavelengths, such as the YAG harmonics (266nm, 355nm, 532nm & 1064nm). Any laser beam used to blind someone will have to be of good quality (to obtain a reasonable power density at the retina) which will (currently) restrict them to the major laser wavelengths. If they found someone with the physics knowledge/money to do something different, you think they'd waste it on light when they could have a mushroom cloud?
"rather misguided"? So it's still socially acceptable to mock blacks, women and other minorities, and denigrate them in public? The income levels for these minorities haven't risen? Things aren't perfect now, but much progress has been made in the last 40 years.
Provide better public transportation/alternate transportation for the elderly. Many elderly I know no longer enjoy driving they find it to difficult and stressful. They all will hold onto their license until the DMV pry's it from their hands because without it they have no reasonable means to get food, visit freinds and family, or receive medical care.
Ummm. If their headquarters are in Minnesota, why is their Administrative Office listed at 920 Disc Drive,Scotts Valley, California 95066? (the same city the've been in for years). I'd say it's much more likely Seagate went jurisdiction shopping - especially since California is one of the least receptive state to NonCompete Agreements (correlation with economic growth anyone?)
Clinton sent a total of 2 e-mails. 1 to sign the electronic signature act into law - and 1 to test his ability to sign the electronic signature act into law:laugh:
An astute observer of the current American Political environment would notice that a majority of the transactions are commercial - or at least meant for commercial gain. GM doesn't donate money "because he's a nice guy", they donate money to have the tax code revamped.

He has a job. It's amazing how easily humans can rationalize.
What you consider "living like a teenager" is the way the rest of the world lives.

With the exception of the whole endorsement part this is exactly as the system works now.

Oh yeah! It's another Constitution thumping nut!
It may not be efficent to count the absentee ballots; it will guarantee an accurate representation of the will of the people in the vote count.

Except Co2 Laser Wavelengths aren't particular dangerous to the eye. 3 orders of magnitude less so than visible lasers.

Correct. There were several cases in the boom years where people did move to CA to escape from NCA's. In each case they were subject to the NCA.
