pr0n? We all know that if there's a pr0n application, then the technology will be developed & shipped 100-1000x faster. Speech recognition + pr0n... of course, the obvious control of the system by speech (first steps towards a holodeck), but also you could identify who's in that video by their... voice!
Your campaign lacks the push to garner even one state, it's a foregone conclusion that every state will go either Democrat or Republican to the layperson. Is there anything you're doing to try to change that?
By "Hack or devise some way to be able to play the original game to this new music", do you mean "turn down the tv volume and turn up the stereo volume"? That's the layman's solution -- we all use it to play real heavy metal over games with nu-metal or "hello kitty on speed"-type soundtracks. It's almost as good as putting heavy metal tapes in Teddy Ruxpin dolls.
I have a box of old MacOS's, and I also have an old mac Classic (boo yeah). So, let's try a little game: I give you the MacOS system 3.1 disk, and if you can boot it on a PC with your "tool", and if it works the same as it does on the mac classic (i.e. shows up in black and white, reads mac disks, etc), then you might have something. Otherwise, you can't run "anything" on "anything", you just think you can.
How about a role-based "register to view/edit forum" (tm), where each person is assigned a role where the permissions include "view messages to ME or from ME"?
more quotes from the professor: "The "range" software of Oliver Aberth (that I have on our computer) can find all the roots, real and complex, of any polynomial to whatever accuracy you specify. Of course the more you ask for, the longer it may take, but it's pretty fast for ten places for polynomials of degree say ten or so. His book "Precise Numerical Methods Using C++" describes the methods used in his range software."
Those are guaranteed solutions, too, not just "i think it's pretty close, but there's no way to prove it."
They also have guaranteed solvers for nonlinear (and/or partial) DE's... this kid is about 50 years too late.
From a seasoned math professor's reading of it: "It looks like a mess to me. I don't know what his point is. He says its a "method of solving the roots" of a polynomial. Well, we already have very fine methods for doing that, interval Newton methods for instance. Using circular disk arithmetic in the complex plane we can find all the complex roots as well. There is no need whatever to make things more complicated such as going to differential equations. That is unneccessary. Root finding is an algebraic problem."
Outsourcing is done to turn a higher profit, not to sell for less. Besides, what does Wal-Mart selling groceries have to do with outsourcing? Perhaps you were referring to Wal-Mart selling clothing, but even name brands are largely made overseas, so Wal-Mart is kinda the lesser of two evils -- if you must buy from overseas, why overpay as well? Not all of us can afford Roberto Cavalli suits, or what have you, just to ensure that all parts are 100% not overseas (of course, Italy's overseas from here too, so you'd have to come up with a designer exclusively manufacturing with a 100% US all-legal labor chain, from growing the cotton to shipping to your house -- good luck with that!)

Publicly available data... so?

There's a ton of publicly available data that I'm not sure would do anyone much more good in any format. i.e. you can get a copy of the fiscal budget of the USA, but I'm not sure an XML version is much better than the deforesting hardcopy... which is page after page of staggeringly large numbers in miniscule print, identified with really, really obscure allocation categories.

The best part is you could probably convert the GPU's buffers back to video, and draw the sound being processed. THat would be SWEET to watch, and probably would look great projected behind a live band doing real-time proc of the main mixing board:-D
Well, a regular fusion reactor requires gigantic magnets and/or lasers, so in short, no. Unless you can cram a multi-megawatt laser into your trunk, or unless cold fusion has some compact form (but we don't have it "working well" yet).
And so, I bring up the infamous space pen story, for those of you that don't know: The US space program spent millions developing a ball-point pen that could write in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, etc.
"In Soviet Russia" (This is where that comes from), they just use a pencil.
We need to 'just use a pencil', but get our stuff UP THERE nonetheless.
Sure, we have more land in the USA, but we have a ton more money too. I would argue that especially in cities, it's just too profitable to offer "high speed cable modem" access for $50 per month... if someone were to start offering 10mb for that price, all the big cable companies would have to switch to that as well...but until then, it's first come, first serve, highest price that people are willing to pay wins.
If you sign for one hash, you've signed for anything that can generate that hash... which is a great deal more than 2 different sets of data. It's an infinite set of data (in theory)!
For an OSS game engine to be successful, it would have to have some really innovative stuff. I.E. render faster, better, bigger than ID's products, or at LEAST as good. Plus, you have to invest in the graphics, etc. It is not as easy as connecting up some plugins and creating a product... if the game is similar to others, and not hugely fun to play, it will be very quickly ignored by everyone on the planet. Maybe if more graphics people gave away their work... but that's much harder to come by than OSS. You could always ask me to do some art, but even I can't imagine not charging SOMETHING for it.
We all know how to track down bugs in Microsoft programs... you use them! hey hey! I think they meant in the code... that part's probably harder. Cause you have to not disturb any of the OTHER bugs in there! HEY HEY!

For example, the Nova fusion laser produces 16 *T*rillion watts of laser light.

The new one will be even more: "NIF will generate up to 750 trillion watts of laser light."
Dang! That's definitely not fitting in my trunk.
