Your chronology is peculiar. Vinyl preceded Magnetic Reel. (MR is a WWII technology, Vinyl much older.) Open-reel tapes were never a dominant consumer technology.
The extra wiring capacitance and the overhead of unusable components creates a severe performance disadvantage for any FPGA design. The performance gains of reprogramming hardware to exactly meet the requirements of a particular job must be very substantial to overcome the inherent weakness of an FPGA for general purpose computing.
I remember that in the 1970s a store in the New York City subway system had a "going out of business sale" (of stuffed animals) that lasted several years.
Rite-Aid drug stores allow entering rebate information over the internet, and so far have been 2-for-2 for me. No third party, and the entry form tells you quickly if your data is acceptable.
Current best estimates say that human population will peak about 2050 and then slowly decline. "...uncontrolled growth of the human population..." is not worthy of rational concern.
The Lexmark example you cite shows that manufacturers will attempt to use the DCMA to stifle competition. This attempt will discourage small competition unable undertake protracted legal battles. It will also add to the costs of those competitors who are able to undertake a legal battle.
CPM did something interesting in addition: four bits were set aside for a user number. Do a DIR as user number 1 and only files stored as #1 were visible to you.
Manufacturers have had the capability for a few years now to fabricate LEDs with a peak at any visible wavelength. These peaks are sharper than the peaks of most CRT phosphors.
There are a lot of people who want to grab up the bandwidth that becomes available when analog TV gets shut down. The governmant is going to be delighted to "sell" it.
1. PDFs, like HTMLs (only worse), are bandwidth hogs.
2. On the browsers I use (IE and Mozilla) PDFs only display after all data has been downloaded. This slows down reading the first few lines of info, often by several minutes.

Heavy financial penalties for the spam seems reasonable to me. Jail time should be used only for the fraud portion.
Some enlargers take filter packs instead of a dichroic head. The filters are not unreasonably expensive.

There are hundreds of them. They even have their own "society".

3%-5% sounds pretty tight for markup only. Are you sure you're not including overhead?

Yes, you need to say "I welcome our new Icthyan overlords."
Forth is a language, not a number.
Depends upon what you consider hurt. Wildlife starving in a harsh winter seems hurtful to me.
I support global warming and I'd like to see a lot more of it.

"mil" means "milli-inch", 0.001 inch. (Hence the name "mil".) It's 0.0254 millimeter.
20% efficiency would be delightful. Most LEDs can't do anywhere near that well.
Manufacturers have had the capability for a few years now to fabricate LEDs with a peak at any visible wavelength. These peaks are sharper than the peaks of most CRT phosphors.
Absolutely correct. Remember, the FCC mandated the inclusion of UHF tuners equal in quality to VHF tuners. IIRC, this happened in the the 1960s.

The right to own a gun is not a basic human right. It is a right derived from the right to protect your own life, which is the basic human right.
"Honey, I Shrunk the Audience" is acceptable, but hardly good.
The original 3D feature, which included a flight through blooming fruit trees, had no story line but was a thing of great beauty.

You mean the burned placed weren't repaired properly?
You obviously have a very badly screwed moral system, if you believe that in any context (including business) stealing and cheating can be moral.
The GPL offers another option to business as a source of software. As such it is pro-business and pro-humanity.
Rodents are order rontentia. Hedgehogs are order insectivora (I'm not sure of this.)
