A common problem with Japanese to English translations is that they often aren't done by native English speakers. It's usually considered best to have a translation done by someone is who a native speaker of the target language, but for some reason the Japanese often don't do this. Although in this case the web page may have been put together quickly by Japanese scientists, who could be excused for this, I can see lots of translation problems just by looking at the manuals for my car or my television.
ITAR has no jurisdiction or concern with regard to ownership within the United States. No, it governs the nationality of the people who are allowed access to the information. If something is ITAR controlled only US citizens and green card holders can have access to it. ITAR applies to almost anything that could plausibly be used to construct a spacecraft or launcher. ITAR can make international collaborations very awkward, and even makes it hard to work with US universities with the large number of non-US people working at any major university. Some US universities don't even allow ITAR controlled data on their campuses (presumably to avoid the chance of being prosecuted).
I don't know whether ITAR is slowing down the development of weapons by foreign governments and terrorist groups. But, in my experience, it certainly is slowing down the development of US science and technology.

According to his biog, the physicist Richard Feynman did that when he was conscripted. Are you sure that was Feynman? I read a similar story in a biography of Alan Turing.
Corporations *should* have a social responsibility and conscience. I agree. Corporations should try to employ as many people as possible in impoverished countries such as India rather than employing people in the US/Europe who are certainly not going to starve with the loss of a few jobs.
>No reputable academic conference has such a thing as a "non-reviewed" paper.
In my field (astrophysics) I've never been to a conference where there's been any significant review of any type. i.e. conference papers are generally not reviewed.
And as for neutronium, yes, it gives a convenient place for it, but I'm not sure it even belongs there. I wouldn't call it an atom because it doesn't meet definition 3a, so I wouldn't call it an element at all.
Isn't a neutron really just an isotope of an atom made of zero protons and zero electrons? i.e. it's an isotope of nothingness.
I think there's a significant difference between autism and introversion.
Introverts can have very good social skills and enjoy interacting with other people. It's just that they prefer to do so in much smaller groups (e.g. one on one, or few on one) than do extorverts.
However, autistics and thoses with Aspergers Syndrome do have significant trouble with social interaction.
Surely what is needed is a way to distinguish between deliberately and accidentally open networks.
If the SSID is set to a default (like "linksys") that just seems like an oversight rather than an invitation.
For those networks which are deliberately open I suggest people use SSIDs such as "PublicAccessInvited". (The analogy here would be the difference between a door to a house which is unlocked and one which is unlocked and has a big sign saying "Welcome - Open House!"
For a real review of at least the last book
in the series take a look at
this
Extract:
"Despite various flaws--too much overt moralizing, the unwarranted flip-flop in the fundamental character of Mrs. Coulter, not enough Serafina Pekkala--His Dark Materials is an overwhelming reading experience, brought to a sublime and touching close by The Amber Spyglass. In another time, this is a book that would have made the Index, and in still another era gotten its author condemned to the stake as a heretic. Even now some concerned parents may judge that Philip Pullman has gone Too Far in his plain-spoken critique of religious orthodoxy. But as Blake said, you never know what is enough until you know what is more than enough. His Dark Materials is a novel of electrifying power and splendor, deserving celebration, as violent as a fairy tale and as shocking as art must be. "
The problem right now may be that the main potential users of DVRs are those people who would use them to fast forward through commercials. Unfortunately they're the same people who hit the "mute" button when the adverts come on and so don't hear all the adverts for DVRs!
Hardly "renound".
All he appears to have done is write two fairly routine scientific papers back in 1975 and then become a creationist

Cells without a nucleus are thought to have arisen billions of years earlier still (apparently very shortly after the Earth was capable of supporting life).

That's "principal" and "vice principal".

To drop from a higher altitude to a lower altitude you have to lose kinetic energy, not gain it.
No, objects in a lower orbit will have higher velocity (= higher kinetic energy), they have less potential energy.

The Dalai Lama apparently claims that Buddhism is different:

Acceleration isn't proportional to the square of the velocity (as a general statement). I guess you must be thinking of kinetic energy.

so banryu is just a "cute" extension of that.
