We don't have any now. They current space launch folks are all Boeing. They current industry giants got that way by doing well 40 years ago and now can charge any price they want. Mind you then price not a concern as we were racing the Russians to the Moon. Boeing is still trying to live in the cost is no object world as far as launches go.
The North Koreans cannot even get a satellite into LEO, what makes you think they have a man rated launcher?
The Space elevator needs technology not yet invented, deep space missions are being planned. None of those other nations have a way for the average man to go either. Falcon 9 lifts half of what the shuttle was rated for to LEO, Falcon Heavy will toss twice as much as the shuttle to LEO.
Going to Mars can be flown by private ventures. Sure NASA should focus on how to survive once we get there, but they do not need to build the rocket to get there.
I don't believe the private sector is the only solution. I do know however that the SLS is as ill advised as the Shuttle program. It only exists to keep ATK and the rest of that bunch in business. Right now government space programs only motivation seems to be to keep their friends employed.
ULA/USA AKA Boeing has a history of charging ass loads of money and sucking off the government teat, I think you mean. These are the entrenched players that hopefully SpaceX will shake up.
3D displays will not catch on if they are still going to be stereoscopic. Holographic displays may catch on, but a mouse and keyboard will likely still be in use. Just like current 3D modeling uses them.
Speech is an unnatural interface, that one has to learn to use. It is also slow, inaccurate and cumbersome. Those are the problem when using it to interacts with other humans, trying to use it with computers is even worse.
The mouse is less natural, try to show an old person one. They will prefer the keyboard. 3D displays will not
-100 for Sonicwall. They are total crap. Maybe they have a place in the SMB market, if that market is full if people who hate having money and enjoy buying bad things.
Then they will have to lower their prices to compensate. The lack of tax meant they charged more and had higher margins. This is econ 101 type stuff here.
Hosting those downloads costs something, Origin handles that for you and thus if you are getting it free for 90 days that means more money for the devs.
Not in the timezone where they are doing the launch nor in any of the timezones for the people footing the bill. I am glad the limeys get it at a good time, but that does not help me any.

But we are doing better than we were since then. The Shuttle was a huge step backwards, it took this long to recover from it.

NASA launches are already done by Boeing. Why would a different vendor change anything?
This means NASA will get more launches for their budget, if they get anymore cuts they have to have SpaceX just to survive.

Why is that not also the measure for private launchers?
While I would love to see NASA get back into the Nuclear rocket game, your measure seems a bit unfair.

By next iteration you mean next pork barrel spending project?
That thing is designed for only one purpose, to keep the shuttle parts suppliers in business.
Humans will be flown on Falcon 9s and possibly Falcon XXs before the SLS even manages to go over budget.
That depends on the drive and how fast you can send it data, more than the format. This is for linear reads and writes of course.
Coming back?
It never left, I used it everyday.
Why should the next man she marries be required to pay for children that are not his offspring?
140MB/s is low speed?
That is the speed of LTO-5, at best.
Fathers generally have to pay for 18 years, not life. Also that money pays for their children needs, not some recording execs vacations.
Instead of murder I just suggest he move out of the country.
While it might make for nice theatrics, advocating murder because you disagree with the outcome of a court case is not right.
The scam is you will get some bullshit answer and no matter what you will not change their opinion.
This entire thing is a huge waste of time.

Many would be wrong. The price is already set at what the market will bear, why lower it?
Costs have very little to do with price.
Have they dropped their obnoxious DRM yet?

I might stay up too, I am EDT but if I go to bed I could never be up by 4:55.
Sorry, they don't have a linux client, so no sale. It does look interesting, so if I can get the demo to work in wine maybe I will buy it.
